Focus on the split personality and the unconscious urges of evil which are stronger than the power of good is something that makes the popularity of Robert Luis Stevenson, D-r. Jekil and Mister Hyde constantly high. This book is not only classical but also an icon of the popular culture with 20 films based on the story.

Edgar Alan Poe's Red Death Mask, brings selection of nine stories by this genius of the short story. His stories are regarded as prime movers of the detective genre and are full of gothic elements. They are especially valued for the development of the phantasy genre.
In 20/21-century edition we have published the books by Svetlana Slapsak Women Icons of XX century and Dejan Jovic the reasons of dissolution of SFRJ. Svetlana Slapsak's Women Icons of XX century is interesting, subversive and provocative reading of some of the dominant "icons" of the women from XX century. The reasons of dissolution of SFRJ with a popular scientific style and with use of historical material as well archive sources are trying to elaborate the ideological, economical, ethnic, cultural and juridical reasons why Yugoslavia as an ideological construct has died.

Picture book Something Else offers a language that functions and operates with the tools of what is called "open work" and is equally successful on two levels: on a visual and on a level of language. From one side there is very simplified, acceptable language structure, and from the other it attacks extraordinary psychological compoundness and vivacity of the visually and discursively described situations, which openly, clearly and attentively problematize every delicate aspect that could have not only one child but we all in the symbolic exchange with the world around us.

The last (62) issue of the magazine Margina consists of eight themats: What is to be done with art, The debate on the dissolution of SFRJ, Michael Foucault, Globalization, Yehuda Amihai, Contemporary British short story, Juan Miro and Ingeborg Bachman.
