Temptation
A hilarious and poignant rediscovered classic: the story of a young boy's struggle and (mis)adventures as he escapes poverty in interwar Budapest Béla has never had much luck. Abandoned in foster care and almost starved by his guardian, he must fight for everything, from scraps of food to the right to go to school. At fourteen he is caught trying to steal a pair of shoes; his mother is called and reluctantly takes him with her to the capital. So begins Béla's energetic flight to escape poverty.

The Making of Dissidents
Before Hungary’s transition from communism to democracy, local dissidents and like-minded intellectuals, activists, and academics from the West influenced each other and inspired the fight for human rights and civil liberties in Eastern Europe. Hungarian dissidents provided Westerners with a new purpose and legitimized their public interventions in a bipolar world order. The Making of Dissidents demonstrates how Hungary’s Western friends shaped public perceptions and institutionalized their advocacy long before the peaceful revolutions of 1989. But liberalism failed to take root in Hungary, and Victoria Harms explores how many former dissidents retreated and Westerners shifted their attention elsewhere during the 1990s, paving the way for nationalism and democratic backsliding.

Hodge Theory and Classical Algebraic Geometry
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference on Hodge Theory and Classical Algebraic Geometry, held May 13-15, 2013, at The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. Hodge theory is a powerful tool for the study and classification of algebraic varieties. This volume surveys recent progress in Hodge theory, its generalizations, and applications. The topics range from more classical aspects of Hodge theory to modern developments in compactifications of period domains, applications of Saito's theory of mixed Hodge modules, and connections with derived category theory and non-commutative motives.
The Cracks in my Skin
'Do you find it hard? Getting close? I want to get close but I can't stop blowing things apart. Vexing people like a bomb' Janie's a force of nature, like some considerable disaster zone. It's baking hot, her mouth is peeling away and now she's got horns. Been on her head for yonks apparently, growing... Roper can feel his grandson Linden pulling away from him, pushing him away... like his eyes are mini pebbles all suddenly. Like everyone, Josefa needs a bit of a miracle to happen.

Funny, open-hearted, surprising and strange, The Cracks in My Skin is a new kind of love story...a new kind of family. It opened at The Studio at Manchester Royal Exchange, in February 2008.
