Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hamilton, Tim / Bradbury, Ray, PUBLISHER: Hill & Wang, ""Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes."" For Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are forbidden. In , Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in "Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451," the artist Tim Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur with Bradbury's full cooperation in this authorized adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that uniquely captures Montag's awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature. Including an original foreword by Ray Bradbury and fully depicting the brilliance and force of his canonic and beloved masterwork, "Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451" is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature.

Silent Screams
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dario, Jose, PUBLISHER: Outskirts Press, From the psychologically scar filled battle fields of alcohol fueled dysfunction, to the Transforming Power of facilitator apprenticeship for the Alternatives to Violence Project; his 35-year journey has been a struggle between enslavement and empowerment. He has no collegiate degrees nor official training, but inspired by the paths he has crossed and people encountered, he found the courage to scream. It's Still Here You cut me with your words and bathed in the blood of my wounds with bestial glee, you sought to taint my soul with hate and drown me in the sea of your hostility... You laughed aloud at the revelation of dreams and tried to define me through prejudice tinted lenses, you encouraged my enslavement to self-imposed shame and promoted my exile to a state of insignificance... With your diseased mind providing the ink you left your masterpiece on the canvas of my heart, so thoroughly was I covered by your curtain of uncertainty hat for years, I willingly embraced the dark... You were my tour guide through the pearly gates of pain and you gained strength by tasting my tears, you sought with every breath to extinguish my flame But... It's still here...

Old Filth
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gardam, Jane, PUBLISHER: Europa Editions, "Jane Gardam's beautiful, vivid and defiantly funny novel is a must.""The Times" "Gardam's superb new novel is surely her masterpiece... one of the most moving fictions I have read in years... This is the rare novel that drives its readers forward while persistently waylaying and detaining by the sheer beauty and inventiveness of it style.""The Guardian" "The Whitbread winner scores again with a compelling novel based, in part, on the early life of Rudyard Kipling.""Time Out" Sir Edward Feathers has progressed from struggling young barrister to wealthy expatriate lawyer to distinguished retired judge, living out his last days in comfortable seclusion in Dorset. The engrossing and moving account of his life, from birth in colonial Malaya, to Wales, where he is sent as a "Raj orphan," to Oxford, his career and marriage, parallels much of the 20th century's torrid and twisted history. "Old Filth" was nominated for the Orange Prize. Jane Gardam lives with her husband and three children in England. She has won Katherine Mansfield Award, the PEN Macmillan Silver Pen Award, the Whitbread Novel Award (twice), and has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize. She was recently awarded the Heywood Hill Literary Prize in recognition of a distinguished literary career.

Literary Memoirs
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lastarria, Jose Victorino / Lastarria, Jos? Victorino / Nunn, Frederick M., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Novelist, scholar, journalist, statesman, and leading member of Chile's "Generation of "--an intellectual movement so named for the founding of the National University--Jose Victorino Lastarria () lived his life at the forefront of nineteenth-century Chilean and Spanish American culture, literature, and politics. Recuerdos Literarios (or Literary Memoirs) is his masterpiece, encompassing the candid memories of a tireless activist, both the creative and critical sensibilities of an influential Latin American early modernist, and an eyewitness account of the development of Chilean literature and historiography. An ardent, eloquent participant in every defining artistic and ideological debate in Chile during the formative mid-s, Lastarria recorded his epoch as closely as he did his own origins, education, ambitions, and career. Sometimes reminiscent of Montaigne's essays, Eca de Quieroz's journalism, or Barbusse's didactic convictions, Literary Memoirs is an engrossing account of Chile's newly ordained nationhood. This addition to Oxford's prestigious Library of Latin America series is more than a retelling of things past; it is an informed yet informal testament to the idea of chilenidad (or "Chileanness") and a detailed portrait of one of Chile's cultural architects. For this new edition of Literary Memoirs, Frederick M. Nunn's introduction presents an informative historical background and R. Kelly Washbourne's translation carefully preserves Lastarria's form and content.

