“I am Moscow’s underground son, the result of one too many nights on the town,” says Mbobo, the precocious twelve-year-old narrator of Hamid Ismailov’s The Underground. Born from a Siberian woman and an African athlete competing in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, Mbobo navigates the complexities of being a fatherless, mixed-raced boy in the Soviet Union in the years before its collapse, guided only by the Moscow subway system. Named one of the "ten best Russian novels of the 21st Century" (Continent Magazine), The Underground is Ismailov’s haunting tour of the Soviet capital, on the surface and beneath. Though deeply engaged with great Russian authors of the past—Dostoyevsky, Nabokov, ...
Sait Faik Hikâye Armağanı’nı kazanan Parasız Yatılı’yı 1972’de Kuşatma, 1973’te Benim Sinemalarım izledi. Peş peşe çıkan bu üç kitaptaki öykü dünyasının özgünlüğü, diriliği, iç tutarlılığı, bütünlüğü, kendi kendini yetiştirmiş bir yazar olan Füruzan’ın yaratıcı gücünün yanı sıra ön hazırlığının sağlamlığını da koyuyordu ortaya.

Füruzan öykülerinin bu denli sevilmesinin, kitaplarının yayım...

Almanya)- Kişi, Füruzan'ın öykülerini okuyunca Türkiye'yi ve Türk insanını daha iyi tanıyor. - Adelheid Oberhauber. Die Presse (Avusturya)- Bu öyküler 'özgün Füruzan Olayı'nın dayandığı temelleri açıkta gösteriyor. - Worvearts (Viyana)- Özellikle liselerimizde, 'konuk işçi'lerle ilgili konularda Füruzan'ın öykülerinin de ele alınması gerektiği kanısındayız. - Mittelungen (Berlin Filologlar Birliği)-

Jaz Parks, assassin and black ops agent, is plunged head-first into her latest mission - a confrontation between her ancient vampire boss Vayl, and his previous undead allies. The CIA is hunting arch-criminal Samon, and needs Vayl's ex-friends for information. But the team will have to wade through knotty vampire politics, a were-on-were blood-fest and some nasty (oh, and blood smeared...) visions to get to it. Luckily Jaz's highly trained killing-machine brother is on the job. Unluckily, he has reached the end of his carefully hoarded sanity, and the mission targets suddenly don't seem quite so realistic. The last thing Jaz wants is to end up on the dead side of the balance sheet ...
