The Water-Lily and Other Fairy Tales
Andrew Lang
¥40.79
Once upon a time, in a large forest, there lived an old woman and three maidens. They were all three beautiful, but the youngest was the fairest. Their hut was quite hidden by trees, and none saw their beauty but the sun by day, and the moon by night, and the eyes of the stars.

Sean Patrick k?nyve hatalmas sikert aratott a tengerentúlon. Ha elolvasod, tizenegy bámulatos elme életébe pillanthatsz be. Megtudhatod, mi hajtotta ?ket, és hogyan alakította az életüket egy-egy jellemz? tulajdonság. Látni fogod t?bbek k?z?tt, hogyan indult útjára Walt Disney stúdiója, miként vált egy karddal játszó kisfiúból a hódító Nagy Sándor, vagy hogyan lett Nikola Tesla a megannyi nehézség ellenére az elektromosság atyja. A kiválóság nem adottság, hanem egy út, amire Te is ráléphetsz. Mondj ?IGEN!”-t a saját kalandodra, és ébreszd fel a benned rejl? géniuszt!
Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode
Serhiy Zhadan
¥90.03
In 1993, tragic turbulence takes over Ukraine in the post-communist spin-off. As if in somnambulism, Soviet war veterans and upstart businessmen listen to an American preacher of whose type there were plenty at the time in the post-Soviet territory. In Kharkiv, the young communist headquarters is now an advertising agency, and a youth radio station brings Western music, with Depeche Mode in the lead, into homes of ordinary people. In the middle of this craze three friends, an anti-Semitic Jew Dogg Pavlov, an unfortunate entrepreneur Vasia the Communist and the narrator Zhadan, nineteen years of age and unemployed, seek to find their old pal Sasha Carburetor to tell him that his step-father shot himself dead. Characters confront elements of their reality, and, tainted with traumatic survival fever, embark on a sad, dramatic and a bit grotesque adventure.

Ant goes off and makes a new friend, leaving Billy feeling angry and abandoned. Billy’s pride will not let him apologise to Ant until things get out of hand.

The Early Bird: A Business Man's Love Story
George Randolph Chester
¥40.79
The youngish-looking man who so vigorously swung off the train at Restview, wore a pair of intensely dark blue eyes which immediately photographed everything within their range of vision—flat green country, shaded farm-houses, encircling wooded hills and all—weighed it and sorted it and filed it away for future reference; and his clothes clung on him with almost that enviable fit found only in advertisements. Immediately he threw his luggage into the tonneau of the dingy automobile drawn up at the side of the lonely platform, and promptly climbed in after it. Spurred into purely mechanical action by this silent decisiveness, the driver, a grizzled graduate from a hay wagon, and a born grump, as promptly and as silently started his machine. The crisp and perfect start, however, was given check by a peremptory voice from the platform.
