[Warre]

(TYL) Tyr Do Gealach (Land [with] Two Moons) by Robert P. Clarke - Science Fiction In Robert P. Clarke's first full-novel, he has found much success in Tyrculir. Mister Clarke, the same writer of the new 'Zeke-ly the Zeretonian' series for Havok!, and long time veteran of its Mahogany Hound imprint, already had a fair amount of fans for his short stories and work. In this tale of childhood growth, isolation, and the sheer loneliness of being in an entirely new place, we can see a science fiction stalwart and perhaps a bit of a demi-autobiographical tale about mister Clarke himself. | Originally published in English and AnLyric/Lyrige. Now published in Austwegian, English, Fennian, French, Frescanian, Ivernian, Potenzan and Swieczieman Translations in process for Suionian, Touzenese, Yujinese, and Ch'takalak (Aballach Wildling Reserve Native).

(TYL) The Old Gods & New by Arthur Krom Howard - Non Fiction The Old Gods & New has been a controversial book since its publication, but has been selling strong since it. Written by best-selling author Arthur Krom Howard (of Connlyr the Crusader fame), it examines ancient AnLyric religion, gods, and religious practices, as well as giving detailed information on a number of rituals, holy days, and practices. While it has been the cause of some boycotting by the All-Lyric Christian Alliance, of bookstores which sell it, it has sold strongly in part because of its reflection and detail on some of the thought processes given when writing Connlyr, and further because of the massive fanbase which Ser Arthur Howard has within the Body. One of the most controversial details is the claim that Tyran CuAodha, Son of Tyrell, the founder of the Mac Cu Aodhas tribe and the very bedrock of the foundation of modern Tyrculir, is the patron diety over the nation, having ascended at his death. | Originally published in English and AnLyric/Lyrige. Now published in Austwegian, English, Fennian, French, Frescanian, Ivernian, Potenzan, and Saami. Translations in process for Suionian, Touzenese, Yujinese, and Ch'takalak (Aballach Wildling Reserve Native).

Taking the boy under his wings, the two begin to aim for the skies. | Originally published in Touzenese. Now Published in Mandarin and English. French edition in preparation.

(TOU) 経済学批判新版: 20世紀の方法論 (keizaigaku hihan shinpan: nijyusseiki no houhouron, A New Edition of Critique of Political Economy: The Twentieth Century Methodology, by Taketori Natsuki - Non Fiction. Revolutionary Taketori Natsuki, considered by many to be the architect behind what is being termed the 'post-delegationist revival of the East' (and, more controversially, the December 1952 Citizens' Congress bombing), lays out his analysis and critique of the prevailing socio-economic models in his new book that he understands as a founding document of a new political order to be created in Touzen. Taketori started writing the book in Sylvanian exile and finished it after returning to Touzen. Highly controversial but intellectually enriching, Taketori's latest work is hotly discussed in feuilletons across Europe even by those opposed to the post-delegationist ideological assumptions of the work. | Originally published in Touzenese. Now Published in Boliaturan, English, Fennian, French, Frescanian, German and Mandarin. Potenzan, Saami, Suionian, Swieczieman, and other editions in preparation.

Based loosely off the story of the prophetess Deborah in the Bible, this is the first of the three volume fantasy/adventure saga The Dragon Killers. In a land not unlike medieval Potenza, a people have been conquered by the armies of a vicious red dragon who appeared from a volcano near the outskirts of the country. Using an army of skeletons and mighty chariots driven by elephants, the dragon instills fear and tyranny upon the populace for many years. Finally, a shepherd and the descendent of a general, become friends and decide to seek out the advice of the legendary Debora, who is said to play atop a mountain, in hopes of finding a way to kill the dragon.

[Havenshire]

(HAV) When Spring Rains May Come, by Sir Reginald Fife - Fiction. A dark post-apocalyptic novel by a well-regarded Havenite expat currently living in Sylvania, When Spring Rains May Come details the life of a young hound, wandering forlornly and niavely through the chemical and biological warfare scarred landscape of an unspecified country, heavily implied to be Havenshire. Throughout the book we see what are implied to be the various remnants of war-induced atrocity through the niave, childlike eyes of the hound as it searches for its master. It befriends other animals along the way, and one mad, blinded young girl whose quite death at the end of the incredibly bleak novel is followed by the blooming of new flowers in the poisoned soil, a reference to the poem of the title, which talks of how even in a world without man, destroyed by his own folly, nature will find a way to carry on.

Unsuprisingly, the book and the author are both banned from the People's Republic of Havenshire.

