Colonial Tales: The Confines of the Shadow – Volume II
￥81.67
Set in the inter-war period, between the late 1920s, when Italy began solidifying its power in its new Libyan colony, and the end of World War II, when control of the country passed into British hands. Spina's chief subjects in these stories are Italian military officers who idle their time away at their club or exploring the strange lands where they have been posted, always at odds between the jingoistic education they received at home and the lessons they've learned during their time in Libya. These short stories map the transformation of the Libyan city of Benghazi from a sleepy Ottoman backwater in the 1910s to the second capital of an oil-rich kingdom in the 1960s. Employing a cosmopolitan array of characters, ranging from Ottoman functionaries, to Sanussi aristocrats and Italian officers, Spina chronicles Italy's colonial experience from the euphoria of conquest - giving us a front row seat to the rise and subsequent fall of Fascism in the aftermath of World War II - to the country's independence in the 1950s. Spina continues his narrative with the discovery of Libya's vast oil and gas reserves, which triggered the tumultuous changes that led to Muammar Gaddafi's forty-two-year dictatorship.

~~30 de povestiri surprinz?toare Jon McGregor, autor distins cu premiul IMPAC Dublin ?i de dou? ori nominalizat la Man Booker Prize, prezint? un ?ndr?zne? volum de povestiri ?cu ?nceputuri r?u prevestitoare ?i urm?ri care ??i dau fiori” (The New York Times). ?n ?inuturile ml??tinoase din Lincolnshire, un comitat din estul Angliei, pericolul se ascunde ?n detalii. Aici, via?a ??i poate schimba cursul ?n orice clip?, din senin. Accentul cade pe lucrurile m?runte, dar evenimentele minore cap?t? propor?ii colosale ?i schimb? pentru totdeauna existen?a fragil? a personajelor. Naratorii acestor ?nt?mpl?ri delicate ?i uimitoare ne povestesc ceea ce cred ei c? este important, ?n vreme ce adev?rul se refugiaz? tocmai ?n ceea ce r?m?ne nespus. Sunt pove?ti despre ?ncurcatele c?i ale izol?rii ?i descoperirii de sine, despre strania leg?tur? dintre mediul de via?? ?i psihicul uman.

Un adolescent ucide ?ntr-un accident un b?rbat ap?rut de nic?ieri ?i ?ngroap? cadavrul. Doi muncitori poart? o conversa?ie pe malul lacului, ?n timp ce avioanele de lupt? zboar? deasupra lor preg?tindu-se de r?zboi. ?ie nu ?i s-ar putea ?nt?mpla a?a ceva.

Citind romanul lui Cosmin, am intrat automat n rolul unui cenzor paranoid, din ce n ce mai ncruntat, pe msur ce intram n pinea de cuvinte. Mai ncruntat fiindc am nceput s adun ntrebri pentru a pune la punct autorul, pentru a-l convinge c un asemenea text nu trebuie publicat, fiindc este periculos pentru ceteanul de bun credin, este subversiv i cu att mai nociv, cu ct ncearc s se ascund n spatele absurdului. Fiindc nou, cenzorilor, la cursul de cenzur aplicat ni s-a atras atenia de la bun nceput: atenie mare la absurdul cu substrat, la textele aparent schizoide! Acolo se ascunde buba! Iar buba trebuie tratat chirurgical! Cine se ascunde n spatele Cinelui de lemn Cine e Jumtatea de Matrioc Iar antierul e cumva La Canal Adic personajele tale au nnebunit din cauza regimului Nu neleg! Mi biete, ai cam srit calul! Fii atent la mine, textul tu nu poate fi publicat! Sau te apuci de scris normal, pe nelesul omului echilibrat, sau las-te! Auzi la el, CHINUL VENIC I NEOSTOITA SCRNIRE A DINILOR!“ – Micleuanu M. Bi, Pera sta e de belea. N-am mai citit nici un scriitor de sta care s-i frece creierii cum o face el. Dup ce termini cartea te nvri n cerc n mijlocul camerei, ca un tmpit, i nu tii ce-i cu tine, frate, pe bune. Eti praf.“ – Un biat C. Pera pare s fie al treilea frate Strugatski. Umor, suspans, intertextualism, fantasy – acestea sunt ingredientele romanului pe care tocmai l citesc i n care, mai mult ca sigur, i-ai dori i tu s fii personaj, fie i mcar unul secundar. Mie mi-ar plcea s fiu Cinele.“ – V. Leac

