“Ils sont fous, ces Romains!” (“These Romans are crazy!”)
― Obelix

The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders... Coming back to present time, 2026, the last we heard, the Gauls, especially Asterix, Obelix and their trusty companion, Dogmatix can be found at all of our bookstores at Forum the Shopping Mall, New Bahru and East Coast Road.

Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay. Every guest has unique needs. Anger, for example, is very loud and needs plenty of space to scream and shout. Sadness speaks in a small voice and occasionally floods the bathroom. Gratitude likes wandering about in nature; you never know when she might come and sit by your side.

Sometimes the hotel gets very busy – feelings big and small check in and out. It can be tempting to turn the more difficult feelings away or try to change them into new feelings, but you have to give them space to come and go in their own time, because all feelings are just passing through.

At the Grand Hotel of Feelings, there is room for everyone!

Have you “Culture Pass” already?!?! If you have not, take this opportunity to catch up on one of Singapore’s “Sherlock Holmes”, lawyer by profession, and mystery solver by chance, Dennis Chiang. Come and relive the heady days of when Singapore was still in the grip of British colonialism, and watch the passing of time as WWII comes knocking through the Straits Settlement. As time ebbs and flows, new challenges arise for the young lawyer as he navigates between new Japanese masters, and assumes the role of an undercover operative for the British. Together with Dennis Chiang, you will be the ringside audience, and witness the growing sparks of independence, and a new nation.

All featured titles are eligible for Culture Pass credits redemption:
The Advocate’s Devil - Book 1
