The Usual Gang of Idiots, as their writers and artists have long called themselves, brilliantly satirize politics, celebrities, movies, television, advertising, music and more. (They've never been above a cheap gag or a horrific pun, either.) Totally MAD is a celebration of this cultural touchstone and includes such classics as Spy vs. Spy, Al Jaffee's The MAD Fold-in, Sergio Aragones' A MAD Look At... Dave Berg's The Lighter Side of... Planet Tad, The MAD Strip Club, The Fundalini Pages, the spectacular movie and TV satires of Mort Drucker, Jack Davis and Tom Richmond plus the outrageous artwork of Don Martin and Drew Friedman. Specially complied by the staff of MAD, each page is lavishly illustrated by many of the world's greatest cartoonists and humorous illustrators. Whether you grew up with MAD in the 50s, 60s or 70s, reading it under the covers with a flashlight so your parents wouldn't catch you, or in the 80s, 90s and beyond, reading it while watching the MAD TV shows on Fox and Cartoon Network, this book will bring back great memories and create new ones. |

From the best-selling author of The Name of the Rose and The Prague Cemetery, a novel about the murky world of media politics, conspiracy, and murder. A newspaper committed to blackmail and mud slinging, rather than reporting the news. A paranoid editor, walking through the streets of Milan, reconstructing fifty years of history against the backdrop of a plot involving the cadaver of Mussolini's double. The murder of Pope John Paul I, the CIA, red terrorists handled by secret services, twenty years ofbloodshed, and events that seem outlandish until the BBC proves them true. A fragile love story between two born losers, a failed ghost writer, and a vulnerable girl, who specializes in celebrity gossip yet cries over the second movement of Beethoven's Seventh. And then a dead body that suddenly appears in a back alley in Milan. Set in 1992 and foreshadowing the mysteries and follies of the following twenty years, Numero Zero is a scintillating take on our times from the best-selling author of The Nameof the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum. |

As part of Back Bay's ongoing effort to make the works of John Fowles available in uniform trade paperback editions, two major works in the Fowles canon are reissued to coincide with the publication of Wormholes, the author's long-awaited new collection of essays and occasional writings. Perhaps the most beloved of Fowles's internationally bestselling works, The French Lieutenant's Woman is a feat of seductive storytelling that effectively invents anew the Victorian novel. Filled with enchanting mysteries and magically erotic possibilities (New York Times), the novel inspired the hugely successful 1981 film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons and is today universally regarded as a modern classic. In A Maggot, originally published in 1985, Fowles reaches back to the eighteenth century to offer readers a glimpse into the future. Time magazine called the result hypnotic... A remarkable achievement. Part detective story, part crackling courtroom drama... An immensely rich and readable novel. |

With such iconic films as the Oscar-winning Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2, and Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino has become the most famous and revered writer/director of his generation. Now he's back with his most ambitious movie yet: the World War II epic Inglourious Basterds. Starring Brad Pitt and filmed on location in Germany and France, it has the largest cast of characters of any Tarantino film to date. The movie will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009. The action tale follows the parallel story of a guerilla-like squad of American soldiers called The Basterds and the French Jewish teenage girl Shosanna who find themselves behind enemy Nazi lines during the German occupation. When the Inglourious Basterds encounter Shosanna at a propaganda screening at the movie house she runs, they conspire to launch an unexpected plot to end the war. Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine — the leader of the Basterds. Raine is an illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to hunt down the Nazis. Filled with Tarantino's trademark electric dialogue and thrilling action sequences, Inglourious Basterds is destined to become one of the most talked about films of 2009 and a landmark in cinematic history. |
