Tom Fletcher - SPACE BAND
translated by Victor Morozov
From bestselling
author and musician Tom Fletcher is
a story about a band.
George, Neila and Bash are the worst
band on Earth. George wants them to
be brilliant – but Neila has stage
fright, and Bash is too distracted
by his obsession with stars, aliens
and faraway planets. But what they
lack in talent and confidence, they
make up for in heart.
They’re determined to blow their
friends away at their school Battle
of the Bands contest. But the moment
they start to play…they’re beamed up
into space!!!
Terry Pratchett - SMALL GODS
translated by Victor Morozov
Lost in the
chill deeps of space between the
galaxies, it sails on forever, a
flat, circular world carried on
the back of a giant turtle—
Discworld —a land where the
unexpected can be expected.
Where the strangest things
happen to the nicest people.
Like Brutha, a simple lad who
only wants to tend his melon
patch. Until one day he hears
the voice of a god calling his
name. A small god, to be sure.
But bossy as Hell.
Religion is a competitive
business in the Discworld.
Everyone has their own opinion
and their own gods, of every
shape and size—all fighting for
faith, followers, and a place at
the top. So when the great god
Om accidentally manifests
himself as a lowly tortoise,
stripped of all divine power,
it’s clear he’s become less
important than he realized.
In such instances, you need an
acolyte, and fast. Enter Brutha,
the Chosen One—or at least the
only One available. He wants
peace, justice and love—but
that’s hard to achieve in a
world where religion means
power, and corruption reigns
supreme.

HARRY POTTER and the Order of the Phoenix
(The
Illustrated
Edition)
The fifth book
in the
beloved,
bestselling
Harry Potter
series, now
illustrated in
brilliant full
color in a
deluxe,
clothbound
collector's
edition.
There is a
door at the
end of a
silent
corridor. And
it's haunting
Harry Potter's
dreams. Why
else would he
be waking in
the middle of
the night,
screaming in
terror? It's
not just the
upcoming
O.W.L. exams;
a new teacher
with a
personality
like poisoned
honey; a
venomous,
disgruntled
house-elf; or
even the
growing threat
of
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Now Harry
Potter is
faced with the
unreliability
of the very
government of
the magical
world and the
impotence of
the
authorities at
Hogwarts.
Despite this
(or perhaps
because of
it), he finds
depth and
strength in
his friends,
beyond what
even he knew;
boundless
loyalty; and
unbearable
sacrifice.
This stunning
illustrated
edition brings
together the
talents of
award-winning
artists Jim
Kay and Neil
Packer in a
visual feast,
featuring
iconic scenes
and much loved
characters --
Tonks, Luna
Lovegood, and
many more --
as the Order
of the Phoenix
keeps watch
over Harry
Potter's fifth
year at
Hogwarts.
Special
features of
this deluxe
collector's
edition
include a
generously
oversized
clothbound
book in a
slipcase with
intricate gold
foil stamping;
high quality
paper with
gilt edges;
two ribbon
bookmarks; a
special art
print; and a
bespoke
packing carton
-- an
impressive
gift for Harry
Potter fans
and book
lovers of all
ages.
Terry Pratchett - MOVING PICTURES
translated by Victor Morozov 
People
might say that
reality is a
quality that
things possess
in the same
way that they
possess
weight. Sadly
alchemists
never really
held with such
a quaint
notion. They
think that
they can
change
reality, shape
it to their
own purpose.
Imagine then
the damage
that could be
wrought if
they get their
hands on the
ultimate
alchemy: The
invention of
motion
pictures, the
greatest
making
illusions. It
may be a
triumph of
universe-shaking
proportions.
It's either
that or
they're about
to unlock the
dark terrible
secret of the
Holy Wood
hills -- by
mistake.
Discworld's
pesky
alchemists are
up to their
old tricks
again. This
time, they've
discovered how
to get gold
from silver --
the silver
screen that
is. Hearing
the siren call
of Holy Wood
is one Victor
Tugelbend, a
would-be
wizard turned
extra. He
can't sing, he
can't dance,
but he can
handle a sword
(sort of), and
now he wants
to be a star.
So does Theda
Withel, an
ambitious
ingénue from a
little town
(where else?)
you've
probably never
heard of.
But the click
click of
moving
pictures isn't
just stirring
up dreams
inside
Discworld.
Holy Wood's
magic is
drifting out
into the
boundaries of
the universes,
where raw
realities, the
could-have-beens,
the might-bes,
the
never-weres,
the wild ideas
are beginning
to ferment
into a really
stinky brew.
It's up to
Victor and
Gaspode the
Wonder Dog (a
star if ever
one was born!)
to rein in the
chaos and
bring order
back to a
starstruck
Discworld. And
they're
definitely not
ready for
their
close-up!

