One Woman in the War
Before the publication of this book, Alaine Polcz was widely recognized as a psychologist ministering to the needs of disturbed and incurably ill children and their families, as the author of numerous articles and several books on thanatology, and as the founder of the hospice movement in Hungary. The autobiographic account of the experiences of a woman, then 19-20, in the closing months of the Second World War. When it was first published, in 1991, the book was a revelation of past horrors in Hungary which, until then, had lingered on in the farthest reaches of the national memory as rumor and suspicion about the violent acts committed against women during a time of chaos, havoc, and savagery. The literary world quickly recognized the merits of this book: It was highly praised by Hungarian reviewers, awarded prizes, and has already been translated into French, Rumanian, Slovenian, and Serbian.

The Forty Days of Musa Dagh
Franz Werfel's masterpiece tells the true story of the inhabitants of six Armenian villages on the mountain of Musa Dagh, who choose to defy the deportation order of the Turkish government and are subsequently besieged on the mountainside. Told through the eyes of Gabriel Bagradian, a cosmopolitan Armenian who has returned to his home village with his French wife and son after years living in Europe, the novel is a rich and dramatic epic that powerfully argues for the value of resistance even in impossible circumstances.

A Man Called Cervantes
"The life of Cervantes is brought vividly alive in this exciting and well written novel. This is not a biography but, way more fun, is a fictionalized account that let's the author use his fantastic ability to imagine the life and thoughts of a historical figure. Every writer of misfortune and a life-long struggle to create his art will recognize himself in these pages, and perhaps be inspired to ignore the minor significance of accidental circumstances."--Goodreads

Vérvonal
A betolakodóktól védett Kontinensen élő Étienne számára a jóléti társadalom minden kényelme szinte ingyen elérhető - egészen addig, míg egy nap meg nem hekkelik az identitását. A fiatal egyetemista fiúval hirtelen nagyot fordul a világ: bizonytalan státuszúvá, kirekesztetté, üldözötté válik a Kontinens technikailag fejlett, de fajvédő eszméktől áthatott világában. Igazságtalanság történt vele? Vagy nem az, akinek hitte magát? Miközben minden kártyavárként dől össze benne, Étienne-nek szembe kell néznie egykori énjével és brutális cselekedeteivel is… Miklya Luzsányi Mónika kétkötetesre tervezett műve a mai valóság visszásságait fiktív elemekkel vegyítő, vérbeli, fordulatos disztópia.
