Experimental Russian translation of Homer's Odyssey, Books 9-12.

"Served with the Hot Sauce" is a collection of short stories. Some of them are really short and some could be considered novels. All of them will take you back to your youth and remind you about something long forgotten; your first love, your first kiss, your first friend. It will bring back memories of a first betrayal, or the people who saved you from a terrible disaster. Life itself will unfurl before you as a red carpet of your favorite recollections. These stories will make you cry, and laugh and then cry and laugh again. You will sail along this ocean of memories, trading places with the characters, and you will be consumed, drawn in, as if you were actually there. Unfortunately for the readers at large, they are all in Russian, which is the native tongue of the author, Sergey Yevelev. But it is his promise to have the book translated in 2016, so that the English speaking audience can also enjoy these wonderful tales.

A new novel by Yelena Litinskaya, "Woman in a Free Space" covers eight years in the life of a young woman who had to go through all the circles of hell: antisemitism in Brezhnev's USSR, her breakup with a lover, a failed marriage, separation from parents, immigration hardships, joys and sorrows of single motherhood, the persistent search for personal happiness and professional self-affirmation before she finally found long-awaited freedom of private space in America.

The novel is an intertwined recount of the past and present times, different life stories, personalities and the ways they perceive life. It is not about good or bad guys, but rather about people who are living their lives to the best of their abilities. And thinking of the past, each and every one of them has his or her own regrets. It is hard to lie to oneself all the time, trying to forget those who you loved and betrayed. The Universe lives by its own rules: all good and bad things that we did will come back to us. And no one - by any stretch of imagination - can foresee what life may have in store for us.

Evolution of love... A true stories written by a woman who has loved and been loved. Being a yoga teacher, Marina Ustinova proves that true spirituality must not be sought in a monastery and ascetic life... but by living fully with an open heart and an unconditional mind.

"It is difficult - in fact, almost impossible, to write about tragedy without actually experiencing it personally. However, I do know that when I was writing, I was crying. When you read, it is tragedy that impacts you the most; I try to emphasize that in each story, sadness lives alongside with happiness. Strong individuals who have survived a tragedy strive to find happiness and share it with others" (Rena Arzumanova).

This collection of essays, prepared by two contributors, Slava Polishchuk (an artist) and Grigory Starikovsky (a writer) explores the creative drives of Vincent Van Gogh, Mark Rothko, Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth. This book is an attempt to grasp art as a combination of forces which validate and, coincidentally, obliterate an artist's universe.

For a person with the keen sense of fairness it's impossible to not respond to demands of current events. Liya wrote about the Russian aggression towards Ukraine, the fake "humanitarian convoys," the skunk, who pretends to be "The Savior of the Russia." She appreciates the core essence of the Ukrainian Maidan. The words of Babylon and the Temple in Liya's verses, refer to the true ancient history. They are backed by perception of the power of her nation and the energy given by this force.