Terry Pratchett - THIEF OF TIME
translated by Victor Morozov 
Everybody
wants more
time, which is
why on
Discworld its
management is
entrusted to
the experts:
the venerable
Monks of
History, who
store it and
pump it from
where it's
wasted, like
underwater
(after all,
how much time
does a codfish
really need?)
to places like
cities, where
harried
citizens are
forever
lamenting, "Oh
where does the
time go?"
And while
everyone
always talks
about slowing
down, one
clever soul is
about to stop.
Stop time,
that is. For
good. Going
against
everything
known (and the
nine tenths of
everything
that remains
unknown), a
young
horologist has
been
commissioned
to build the
world's first
truly accurate
clock. It
falls to
History Monk
Lu-Tze and his
apprentice
Lobsang Ludd
to find the
timepiece and
stop it before
it starts. For
if the Perfect
Clock starts
ticking, Time
-- as we know
it -- will
stop. And then
the trouble
will really
begin.
A superb
send-up of
science and
philosophy,
religion and
death (after
all, isn't
that where
time stops,
for most of
us, anyway?),
and a host of
other timely
topics, Thief
of Time
provides the
perfect
opportunity to
kick back and
unwind. So
don't put off
till tomorrow
what you could
do today. Read
Thief of Time.
Right this
minute.
Because
tomorrow may
not come.
(You'll have
to read the
book to find
out why. This
is a Terry
Pratchett
novel, after
all.)

Aldous Huxley - BRAVE NEW WORLD
translated by Victor Morozov
Aldous Huxley is rightly considered a prophetic genius and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th Century, and Brave New World is his masterpiece. From the author of The Doors of Perception, Island, and countless other works of fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, and poetry, comes this powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. Brave New World remains absolutely relevant to this day as both a cautionary dystopian tale in the vein of the George Orwell classic 1984, and as thought-provoking, thoroughly satisfying entertainment.
Roald Dahl - FANTASTIC MR. FOX
translated by Victor Morozov
Someone's been stealing from the three meanest farmers around, and they know the identity of the thief—it's Fantastic Mr. Fox! Working alone they could never catch him; but now fat Boggis, squat Bunce, and skinny Bean have joined forces, and they have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don't know is that they're not dealing with just any fox—Mr. Fox would rather die than surrender. Only the most fantastic plan can save him now.

FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD
(The
Original
Screenplay)
At the end of
Fantastic
Beasts and
Where to Find
Them, the
powerful Dark
wizard Gellert
Grindelwald
was captured
in New York
with the help
of Newt
Scamander.
But, making
good on his
threat,
Grindelwald
escapes
custody and
sets about
gathering
followers,
most
unsuspecting
of his true
agenda: to
raise
pure-blood
wizards up to
rule over all
non-magical
beings.
In an effort
to thwart
Grindelwald’s
plans, Albus
Dumbledore
enlists Newt,
his former
Hogwarts
student, who
agrees to help
once again,
unaware of the
dangers that
lie ahead.
Lines are
drawn as love
and loyalty
are tested,
even among the
truest friends
and family, in
an
increasingly
divided
wizarding
world.
This second
original
screenplay
from J.K.
Rowling,
illustrated
with stunning
line art from
MinaLima,
expands on
earlier events
that helped
shape the
wizarding
world, with
some
surprising
nods to the
Harry Potter
stories that
will delight
fans of both
the books and
films.
Orest
Subtelny -
PLAST
Ukrainian
Scouting
A Unique Story
In this book, the renowned historian Orest Subtelny, who wrote Ukraine: A History, describes to us how, in 1911, a small group of teachers, whose people lived under foreign rule, at the crossroads of empires, took Baden Powell's idea, adapted it to their circumstances and formed a scouting organization for the betterment of Ukrainian youth and to provide hope to the Ukrainian nation. The organization was buffeted by history — repression, war, emigration, dispersement throughout the world — and finally found renewal in a free Ukraine. It was an amazing journey, truly a unique story.

