￥56.98
Facerea unei case necesit? voin?a ?i pricepere, cu at?t mai mult facerea unei lumi. Acum, cred ca Muzulie Ceatpat avea geniu. ?mprejur?rile ?ns? i-au fost neprielnice. Amintirile mele legate de proiectul lui se pierd ?n tenebrele Templului s?pat, mai ?nainte de to?i vecii, ?n st?nca hercinic?, de natur?, de oamenii primitivi, ori de c?tre sfin?ii atra?i prin lucarna surprinz?toare a cupolei, ?n str?dania lor de a comunica cu o lume mai presus de fire. Templul Celui Foarte Mare, Bai Ulgun, cum se pomene?te el din str?vechime, este o caverna uria?? ascuns? vederii ?n inima gorganului ?nalt acoperit de zmeuri? ?i tufe de alun printre grohoti?uri. Calota lui, deschisa lumii de un trepan uria?, permite accesul ?n interior pe traseul ?erpuitor al unei sc?ri?e s?pat? ?n t?mpla de piatra p?n? la arhitrava care ?ncercuie?te naosul. De aici se ajunge la platforma principala mult mai u?or, pe scara solida de stejar, ce coboar? ?n fr?nturi de cate ?apte trepte, ?n jurul unei coloane de sus?inere, p?n? la locul unde se petrec toate: jertfe, impreca?ii, rug?ciuni. De jur ?mprejur, delimit?nd parca secven?ial spa?iul ?i timpul, pe suprafa?? concav? a platformei dou?sprezece ?an?uri sub?iri pornesc ?n raze, ca spi?ele unei ro?i ce se unesc ?ntr-un un punct virtual din mijlocul chepengului p?trat aflat ?n opozi?ie cu lucarna rotund? din acoperi?, ?i care prelungit sub podeaua naosului, duce ?ntr-un h?u b?nuit, unind astfel cerul cu p?m?ntul.

Confessions of a Male Nurse (The Confessions Series)
￥56.90
From the people who brought you the bestselling Confessions of a Gp. From stampeding nudes to inebriated teenagers, young nurse Michael Alexander never really knew what he was getting himself into. But now, sixteen years since he was first launched into his nursing career - as the only man in a gynaecology ward - he's pretty much dealt with everything: body parts that come off in his hands; teenagers with phantom pregnancies; doctors unable to tell the difference between their left and right; violent drunks; singing relatives; sexism. . .and a whole lot of nudity. Confessions of a Male Nurse is a touching, shocking and frequently hilarious account of one man's life in nursing.
Rise of The Super Furry Animals
￥56.90
Rise of the Super Furry Animals tells the story of the greatest psychedelic pop band of our time. Welsh speakers with a lust for global communication, the Super Furry Animals shot to fame on Creation Records and found that, thanks to the record sales of label-mates Oasis, they suddenly had a vast budget to play with. Wasting no time, they bought an army tank and equipped it with a techno sound-system, caused national security alerts with 60-foot inflatable monsters, went into the Colombian jungle with armed Guerrilla fighters, and drew up plans to convert an aircraft carrier into a nightclub. Yet SFA's crazed adventures only tell half the story. By mixing up electronic beats, surf rock, Japanese culture and more, the band recorded some of the most acclaimed albums of the millennium, all the while documenting the mobile phone revolution in their uniquely surreal way. Written with the band’s own participation and housed in a jacket designed by Pete Fowler, the man behind some of SFA’s most iconic album covers, this is the remarkable story of their ascent to fame.

