Love at Six Thousand Degrees
A housewife finds herself haunted by visions of a mushroom cloud. She abruptly leaves her husband and son to travel alone to the city of Nagasaki, where she soon begins an affair with a young Russian-Japanese man. Inspired by Marguerite Duras's screenplay for "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," this novel is an undeniable demonstration of Kashimada's distinctive voice, the polish and precision of her literary style, and her dedication to plumbing the depths of her characters' psychology. Thrilling and poised in equal measure, dealing with the travails of history, with gendered identity, and with the tension between private and public selves, Love at Six Thousand Degrees is a literary highwire act by one of the most unique voices in contemporary Japanese fiction.
Wifedom
Looking for wonder and some reprieve from the everyday, Anna Funder slips into the pages of her hero George Orwell. As she watches him create his writing self, she tries to remember her own...
When she uncovers his forgotten wife, it's a revelation. Eileen O'Shaughnessy's literary brilliance shaped Orwell's work and her practical nous saved his life. But why - and how - was she written out of the story?
Using newly discovered letters from Eileen to her best friend, Funder recreates the Orwells' marriage, through the Spanish Civil War and WW II in London. As she rolls up the screen concealing Orwell's private life she is led to question what it takes to be a writer - and what it is to be a wife.
Compelling and utterly original, Wifedom speaks to the unsung work of women everywhere today, while offering a breathtakingly intimate view of one of the most important literary marriages of the 20th century. It is a book that speaks to our present moment as much as it illuminates the past.
Gay Bar: Why We Went Out
As gay bars continue to close at an alarming rate, a writer looks back to find out what’s being lost in this intimate, stylish, and indispensible celebration of queer history.
Strobing lights and dark rooms; throbbing house and drag queens on counters; first kisses, last the gay bar has long been a place of solidarity and sexual expression—whatever your scene, whoever you’re seeking. But in urban centers around the world, they are closing, a cultural demolition that has Jeremy Atherton Lin What was the gay bar? How have they shaped him? And could this spell the end of gay identity as we know it?
In Gay Bar, the author embarks upon a transatlantic tour of the hangouts that marked his life, with each club, pub, and dive revealing itself to be a palimpsest of queer history. In prose as exuberant as a hit of poppers and dazzling as a disco ball, he time-travels from Hollywood nights in the 1970s to a warren of cruising tunnels built beneath London in the 1770s; from chichi bars in the aftermath of AIDS to today’s fluid queer spaces; through glory holes, into Crisco-slicked dungeons and down San Francisco alleys. He charts police raids and riots, posing and passing out—and a chance encounter one restless night that would change his life forever.
The journey that emerges is a stylish and nuanced inquiry into the connection between place and identity—a tale of liberation, but one that invites us to go beyond the simplified Stonewall mythology and enter lesser-known battlefields in the struggle to carve out a territory. Elegiac, randy, and sparkling with wry wit, Gay Bar is at once a serious critical inquiry, a love story and an epic night out to remember.

Milena Jesenská
V osudu české novinářky Mileny Jesenské (1896–1944) se takřka doslovně zrcadlí všechny proměny a zvraty, očekávání a zklamání první poloviny minulého století. Dcera známého pražského lékaře, absolventka Minervy, prvního dívčího gymnázia v monarchii, zažívá ve Vídni rozpad Rakouska-Uherska, po svém návratu do Prahy se stává souputnicí české meziválečné avantgardy a jako redaktorka Národních listů se zapojuje do úsilí o moderní životní styl. Ve třicátých letech se přiklání ke komunistické straně, brzy však o správnosti její ideologie začíná pochybovat a rozejde se s ní. Silné sociální cítění nicméně nadále zůstává výrazným rysem Mileniny osobnosti. Na stránkách slavné Peroutkovy Přítomnosti pak Jesenská dosahuje vrcholu své žurnalistické dráhy. Po „Mnichovu“ a během okupace pomáhá uprchlíkům a působí i v odboji. Umírá v koncentračním táboře Ravensbrück. Aktualizované a doplněné vydání knihy přední české socioložky a literátky doprovází bohatá obrazová příloha.
The Complete Fiction
Throughout her short but brilliant literary career, Nell Larsen wrote piercing dramas about the black middle class that featured sensitive, spirited heroines struggling to find a place where they belong. Passing is a disturbing story about the unravelling lives of two childhood friends, one of whom turns her back on her past and marries a white racist. Just as disquieting is the portrait in Quicksand of biracial Helga Crane, who is unable to escape her loneliness no matter where and with whom she lives.Race and marriage offer few securities here or in the other stories in this compulsively readable collection, rich in psychological complexities and imbued with a vibrant sense of place - be it 1920s Harlem, Chicago, or Copenhagen.

