Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel which has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe. He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. That is, until, twenty-four years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English language.

The much-loved Mythic Tarot deck has enjoyed international success and become a collector's classic.

For The New Mythic Tarot, these myths have been beautifully re-illustrated by Giovanni Caselli, a tarot artist with a passion for the classical world.

The Grail Tarot re-tells the fabulous grail legend - one of the most famous mysteries the world has ever known - and relates the quest for the sacred Christian relic to our desire to understand the puzzle of our own lives. Characters drawn from over 2,000 years of fascinating Grail history - including the enigmatic Knights Templar - now take their place in the Major Arcana of this superb deck, with the suits represented by the four Grail Hallows: cup, spear, sword and stone. Giovanni Caselli's stunning art is inspired by the beautiful Renaissance paintings of Piero della Francesca. When the cards of the four minor suits, and the majors, are laid face-up and side by side, each group forms a complete story, in the style of an Italian fresco.

Den grekiska mytologien upphör aldrig att fascinera och alltsedan antiken har den berättats och lästs för generation efter generation. Inom litteratur, konst, opera och balett har dessa gudasagor varit en inspirationskälla och kunskapen om den grekiska mytologien ingår även idag i en god allmänbildning. I 27 kapitel får läsaren en utförlig sammanställning av den grekiska mytologien. Här kan man läsa om många gudar och gudinnor och få släkttavlor som hjälper till att identifiera de olika personerna. Här möter sagor om hjältar och vidunder som Perseus och gorgonen Medusa eller Herakles och hydran, men också tragiska berättelser som den om Orfeus och Eurydike och skildringar av sällsamma resor, fulla av allsköns äventyrliga upplevelser. Boken slutar med berättelsen om ett av de största krigen i historien - den tioåriga belägringen av staden Troja, då gudar och hjältar kämpade sida vid sida. Tjugotvå mästerliga illustrationer i färg och över fyrtio teckningar - alla beställda just för detta verk - presenterar äventyren på det mest levande sätt. En karta över den antika världen visar var alla dessa äventyrliga händelser utspelades.
