The Snow Ghost And Other Tales Bok
<p><b>Enter the haunted world of Ancient Japan in this spine-tingling collection of ghostly tales told and retold across the centuries. </b><br/><br/>From Goblin infested caves and haunted Tombs, to vengeful spirits and strange, sinister happenings, Ancient Japan was a country and culture that lived with between realms: the world of everyday and the world of supernatural. It was a time and place where men could be brought down by karmic forces or lured into deadly danger by ghostly apparitions, and where the land held sorrowful secrets or stories that long-awaited an opportunity to reveal them and seek reparation.<br/><br/><i>The Snow Ghost and Other Tales </i>brings together some of the best and scariest tales that endured across centuries of folk lore in one new beautiful hardback collection. Finally commited to writing during the turn of the twenieth cenutry by a unique set of folklorists, the ghost stories presented in this new anthology will transport readers to a time of magic and mystery, and let them relish in the spine-tingling traditions of Japanese culture largely lost now to modernity.</p>

Uyghur Poems Bok
<p>The Uyghur people of Central Asia have a long and distinguished tradition of poetry - indeed, their first oral epic was circulating as early as the 2nd century BCE. In the medieval period Sufi poetry flourished, embracing Persian forms such as the ghazal, which spoke eloquently of beauty, love, loss and separation. A major poet, Alshir Navayi (1441 -1501) fully established classical Turkic or Chagatai as a perfect vehicle for poetic expression. Some contemporary poets continue to find inspiration within the traditional forms, while others experiment with a freer style of verse.<br/>Uyghur poetry reflects the magnificent natural landscapes where the Uyghurs have lived for two millennia - endless steppes, soaring mountain ranges and mysterious deserts, crossed by the historic Silk Road. It is also shaped by their turbulent past, caught between warring empires or marauding warlords - and their deeply troubled present.<br/>The Uyghurs form a minority in China, where the government is now making a systematic attempt to erase their language and culture. Many intellectuals have been imprisoned, and many poets are now writing from exile, including the editor and translator of this volume, Aziz Isa Elkun, who lives in London. <i>Uyghur Poems</i> is not only a celebration of an ancient and vibrant poetic tradition, but also a vital witness to a culture under threat.</p>

<p><b>VOLUME ONE OF TWO<br/><br/>A genre-defining-and redefining-collection of fiction's boldest, most rebellious, and most prescient genre, featuring a smorgasbord of stories from all over the globe</b><br/><br/><i>'The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.'</i> Forty years ago, William Gibson wrote the line that began <i>Neuromancer</i> and, more importantly, 'Cyberpunk' - a literary movement that would change the face of science fiction forever.<br/><br/>In <i>The Big Book of Cyberpunk</i>, award-winning anthologist Jared Shurin brings together over a hundred stories from more than twenty-five different countries that both establish and subvert the classic Cyberpunk tropes and aesthetic - from gritty, near-future noir to pulse-pounding action. Here, urban rebels undermine monolithic corporate overlords, daring heists are conducted through back alleys and the darkest parts of the online world, and dangerous new technology, cybernetic enhancements, scheming AIs, corporate mercenaries, improbable weapons and roguish hackers all collide into rich, thrilling entertainment. Set across two volumes, these are tales that examine the near-now, extrapolating the most provocative trends into fascinating and plausible futures.<br/><br/>We live in an increasingly Cyberpunk world, packed with complex technologies and globalized social trends. It is a world so bizarre that even the futurists couldn't explain it - though many authors in this book have come closer than most. As both an introduction to the genre and the perfect compendium for the lifelong fan, <i>The Big Book of Cyberpunk Vol. 1 </i>and<i> Vol. 2</i> offer a hundred ways to understand where we are, and where we're going - or simply the opportunity to venture down some dazzling, neon-slicked streets.</p>