Chinese Blackbird
￥56.82
Critical Acclaim for Sherry Quan Lee's Chinese Blackbird "Quan Lee eloquently expresses how painful and confusing it can be to embrace the many complex identities that one body can contain. With evocative imagery and words that cut straight to the heart, Quan Lee details her lifelong struggles with both the vagaries and concreteness of race, class, gender and sexual identity. Her guilt and shame are palpable. But so too are her emotional and intellectual triumphs. Like a favorite sad song when we have been dumped by the love of our lives, this volume will be oddly comforting to anyone who has ever been overcome by that sorrow which seems insurmountable." --Eden Torres, Assistant Professor Women's Studies, Chicano Studies, University of Minnesota "It's been a long time since I've been treated to a voice so full of honesty about one's struggle to come to terms with her identity. Through elegant poetry, full of exquisite imagery and detail, Quan Lee takes the reader on her personal, transformative journey in which she explores how race, class, gender and sexual identity inform who she is. Along the way, she encounters rocks and boulders that would have stopped many of us. Instead, she turns them over and examines the creatures hiding in the darkness underneath, leaving no stone on her path unturned. Quan Lee is a courageous woman. She is one of my sheroes." --Carolyn Holbrook, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, Founder and past Artistic/Executive Director of SASE: The Write Place "In Chinese Blackbird, Sherry Quan Lee renders stories of her complex cultural heritage with the lyrical touch of a poet coming into self-possession. Through the generative power of language, Lee creates an inspirational and a multifarious self. This self blows breath unto the page and into the reader, who may have felt quiescent or invisible, often feeling forced to choose among various enriching worlds, until she experiences the truth that only good literature can unveil about the joys and struggles of defining oneself on one's terms." --Pamela R. Fletcher, Associate Professor of English Co-Director of Critical Studies in Race and Ethnicity, College of St. Catherine Learn more about the author at www.SherryQuanLee.com Book #2 in the Reflections of History Series from Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com Modern History Press is an imprint of Loving Healing Press
How to Write a Suicide Note:Serial Essays that Saved a Woman's Life
￥56.82
How to Write a Suicide Note examines the life of a Chinese/Black woman who grew up passing for white, who grew up poor, who loves women but has always married white men. Writing has saved her life. It has allowed her to name the historical trauma--the racist, sexist, classist experiences that have kept her from being fully alive, that have screamed at her loudly and consistently that she was no good, and would never be any good-and that no one could love her. Writing has given her the creative power to name the experiences that dictated who she was, even before she was born, and write notes to them, suicide notes. Sherry Quan Lee believes writing saves lives; writing has saved her life.Acclaim for How to Write a Suicide Note "How to Write a Suicide Note is a haunting portrait of the daughter of an African mother and a Chinese father. Sherry dares to be who she isn't supposed to be, feel what she isn't supposed to feel, and destroys racial and gender myths as she integrates her bi-racial identity into all that she is. Through her raw honesty and vulnerability, Sherry captures a range of emotions most people are afraid to confront, or even share. Her work is a gift to the mental health community." --Beth Kyong Lo, M.A., Clinical Psychologist "Sherry Quan Lee offers us, in How to Write a Suicide Note, a deep breathing meditation on how love is under continuous revision. And like all the best Blues singers, Quan Lee voices the lowdown, dirty paces that living puts us through, but without regret or surrender." Wesley Brown, author of Darktown Strutters and Tragic Magic "I love the female aspects, the sex, and the strong voice Sherry Quan Lee uses to share her private life in How To Write A Suicide Note. I love the wit, the tongue-in-cheek, the trippiness of it all. I love the metaphors, especially the lover and suicide ones. I love the free-associations, the 'raving, ravenous, relentless' back and forth. Quan Lee breaks the rules and finds her genius. How to Write a Suicide Note is a passionate, risk-taking, outrageous, life-affirming book and love letter." Sharon Doubiago, author of Body and Soul, Hard Country; and other works Learn more about the author at www.SherryQuanLee.com Book #2 in the Reflections of History Series from Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com Modern History Press is an imprint of Loving Healing Press
The Life of Mary Jemison:White Woman of the Genesee
￥56.82
Taken captive at the early age of thirteen by Seneca Indians, Mary Jemison was trained in the wilderness to the ordinary duties of the Indian female. Embedded with the sentiments and lifestyle of the Seneca's she essentially transformed into a member of the tribe. Mary Jemison's story is a remarkable one not because of her extraordinary lifestyle, but because this was the lifestyle that, in the end, she chose for herself. When prisoners were being set free from the bondage of the Indians after the French and Indian War, Mrs. Jemison chose to remain with her Indian friends and accept her Seneca upbringing. Known for her uncommon generosity, as Westward Expansion began to flourish, those who settled near the Genesee River soon became acquainted with The White Woman.
