Dead End

Life regularly brings us so much of unexpected, and the most of it is unpleasant, and sometimes really terrifying, taking away all our strength and breaking us. And then, when we appear in an extremely desperate situation and suppose that it just could not been worse, we have take much harder trials and tests. Only when having lost everything, we start understanding and being aware of the real values of life, of what is significant and what only lasts for a certain time period.

Baba-Jagaa

Elas kord mees, kellel oli armas tütar. Kurjale kasuemale aga mehe eelmisest abielust sündinud tütar ei meeldinud. Ta kiusas vaest last paljude kodutöödega ja soovis salaja temast lahti saada.

A History Maker

Alasdair Gray

A History Maker

A tale of border warfare, military and erotic, set in the twenty-third century, where the women rule the kingdom and the men play war games. This is the fictional memoir of Wat Dryhope – edited, annotated and commented upon. History has come to an end, war is regulated as if it's all a game. But Wat, the History Maker himself, does not play entirely by the rules, and when a woman, Delilah Puddock, joins the fray, this 'utopian' history is further enlivened. Alasdair Gray...

The Ends Of Our Tethers: Thirteen Sorry Stories

Since 1981, when Alasdair Gray's first novel Lanark was published by Canongate, his characters have aged as fast as their author. The Ends of Our Tethers shows the high jinks of many folk in the last stages of physical, moral and social decrepitude – a sure tonic for the young. The first work of fiction in over six years by one of Britain's most original and brilliant writers, this wonderful (and very funny) new collection reaffirms Gray's position as a master of the short...

Hieroglyphics And Other Stories

Anne Donovan

Hieroglyphics And Other Stories

A beautiful collection – charming, witty and touching – these stories give voice to a variety of different characters: from the little girl who wants to look 'subtle' for her father's funeral, a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter and an old lady who becomes a star through 'zimmerobics'. Often writing in a vibrant Glaswegian vernacular, Donovan deftly gives her characters authenticity with a searing power, aided and abetted by tender subtlety.

Borobudur

Jennifer Mackenzie

Borobudur

At the time of the construction of Borobudur in the ninth century, Buddhism had been established in Java for several centuries. Mackenzie’s Borobudur, an exquisite long poem, tells the story of its legendary architect, Gunavarman, and of Indonesia’s mystical monument with cultural understanding, sensitivity and great feeling. Like Gunavarman by the poem’s end, Mackenzie becomes ‘a dot on the horizon’ leaving us stilled in silence. ‘Like turning a wonderfully textured and beautifully glazed...

India Vik

In her interlinked short stories Liz Gallois captures both Indians and Westerners in new and unexpected guises, their relationships teetering on the edge, or caught at odds by the allure and the chaos of the subcontinent. Delicately spiced with humour this is an intriguing work of fiction, by an exciting new talent, where sexuality, loss and yearning are always simmering just beneath the surface. India Vik has been described as ‘a stylish debut’ –The Australian and ‘an enjoyable collection’–...

Elas kord väike tüdruk, kellel olid ilusad, heledad, kullakarva juuksed. Teda hüüti Kuldkiharaks. Ühel päeval läks ta metsa jalutama.

Väikesed vanamehed

2006. aasta romaanivõistluse võitja Tiina Laanem kirjutab oma esimeses romaanis kõigist neist meestest ja naistest ja lastest, kes iga päev meie keskel oma elu elavad. Seab küsimuse alla sõpruse tegelikkuse ja sisu. Elu tegelikkuse ja sisu. Susi sest kõigest aru saagu. Kõige rohkem räägitakse ses raamatus ikka meestest, kelle varjus joonistuvad välja naised. Ja kusagil kaugel, õige tasa ja õige vaikselt, on ka lapsed. Loeb Hannes Kaljujärv.
