By Natsume Soseki

“This rollicking rebel, and the spice and pace of the narrative, will appeal to parent, teacher, and schoolchild alike.” – Times Literary Supplement

“Soseki’s lightest and funniest work.” – Donald Keene

“Natsume Soseki is unquestionably one of Japan’s greatest modern novelists, and the easiest approach to his work is through his delightful early satire, Botchan.” – Oliver Statler

“Natsume Soseki is the great Japanese writer...” – Orhan Parmuk, NYT, 11.11.2012

As the most widely-read piece of modern Japanese literature, Botchan captures a society caught between modernist impulses and traditional culture, the divide between urban and rural life, and the tension between sincerity and pretension.

It is the story of a brash Tokyoite who leaves for the ‘uncivilized’ countryside to teach school. Like its protagonist, Botchan is a gem of unembellished refinement: down-to-earth, A COMEDY FROM A multifaceted, and laugh-out-loud funny. JAPANESE NATIONAL TREASURE Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) is widely con- sidered the foremost writer about modern Japan, and is an official Japanese National Treasure. He spent years studying in London before returning to Japan to establish his literary career with the classics I Am a Cat, Botchan, and Kokoro.

By Yuri Felshtinsky

Examines existing and newly-discovered source material for a fresh look at a pivotal turning point in world history.

Historians have long studied why the world Communist revolution that broke out in Europe in 1917-1919 ended in defeat. The overthrow of the Russian monarchy in 1917 and the subsequent Bolshevik coup were followed by the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, a separate peace between Russia and the Central Powers, with unprecedented annexations and reparations. Lenin wanted a separate peace with Germany; Bukharin wanted immediate revolutionary war. Trotsky wanted “neither peace nor war.” By forming a separate peace with Germany and her allies to stabilize THE TREATY THAT SHAPED THE Soviet rule in Russia, Lenin’s government GEO-POLITICAL WORLD FOR DECADES delivered a stab in the back to the German socialist revolution. As a result, by 1919, Lenin’s Soviet government had survived in Russia, and became the global center of the Communist International movement.

This is the first book in English that examines and details the effects and morality of the sanctions against Iraq.

Imposing sanctions on Iraq was one of the most heinous of crimes of the 20th Century.

This is a comprehensive overview of Iraq’s politics, growth and destruction through aggressive sanctions; and an analysis of the legality of the sanctions in international and human rights law. It presents a detailed policy SANCTIONS: THE REAL WEAPON OF analysis and details the devastation of Iraq in MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ 2003 after 12 years of sanctions – a devastation so dreadful that two UN administrators of the sanctions program, Dennis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, resigned in protest.

By David Montaigne

Does the end of the Mayan Calendar start the countdown to Judgment Day? Biblical and historical researcher David Montaigne suggests the end of the Mayan Long Count on 12/21/2012 is only the official start of the Bible’s seven-year tribulation: the world as we know it will be gone by 2020.

Texts from ancient India and Egypt tell of great cycles of destruction. The Maya were very clear about the timing of events from December 2012 to 2019, and further details can be found in the Bible.

World Leaders and the elite have made preparations most rational people would not believe, because evidence of the coming tribulation has been suppressed to avoid 2012 IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE END chaos. The coming events (and their timing) are not secrets. Your plans, however, can still be formulated, if you make the choice to understand.

Was Mars once as lush and green as the Earth, and teeming with life? Did Mars once orbit a missing member of the solar system, a Super Earth that vanished? Was there a disaster that devastated life on Earth and Venus and left us only the asteroid belt as evidence of its once grand existence? Did the survivors of this catastro- phe leave monuments and temples behind, arranged in a mathematical precision designed to teach us secrets of a new physics that could lift us back to the stars? Does the planet have an automated defense shield that swallows up robotic probes if they wander into the wrong areas? And are the lights still WAS MARS ONCE INHABITED? on down there, deep below the sands of Mars, just waiting for us to uncover them?

By J. Allan Danelek

First volume in a cryptozoological thriller series from Adventures Unlimited Press!

The Amazon is a place of breathtaking beauty, but also one of tremendous danger, where death can take many forms. Few ever suspected that it would manifest itself as a genetically engineered anaconda of extraordinary size with a ravenous appetite for the things that live on and beneath the river – especially human beings.

Among the few scientists who know of the creature’s existence is world-renowned cryp- tozoologist Paul Manhart who, along with his young, intrepid assistant, Sarah Underhill, is on a quest to prove the snake’s existence to Brazilian authorities, and to persuade them to do something about it before it wreaks havoc among the towns along the Amazon. A THRILLER BASED ON TRUE EVENTS Manhart didn’t expect to fall in love with his assistant, nor did he realize the tremendous price their encounter with the beast will cost them, both personally, and in blood.

By Jean-Pierre Ohl Translated by Mike Mitchell

Capturing the atmosphere of Edinburgh and rural Scotland, this novel ingeniously merges past and present, fact and fiction, literature and imagination.

She pursues her research in his ancestral home, Cromarty House, now a crumbling ruin. There, under the current laird, Sir James, she is drawn into an increasingly Gothic exploration of the history of the eccentric Urquharts and the maze of tunnels beneath the house. She loses her virginity to the Catholic priest of her parish, who is a distant, illegitimate descendant of Urquhart. He renounces his calling and goes to CLEVER, UNUSUAL MYSTERY, Edinburgh, where he searches for his father, BASED IN SCOTLAND who disappeared in the Spanish Civil War, leaving him with little more than a memory of a boat trip to the Corryvreckan whirlpool, which allows for a cameo appearance by George Orwell.

By Lars Ramslie Translated by Deborah Dawkin

Set in a fictional past resembling the turn of the last century, this is a dark, burlesque fantasy of Siamese twins. But these are Siamese twins with a difference: they are male and female.

