One hundredyears after the publication of James Joyce s classic collection of short stories, ” Dubliners 100” is an innovative & timely conversation about the collection. Editor Thomas Morris invited contemporary writers to write ”cover versions” of their favorite Joyce classics as a tribute to the original ” Dubliners” collection.” ...

This title was shortlisted for the 2013 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. Samuel Riba is about to turn 60. A successful publisher in Barcelona, he has edited many of his generation's most important authors. But he is increasingly prone to attacks of anxiety
- inspired partly by giving up alcohol, & partly by his worries about the future of the book. Looking for distraction, he concocts a spur-of-the-moment trip to Dublin, a city he has never visited but once had a vivid dream about. Riba sets off for Dublin on the pretext that he wishes to honour James Joyce's Ulysses, & to hold, on Bloomsday, a funeral for the age of print. But as he & his friends give their orations, a mysterious figure in a mackintosh hovers in the cemetery, looking rather like Joyce's protege Samuel Beckett. Is it Beckett, or is it the writer of genius that Riba has spent his whole career trying, & failing, to find? As he ponders this, & other profound questions, he marks a death but makes some illuminating discoveries about life. Mixing fact & fiction, irony & pathos, Dublinesque is a novel of ideas that grabs at your heart. Its first English-language publication will coincide with Bloomsday 2012, a significant year for Joyce lovers in that it marks the ninetieth anniversary of the publication of Ulysses, & the year Joyce's work comes out of copyright.

Since emerging as a settlement in the seventh century, Dubrovnik held a significant position beyond what could have been expected of this tiny city-state. Its merchants, trading throughout the huge Ottoman Empire, enjoyed privileges denied to other Western states. A politically skilled & commercially enterprising ruling class took every opportunity to maximise the Republic`s wealth. Dubrovnik also faced the extreme dangers posed by Venetian aggressors, Ottoman plotters, a terrible earthquake in 1667 &, finally, the will of Napoleon. In 1991-92, the city survived the besieging Yugoslav army, which heavily damaged but did not destroy Dubrovnik`s cultural heritage. This book is a comprehensive history of Dubrovnik`s progress over twelve centuries of European development, encompassing arts, architecture, social & economic changes & the traumas of war & politics. ...
