Small Axe Books.
A dream. Our publisher exists for the purest desire to be here and do things our way: rocker and insubstantial, but also professionally and creatively. Yes, because more than "selling things", we want to add value and make every adventure worth embarking on, inaugurating a new style in Brazilian literature. They are frank and pretentious longings, it is true, but they are not asking anyone for permission to exist: they already are. Believe me, you didn't get here by chance ... so be welcome: take your seat and enjoy the trip! "If you are the big tree, we are the small axe, sharpened to cut you down, ready to cut you down" (Small Axe - music by Bob Marley)

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2014Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530
by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small
This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

The end of the small party?
Change UK and the challenges of parliamentary politics
by Louise Thompson
For a brief moment in 2019 Britain's politics looked like it might be transformed. Just when it seemed that the divisions within and across British political parties over Brexit could not get any more intense, 7 Labour and 3 Conservative MPs broke away to form The Independent Group (TIG) - later Change UK. This is the first book to explore the meteoric lifespan of that party, within the wider context of the experiences of other small political groupings in the House of Commons. Ultimately, it shows why the party failed and disbanded after just a few months. Timely and thoroughly researched, Louise Thompson's book takes us deep inside the struggles facing MPs who leave behind the comforts of the large political parties. Drawing on interviews with current and former politicians, it explores the practicalities of being a small party MP in the Commons. What challenges face you? Who can you turn to? And just how can you make an impact? Crisply written for the non-specialist reader, this fascinating book opens a window onto the perilous world of parliamentary politics.

August 2004Starlite Terrace
by Patrick Roth
Starlite Terrace – so heißt ein altes Apartmentgebäude um einen beleuchteten Swimmingpool in Los Angeles. Im Laufe eines Jahres erzählen vier seiner Bewohner – Rex, Moss, Gary und June – ihre aufeinander bezogenen Geschichten. Der Mann an Noahs Fenster, Rex, erzählt scheinbar nur von seinem Vater, der Gary Cooper in »Zwölf Uhr mittags« gedoubelt haben soll, aber er kündigt auch den »Tod des Königs«, das Ende unserer Zeit und des herrschenden Bewußtseins an. – Moss McCloud, der in Angst vor dem nächsten Holocaust lebt, erwartet in Sonnenfinsternis den Besuch seiner Tochter, die vor vierzig Jahren in New York entführt worden war und deren Spur er bis nach Los Angeles folgte. – Gary, ein Schlagzeuger und christlicher Fundamentalist, der den Turtles-Hit »Happy Together« in den sechziger Jahren gespielt haben könnte, sucht in Reiter auf dem Sturm einen Weg aus persönlicher Schuld, sich durch Liebe im Untergang noch zu retten. – Und Die Frau im Sternenmeer, June, Ex-Sekretärin in Hollywood, deren Mann sie zur Zeit ihrer größten Krise mit einem Starlet namens Marilyn Monroe betrog, überlebt das Leben. Neugeboren taucht sie aus ihrer Asche im Pool des Starlite Terrace hervor.In vier Geschichtskaskaden entfaltet Patrick Roth eine Welt, in die das Unerwartete einbricht und auf seltsam eigene Weise die Wirk-lichkeit verwandelt, die eben noch definiert und festzustehen schien. Starlite Terrace erzählt von Wundern im Alltäglichen.
