From the green light across the bay to the billboard with spectacled eyes, F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 American masterpiece The Great Gatsby roars to life in K. Woodman-Maynard's exquisite graphic novel. Painted in lush watercolors, the inventive interpretation emphasizes both the extravagance and mystery of the characters, as well as the fluidity of Nick Carraway's unreliable narration. Excerpts from the original text wend through the illustrations, and imagery and metaphors are taken to literal, and often whimsical. With its timeless critique of class, power, and obsession, The Great Gatsby captures the energy of an era and the enduring resonance of one of the world's most beloved books. Available in softcover and hardcover editions. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(W/A) Matt Phelan In 1937 Kansas, eleven-year-old Jack Clark faces his share of ordinary challenges: local bullies, his father's failed expectations, a little sister with an eye for trouble. But he also has to deal with the effects of the Dust Bowl, including rising tensions in his small town and the spread of a shadowy illness. Certainly a case of 'dust dementia' would explain who (or what) Jack has glimpsed in the Talbot's abandoned barn - a sinister figure with a face like rain. In a land where it never rains, it's hard to trust what you see with your own eyes, and harder still to take heart and be a hero when the time comes. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In a thrilling adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's best-known works, acclaimed artist-adapter Gareth Hinds translates Poe's dark genius into graphic-novel format. In 'The Cask of Amontillado,' a man exacts revenge on a disloyal friend at carnival, luring him into catacombs below the city. In 'The Masque of the Red Death,' a prince shielding himself from plague hosts a doomed party inside his abbey stronghold. A prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, faced with a swinging blade and swarming rats, can't see his tormentors in 'The Pit and the Pendulum,' and in 'The Tell-Tale Heart,' a milky eye and a deafening heartbeat reveal the effects of conscience and creeping madness. Alongside these tales are visual interpretations of three poems - 'The Raven,' 'The Bells,' and Poe's poignant elegy to lost love, 'Annabel Lee.' Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.
