Foot Notes
￥57.14
In a tale of sand, songs, survival and untimely erections, it takes a trek along the Australian coastline for Benjamin Allmon to find himself, and the true key to happiness. It is 2006. After more than a decade trying to make it in the music industry, singer-songwriter Ben is getting desperate. As his former bandmates settle into sensible careers he gives it one last shot and records his debut album. The only problem – how to promote it?? In homage to the Deep South bluesmen who walked and played their way to Chicago, he decides to trek 1000 kilometres of Australian coastline. Kissing his girlfriend goodbye, he sets off with a guitar, a sleeping bag and a heroic miscalculation of what he’s getting into.? Beset by bushfires, dingoes, and septuagenarian nudists, fame seems to forever be over the horizon. Penniless and lost, the tour soon becomes a matter of survival instead of climbing the charts. Through his encounters with the people you only meet when walking slow and sleeping rough, Ben realises that what he wanted at the outset has changed enormously.

An Inland Voyage
￥8.09
Classic travelogue/memoir. According to Wikipedia: "Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson ( 1850 - 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov, and J. M. Barrie. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their definition of modernism. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the canon."

A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib and Japan
￥40.79
Gulliver sets sail again and, after an attack by pirates, ends up in Laputa, where a floating island inhabited by theoreticians and academics oppresses the land below, called Balnibarbi. The scientific research undertaken in Laputa and in Balnibarbi seems totally inane and impractical, and its residents too appear wholly out of touch with reality. Taking a short side trip to Glubbdubdrib, Gulliver is able to witness the conjuring up of figures from history, such as Julius Caesar and other military leaders, whom he finds much less impressive than in books. After visiting the Luggnaggians and the Struldbrugs, the latter of which are senile immortals who prove that age does not bring wisdom, he is able to sail to Japan and from there back to England.

He then watches a play depicting nobleman Petruchio's marriage with an outspoken, intelligent and bad-tempered shrew named Katherine.

The content has become the subject of considerable controversy.
Andrei Tarkovsky:A Life on the Cross
￥90.03
Andrei Tarkovsky died in a Paris hospital in 1986, aged just 54. An internationally acclaimed icon of the film industry, the legacy Tarkovsky left for his fans included Andrei Rublev, Stalker, Nostalgia and a host of other brilliant works. In the Soviet Union, however, Tarkovsky was a persona non grata. Longing to be accepted in his homeland, Tarkovsky distanced himself from all forms of political and social engagement, yet endured one fiasco after another in his relations with the Soviet regime. The Soviet authorities regarded the law-abiding, ideologically moderate Tarkovsky as an outsider and a nuisance, due to his impenetrable personal nature. The documentary novel A Life on the Cross provides a unique insight into the life of Andrey Tarkovsky, the infamous film director and a man whose life was by no means free of unedifying behaviour and errors of judgement. Lyudmila Boyadzhieva sets out to reveal his innate talent, and explain why the cost of such talent can sometimes be life itself.