Men of Achievement Inventors
￥56.82
In Men of Achievement Phillip Hubert writes about inventors Benjamin Franklin, Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney, Elias Howe, Samuel Morse, Charles Goodyear, Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as many others. He reviews their inventions and also examines the inventor: their origins, hopes, aims, principles, disappointments, trials and triumphs ,and their daily life and personal character. With over forty-five illustrations, Men of Achievement discusses the value of their work – the invention of steam power, electricity, the telegraph, the telephone, phonograph, the camera, and Goodyear’s vulcanized rubber. With the patent laws of the time it also highlights how these men contributed thousands of millions of dollars to the nation’s wealth and, in some cases, received comparatively little in return.
How Dare We! Write:A Multicultural Creative Writing Discourse
￥56.82
How Dare We! Write: a multicultural creative writing discourse offers a much needed corrective to the usual dry and uninspired creative writing pedagogy. The collection asks us to consider questions, such as "What does it mean to work through resistance from supposed mentors, to face rejection from publishers and classmates, and to stand against traditions that silence you?" and "How can writers and teachers even begin to make diversity matter in meaningful ways on the page, in the classroom, and on our bookshelves?" How Dare We! Write is an inspiring collection of intellectually rigorous lyric essays and innovative writing exercises; it opens up a path for inquiry, reflection, understanding, and creativity that is ultimately healing. The testimonies provide a hard won context for their innovative paired writing experiments that are, by their very nature, generative. --Cherise A. Pollard, PhD, Professor of English, West Chester University of Pennsylvania So-called "creative writing" classes are highly politicized spaces, but no one says so; to acknowledge this obvious fact would be to up-end the aesthetics, cultural politics (ideology) and economics on which most educational institutions are founded How Dare We! Write, a brilliant interventive anthology of essays, breaks this silence. --Maria Damon, Pratt Institute of Art; co-editor of Poetry and Cultural Studies: A Reader How Dare We! Write a collection of brave voices calling out to writers of color everywhere: no matter how lonely, you are not alone; you are one in a sea of change, swimming against the currents. --Kao Kalia Yang, author of The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir, and The Song Poet, a 2017 Minnesota Book Award winner How Dare We! Write is a much needed collection of essays from writers of color that reminds us that our stories need to be told, from addressing academic gatekeepers, embracing our identities, the effects of the oppressor's tongue on our psyche and to the personal narratives that help us understand who we are. --Rodrigo Sanchez-Chavarria, writer, spoken word poet/performer and contributing author to A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota Learn more at http://blog.SherryQuanLee.com From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

A fordító huszon?t amerikai k?lt? ?sszesen százegy versét válogatta kétnyelv? antológiába. Olyan k?lt?k verseit, akik kortársaink a második ezredforduló tájékán. Igyekezett színes képet kapni – és mutatni – a magyar irodalomkedvel?knek híres k?lt?k változatos egyéniségér?l, témájuk kavalkádjáról.A versfordítás ?r?k dilemmája: mennyire legyen szolgai, mennyire legyen szabad. Jelen k?tet fordítójának célja az arany k?zépút megtartása volt, ellenállni a parttalan átk?ltés csábításának. A maga valójában mutatni meg az amerikai k?ltészet tartalmi és formai sokszín?ségét. Három-négy vers egy-egy k?lt?t?l, szellemi kóstoló, néhány felvillantott gondolat, kép, hangulat – távolról sem életm?vek, vagy korszakos k?tetek bemutatásának igényével.A fordító azzal az ambícióval hízeleg magának, hogy férfi mivoltának dacára képes hitelesen tolmácsolni a szebbik nem érzéseit is.A versek kedvel?it szólítja meg ez az ?sszeállítás, egyben hasznos – és remélhet?leg élvezetes – kirándulásra vezetheti azokat, akik az angol nyelvvel ismerkednek, vagy foglalkoznak. ?Amerikás magyarjaink” is haszonnal vehetik kézbe. Nekik és gyermekeiknek a magyar szókincset segíthet ?rizni és gyarapítani. The translator has selected, for inclusion in this anthology, a total of one hundred and one poems written by twenty five American poets at about the turn of the last century. These tr anslations are intended to convey the color and personality of each poet for Hungarian readers, while still respecting and preserving the essential style of each poet — and while also avoiding the temptation to rewrite.American poetry has so much diversity of form and content that a translator has to attempt, for each individual poet, to include representative works that express unique tastes, thoughts, images and humors, in acceptance of the fact that comprehensive treatment of each poet is not reasonably within reach in this volume.A sincere effort has been made to faithfully present the work of a number of American women, at least as well as a mere man can do.Throughout, the chosen works all reflect an overriding purpose of fur-thering a love of poetry while also serving as an effective tool for learning English. Hungarians abroad, and their families, it is hoped, will also find that this anthology will help them to increase and broaden the vocabulary of their native language.

