Page: 120
Price: 195 Baht (soft cover) / 495 (hard cover)Based on the world-renounced novel of Antoine de St-Exupéry, The Little Prince has once again visited the literary world. This time, in the form of a graphic novel by Joann Sfar, a young-blood French comic artist and book creator who wrote Chat du Rabbin. The story is about the little prince from a small faraway star who owned a couple of volcanoes and one special rose. Her arrogant and self-center made him confused and he left his star in search of the true meaning of friendship. During his journey, the little prince met several people: a drunk, a business man, a king, a conceited man, a geographer and a lamplighter, but found no answer. Finally, he arrived the planet earth. He met the fox and so many roses that looked so much like his special one. And that made him even more confused. However, with an agreement to tame the fox upon his request, the little prince has learned, finally, the true meaning of friendship and the things that make his rose different from others. Before leaving the earth, his thoughtfulness and his love for the rose deeply impressed the pilot who had landed on a nearby desert in a plane accident. And this pilot is the one who tells the tale. |

Lab Fun Dee means Good-Night Sleep
A raw, pure, fine series of bed-time stories, mixed without sugar, color, odor but with pure happiness of the writer for a very good night sleep. With so many factors impeding us to reach our goals, we would sometimes love to escape into the dream world?even though in such world, we would not get all we love to get. Sometimes, we could be an unlucky guy who was abducted by a group of aliens with banana-shaped weapon, end up hungry in an unfortunate restaurant that could not satisfy our humble appetite for two sausages, travel to the future trial when all men and animals are equal, fight in a boxing stage for the virtue and dignity of a fighter, and say no to our dear love just because of the old shame. But who says that a good night sleep would comprise only of 'happy' and 'sweet' dreams. |

Author: Haruki Murakami
Translator: Noppadon Vejsawat
Edition: 1st (August 2008)
Page: 168 pages
Price: 180 Baht
At its center are two sisters?Eri, a fashion model slumbering her way
into oblivion, and Mari, a young student soon led from solitary reading
at an anonymous Denny?s toward people whose lives are radically alien
to her own: a jazz trombonist who claims they?ve met before, a burly
female ?love hotel? manager and her maid staff, and a Chinese
prostitute savagely brutalized by a businessman. These ?night people?
are haunted by secrets and needs that draw them together more
powerfully than the differing circumstances that might keep them apart,
and it soon becomes clear that Eri?s slumber?mysteriously tied to the
businessman plagued by the mark of his crime?will either restore or
annihilate her.
