Hailed by the ” New York Times Book Review” as `one of the most brilliant illustrators at work today`, Tomi Ungerer has been making beautiful, anarchic & unique books for children for more than 40 years. He has been described by the ” Guardian” as `the direct natural descendant of the Brothers Grimm & Hans Christian Andersen` &, like all the best fairy tales, his classic story of ” The Three Robbers” is by turns scary, charming & surprising. The book tells the story of three fierce black-clad robbers who terrorize the countryside, scaring everyone they meet. One robber stops carriage horses with his pepper spray, the second destroys the wheels of the carriage with his axe, & the third robs the passengers by holding them up with his blunderbuss. One day the robbers stop a carriage only to find a small orphan girl called Tiffany inside. On her way to live with a strange aunt, Tiffany is delighted to meet the robbers, who take her back to their cave instead of their usual haul of money, gold & jewels. The next day, Tiffany sees the treasures the robbers have amassed & asks what they plan to do with their riches. The men are baffled, as they had never thought about spending their money. So they decide to buy a castle & welcome all the lost, unhappy & abandoned children they can find. The robbers dress them in tall hats & long capes, just like the ones they wear themselves, only in red instead of black. Years later, when they are grown up, the children build a village near the castle, full of people wearing red hats & red capes. They also build three tall towers, in honour of the three robbers. First published in 1962, ” The Three Robbers” has been translated into 16 languages, but has been unavailable in English for years. Now, this beautifully woven sequence of entertaining text & colourful eye-catching illustrations is back to delight children aged 4-8 & above. ...

Three bodies lie at the bottom of a swimming pool in a gated country estate near Buenos Aires. It`s Thursday night at the magnificent Scaglia house. Behind the locked gates, shielded from the crime, poverty & filth of the people on the streets, the Scaglias & their friends hide lives of infidelity, alcoholism, & abusive marriage. Claudia Pineiro`s novel eerily foreshadowed a criminal case that generated a scandal in the Argentine media. But this is more than a story about crime. The suspense is a by-product of Pineiro`s hand at crafting a psychological portrait of a professional class that lives beyond its means & leads secret lives of deadly stress & despair. It takes place during the post 9/11 economic melt-down in Argentina but it`s a universal story that will resonate among credit-crunched readers of today. ...

One of the greatest works created by any culture & overwhelmingly the most influential of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished translations, but strangely all of these have always been partial abridgements. Now the entire text has not only been made available in English but in an entirely new translation. A comprehensive guide to living & dying, The Tibetan Book of the Dead contains exquisitely written guidance & practices related to transforming our experience in daily life, on the processes of dying & the after-death state, & on how to help those who are dying. As originally intended this is as much a work for the living, as it is for those who wish to think beyond a mere conventional lifetime to a vastly greater & grander cycle.” Extraordinary … this work will be a source of inspiration & support to many” His Holiness the Dalai Lama ...
