Top Shelf Productions Nemo: River of Ghosts
Book SynopsisAlan Moore and Kevin O’Neill steer their fifty-year-long Nemo trilogy to its pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching conclusion.In a world where all the fictions ever written coalesce into a rich mosaic, it’s 1975. Janni Dakkar, pirate queen of Lincoln Island and head of the fabled Nemo family, is eighty years old and beginning to display a tenuous grasp on reality. Pursuing shadows from her past — or her imagination — she embarks on what may be a final voyage down the vastness of the Amazon, a last attempt to put to rest the blood-drenched spectres of old. With allies and adversaries old and new, we accompany an aging predator on her obsessive trek into the cultural landscape of a strange new continent, from the ruined city of Yu-Atlanchi to the fabulous plateau of Maple White Land. As the dark threads in her narrative are drawn into an inescapable web, Captain Nemo leads her hearse-black Nautilus in a desperate raid on horrors believed dead for decades.Through the exotic spectacle of an imagined South America, Moore and O''Neil guide their readers through this epic final act, borne upon a River of Ghosts.

Top Shelf Productions The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol IV):
Book SynopsisWelcome to the story to end all stories. Two decades of literary League lunacy have all been building to this, the most ambitious meta-comic imaginable.After an epic twenty-year journey through the entirety of human culture - the biggest cross-continuity ''universe'' that is conceivable - Alan Moore and Kevin O''Neill conclude both their legendary League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and their equally legendary comic-book careers with the series'' spectacular fourth and final volume, The Tempest. Tying up the slenderest of plot threads and allusions from the three preceding volumes, The Black Dossier, and the Nemo trilogy into a dazzling and ingenious bow, the world''s most accomplished and bad-tempered artist-writer team use their most stylistically adventurous outing yet to display the glories of the medium they are leaving; to demonstrate the excitement that attracted them to the field in the first place; and to analyse, critically and entertainingly, the reasons for their departure.Opening simultaneously in the panic-stricken headquarters of British Military Intelligence, the fabled Ayesha''s lost African city of Kor and the domed citadel of ''We'' on the devastated Earth of the year 2,996, the dense and yet furiously-paced narrative hurtles like an express locomotive across the fictional globe from Lincoln Island to modern America to the Blazing World; from the Jacobean antiquity of Prospero''s Men to the superhero-inundated pastures of the present to the unimaginable reaches of a shimmering science-fiction future. With a cast-list that includes many of the most iconic figures from literature and pop culture, and a tempo that conveys the terrible momentum of inevitable events, this is literally and literarily the story to end all stories. Originally published as a six-issue run of unfashionable, outmoded and flimsy children''s comics that would make you appear emotionally backward if you read them on the bus, this climactic magnum opus also reprints classic English super-team publication The Seven Stars from the murky black-and-white reaches of 1964. A magnificent celebration of everything comics were, are and could be, any appreciator or student of the medium would be unwise to miss The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume IV: THE TEMPEST.Co-Published by Top Shelf Productions (US) and Knockabout (UK).

MQ - University of Nebraska Press The Imaginary Jew
Book SynopsisThe Holocaust changed what it means to be a Jew, for Jew and non-Jew alike. This title decodes the shifts in anti-Semitism at the end of the Cold War, chronicles the impact of Israel's policies on European Jews, opposes arguments both for and against cultural assimilation, and reopens questions about Marx and Judaism.Trade Review“The Imaginary Jew is brilliant and rueful and bitter at the same time. It shows the joint influence of Sartre and Philip Roth—a combination that only Alain Finkielkraut could bring off.”—New Yorker“Finkielkraut’s profoundly personal account of his struggle with Jewish identity is entertaining, witty and . . . unquestionably insightful.”—Jewish Chronicle“Finkielkraut is exciting to read; good to think with. He delivers sharp and smart prose. . . . [A] most compelling book.”—Voice Literary Supplement

Top Shelf Productions The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Volume
Book SynopsisFrom 1910 to 2009, Volume Three spans an entire century, but that may not be enough time for the League to defeat their newest threat. Alan Moore and Kevin O''Neill''s pulp adventure literary mash-up returns.The nineteenth century, expiring with a flourish of Moriarty and Martians, has left the Division of Military Intelligence commanded by Mina Murray in a state of disrepair. While she and her lover, Allan Quatermain, have achieved a measure of eternal youth and recruited new talents such as the trans-gendered immortal Orlando, the ghost-finder Thomas Carnacki, and the gentleman thief A.J. Raffles to replace their deceased or missing colleagues, former associate Captain Nemo has retired to his Pacific pirate island to decline in surly isolation. Now it is the early years of a new and unfamiliar century, and forces are emerging that appear to promise ruin for the Murray group, the nation, and, indeed, the world, even if it will take a hundred years for this apocalyptic threat to come to its disastrous fruition. From the occult parlours and crime-haunted wharfs of 1910, through the criminal, mystical, and psychedelic underworlds of 1969, to the financially and culturally desolated streets of 2009, the disintegrating remnants of Miss Murray and her League must combat not only the hidden hand of their undying adversary, but also the ethical and psychological collapse accompanying this new era. And a lot of things can happen in a CENTURY!

Now it is 1941, and with her daughter strategically married into the family of aerial warlord Jean Robur, Janni''s raiders have only limited contact with the military might of the clownish German-Tomanian dictator Adenoid Hynkel. But when the pirate queen learns that her loved ones are held hostage in the nightmarish Berlin, she has no choice save to intervene directly, travelling with her ageing lover Broad Arrow Jack into the belly of the beastly metropolis. Within that alienated city await monsters, criminals, and legends, including the remaining vestiges of Germany?s notorious ?Twilight Heroes?, a dark Teutonic counterpart to Mina Murray?s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And waiting at the far end of this gauntlet of alarming adversaries there is something much, much worse.Continuing in the bold tradition of Heart of Ice, Moore and O''Neill deliver their sharpest thriller yet. Berlin is a grey city, but as cultures clash and lives are lost in the explosive collision of four unforgettable women, the shadows will grow blacker and the ground redder, in the alleyways where thrive The Roses of Berlin.
