Muhammad Asad - The ​Road to Mecca
Within ​the first few paragraphs of this extraordinary and beautifully written autobiography, the reader recognizes s/he is immersed in a timeless spiritual classic. The grandson of a Central European Orthodox rabbi, Asad yearned for a life without the "carefully contained, artificial defenses which security-minded people love to build up around them," where he could find for himself "an approach to the spiritual order of things." He found his first "quiet gladness" in Taoism, only regretting this "ivory tower" could not be lived in. Against his father's wishes, he left the pursuit of a doctorate in Vienna to take up journalism. His fascinating travels took him to Jerusalem, Arabia, and India, and finally into service at the United Nations. In 1926, Asad embraced Islam. His account of his years in Arabia, his desert adventures, friendship with King Saud, and marriage there is truly gripping. "Trenchant with adventure magnificently described, and a commentary upon the inner meaning of Arab and Moslem life, helpful to all who would achieve a more accurate understanding of the Arabs and their lands."--Christian Science Monitor

Neil Gaiman - Signal ​to Noise
Illustrated ​by Dave McKean 'Signal to Noise does not entertain. It scratches, it provokes, it frightens. It tells you things you don't want to know but then twists you inside out by saying, look harder and see the poignance, the beauty of light dancing on life's edge, truth that is as simple and direct as death' Jonathan Carroll, from his introduction. Originally commissioned and serialised in The Face, the comic strip Signal to Noise was then expanded and revised for its launch on the VG Graphics list in 1992 with an introduction by Jonathan Caroll. It tells the story of a film director, somewhere in London, dying of cancer. His life's crowning achievement, his greatest film, would have told the story of a European village as the last hour of AD 999 approached - the midnight which the villagers were convinced would bring with it Armageddon. Now that story will never be told. But he still pointlessly works it out in his head, making a film that no one will ever see. No one but the reader.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Sherlock ​Holmes történetei 2. / Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 2.
Nyilván ​senkinek sem kell bemutatni Sir Arthur Conan Doyle hőseit: a zseniális nyomozót, és hű krónikását, a kissé fantáziaszegény orvost. Amiért ez a kötet mégis újdonsággal szolgál, az az, hogy lapjain Sherlock Holmes és Dr. Watson kalandjait két nyelven is élvezhetik az olvasók. Igazi különlegesség, hogy az angol eredetit a fordító "kipreparálta", vagyis kiemelte és lábjegyzetekkel, illetve magyarázatokkal látta el a ritkábban előforduló angol szavakat, kifejezéseket. Ennek köszönhetően haszonnal forgathatják a könyvet az angolul tanulók, a nyelvvizsgára készülők, továbbá a meglévő tudásukat karbantartani kívánók. És nem mellékesen: bepillantást nyerhetnek a műfordítás olykor gyötrelmes, ám mindig szép és izgalmas folyamatába is.

Jimmy Cornell - World ​Cruising Handbook
World ​Cruising Handbook can best be described as a nautical tourist guide. Here you will find all you need to know about the most popular cruising destinations around the world, from Australia to Antigua, Turkey to Tahiti. Or, if you prefer sailing off the beaten track, read about lonely Tristan de Cunha in the South Atlantic or the remote islands of the North Pacific Ocean. If on the other hand you're just dreaming of travelling, the colourful introduction to each country will give you a taste of what it's like to help you make up your mind where to go, while the more practical sections will tell you what to expect on arrival. Realising how much time sailors spend clearing in and out of port and how bureaucracy and restrictions can mar an otherwise pleasurable cruise, Jimmy Cornell gives this information special attention. World Cruising Handbook is the companion volume to World Cruising Routes - essential references for anyone planning a voyage anywhere in the world. Note: World Cruising Destinations replaces Cornell’s 2001 World Cruising Handbook.

Richard Morgan - The ​Cold Commands
With ​The Steel Remains, award-winning science fiction writer Richard K. Morgan turned his talents to sword and sorcery. The result: a genre-busting masterwork hailed as a milestone in contemporary epic fantasy. Now Morgan continues the riveting saga of Ringil Eskiath - Gil, for short - a peerless warrior whose love for other men has made him an outcast and pariah. Only a select few have earned the right to call Gil friend. One is Egar, the Dragonbane, a fierce Majak fighter who comes to respect a heart as savage and loyal as his own. Another is Archeth, the last remaining daughter of an otherworldly race called the Kiriath, who once used their advanced technology to save the world from the dark magic of the Aldrain - only to depart for reasons as mysterious as their arrival. Yet even Egar and Archeth have learned to fear the doom that clings to their friend like a grim shadow... or the curse of a bitter god. Now one of the Kiriath’s uncanny machine intelligences has fallen from orbit - with a message that humanity faces a grave new danger (or, rather, an ancient one): a creature called the Illwrack Changeling, a boy raised to manhood in the ghostly between-world realm of the Grey Places, home to the Aldrain. A human raised as one of them - and, some say, the lover of one of their greatest warriors - until, in a time lost to legend, he was vanquished. Wrapped in sorcerous slumber, hidden away on an island that drifts between this world and the Grey Places, the Illwrack Changeling is stirring. And when he wakes, the Aldrain will rally to him and return in force - this time without the Kiriath to stop them. An expedition is outfitted for the long and arduous sea journey to find the lost island of the Illwrack Changeling. Aboard are Gil, Egar, and Archeth: each fleeing from ghosts of the past, each seeking redemption in whatever lies ahead. But redemption doesn’t come cheap these days. Nor, for that matter, does survival. Not even for Ringil Eskiath. Or anyone - god or mortal - who would seek to use him as a pawn.