The Road Home. Filip-Lucian Iorga In dialogue with Prince Nicholas of Romania
￥81.67
“Prima edi?ie din Jurnalul lui Lev Tolstoi a ap?rut la Editura Univers, ?n dou? volume (?n anii 1975 ?i 1976 – vol. I: 1847-1895, vol. II: 1896-1910), incluse ?n colec?ia ?Coresponden??, memorii, jurnale“. Traducerea a realizat-o Janina Iano?i; prefa??, tabelul cronologic, notele ?i comentariile – Ion Iano?i. Respectiva edi?ie a reprezentat o selec?ie din textul integral al edi?iei academice ruse?ti Polnoe sobranie socinenii (iubileinoe izdanie), Opere complete (edi?ie jubiliar?). Din volumele 1-90 (Moscova-Leningrad, 1928-1958), am folosit cele treisprezece volume de jurnal, 46-58 (ap?rute ?ntre 1934 ?i 1958). Orientativ, am consultat ?i o edi?ie de Opere ?n dou?zeci de volume (din 1965) – volumele 19 ?i 20. ?n alegerea textelor am urm?rit devenirea ?i dominantele cople?itoarei personalit??i a marelui scriitor, ?in?nd seama ?i de interesele publicului cititor rom?nesc. Edi?ia a II-a i s-a datorat Editurii Elit (tip?rit?, f?r? specificarea datei, ?n 2000). Ea a urmat, cu unele renun??ri ?i c?teva complet?ri, varianta ini?ial?, dar ?i pe baza confrunt?rii textelor cu cele re?inute ?ntr-o selec?ie ruseasc? ulterioar?, ?n dou?zeci ?i dou? de volume, Sobranie socinenii v dvadtati dvux tomah (Moscova, 1985), Opere ?n dou?zeci ?i dou? de volume, volumele 21 ?i 22. Am constatat cu acel prilej coinciden?a ?ntre majoritatea textelor re?inute ini?ial de noi ?i de alc?tuitorul respectivei edi?ii ruse?ti, dar ?i unele deosebiri: sunt acolo prezente fie pasaje ?teoretice“ mai ample, fie altele cu adres? recognoscibil? doar de c?tre cititorii autohtoni familiariza?i cu mediul specific vremii – ?n schimb, sunt omise at?t detalii biografice considerate a fi prea intime (mai ales erotice, ?n genere legate de starea corporal?, de s?n?tate ori boal?), c?t ?i multe accente sociale considerate de editorul rus de atunci ca indezirabile prin ascutisul lor critic (cu deosebire, cele la adresa revolu?iei, marxismului, socialismului). ?n ceea ce ne prive?te, le-am p?strat ?i pe unele, ?i pe celelalte, ?n schimb nu am dorit – cu rare excep?ii – s? ?nc?rcam selec?ia noastr? cu expozeuri lungite, care oricum variaza idei cunoscute. Amintita edi?ie rus? ne-a servit, mai degrab?, pentru suplimentarea acribiei de care am ?ncercat s? d?m dovada ?nc? din anii ?aptezeci ai secolului trecut. Am urmat aceea?i cale ?i la revederea ?i ?mbun?ta?irea textului pentru prezenta edi?ie, a III-a, finalizat?, dup? al?i cinci ani, prin bun?voin?a Editurii Ideea European?.“ (Ion Iano?i)
Asediu
￥38.62
Un fascinant atelier de crea?ie unde sunt convocate c?r?ile cele mai importante ap?rute ?n perioada postdecembrist?, meritul acestei monografii fiind acela de a aborda un domeniu marginalizat ?n ultimii ani ?i tratat pe nedrept ca o cenu??reas?. Rostul acestui studiu monografic este acela de a informa lectorul asupra poeziei majore scrise ?n Rom?nia, redeschiz?ndu-i apetitul pentru Poezie. Cartea se adreseaz? elevilor, studen?ilor, precum ?i publicului larg de cititori.
E.M. Cioran. Desp?r?irea continu? a autorului cel r?u
￥54.10
Cartea pe care joac? de la ?nceput D. ?epeneag este aceea a (neo)avangardei. A fost firesc ?i miraculos s? o ?nceap? la Bucure?ti, ?ntr-un moment de straniu, nea?teptat ?i viclean experiment politic ?liberal“-na?ional-comunist, c?nd literatura rom?n? ren??tea, ?n felurite chipuri, din cenu?? realist-socialist?. La Paris, ?n ianuarie 1971, descoperea o lume artistic? diferit?, dar cu dificult??i diferite ?i deloc ?ncur?j?toare. Exemplele lui Tzara, Isou, Ionesco, inimitabile, r?m?n, la o analiz? lucida a ?anselor, doar consolatoare. Nu-i u?or s? convingi o lume pentru care ?nnoirile at?t de frecvente au fost confiscate de tradi?ie. Parisul, Fran?a, limba lui Jarry s-au dezobi?nuit temeinic s? mai a?tepte scandaluri estetice de import. Produc?ia artistic? intern? e suficient?, chiar excedentar?. Sunt timpuri f?r? glorie, grele, pentru avangardi?tii parizieni. (Marian Victor Buciu)
