Publikace Sámové – jazyk, literatura a společnost je prvním ucelenějším příspěvkem ke studiu původních obyvatel severní Skandinávie. Sámové, kteří jsou u nás známi spíše pod označením Laponci, obývají oblast za polárním kruhem. Je jich kolem šedesáti tisíc a žijí v Norsku, Švédsku, Finsku a Rusku. Přestože ještě donedávna museli čelit politice asimilace, mají dnes vlastní parlament, politické strany, univerzitu a státem garantovanou výuku sámštiny na školách, rozhlasové stanice a televizní programy v sámštině. To, čeho Sámové v posledních letech dosáhli, je předmětem zájmu – a svým způsobem i obdivu – ve vědeckých kruzích i mezi představiteli jiných menšinových a původních populací.

The great Native American Novel of a battered veteran returning home to heal his mind and spirit More than thirty-five years since its original publication, Ceremony remains one of the most profound and moving works of Native American literature, a novel that is itself a ceremony of healing. Tayo, a World War II veteran of mixed ancestry, returns to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation. He is deeply scarred by his experience as a prisoner of the Japanese and further wounded by the rejection he encounters from his people. Only by immersing himself in the Indian past can he begin to regain the peace that was taken from him. Masterfully written, filled with the somber majesty of Pueblo myth, Ceremony is a work of enduring power.

Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small Texas town, patient and thoughtful. Some people think he's a little slow and boring but that's the worst they say about him. But then nobody knows about what Lou calls his 'sickness'. It nearly got him put away when he was younger, but his adopted brother took the rap for that. Now the sickness that has been lying dormant for a while is about to surface again - and the consequences are brutal and devastating. Tense and suspenseful, THE KILLER INSIDE ME is a brilliantly sustained noir crime masterpiece.
