Do you know any books similar to Head First Java?

Question

Java

I read the book Head First Java, I was very pleased. I understood a lot of java, did the exercises, so the knowledge was very easy to fit in my head. I really liked this book, the presentation of the material, non-standard approach, but at the same time a good preparation for more "adult literature". Can you suggest me something also easy to read, but about more serious things like? I am interested in libraries, GUI, working with OpenGL and in general everything that is useful further in coding. I would be very grateful for help.
PS Please suggest books that have translation into Russian
