Strange Days Books, Social Cooperative Enterprise
Strange Days Books is a social cooperative publishing firm based in Crete, Greece. Since 2012 we have published almost 100 books. Every year we organize Sand Festival, an online Writers’ Workshop and - in cooperation with www.eyelands.gr literary magazine - the one and only international short story competition based in Greece, plus our International Book Awards. In 2019 SDB was the only publishing house in Greece to receive approval by the European Union’s Creative Europe translation funding program for its project "Strange Days in Europe”. Strange Days Books is an entirely independent publisher, primarily interested in showcasing the wealth of new writing voices in Greece. We work closely with our authors to create books that will appeal to booklovers, books about the present, books that strive to push the art of literature forward, books written with talent and passion, books that challenge the way we see the world, books bursting with new ideas and intriguing perspectives.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2014Chinua Achebe
by Jago Morrison, John Thieme
Chinua Achebe has long been regarded as Africa's foremost writer. In this major new study, Jago Morrison offers a comprehensive reassessment of his work as an author, broadcaster, editor and political thinker. With new, historically contextualised readings of all of his major works, this is the first study to view Achebe's oeuvre in its entirety, from Things Fall Apart and the early novels, through the revolutionary Ahiara Declaration - previously attributed to Emeka Ojukwu - to the revealing final works The Education of a British Educated Child and There Was a Country. Contesting previous interpretations which align Achebe too easily with this or that nationalist programme, the book reveals Achebe as a much more troubled figure than critics have habitually assumed. Authoritative and wide-ranging, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Achebe's work in the twenty-first century. ;

August 1984Das Dubliner Tagebuch des Stanislaus Joyce
by Stanislaus Joyce, George Harris Healey, Arno Schmidt
Stanislaus Joyce hat Tagebücher hinterlassen, von denen einige, aus der Zeit vom Herbst 1903 bis zum April 1905, hier vorliegen. Sie ergänzen das uns aus »Meines Bruders Hüter« (st273) bekannte Bild der Familie Joyce und ihrer Freunde, geben ehrlichen, oft mürrischen, häufig haßerfüllten Einblick in deren elendes Alltagsleben und zeigen schon in diesen frühen Jahren die Mischung aus Bewunderung und Verachtung, die für das Verhältnis von Stanislaus zu James lebenslänglich entscheidend gewesen ist. James pflegte diese Aufzeichnungen zu lesen und hat sie bisweilen für seine Werke ebenso ausgenutzt wie Stanislaus später für sein Erinnerungsbuch. Niemand wird in diesen Tagebüchern so häufig erwähnt wie der Bruder James, und so enthalten sie wichtige Aufschlüsse über die Jahre, in denen dieser an »Kammermusik«, »Stephen der Held«, »Ein Porträt des Künstlers als junger Mann« arbeitete. Wieviel Wirklichkeit in die Werke von James eingegangen ist, wird erst sichtbar durch die zahlreichen Anmerkungen, die der Übersetzer Arno Schmidt für den deutschen Leser beigesteuert hat.

Tourism industryOctober 2010Conservation Tourism
by Ralf C Buckley, James Guy Castley, Julianna Priskin, Augustina Barros, Fiona Clare Morrison, Zhong Linsheng
The effects of tourism on the ecology and natural environment of tourist destinations are hotly debated and research has expanded in the field of ecotourism and sustainability. This book considers the positive contributions that tourism can make to the conservation of global biodiversity by reviewing and analysing the economic and political contributions of tourism to conservation through establishment of private game and wildlife reserves, lodges and tourist facilities. Featuring 100 international case studies from private marine reserves to bird watching lodges, this book covers key topics including sources of capital and operational funding, corporate and organisational structure, marketing strategies, primary conservation outcomes and spin-off effects, links to public protected areas, future plans and global trends.

January 1970Giacomo Joyce
by James Joyce, Richard Ellmann, Klaus Reichert, Fritz Senn
»Joyce, Sie wissen doch, dieser irische Gigant … Der Zeitpunkt liegt so um 1909 herum. Da lebte der wortgewaltige Romancier in Triest und fristete sein Leben mühsam mit Sprachunterricht. Ja, und da hatte er eine Affäre mit einer Schülerin, kindjung anscheinend, doch von überzeugender Weiblichkeit. Ihr zuliebe schrieb er eben jenes Novellchen. Es steht alles drin, was einem reifen Mann passiert, wenn er sich vergißt. Und es ist eine Poesie, in eine feine Lieblichkeit eingefangen, wie sie nur Joyce vermag, wenn er verliebt ist.« – Werner Helwig
