The Lords The New Creatures An American Prayer Zahvaljujući Michaelu McClureu, prevoditelj ove knjige Vojo Šindolić došao je u posjed neprocjenjivih bibliofilskih primjeraka triju Morrisonovih privatno tiskanih zbirki., objedinjenih pod nazivom Vizije. Morrisonova pjesnička forma oslobođena je gotovo svih tradicionalnih normi, a prije svega ukazujemo na neodređenu, samovoljnu uporabu interpunkcijskih znakova, ali i velikih i malih slova. Često apstraktna, nerijetko obogaćena metaforama, usporedbama i simbolima, tu i tamo očito lišena povezujućeg tkiva, poezija lidera grupe The Doors predstavlja mješavinu smione maštovitosti, zagonetnosti i dvojbenosti koja površnom čitatelju nerado otkriva svoje značenje.

When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game—and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

C. S. Lewis, the great British novelist and Christian apologist, has been credited by many-including the author-for aiding their journey to the Catholic Church. For this reason, it is often perplexing that Lewis himself never became Catholic. In C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church, Joseph Pearce delves into Lewis’s life, writings, and spiritual influences to shed light on the matter. Although C. S. Lewis’s conversion to Christianity was greatly influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien, a Catholic, and although Lewis embraced many distinctively Catholic teachings, such as purgatory and the sacrament of Confession, he never formally entered the Church. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this book digs deep to present the facts of Lewis’s life, to illuminate key points in his writings, and to ask the question: Was C. S. Lewis on the path to Rome?
by Wayne F. Hill (Author), Cynthia J. Ottchen (Author) The sharpest stings ever to snap from the tip of an English-speaking tongue are here at hand, ready to be directed at the knaves, villains, and coxcombs of the reader’s choice.

Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain. Suddenly, at age twelve, Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor’s bizarre family, a few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules, there was no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer, and Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there was always the vintage electroshock therapy machine under the stairs…. Running with Scissors is at turns foul and harrowing, compelling and maniacally funny. But above all, it chronicles an ordinary boy’s survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.

The Tao that can be spoken of is not the real Way, reads a famous line from the Tao-te-ching. But although the Tao cannot be described by words, words can allow us to catch a fleeting glimpse of that mysterious energy of the universe which is the source of life. The readings in this book are a beginner’s entrée into the vast treasury of writings from the sacred Chinese tradition, consisting of original translations of excerpts from the Taoist canon. Brief introductions and notes on the translation accompany the selections from the classics; books of devotional and mystical Taoism; texts of internal alchemy; stories of Taoist immortals, magicians, and sorcerers; ethical tracts; chants and rituals; and teachings on meditation and methods of longevity.
Parabola o zlu iskazana ubedljivim naučnofantastičnim jezikom. Opsednut porivom da dokuči konačni izvor zla koje se povremeno ispoljava u svima nama, glavni junak se otiskuje na fantazmagorično putovanje i pred njim se ruše sve granice prostora i vremena, a ostaje samo mitski ekvivalent stvarnosti u kome ga, u velikom finalu, čeka sudbonosni susret sa Minotaurom.

Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.

Crna kuća je remek-djelo dva najveća pripovjedača našeg vremena. Čini se da je cijela kuća obojena u crno – ne samo daske, već svaki pedalj vanjštine, trijem, oluci, pa čak i prozori. Sve je crno, od temelja do vrha krova. A to ne može biti moguće; u ovom bezazlenom, dobronamjernom kutku svijeta, čak ni najporemećeniji čovjekomrzac od graditelja ne bi kuću pretvorio u njenu vlastitu sijenu… zar ne?
Brežuljak Voteršip je prvi i najuspešniji roman britanskog pisca Ričarda Adamsa. Roman opisuje grupu kunića koji napuštaju svoje naselje i počinju novi život. Kunići u Voteršipu su značajno manje čovekoliki no što je slučaj sa tipičnim fikcijskim životinjama, oni žive u divljini i imaju stvarne fizičke osobine i instinkte, ne koriste tehniku niti se oblače. Ali Adams im je podario jezik (lapinski), običaje, poslovice, poeziju, mitologiju i veru, mrežu društvenih odnosa i niz teških izazova, nimalo ne štedeći dečjeg čitaoca. Roman nosi ime brežuljka na severu Hempšira u Engleskoj, oblasti u kojoj je Adams odrastao. Nastao je iz priča kojima je Adams zabavljao svoje ćerke na brojnim putevima kroz prirodu. Izdavači su knjigu odbili trinaest puta pre nego što ju je 1972. konačno prihvatio Reks Kolings. Brežuljak Voteršip često navode kao klasičan primer zenofikcije. Mnoga izdanja uključuju i dodatak sa lapinskim rečnikom. Ovaj roman tako nije životinjska basna poput Ezopovih već prava herojska fantazija. Moderan klasik dečje književnosti izdat u preko 300 izdanja samo na engleskom i preveden na brojne jezike, Voteršip je najprodavanija knjiga svih vremena izdavača Pingvin buks. U javnom glasanju za 100 najboljih knjiga svih vremena koje je 2003. godine sproveo BBC, Voteršip je bio na 42. mestu. Dobio je Karnegijevu medalju 1972. Po Brežuljku Voteršipu su snimljeni i animirani film Martina Rozena (1978.) i animirana televizijska serija (1999.).
