A Collection of Nightmares
￥40.79
Hold your screams and enter a world of seasonal creatures, dreams of bones, and confessions modeled from open eyes and endless insomnia. Christina Sng’s?A Collection of Nightmares?is a poetic feast of sleeplessness and shadows, an exquisite exhibition of fear and things better left unsaid. Here are ramblings at the end of the world and a path that leads to a thousand paper cuts at the hands of a skin carver. There are crawlspace whispers, and fresh sheets gently washed with sacrifice and poison, and if you’re careful in this ghost month, these poems will call upon the succubus to tend to your flesh wounds and scars.?? ?These nightmares are sweeping fantasies that electrocute the senses as much as they dull the ache of loneliness by showing you what’s hiding under your bed, in the back of your closet, and inside your head. Sng’s poems dissect and flower, her autopsies are delicate blooms dressed with blood and syntax. Her words are charcoal and cotton, safe yet dressed in an executioner’s garb.?? ?Dream carefully.?? ?You’ve already made your bed.?? ?The nightmares you have now will not be kind.?? ?And you have no one to blame but yourself.
Not A Number: Patrick McGoohan - a life.
￥40.79
When Patrick McGoohan first starred in “Danger Man” in 1960 and as ‘Number 6’ in cult show “The Prisoner”, industry insiders hailed the arrival of an enigmatic genius and Hollywood beckoned. But who was this man who worked as a chicken farmer and bank clerk before becoming a hugely successful actor simply by chance? In this up-to-date biography Rupert Booth reveals the true character of a man whose off-screen behaviour matched his fiery on-screen persona. Why was he so puritanical, refusing even to kiss a woman for any part he played? Why was he so controlling over his work in “The Prisoner” and other productions? A timely exploration of the man whose declaration ‘I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed or numbered!’ continues to resonate with audiences decades after it was first uttered with such conviction.

St James in the Bush
￥39.14
Promoting positive community was something that just came naturally to Francis Boatwright, a pioneer educationalist who worked for many years in Mozambique. His great passion was helping others reach their potential and was also good at bringing healing to people, so they could know themselves as whole persons capable of contributing to human flourishing. Boatwright moved to Zimbabwe, a country of natural beauty, in the middle of the twentieth century with his wife Monica who had an excellent command of the Nguni languages. As they had no house at first, the Boatwrights camped out. But the bush was very thick. It wasn't long before they started getting visits from wild animals and snakes of all kinds...

Maths Problem Solving Year 2
￥127.43
Maths Problem Solving - Year 2 is the second of six books in the Maths Problem Solving series. The books have been written for teachers to use during the numeracy lesson. They cover the 'solving problem' objectives from the numeracy framework. This first book contains four chapters; Making decisions, Reasoning about numbers or shapes, Problems involving 'real life', money or measures and Organizing and using data. The books are designed in such a way that each section has six stages of questions to be worked through. Every stage is split into three levels, for example 1a, 1b or 1c, based on achievement. Each corresponding question from these levels follow the same line of questioning, so that when the teacher talks about a certain question, the solution process is the same for each level but the complexity of the sum varies.
Ronnie Biggs - The Inside Story
￥73.48
Ronnie Biggs: The Inside Story, written by two of Ronnie Biggs's closest friends and most ardent supporters, delivers exactly what it says on the label, giving a very personal, unique and yet disturbing insight into the mind and subsequent treatment by the judicial and penal systems of the man that became a legendary household name for his role in one of Britain's most notorious crimes, the Great Train Robbery of 1963, and his subsequent life on the run upon his escape from prison in 1965. Raising pointed questions and dispelling many myths, the story makes one wonder who is the greater criminal: the carpenter that played a bit part in an unarmed robbery 45 years ago, who has remained incarcerated since his return to the UK in 2001 despite the fact that he is now a frail, wheelchair-bound 79-year-old grandfather who is no threat to society, is fed via a tube to his stomach and can only communicate by pointing to letters on a laminated sheet; or the justice and prison systems that have allowed him to rot in jail for so long. One thing's for sure, although Ronnie Biggs's body is letting him down after a series of strokes and other illnesses, his legal team, campaign supporters, underworld friends and devoted family certainly aren't, and neither is his own fighting spirit or his humanity in the face of inhumanity. All he wants now is to be able to die a free man rather than suffer "e;a slow crucifixion on the Home Office cross"e;, and once all the facts have been digested one can only be moved to ask: "e;How could anyone deny him that?"e;
Arctalan szerelem