Passionate Brushstrokes: The Best of Watercolor
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rubin Wolf, Rachel, PUBLISHER: North Light Books, Featured artist Jerry Stitt contemplates that "A painting is good not because it looks like something, but because it feels like something." The difference is passion - the kind of energy, excitement and pure joy that pulses through every page of this book. A brilliant collection of the best watercolors being created today, "Splash 10" explores "passion" through the work and words of 100 top contemporary painters. With each modern-day masterpiece, insightful firsthand commentary taps into the psyche of the artists to explore where their passion comes from, and where it leads them. These artists find the passion to paint in any number of places - a handful of peppermints, a rescued dog named Tugboat, visits to places where "even the walls have personality," and spectacular moments created by the warm late-afternoon sun partnering with rich, cool cast shadows. Some of them find passion in their materials (like rice paper) or in the very act of putting paint to paper, whether it be broad, wet strokes of pure color applied with big brushes and arm-swinging applications, or meditative, economical strokes. This edition of "Splash" is dedicated to discovering not only how today's artists create great watercolors, but what motivates them to be creative, work in this amazing medium, and portray the subjects they love.
Living in Space: From Science Fiction to the International
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Caprara, Giovanni, PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, Living in space is no longer just a dream. In a few short years, international cooperation between the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, Canada and Brazil has resulted in man's first successful attempt to live in space. And after many projects and some experimental space stations, like the Russian Salyut and Mir or the American Skylab, we are almost ready to launch the Great International Base, a stable space station geared towards the future. As large as a football field, this engineering masterpiece is scheduled for completion in . It will host six people, and astronauts of every nationality are expected to do extensive traveling to and from the station in orbit. Many scientific studies will be conducted on board and even more eagerly anticipated are the preparations for the great journey to Mars that will begin soon after. "Living in Space" tells the story of the orbital pioneers of the past and the fascinating future that now lies open before us. It narrates this century old story that combines science fiction stories, scientific and technological breakthroughs, political intrigue and imaginative ideas where fantasy, imagination and adventure are basic ingredients for every past and future endeavor. With the aide of numerous pictures, some published for the first time, we have the full story of the successes and disasters, of how courageous astronauts lived and, above all, what future living conditions will be like in the near future.
Barely Breathing
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mahogany, J. / Michele, Micah, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, A blank page in front of a writer possesses the chance to create a masterpiece. The truth that it may or may not exist is what makes creating it so unique. While inspiration comes and goes at any moment for a writer, the same is understood for the intensity in the rush of passion from a novice love. This fiery passion, if left unreciprocated, will diminish until only its embers are remaining of its existence. Unknown to some, this is all a part of the revolution of life. Idealistically, life revolves around four seasons: summer, autumn, winter and spring. Our reaction to these inevitable changes is what defines who we are. There are those instances in life when it can be so remarkable or so excruciating that it leaves us barely breathing. There isn't always clarity in knowing when those moments will arise, but by identifying what is most important to our hearts will help us to escape from the tragedy of watching our most passionate dreams diminish in vain. We must believe all things in life are possible. In the back of our minds we are all searching for the same thing: the opportunity to love and be loved. Expressing that, for some, is a difficult thing. The question remaining: is it possible to be inspired by an experience that isn't yours? Universality tells us yes, and Barely Breathing is and example of such an instance.

Philida
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brink, Andre, PUBLISHER: Vintage, An unforgettable story of a woman determined to find her freedom -- set in South Africa in s, as slavery was about to be abolished. The masterpiece from the twice Booker-shortlisted author. "This is what it means to be a slave: that everything is decided for you from out there. You just got to listen and do as they tell you. You don't say no. You don't ask questions. You just do what they tell you. But far in the back of your head you think: One day there must come a time when you got to say for yourself: This and that I shall do, this and that I shall not." Philida is the mother of four children by Francois Brink, the son of her master. The year is and the Cape is rife with rumours about the liberation of the slaves. Philida decides to risk her whole life by lodging a complaint against Francois, who has reneged on his promise to set her free. His father has ordered him to marry a white woman from a prominent Cape Town family, and Philida will be sold on to owners in the harsh country up north. Unwilling to accept this fate, Philida continues to test the limits of her freedom, and with the Muslim slave Labyn she sets off on a journey across the great wilderness on the banks of the Gariep River, to the far north of Cape Town. Philida is an unforgettable story of one woman's determination to survive and be free.

Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Flanagan, Richard, PUBLISHER: Grove/Atlantic, Published in hardcover to outstanding acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, and winner of the prestigious Commonwealth Writers Prize, Gould's Book of Fish is a marvelously imagined epic of nineteenth-century Australia -- a world of convicts and colonists, thieves and catamites, whose bloody history is recorded in a very unusual taxonomy of fish. Widely hailed as a masterpiece and a work of genius, it stands out as one of the best novels of recent years. Billy Gould was a forger and thief sentenced to life imprisonment in a penal colony in Van Diemen's Land -- now Tasmania. After six months he escaped and boarded a whaler for the Americas, but before long his adventures landed him back in prison. The prison doctor Lempriere utilizes Gould's painting talents to create an illustrated taxonomy of the country's exotic sea creatures, which Lempriere madly believes will assure his place in history and the Royal Society. Lost and re-created, destroyed and hidden, Gould's book finally resurfaces in the present day littered with scrawls recording his unutterably strange life -- part freewheeling picaresque, part tragicomedy -- and that of his country, a penal colony, settlement, and magical space populated by generals, visionaries, and madmen. Gould's Book of Fish is a tour de force that questions the reliability of history and science, and the substance of artistic creation. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called it "a huge, phantasmagorical work that combines magical realism, Joycean language, and Melvillian intonations to examine the legacy of colonialism through the story of a nineteenth-century forger.... It] turns out to be as inventive and visionary in its reimagination ofhistory as Toni] Morrison's masterwork, Beloved."