Yann Martel - THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF PORTUGAL
translated by Victor Morozov
With
this highly
anticipated
new novel, the
author of the
bestselling
Life of Pi
returns to the
storytelling
power and
luminous
wisdom of his
master novel.
The High
Mountains of
Portugal is a
suspenseful,
mesmerizing
story of a
great quest
for meaning,
told in three
intersecting
narratives
touching the
lives of three
different
people and
their
families, and
taking us on
an
extraordinary
journey
through the
last century.
We begin in
the early
1900s, when
Tomás
discovers an
ancient
journal and
sets out from
Lisbon in one
of the very
first motor
cars in
Portugal in
search of the
strange
treasure the
journal
describes.
Thirty-five
years later, a
pathologist
devoted to the
novels of
Agatha
Christie,
whose wife has
possibly been
murdered,
finds himself
drawn into the
consequences
of Tomás's
quest. Fifty
years later,
Senator Peter
Tovy of
Ottawa,
grieving the
death of his
own beloved
wife, rescues
a chimpanzee
from an

Ernest Hemingway - FAREWELL TO ARMS
translated by Victor Morozov 
The
best American
novel to
emerge from
World War I, A
Farewell to
Arms is the
unforgettable
story of an
American
ambulance
driver on the
Italian front
and his
passion for a
beautiful
English nurse.
Hemingway’s
frank
portrayal of
the love
between
Lieutenant
Henry and
Catherine
Barkley,
caught in the
inexorable
sweep of war,
glows with an
intensity
unrivaled in
modern
literature,
while his
description of
the German
attack on
Caporetto—of
lines of fired
men marching
in the rain,
hungry, weary,
and
demoralized—is
one of the
greatest
moments in
literary
history. A
story of love
and pain, of
loyalty and
desertion, A
Farewell to
Arms, written
when he was
thirty years
old,
represents a
new
romanticism
for Hemingway.

William Peter Blatty - THE EXORCIST
translated by Victor Morozov
Originally
published in
1971, The
Exorcist
remains one of
the most
controversial
novels ever
written and
went on to
become a
literary
phenomenon: It
spent
fifty-seven
weeks on the
New York Times
bestseller
list,
seventeen
consecutively
at number one.
Inspired by a
true story of
a child’s
demonic
possession in
the 1940s,
William Peter
Blatty created
an iconic
novel that
focuses on
Regan, the
eleven-year-old
daughter of a
movie actress
residing in
Washington,
D.C. A small
group of
overwhelmed
yet determined
individuals
must rescue
Regan from her
unspeakable
fate, and the
drama that
ensues is
gripping and
unfailingly
terrifying.
Two years
after its
publication,
The Exorcist
was, of
course, turned
into a wildly
popular motion
picture,
garnering ten
Academy Award
nominations.
On opening day
of the film,
lines of the
novel’s fans
stretched
around city
blocks. In
Chicago,
frustrated
moviegoers
used a
battering ram
to gain entry
through the
double side
doors of a
theater. In
Kansas City,
police used
tear gas to
disperse an
impatient
crowd who
tried to force
their way into
a cinema. The
three major
television
networks
carried
footage of
these events;
CBS’s Walter
Cronkite
devoted almost
ten minutes to
the story. The
Exorcist was,
and is, more
than just a
novel and a
film: it is a
true landmark.
Purposefully
raw and
profane, The
Exorcist still
has the
extraordinary
ability to
disturb
readers and
cause them to
forget that it
is “just a
story.” It
remains an
unforgettable
reading
experience and
will continue
to shock and
frighten a new
generation of
readers.

Julia Donaldson - IF NOT FOR YOU
translated by Victor Morozov
Iconic singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and illustrator David Walker team up to present this charming, cozy, and touching interpretation of “If Not for You.”
If not
for you…
I’d be sad and
blue.
If not for
you…
I just
wouldn’t have
a clue.
If not for
you…
What would I
do?
In this inventive interpretation of Bob Dylan’s 1970 song “If Not for You,” illustrator David Walker beautifully imagines Dylan’s lyrics as portraying the bottomless love between a parent and a child—and the magical experiences they might share together.
Julia Donaldson - FOREVER YOUNG
translated by Victor Morozov
Since it first appeared on the 1974 album Planet Waves, "Forever Young" has been one of Bob Dylan's most beloved songs. Now award-winning artist Paul Rogers gives us a new interpretation of the lyrics. With images inspired by classic Dylan songs and pieces of his life, this is a bold and touching tribute to an anthem whose message will always stay forever young.