(HAV) The Human Circle, by Dr. Edith Bryce - Non Fiction. A renowned sociologist and pioneering psychologist, Dr.Bryce argues strongly that the formation of "Human Circles" or "relationship collectives" is the natural predisposition of higher-order primates, including humans, and that this social, familial and group organisation is fundamental to all natural structures. She castigates the existence of Monarchies and even most democracies as unnatural perversions of this inherent human ordering of things, as the subversion of mechanisms originally evolved to create strong bonds between humans, which she also attributes for humanity's dominance over all things on the earth.

A popular book in Havenshire, but controversial elsewhere, especially for its atheistic explanation for Human Dominion and evolution on a social and political scale.

 

[Republic of the Malheur]

(CAS) Sylvanian Holocaust: The Conquest of Occidentia by T.R. Brown (non-fiction). Historian T.R. Brown argues in this controversial new book, the manifest destiny of white Sylvanians and Cascadians lead to the destruction of millions of native peoples in the Occident and is possibly the most massive act of genocide in the history of Europe. | Currently published in English and French. Translations underway in An Lyric and Danish. The Cascadian and Continental Republics are currently seeking an injunction to halt further printings, citing civil contempt. Translations into indigenous languages currently banned in both countries.

 

[Socialist Commonwealth]

(CAR) The Invisible Worker - A Treatise on Women, Reproductive Labor and its Inferior Social Position by Prof. A. C. Nemec - Non-Fiction This thorough collection of essays written by Prof. Nemec over the course of almost three decades has been termed the most ground-breaking and thorough analysis of the social position of women in capitalist society. The work, analyzing the nature of unpaid housework, its association with feminity and its invisible position within society, has become a rallying call for a young generation of women for whom suffrage was not enough. Praised by the political left throughout Europe, it has been harshly attacked by conservatives who deem it an "all-out assault on family values".

(CAR) Država Podganah (Eng.: Ratlands) by S. Rus - Fiction Ratlands draws the picture of a post-apocalyptic society where humanity has vanished in a devastating war, leaving ruins populated by sentient rats which carve a society out of the remains of mankinds achievements. However, the life of a rat is dangerous, as both deathly remnants of the war as well as fierce predators stalk the land. Most rats have withdrawn to the security of underground cities - the burrows - and only a few brave individuals walk the land, protecting other rats in the wilderness, securing the paths between burrows, driving off predators and many more vital tasks. They are called Rangers. Nasi, one of them, is sent on a mission to deliver a crucial medicine to a secluded and distant burrow, but he quickly senses that there is more to this mission than meets the eye.

[Free Cities League]

(BOG) De Hoeli Makt dez Folkez: Shtudium tsu'em Ën Atomistishe Ferstanding dez Goddlishe Autdraging dez Absolut Makt (English title: The Holy Power of the People: Study for an Atomistic Understanding of the Godly Delegation of Absolute Power) by High Priest Frederik Yurgensun - Non-fiction. A sales hit since freedom of expression was reinstated in Boganhem, this attack on the theological foundations of Bogan monarchy has become extremely popular and is spreading anti-monarchical sentiment. A former High Priest member of the High Council of the True Faith (top organ of Bogan paganism), Frederik Yurgensun undertook several theological and mythological investigations on the so-called 'godly delegation of powers' (like the Mandate of Heaven in Yujin), which has been traditionally understood as a delegation of absolute earthly power from the Gods to the King (which, in a democracy would delegate it to the People, for instance), arguing that the holy texts lead to another conclusion - the delegation of powers was made to each organic human unit on earth, in this case, the People. Hence, he asks for the end of the monarchy on grounds of lack of divine favour and, in a more political note, defends absolute non-interference in international relations - the Gods gave power to each people on Earth to govern themselves exclusively. Yurgensun was killed by the previous regime and his work banned.

(BOG) Di Buddenbrooks (English title: The Buddenbrooks) by Thomas Man - Fiction. Published in 1940, it was also banned before '53. Here, the realist-symbolist Bogan writer Tomas Man describes the rise and plight of a bourgeois between Seeshloss and Lübeck from the mid-19th century to the early 20th. It has become extremely popular for its accessible language, compelling story, social criticism to traditional Bogan structures and highly symbolic writing. Many note the decline of the family's sanity and prestige as the teeth of the family members become yellow and their skin blueish, as a sign of decadence. Due to its highly critical approach it was banned when published, and Man was exiled in the Free Cities' League, but has now gained acceptance as one of the major works of modern Bogan literature.