Mr Nastase: The Autobiography
￥56.11
The amazing life story of the enfant terrible of tennis in the 1970s and 80s – winner of two Grand Slam titles, three Grand Slam doubles titles and twice a Wimbledon finalist. It is not an overstatement to say that Ilie Nastase was in part responsible for the explosion of interest in tennis in the seventies. Thanks to his success, his lifestyle, his sex appeal and the controversy that continually surrounded him, Nastase's name was recognisable far beyond the confines of tennis. Yet, he also had a dark side and he regularly got himself into trouble with umpires and spectators alike. His court-side tantrums and manic questioning of line calls could spiral out of control and, all too often, he found himself fined and disqualified – and making the next day's front pages. Bjorn Borg had great difficulty adjusting to life after retirement and lost vast amounts of money, while the late Vitas Gerulaitis had a major cocaine problem. Ilie reveals how he helped both of them at a time when their problems were taking a huge toll on their personal lives. He also provides opinions and anecdotes on a host of other characters, including John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe, Henri Leconte, Yannick Noah, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. As a result of his celebrity status, Nastase moved amongst the beautiful people. His book recalls some of his more memorable encounters and experiences, including dancing the night away in New York's Studio 54 and Castel in Paris with the likes of Bianca Jagger and Claudia Cardinale, and bedding some of the world's most desirable women (an Italian countess and a former Miss UK are among his conquests). For the many sports fans who followed tennis and followed his career, his stories behind the varied headline-grabbing outbursts will prove fascinating and irresistible.

￥56.11
A stunning and poignant account of an extraordinary teacher's determination from the author of the #1 Sunday Times bestsellers The Tiger's Child and One Child. Jadie never spoke, never laughed, never cried. She spent every waking hour locked in her own private world of shadows. But nothing in Torey Hayden's experience had prepared her for the nightmare Jadie revealed to her when finally persuaded to break her self-imposed silence. It was a story too painful, too horrific for Hayden's professional colleagues to acknowledge. But Torey Hayden could not close her ears… or her heart. A little girl was trapped in a living hell of unspeakable memories. And it would take every ounce of courage, compassion, and love that one remarkable teacher possessed to rid the "Ghost Girl" of the malevolent spirits that haunted her.

￥56.11
Cats once were proud, shrewd, independent animals who lived life on our own terms. But then came a life of domestication, comfort and free health care. And now cats are in danger of losing our sense of adventure completely. Fluffy and Bonkers say it's time to fight back and regain control of your rightful place as ruler of the roost once again. Cats once ruled the alleys, galleys and the valleys. Rodents trembled in fear. Birds steered clear. Cats took chances. Some lived fast and died young… We were on the prowl. But then came a life of domestication that was simply too good to pass up. Humans gave us everything we desired, from ear massages and shelter from the rain to cuddle sessions and free health care. In return, they were permitted to bask in the majesty of our presence. It seemed like a fair trade. Or was it? Has domesticity really been good for cats? What has become of our sense of adventure, our sense of independence? Did you know that because of boredom and indolence, the average feline today uses up a mere 2-3 of its 9 lives? Fluffy and Bonkers think its time to get out of the comfortable back seat of life and regain control of your destiny. They created this manual to teach discerning cats how to wake up a human when they want to get fed, how to stare like a pro, how to carry yourself in a catfight and - most importantly - how to get away with practically anything. With The Devious Book for Cats you can return to the noble creature you once were and assume your rightful place as the ruler of your household once again.
