Ilija Bakić - MUDRIJAŠI 

Mudrijaši je kaubojac u svemiru u slici i reči. U ovom naučnofantastičnom romanu pod snažnim uticajem vesterna Bezimeni sa zabačenim skafanderom i obaveznom cigarom u uglu usana, po svetu sa dva sunca juri Propovednika. Igrajući se formom romana, Ilija Bakić kombinuje crtež i reči u novi pripovedni oblik kojim na humorističan način ispituje naše poimanje svet(ov)a, percepciju, pa i mogućnost dolaženja do bilo kakvih zaključaka dok se sve oko nas polako, ali neumoljivo menja. To je odlično ilustrovano već samim početkom romana:

Jeste vi malo odlepili?
Ne... Možda...
Dobro.

Adrijan Sarajlija - OGLEDALO ZA VAMPIRA

 

Profesor Eduardо Lasner zarad osvete onima koje smatra manje vrednim i nedostojnim odmeće se u zagrljaj mračnih sila i bića. Neodoljivi niz događaja koji je svojom odlukom pokrenuo, ipak, nadilazi njegove želje i snage. Staza iskušenja vodi od nauke do magije, od urbanih centara do periferija, od civilizacije do duboke prašume, od nadmoći i trijumfa do poraza i poniženja. Smeh se meša sa suzama, vera sa spoznajom sopstvene ništavosti, iskrenost se guši u cinizmu. Roman Adrijana Sarajlije neobuzdana je, visprena i vrcava pripovest koja potvrđuje njegovo zapaženo mesto među mlađim srpskim piscima fantastike zavređeno zbirkom 'Manufaktura G

HITCHCOCK BIRA ZA VAS,broj 8,Vjesnik Zagreb 1978, krimi price i pripovetke, grupa autora.

At the height of Hitchcock's success, he was also asked to introduce a set of books with his name attached. The series was a collection of short stories by popular short-story writers, primarily focused on suspense and thrillers. These titles included Alfred Hitchcock's Anthology, Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories to be Read with the Door Locked, Alfred Hitchcock's Monster Museum, Alfred Hitchcock's Supernatural Tales of Terror and Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbinders in Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock's Witch's Brew, Alfred Hitchcock's Ghostly Gallery, Alfred Hitchcock's A Hangman's Dozen and Alfred Hitchcock's Haunted Houseful. Hitchcock himself was not actually involved in the reading, reviewing, editing or selection of the short stories; in fact, even his introductions were ghost-written. The entire extent of his involvement with the project was to lend his name and collect a check.

Marguerite Youcenar - Osmeh Kraljevića Marka

Oriental Tales (Nouvelles orientales) is a 1938 short story collection by the French writer Marguerite Yourcenar. The stories share a self-consciously mythological form; some are based on pre-existing myths and legends, while some are new. The story "How Wang-Fo Was Saved" was adapted into an animated short film by René Laloux in the 1980s.

Autorka ”Hadrijanovih memoara”, jedina besmrtnica među besmrtnim članovima Francuske akademije, Margerit Jursenar, fascinirana legendom o Marku Kraljeviću, koju je čula u Kotoru ili kako bi rekla narodna pesma u ”kršnom primorju”, napisala je predivnu priču: ”Osmeh Kraljevića Marka”. Na kraju te pripovetke nalazi se nezaboravna rečenica kojom se porede najveći grčki junaci sa Kraljevićem Markom i njegovim osmehom koji je, i pored svih muka na koje su ga Turci stavili, izmamila jedna lepotica i njena igra

Joris-Karl Huysmans - Pripovetke

Žori-Karl Hajsmans ( Charles-Marie-Georges Huysmans,) francuski pisac druge polovine devetnaestog veka.

Rođen je u Parizu. Hajsmans je započeo svoju književnu karijeru kao naturalistički pisac sa tekstovima kao što su Marthe, Histoire d'une fille (1876). Njegov roman Protiv prirode (À rebours) (1884), ima samo jedan lik, estetu Eseinta, prekida sa naturalizmom i postaje je potpuno primer "dekadentne" literature. 

Barbaric in its profusion, violent in its emphasis, wearying in its splendor, it is - especially in regard to things seen - extraordinarily expressive, with all the shades of a painter's palette. Elaborately and deliberately perverse, it is in its very perversity that Huysmans' work - so fascinating, so repellent, so instinctively artificial - comes to represent, as the work of no other writer can be said to do, the main tendencies, the chief results, of the Decadent movement in literatur

A father says goodbye to his young daughter and leaves. As the wide Dutch landscapes live through their seasons so the girl lives through hers.

The father leaving on a boat signifies his death and the images of the daughter watching for him to come back is signifying her always thinking about him throughout her life. Towards the end when the now elderly daughter begins to travel through the overgrown, dried up riverbed is supposed to explain that she has died and is now travelling in the afterlife to see her father once again.

Suehiro Maruo - Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show


Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show falls within the grotesque manga genere of modern Japanese comics, and should not be read by those of weak heart, stomach, or wit. The story follows the main character, Midori, on her unfortunate side-show life, filled with laborous days, dangerous nights, and dark twists of reality. Maruo's compelling, complex imagery is unparalelled by satyrical and ironic storytelling mixed with poetic nuances.