Дуже давно, коли людська раса т?льки обживала ворожий св?т, а маги у сво?х вежах займалися лише високою наукою чар?вництва, було створено г?льд?ю в?дьмак?в — рем?сник?в в?д маг??, яких навчали вбивати темн? породження потойб?ччя: в??в ? в?ппер?в, мантикор ? гул?в, грифон?в ? брукс-вамп?риць.

В?д Яруги до Драконячих г?р мандру? один з останн?х в?дьмак?в — ?еральт ?з Р?в??, зустр?чаючи людей та ?стот, як? чимось дуже нагадують персонаж?в в?домих казок, та намагаючись зрозум?ти, чи залишилося у ньому самому хоч щось в?д людини, чи в?н — т?льки додаток до двох сво?х меч?в: звичайного зал?зного та в?дьмачого, з карбованим рук?в’ям та ср?бним клинком, який колись стане для нього мечем призначення… Mag?ja Andzheja Sapkovs'kogo — u jogo vm?nn? z l?rizmom ? sarkazmom stvoriti ujavnij sv?t, kozhen z meshkanc?v jakogo, kozhne m?sce ? kozhna pod?ja nast?l'ki nagadujut' nam sv?t real'nij, suchasnij, shho v?d?rvatisja v?d knizhok nemozhlivo.

Perfection
￥81.50
Maggie Walsh has entered the convent. Her brother thinks she’s wasting her life. Her sister doubts she has what it takes. Her mother is heartbroken; her father is happy. Her boyfriend pledges to wait until she “gets it out of her system.” Abandoning her dreams to be an actress or a writer, Maggie embraces Church teaching that says the convent is the path to perfection. She sets out to prove – to herself and her family – that she can do it. She’ll follow her higher calling, no matter what. It is 1960. Church reform is a few years away, but when it comes, radical changes unfold swiftly. Maggie embraces that change. Her brother, Jack, who tries at every turn to get Maggie to come to her senses, involves Maggie in civil-rights and anti-war activities – forcing her into conflict with her superiors. Maggie must choose: will she keep peace in the convent or follow her conscience? A charismatic fellow teacher, Will, captures Maggie’s time and attention, and her first love, Stan, returns from a Navy tour, determined to win her back. Seeking perfection seemed so simple; now, it is anything but. Maggie must choose – God or a normal life?

Warren Buffett
￥81.40
Warren Buffett is known as the billionaire investment expert of the century and everyone would love to know the secret of his success. In his own words, Buffett is just a regular guy who likes fast food, honest work, and people he can trust. Throw in incredible instincts, a genius for numbers, meticulous research, and an almost sure-fire investment philosophy, and you begin to understand how he's become a legend in his own time. With just a few thousands of dollars from relatives and friends, and by taking calculated risks with small companies and staying with them, he managed, almost single-handedly, to turn Salomon Brothers around. Giants like Disney, American Express, McDonald's, Gillette, and Coca-Cola have all been affected by Buffett's magic touch, and he owns a chunk of all of them. By thirty-one, BUffett had already made himself a millionaire, and he's worked his way steadily toward the top of the Forbes list. Here is a fascinating portrait of Warren Buffett, known for his investigating genius, his sense of humor, and his mean turn of a phrase. It's an amazing story of a man who carved his own path through American business by doing his homework, backing companies he believed in, and growing rich on their success-a story that will show you that opportunity abounds for anyone willing to go for it.