The Sun Also

spare but
powerful
writing style.
A poignant
look at the
disillusionment

the post-World

generation,
the novel
introduces two
of Hemingway's

the flamboyant
Brett and the
hapless Jake
as they
journey from
the wild
nightlife of
1920s Paris to
the brutal
bullfighting
rings of Spain
with a motley
group of
expatriates.
It is an age
of moral
bankruptcy,
spiritual
dissolution,
unrealized
love, and
vanishing
illusions.
First
published in
1926, The Sun

The Dursleys
were so mean
and hideous
that summer
that all Harry
Potter wanted
was to get
back to the
Hogwarts
School for
Witchcraft and
Wizardry. But
just as he's
packing his
bags, Harry
receives a
warning from a
strange,
impish
creature named
Dobby who says
that if Harry
Potter returns
to Hogwarts,
disaster will
strike.
And strike it
does. For in
Harry's second
year at
Hogwarts,
fresh torments
and horrors
arise,
including an
outrageously
stuck-up new
professor,
Gilderoy
Lockhart, a
spirit named
Moaning Myrtle
who haunts the
girls'
bathroom, and
the unwanted
attentions of
Ron Weasley's
younger
sister, Ginny.
But each of
these seem
minor
annoyances
when the real
trouble
begins, and
someone -- or
something --
starts turning
Hogwarts
students to
stone. Could
it be Draco
Malfoy, a more
poisonous
rival than
ever? Could it
possibly be
Hagrid, whose
mysterious
past is
finally told?
Or could it be
the one
everyone at
Hogwarts most
suspects...

Brave New

Sally Green - HALF LOST
translated by Victor Morozov
The
Alliance is
losing. Their
most critical
weapon,
seventeen-year-old
witch Nathan
Brynn, has
killed
fifty-two
people, and
yet he’s no
closer to
ending the
tyrannical,
abusive rule
of the Council
of White
Witches in
England. Nor
is Nathan any
closer to his
personal goal:
getting
revenge on
Annalise, the
girl he once
loved, before
she committed
an unthinkable
crime. There
is an amulet,
protected by
the extremely
powerful witch
Ledger, which
could be the
tool Nathan
needs to save
himself and
the Alliance.
But the amulet
is not so
easily
acquired. And
lately Nathan
has started to
suffer from
visions: a
vision of a
golden moment
when he dies,
and of an
endless line
of Hunters,
impossible to
overcome.
Gabriel, his
closest
companion,
encourages
Nathan to run
away with him,
to start a
peaceful life
together. But
even Gabriel’s
love may not
be enough to
save Nathan
from this war,
or from the
person he has
become.
Set in
modern-day
Europe, the
final book in
the Half Bad
trilogy is
more than a
story about
witches. It’s
a
heart-poundingly
visceral look
at survival
and
exploitation,
the nature of
good and evil,
and the risks
we take for
love.

Roald Dahl - WITCHES
translated by Victor Morozov
This Roald Dahl classic tells the scary, funny and imaginative tale of a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with some real-life witches! "In fairy tales witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs. That is why they are so hard to catch." Witches, as our hero learns, hate children. With the help of a friend and his somewhat-magical grandmother, our hero tries to expose the witches before they dispose of him.

"You will have a powerful Gift, but it’s how you use it that will show you to be good or bad."
In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, seventeen-year-old Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world's most powerful and violent witch. Nathan is hunted from all sides: nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. Now, Nathan has come into his own unique magical Gift, and he's on the run--but the Hunters are close behind, and they will stop at nothing until they have captured Nathan and destroyed his father.

In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world’s most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan’s only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers—before it’s too late. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is tracked, when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves?
Half Bad is an international sensation and the start of a brilliant trilogy: a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive.