Els emlékeim 1848-ba nyúlnak vissza. A magyar szabadságharc mozgalmaiban kezddnek, amikor négyéves voltam, és természetesen semmit sem értettem az egészbl. Csak a csatazajra emlékszem homályosan, amely Miskolc krül tombolt. Ebben a városban laktak szüleim, amely hol az ellenség kezébe került, hol a magyarok birtokába vándorolt. Apám - hogy is mondjam csak - sóhivatalnok volt, vagyis sóbeszerz, biztosan már nem is tudom. Csak azt tudom, hogy éjjel-nappal rszem sétált le meg fel a házunk eltt, mert apám állami pénztárt kezelt. Idsebb bátyám, aki akkor tízesztends volt, azután is sokat mesélt krülményeinkrl, de világosan sohasem ismertem ki magamat. Arra emlékszem jól, hogy mikor elszr terjedt el a híre az oroszok miskolci bevonulásának, az sszes családapák biztonságba akarták helyezni hozzátartozóikat. Apám is elküldtt minket, anyámat és az sszes gyerekeket, a Mátra hegységbe, amely talán a legszebb vidék egész Magyarországon.” Emlékirat, naplótredékek és a feleségéhez írt levelek egy ktetben. A külnleges sszeállítás elszr jelenik meg így: Munkácsy franciául írta meg emlékeit, naplója a Pesti Napló hasábjain látott napvilágot 1894 májusában, feleségéhez írt levelei pedig az 1870-es évektl valók. E triptichon szerkezet felrajzolja Munkácsy életét, mikzben egy kusza keletkezéstrténetre is rávilágít: a francia nyelv memoár szvegét elszr Munkácsy titkára, Malonyay Dezs juttatta el a Pesti Naplónak, amelyik harminc fejezetben adta kzre az írást, úgy, mintha maga a Mvész írta volna meg a napilapnak. Pár év múlva az eredetit lekzli a Revue de Paris, majd 1897-ben megjelenik az Emlékirat francia kiadása. Aztán a német, végül két évtized múltán, 1921-ben magyarul is. Kzben Malonyay megírja a nagy Munkácsy monográfiáját, amelyben szintén Munkácsy-sorok, naplórészletek szerepelnek. Hol akkor az igazság, tehetjük fel a kérdést A válasz egyszer: A jelen ktetben, amelyik tartalmazza mindkét szvegváltozatot, amit talán nem túlzás valóban Emlékiratnak titulálni.
Az Atlantisz-kór
￥81.34
- Megérdemlem én ezt - fordult hozzá a n. - Miért ne - kérdezett vissza a politikus. - Mi mégsem állunk egy oldalon - válaszolta a n, aki Nyugat-Európa egyik legdemokratikusabb és leggazdagabb államából érkezett, és a legcsekélyebb vonzalmat sem érezte a kommunista tanok és nézetek iránt. Külns feleletet kapott: - Barátok kztt ez nem számít.” Ez a fogalmazási mód még akkor is árulkodó, ha mgtte nem feltétlenül szinteséget kell keresni (bár teljességgel ezt sem lehet kizárni), hanem inkább taktikai szándékot. A politikusnak saját egészsége érdekében óriási szüksége volt az asszonyra. Betegsége évek óta kínozhatta, fájdalmainak megszüntetje a Svájcból érkezett asszony volt. Nem akarta elveszíteni gyógyítóját. Mit tesz az ember, ha egy koreai utazásról kiderül, hogy annak végcélja nem Szul, hanem Phenjan Mit tesz a világ elsszámú nyirokmasszázs-specialistája, ha kiérkezve szak-Koreába megérti, valójában nem azért utaztatták ide, hogy tanítson, hanem azért, hogy egy idsebb, beteg urat” gyógyítson. Mit tesz ebben a vadidegen krnyezetben és az Európától olyan távoli országban egy Svájcból érkezett hlgy, ha a helyi tévét bekapcsolva egyetlen pillanat alatt nyilvánvalóvá válik számára, hogy az azt megelz napokban nem mást kezelt, mint az ázsiai remetekirályság mindenható vezetjét, Kim Ir Szent Pontosan ebbe a helyzetbe került 1987-ben a Lausanne-ban él magyar származású Szilágyi Erzsébet, aki nem egyszeren belülrl látta a világ ell hermetikusan elzárt országot, hanem napi rendszerességgel másfél órán át kezelte a beteg és idsd diktátort. A terapeuta 1987-tl 1992-ig állt Kim Ir Szen alkalmazásában, aki gyógyulását ksznhette a svájci asszonynak, ezzel is cáfolva azt a kzkelet vélekedést, hogy utolsó éveiben elaggott és félreállított vezet lett volna az országalapító. A kezeléseket a tolmács segítségével végigbeszélgették, mély emberi kapcsolat alakult ki beteg és gyógyítója kztt. Szilágyi Erzsébet arról mesél ebben a knyvben: milyen embernek ismerte meg a mai napig rejtélyek vezte Kim Ir Szent. A svájci terapeuta olyan színfalak mgtt járt, és kapott olykor-olykor bepillantást az ott folyó eseményekbe, ahová rajta kívül egyetlen idegent sem engedtek be. Páratlan és egyedi, amit tud és látott. Phenjani élményeirl szóló beszámolója igazi világszenzáció - a mának is szóló tanulságokkal.

A címül használt okirat évtizedekig titkosnak min?sült, olyan fontos államtitkokat tartalmazott, mint a személy neve, születési dátuma és a seregben izzadságszagúan elért magas rendfokozat. Ma már lehet, hogy meg sem találnám egy-két félórás keresés után sem. Az utolsó komoly lehet?ség ez az id?pont arra, hogy hajdani keserves, a Magyar Néphadsereg katonájaként 1957 és 1959 k?z?tt szerzett élményeimet felelevenítsem, k?zkinccsé tegyem.Keserves volt, de mégis. A férfivé válás, k?z?sségi magatartás, némely esetben a higiéniai szabályok elsajátítása volt az ellentétel. Fiatalok voltunk, emlékeinket magunkba zártuk, most azonban kikívánkoznak.
