Frida Kahlo szerelmes levelei


"A szerelem egy illathoz, egy áramlathoz, az esőhöz hasonlatos. Tudod, te vagy az egem, és rám hullasz, és én, mint a föld, befogadlak téged." Frida Kahlo mexikói festőművésznőt elsősorban megejtő, személyes hangvételű képeiről ismerjük. Alkotásaihoz gyakran merített ihletet viharos magánéletéből, és bár évtizedekig a szintén művész Diego Rivera házastársaként élt, mindketten számos viszonyt folytattak. Frida termékeny levélíró volt, és a fennmaradt szövegek tanúsága szerint mind férfiakkal, mind nőkkel tartott fenn romantikus kapcsolatot. Ebben a könyvben magyarul először olvasható válogatás Frida Kahlo szerelmes leveleiből. A címzettek között a férje és mások mellett megtaláljuk első szerelmét, az újságíró Alejandro Gómez Ariast, a magyar-amerikai fényképészt, Nickolas Murayt és a festő Josep Bartolít. A kötetet a levelek fakszimile változatai, Frida és szerelmeinek festményei és archív fotók illusztrálják. Ezek a megható, rajongó, szenvedélyes és esendően emberi levelek nemcsak Frida Kahlo magánéletébe engednek bepillantást, de megmutatják egy inspiráló művész kreativitásának egy eddig talán kevésbé ismert, de éppoly szikrázóan eredeti oldalát is.

One reckless night, Aden opens Coco’s cage, letting her do what he did a decade ago—fly away from home. In a panic, the siblings set off to recover her, armed with only Coco’s tracking chip and the fragile hope they might set things right. What they think will be a quick search and rescue becomes a two-week cross-country road trip, where old grudges resurface, relationships are tested, and long-buried dreams stir awake. As Coco, meanwhile, forges her own path to the past, Aden, Aliza, and Sammy follow—not just the bird, but the possibility of something more: a way back to each other.

Manyunya


Narine és Manyunya az iskolai kórusban találkoznak, amikor egy fellépés során a színpad összeomlik, ők pedig egymásra zuhannak. Innen indul történetük, és ezután egymást érik a feledhetetlen kalandok és csínytevések: a lányok egy nap tetvekkel borítva ébrednek, máskor majdnem lelövik a tesitanárukat, aztán Manyunya halálosan belezúg a frissen házasodott szomszéd fiatalemberbe... A két lány együtt nő fel az örmény kisvárosban, ahol Manyunya legendás nagymamája, Mamó süti a világ legfenségesebb süteményét, a nyarak végtelennek tűnnek, a felnőttek szabályai kijátszhatók - és ahol minden sarkon új történet vár. Narine Abgarjan hatalmas sikerű első regénye még inkább önéletrajzi ihletésű, mint későbbi művei. Nem csupán az írónő gyerekkorának nosztalgikus emlékekből és gyermeki fantáziából újraalkotott világában játszódik, de az Abgarjan család ténylegesen is szereplője sok mókás jelenetnek. Narine és Manyunya kalandjaiban mindenki ráismerhet a barátság varázslatos élményére és arra a különös szabadságra, amit csak gyerekként élhetünk át.
