Gunpower Square
In this continuation of his previous work, Amor de Lonh, Gabriel Olearnik explores the deepest reaches of the human psyche with a historical sweep that encompasses Republican Rome, Islamic Spain and the future technocracy. Binding all this together are images of fire - as an icon of beauty, creation and apocalypse.

Amor de Lonh
Gabriel Olearnik blends ancient themes with a modern sensibility to produce an unusual work filled with danger, passion and delight. Sparks of humour fly upward to illuminate the dark corners of the languishing soul. Desire strives to overcome death, distance and sheer impossibility in finely tuned, elegant verse that takes us from ancient Sparta to space travel, from the tragedy of the Warsaw Uprising to the joys of fatherhood. A rich, surprising book in the tradition of T. S. Eliot and Zbigniew Herbert, 'Amor de Lonh' warms and intoxicates the reader like a glass of fine Burgundy wine. An Andromache Books title.
Out There
This is what it's like to be young during the greatest time in history. Days of total freedom, wild times, real times, free sex, free love, and rock 'n roll forever. In 'Out There' Mikael Covey writes in a prose as wildly lyrical, as harsh and beautiful as the stark prairies and wide open country. A hymn to eternal youth that takes you on a trip you'll never forget ' from little towns in Nebraska to the blighted paradise of California. Every page sings with the wise and delicate poetry of a free spirit. An Andromache Books title.
Two Brothers
One brother is rich and selfish, the other is poor and noble-hearted. When the poor brother helps a little swallow with a broken leg, he's rewarded in an extraordinary manner. What's growing inside those giant pumpkins anyway...' A tale of brotherly love and hate from ancient Korea. An Andromache Books title.
Hello, I'm Your Polish Neighbour
This is a book to satisfy the curiosity of the average Londoner about the sudden influx of hard-working Poles with their formidable and attractive women and exotic customs. It is also an insight into the older Polish community which came here as former soldiers and political exiles at the end of World War II. The articles were first published weekly in the Ealing Gazette and the Hammersmith Gazette in the years 2007/2008.
Doing Business 2010
The seventh in a series of annual reports investigating the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it, 'Doing Business' presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies--from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe--and over time. Regulations affecting 10 stages of a business's life are measured: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and closing a business. Data in 'Doing Business 2010' are current as of June 1, 2009. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why.
Two Hands Clapping
A beautiful art book, TWO HANDS CLAPPING is a unique collaboration - a book of drawings by artist Alexandra Rozenman, accompanied by a series of poems directly inspired by these drawings. There is a quality of strangeness about Alexandra's work, an 'otherness', something surreal, delicate, fleeting that invites fantasy. 'Every picture tells a story' the saying goes, and these really do, but the stories are as complex and disturbing as our dreams. Who are the wiry bird-like creatures, tragi-comic in their awkward postures, that inhabit this world? What is that dripping through the ceiling? Sky? Tears? And are those eyes lying on the floor? The poems by Grace Andreacchi suggest but don't dictate: in this book you're invited, through pictures and poetry, to form your own answers to these questions.
Two Martyr Plays
The exquisite workmanship and extraordinary imagination of author Grace Andreacchi are resoundingly showcased in these plays. Andreacchi unites the traditions of the Medieval mystery play, the beautiful form and style of classical drama (particularly in her use of the chorus), and the stories of these beloved saints.These two plays can be performed separately as one-act dramas, or together for a longer programme. Both are suitable for all audiences.AGNES: A twelve-year-old girl is ordered to marry a young man of her family's choosing. But Agnes has other ideas - she is already secretly betrothed to the lover she prefers, and she's willing to die for him. LAWRENCE: Christians are being hunted down and killed by the Roman authorities. The Bishop of Rome is arrested, but not before he has time to entrust the entire church treasury to a young, untried deacon. When the Emperor orders him to hand it over on pain of death, what will he do? An Andromache Books title.