Outcasts, Earl and Betty have scraped a living in freak shows. Returning home, they are sheltered by the local bordello owner, an amputee with an eye for Betty. Here the twins meet a colorful, diverse band of show wrestlers who prove loyal friends.

Compellingly written, Uglybugly walks a delicate line between the grotesque and sublime. It is a deeply humane book, illuminating our responsibilities to our fellow human beings.

Lars Ramslie made his debut in 1997 with Biopsy, a novel about the relationship between a son and his heroin-addicted father, which received the Tarjei Vesaas First Book Award. A SURREAL TALE ABOUT His other novels include Microchaos (1999), MALE/FEMALE SIAMESE TWINS Destroyer (2000), and Fatso (2003), which has been made into a feature film in Norway.

52..|..SCB DISTRIBUTORS..|..SPRING 2013 The Vatard Sisters

By Joris-Karl Huysmans Translated by Brendan King

“A powerful and outstanding work.” – Gustave Flaubert

This novel is a story of two working-class sisters, but the main protagonist is Paris, suburban Paris, the Paris of railway stations, cheap restaurants and café-concerts.

The passages that describe the music-halls and crowds of the Avenue de Maine and the Boulevard Saint Michel, or the railway yard seen from the back window of the sisters’ bedroom, have a visual immediacy, energy, even the force of personality.

This is the work that created Huysmans’ reputation by revealing him as a man who could paint word-pictures which transcended those of Gautier and Edmond de Goncourt.

Joris-Karl Huysmans (1847-1907) began writing as a naturalist in the style of Zola. He is one of the great descriptors of Paris, as witnessed by his Parisian Sketches (Dedalus, 2004). Huysmans’ THE GREAT NOVEL ABOUT PARIS À rebours (1884) catapulted him to literary greatness.

Brendan King is a freelance writer, reviewer and translator, whose PhD is on the life and work of J.-K.Huysmans. He has translated La-Bas, Parisian Sketches, Marthe, Against Nature , Stranded, The Cathedral and The Vatard Sisters for Dedalus, as well as The Life of J.-K. Huysmans. The Vatard Sisters

“The Shirt Kings network was fashion TV of the times, and advertising and promotion way before it became trendy.” – Chuck D, Public Enemy A look at the early days of urban fashion through the lens of the pioneering artists, the Shirt Kings of Jamaica, Queens, who adapted graffiti to create a new look for a new generation. Rappers and hip hop fans came from all over the city to get their own customized T-shirts from The Mighty Shirt Kings, and their style traveled all over the world through record covers, magazines and music videos. The Shirt Kings’ designs soon became synonymous with Hip Hop and the culture of making something out of nothing. DJ Red Alert, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Mike Tyson – they all had to have their Shirt Kings designs. Edwin PHADE Sacasa, founder of the Shirt ROOTS OF HIP HOP DESIGN Kings store, was born in Brooklyn and studied photography at the HSAD in NYC and graduated from SCAD in video.

Hitomi takes over all aspects of the industrialist’s life, including his company, his fortune, and, eventually, his wife. Then he redirects the family’s wealth to build an island playground of hedonistic excess and every earthly delight and degradation, including orgies, decadent feasts, and dark secrets.

During that time Lee lived in the crucible of a terminal illness that limited his ability to speak, even while he continued to work and teach extensively, traveling in Europe and the US until the last 2 days of his life. Here the reader enters the teacher’s world and encoun- ters a living flame that is full of tenderness and compassion for the human predicament, as well as full of humor. As Lee walked the razor’s edge of his last months with dignity, grace and an unflagging commitment to the Path, so, too, are his words imbued with an inner fire that burns away the identification and entrenched attachments of our self-preoccupation.

These essays are a testimony of the author’s own radical faith, rooted in surrender to the Supreme Reality, fully incarnated in a life- A SPIRITUAL MASTER’S LEGACY time of devotion to his spiritual master, Yogi Ramsuratkumar.

The first flowering of Satanism in erotic art came with the Belgian artist Felicien Rops, who commingled elements of death, prostitution and the Satanic in his work, particularly in his 5-picture series, Les Sataniques (1882). Rops’ images, The Sacrifice and Calvary, are explicit representations of Black Mass and Satanism, and still retain their original power to disturb. Rops’ illustrations in oil, etchings, pencil work, pastels, and watercolors were originally reproduced in editions of Paul Verlaine, Joséphin Péladan, and Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly’s Les Diaboliques.

By Natacha Merritt

“Merrit’s eerily intimate depictions ... transcend smut. Even literate smut.” – Rolling Stone

“The juxtapositions are exceptional...leading one’s imagination to places it hasn’t been.” – Richard Prince

Sex. Art. Insects? Here, Merritt applies her distinctive vision to create astonishingly lyrical images contrasting the sexual intricacies of plants and insects with her own elaborate sexuality.

Each image is unmistakably a work of art transcending easy categorization. Lush, eerily intimate photographs capture fleeting moments of animal/insect arousal, granting us a rare insight into our universal sexuality.

She is particularly interested in arachnid genetalia. With the questions she asks as a scientist, she answers as an artist with photography and writing. By exposing the often-overlooked sensual and sexual behavior of other species, Merritt broadens readers’ MERRIT’S FOLLOW-UP TO DIGITAL DIARIES sense of beauty and arousal.

Natacha Merritt is an artist, writer and biologist. Her intimate and explicit series of portraits and self-portraits documenting her sexual history caused a sensation and her first book, Digital Diaries (Taschen), sold 300,000 copies and was featured in The Observer, Playboy, The WSJ and Rolling Stone.