The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

When
Barry
Fairbrother
dies in his
early forties,
the town of
Pagford is
left in shock.
Pagford is,
seemingly, an
English idyll,
with a cobbled
market square
and an ancient
abbey, but
what lies
behind the
pretty facade
is a town at
war.
Rich at war
with poor,
teenagers at
war with their
parents, wives
at war with
their
husbands,
teachers at
war with their
pupils...
Pagford is not
what it first
seems.
And the empty
seat left by
Barry on the
Parish Council
soon becomes
the catalyst
for the
biggest war
the town has
yet seen. Who
will triumph
in an election
fraught with
passion,
duplicity and
unexpected
revelations?
A big novel
about a small
town, The
Casula Vacancy
is
J.K.Rowling's
first novel
for adults. It
is the work of
a storyteller

Why is the Professor coming to visit him now? What is it that cannot wait until Harry returns to Hogwarts in a few weeks' time?

The buying and selling of human flesh for the worldwide sex industry is organized crime's fastest growing business, with up to two million people globally - mostly women and children - being trafficked into the sex trade every year. It's also one of the world's most invisible human rights issues - most of us have no idea that these enslaved women even exist.
In The Natashas, Victor Malarek details the tragic lives of individual women and girls ensnared in the most recent wave of this brutal trade. One of Canada's leading investigative journalists, Malarek unearthes evidence of training centers in Serbia where teenage girls from Ukraine, Moldova and Romania are viciously indoctrinated into the world of prostitution...

translated

(Lviv: Klasyka, 2002)
ISBN
966-7493-36-9
A community devoured by greed, cowardice and fear. A Man persecuted by the ghosts of his painful past. A young woman searching for happiness. In one eventual week, each of them will face questions of life, death and power, and each of them will have to choose their own path. Will they choose good or evil?
The remote village of Viscos is the setting for this extraordinary struggle. A stranger arrives, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He cames searching for the answer to a question that torments him: are human beings, in essence, good or evil? In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives.
In this
stunning new
novel, Paulo
Coelho
dramatizes the
struggle
within every
soul between
light and
darkness, and
its relevance
to our
everyday
struggles: to
dare to follow
our dreams and
to master the
fear that
prevents us
from truly
living. "The
Devil and Miss
Prym" is a
story charged
with emotion,
in which the
integrity of
being human
meets a
terrifying
test.

Veronika seems to have everything she could wish for. She goes to popular night spots, she meets and dates attractive young men and yet she's not happy. Something is lacking in her life. That's why, in the morning of 11th of November 1997, Veronika decides to die. After taking an overdose, Veronika is told she has only a few days to live.
This story follows Veronika through these intense days as to her surprise, she finds herself drawn into the enclosed world of the local hospital she is staying in. In this heightened state she discovers things she has never really allowed herself to feel before: hatred, fear, curiosity, love - even sexual awakening. Her experiences lead her gradually to realise that every second of her existence is a choice between living and dying.
Paulo
Coelho's new
book is about
those who do
not fit into
patterns
considered
normal by
society. It is
about madness
and the need
to find an
alternative
way of living
for people who
frequently
have to face
other people's
prejudices
because they
think in a
different way.

Benedict Anderson -
IMAGINED

Reflections
on the Origin
and Spread of
Nationalism
translated
by Victor
Morozov
from English
into Ukrainian
(Kyiv:
Krytyka, 2001)
ISBN
966-7679-16-0
Perhaps
the most read
book about
nationalism.
Anderson
adheres to the
modernization
argument
explaining the
origin of
nations. In
other words,
nations
developed as a
necessary
component of
industrial
society,
though neither
"economic
interest,
Liberalism,
nor
Enlightenment
could, or did,
create in
themselves the
kind, or
shape, or
imagined
community".
Breaking from
Gellner (the
Nations and
Nationalism
appeared in
the same year
(1983) as the
first edition
of Imagined
Communities),
Anderson
places greater
emphasis on
the
constructed
nature of
culture and on
the role of
print
capitalism to
the
development of
nations. On
the cultural
front,
Anderson
argues that
pre-national
culture was
religious
culture.
Nations
replaced this
religious
culture with
their own
uniquely
constructed
national
cultures.
Anderson
places print
capitalism at
the very heart
of his theory,
claiming that
it was print
capitalism
which allowed
for the
development of
these new
national
cultures and
created the
specific
formations
which the new
nations would
eventually
take.