A pusztai hercegnő
"Claudius úr huszonegy éves fiatalember volt akkor, telve szenvedéllyel s rajongással? Egy nõt szeretett, oly forrón, hogy én nem vagyok képes azt Önnek leírni. Volt egy barátja, kit egész bizalmával megajándékozott, s kiért nagyon sokat áldozott. Egy napon arra a meggyõzõdésre kellett jutnia, hogy a nõ és a barát megcsalták, hogy mindkettõ hûtlen lett hozzá. Ezt a férfiak szokása szerint csak vér moshatta le. Párbajt vívtak az áruló asszony miatt, s a barát egy lövést kapott a vállába. A seb magában véve nem volt ugyan veszélyes, ám az elgyengült szervezet cserbenhagyta õt. Dacára a legkitûnõbb orvosok fáradozásainak, többheti ágyban fekvés után meghalt? ? De hát a nõ, a nõ? ? Igen, a nõ. Õ is elhagyta Claudius urat. Egy angollal utazott el."

Stuffed
In times of plenty, we stuff ourselves. When the food runs out, we're stuffed too. How have people in the British Isles shared the riches from our fields, dairies, kitchens and seas, as well as those from around the world? And when the cupboard is bare, who steps up to the plate to feed the nation's hungry children, soldiers at war or families in crisis?
Stuffed tells the stories of the food and drink at the centre of social upheavals from prehistory to the present: the medieval inns boosted by the plague; the Enclosures that finished off the celebratory roast goose; the Victorian chemist searching for unadulterated mustard; the post-war supermarkets luring customers with strawberries. Drawing on cookbooks, literature and social records, Pen Vogler reveals how these turning points have led to today's extremes of plenty and want: roast beef and food banks; allotment-fresh vegetables and ultra-processed fillers.
It is a tale of feast and famine, and of the traditions, the ideas and the laws which have fed - or starved - the nation, but also of the yeasty magic of bread and ale, the thrill of sugary treats, the pies and puddings that punctuate the year, and why the British would give anything - even North America - for a nice cup of tea.

The Deadline - Essays
A book to be read and kept for posterity, The Deadline is the art of the essay at its best.
Few, if any, historians have brought such insight, wisdom, and empathy to public discourse as Jill Lepore. Arriving at The New Yorker in 2005, Lepore, with her panoptical range and razor-sharp style, brought a transporting freshness and a literary vivacity to everything from profiles of long-dead writers to urgent constitutional analysis to an unsparing scrutiny of the woeful affairs of the nation itself. The astonishing essays collected in The Deadline offer a prismatic portrait of Americans’ techno-utopianism, frantic fractiousness, and unprecedented?but armed?aimlessness. From lockdowns and race commissions to Bratz dolls and bicycles, to the losses that haunt Lepore’s life, these essays again and again cross what she calls the deadline, the “river of time that divides the quick from the dead.” Echoing Gore Vidal’s United States in its massive intellectual erudition, The Deadline, with its remarkable juxtaposition of the political and the personal, challenges the very nature of the essay?and of history?itself.

The Last Hero
Pratchett's perceptive and laugh-out-loud Discworld series is a literary phenomenon. And in The Last Hero, one aging hero with a grudge decides enough is enough. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Paul Kidby.
A brand-new paperback edition of The Last Hero, featuring a new text design, glorious illustrations by Paul Kidby, and a brand-new cover by artist Leo Nicholls.
It stars the legendary Cohen the Barbarian, a legend in his own lifetime. Cohen can remember when a hero didn't have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn't tell you off for killing dragons. But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth...
So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends - and they're very old friends - Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance.
That'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.
Üzletek kialakítása
Hogyan rendezzük be üzletünket? Ez a kötet sok praktikus ötletet ad az üzlethelyiség kialakításához, miközben a lehető legkevesebb elméletet és idegen kifejezést tartalmaz. Ez is lehetne a könyv mottója: "Minimum elmélet, maximum gyakorlat!" A könyvet olvasva bejárjuk az üzletet, az üzlet közvetlen környékétől kezdve, az ajtó típusát meghatározva, egészen annak a kérdésnek a tisztázásáig, hogy a polcokon a különböző árukat hogyan kell elhelyezni, miközben nagyszámú ábra és táblázat segíti a megértést.
Bodzaszörp - Mesék nagymamákról és nagypapákról
Vannak bizonyos színek, illatok, hangok, melyeket a nagyszüleinkhez kapcsolunk. A cseresznye pirosa, a bodza illata, vagy a lágy dúdolás, amivel a mama álomba ringat. A nagyszülők olyan szeretetet tudnak adni, melyet senki más, mégis talán méltatlanul kevés történet szól róluk.
Ebben a könyvben viszont minden mese nekik tiszteleg. Hiszen ők is segíthetnek az unokájuknak, ha fél, dühös, vagy ha úgy érzi, már soha nem tud örülni. Ők lehetnek a támaszok egy válásnál, csúfolásnál, egy barát költözésénél. Vagy épp társak, mondjuk, a lombházépítésben. Arra is fény derül, milyen mókásak tudnak lenni a nagyszülők.
Milyen jó, amikor a szülők szülei is ott vannak, ha szükség van rájuk. Ezzel a néhány mesével szeretnénk megköszönni nekik azt a rengeteg gondoskodást, amivel a gyerekeket - unokákat és szüleiket is - támogatják.
A történetek az érzelmek és a szeretet kertjébe vezetnek, ahol Bogdán Viki szívmelengető illusztrációi kísérik végig az olvasót.
