Are you interested in discovering what traditional Orthodox life in a native Orthodox culture looks like? This book reveals the traditional spiritual and liturgical life of the Greek island of Skiathos, which the author shows to be an authentic expression of the Orthodox faith. The book is read in Greek both by laymen, entranced by the successful marriage of profound theology and the beautiful world Papadiamandis describes, and by students of theology at the University of Thessalonica, where it is used in the Pastoral Theology class. It includes a Foreword by Hieromonk Alexis (Trader), previously Lecturer in Patristics at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, and now an Athonite monk. A translator’s Introduction follows, which considers the Orthodox understanding of art outside of strictly liturgical bounds.The book also includes two of Papadiamandis’s stories, a glossary, map, and more.Who was Alexandros Papadiamantis? He is known in Greece as the "Saint of Greek letters,” and was the most important literary figure of nineteenth-century Greece.His stories offer lively, tender, and profound vignettes into the simple lives of the Orthodox faithful on his native island of Skiathos. They also reveal a world of organically lived Orthodoxy, largely lost in the disintegrating order of modern life. A Realist author, Papadiamantis does not portray a romantic, ideal world but rather a profoundly human world of struggle that always has the possibility of transfiguration through life in Christ and His Church.

A vivid account of the passionate pursuit of love, conquest, and revenge, The Merchants of Nations (1882) brought popular success to Alexandros Papadiamantis years before he would achieve critical acclaim with his short stories. Revered as the “Dostoyevsky of Greece” and the “Saint of Greek literature”, Papadiamantis delivers his characteristic irony and deep insight into the human psyche with this work of historical fiction. Set amid the collapsing world of the late Byzantine Empire, the novel describes how the lives of devout Aegean islanders are upended when they are caught in the wake of ruthless medieval crusaders. This timely translation by Michail Tzoufras of one of Greece’s greatest modern writers is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Greece’s place in Europe—a still-relevant issue given the nation’s current economic and political crisis.

From what could only have originated from the mind of "El Topo" director, and "The Metabarons" author, Alexandro Jodorowsky, "Bouncer" follows the adventures of a one armed gunslinger and sometimes saloon bouncer in one of the Wild West’s many dangerous and vice-infested towns. Drawn by acclaimed artist François Boucq in a gritty and realistic style.

The Incal is the world-renowned tale from creators Moebius and Alexandro Jodorowsky. The tale begins with a young John Difool, as he tries to survive riots and poverty in the days before the Presidential Cloning. It is here that John must learn to be his own man, as he is slowly drawn into events of cosmic proportions. It is fitting that Janjetov, who studied under Moebius, will illustrate the first two trade paperback collections. The Incal series of books will reprint the COMPLETE story, including a masterful computer re-coloring of every page.

The best cities become an ingrained part of their residents' identities.  Urban design is the key to this process, but all too often, citizens abandon it to professionals, unable to see a way to express what they love and value in their own neighborhoods. In this visually rich book, Alexandros Washburn, Chief Urban Designer of the New York Department of City Planning, redefines urban design. His book empowers urbanites and lays the foundations for a new approach to design that will help cities to prosper in an uncertain future. He asks his readers to consider how cities shape communities, for it is the strength of our communities, he argues, that will determine how we respond to crises like Hurricane Sandy, whose floodwaters he watched from his home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Washburn draws heavily on his experience within the New York City planning system while highlighting forward-thinking developments in cities around the world. He grounds his book in the realities of political and financial challenges that hasten or hinder even the most beautiful designs. By discussing projects like the High Line and the Harlem Children's Zone as well as examples from Seoul to Singapore, he explores the nuances of the urban design process while emphasizing the importance of individuals with the drive to make a difference in their city. Throughout the book, Washburn shows how a well-designed city can be the most efficient, equitable, safe, and enriching place on earth. The Nature of Urban Design provides a framework for participating in the process of change and will inspire and inform anyone who cares about cities.

The Incal: The Epic Conspiracy begins one of comics' greatest masterpieces illustrated by Moebius and written by Alexandro Jodorowsky, Together they present the classic adventure of sci-fi detective John DiFool, a low class detective in a corrupt world. He finds his life turned upside down when he discovers an ancient artifact called "The Incal." DiFool's adventures bring him into conflict with the galaxy's greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope.

After the Greek tragedy of "The Metabarons," Alexandro Jodorowsky comes back to his biblical roots with this quest reminiscent of Moses and set on a galactic scale. To top it off, the characters and the theme of virtual reality are tailor-made for artist Zoran Janjetov ("Before The Incal"), who finds in Jodorowsky his perfect match. Albino, hero of this space odyssey, remembers here his childhood, his apprenticeship, and the big and small battles he had to fight to fulfill his ambitions in a universe where technological advances are paradoxically matched only by the cruelty and the barbarism of the forces controlling it.

Two boys, one heroic bond, and the molding of Greece’s greatest son.Before he became known as Alexander the Great, he was Alexandros, the teenage son of the king of Makedon. Rather than living a life of luxury, as prince he has to be better and learn faster than his peers, tackling problems without any help. One such problem involves his increasingly complicated feelings for his new companion, Hephaistion. When Alexandros and Hephaistion go to study under the philosopher Aristoteles, their evolving relationship becomes even harder to navigate. Strength, competition, and status define one’s fate in their world—a world that seems to have little room for the tenderness growing between them. Alexandros is expected to command, not to crave the warmth of friendship with an equal. In a kingdom where his shrewd mother and sister are deemed inferior for their sex, and his love for Hephaistion could be seen as submission to an older boy, Alexandros longs to be a human being when everyone but Hephaistion just wants him to be a king.
