Our Last Resort
*A HOLIDAY TO REMEMBER. A DARK PAST SHE CAN’T FORGET. ‘One of the most daring, exciting new voices in psychological suspense.’ Lisa Jewell‘Dripping with suspense that keeps you guessing’ The Sun‘Michallon masterfully weaves past cult abuse into a taut present-day procedural, blending psychological complexity with enough terror to make you white-knuckle your beach chair’ Oprah DailyFrom the bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant comes a compulsive new psychological thriller – the perfect holiday readFifteen years ago, Frida and her brother Gabriel escaped from a cult. Once so close they were able to finish each other’s sentences, a sudden, unspeakable tragedy caused them to drift apart. Now, on holiday at the stunningly luxurious Ara Hotel, they finally have a chance to reconnect between dips in the pool and hikes on spectacular desert trails. It all feels like paradise – until a young woman is found dead. When the local police arrive and put the resort into lockdown, Gabriel becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. At first Frida’s belief in his innocence is unwavering – but as the evidence mounts against him, she is forced to confront long-buried memories from their traumatic upbringing, their dramatic escape, and the secret they swore to keep forever. Alternating between past and present timelines, the plot builds toward a shattering climax that uncovers the fate of the murdered Ara guest and reveals the shocking past that Gabriel and Frida have been hiding for years. Taut, gripping, and intense, Clémence Michallon’s Our Last Resort is a nail-biter that keeps you guessing until the final page, cementing her status as a major new talent in the genre. ______________________________________________‘With a chilling cult backstory that feels ripped from the headlines and a complicated heroine you can't help rooting for, Our Last Resort is both an immersive mystery and a haunting exploration of just how far we'll go to protect those we hold most dear.’ Andrea Bartz, author of We Were Never Here and The Last Ferry Out
Sodom and Gomorrah
'the metamorphosis of Monsieur de Charlus into a new person was so complete that... everything which had appeared incoherent to me until then, was becoming intelligible, and self-evident'The fourth volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time extends the protagonist's journey of discovery into the social world of fin-de-siecle France. As the biblically inflected title, Sodom and Gomorrah, suggests, however, this world has taken on a new colouring. Through a succession of observations--both voyeuristic and overt--Proust's protagonist encounters and begins to appreciate the great diversity of sexual identities and proclivities that underpin human relations. At the heart of this volume that buzzes with chatter, gossip, and position-taking, is the Baron de Charlus, whose relationship with the working-class Charlie Morel is a central preoccupation of the narrative. This volume lays bare the ways in which ambitions and desires are nurtured, projected, masked, and exposed. Suffering, in love, is rarely far away. Sodom and Gomorrah explores frictions between the social classes via the Verdurins' upward climb and the ways in which the impulses of desire can cut across society's arbitrary boundaries. The narrator recounts his retrospective devastation at the death of his grandmother, and while his connection to Albertine deepens, it is his uncertainty about the true nature of her sexual identity that binds him closer to her, leading to a fraught denouement that paves the way for the next, fateful phase of their relationship. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Rivers Run
LONGLISTED FOR THE INAUGURAL RICHARD JEFFERIES AWARD FOR NATURE WRITING‘A master of the landscape and a celebration of a life lived with the wild’ – Dan Kieran, author of The Idle Traveller‘[Parr] writes beautifully ... gentle, often elegiac ... There is much pleasure to be taken from this book’ - Tom Fort, Gamefisher‘Yet, sitting here at the beginning of that journey, I realise there is a different path I must follow. This entails not a simple exploration of a single river, or the fish I might catch from it, but an understanding of what it is that makes someone an angler – what it is that makes me an angler. … Although I don’t always need a rod in my hand to feel as if I belong by the riverside, it was angling that helped open my eyes. And as I sit here, I can hear the river calling me, bubbling up from deep underground, sharing its secrets.’From childhood memories of an Exmoor stream and of the Itchen during difficult teenage years, to finding solace on the banks of the Kennet and the catharsis of a storm on the Jurassic Coast, Rivers Run is a love letter from Kevin Parr to the rivers and waterways that shaped him. It is a book about fishing. But it’s also a book about living, surviving the difficult times and remembering to breathe. ‘A moving treatise on the way we deal with the dark things that life throws at us’ - BBC Countryfile magazine‘I very much enjoyed this book ... thoughtful and interesting’ - Mark Avery, author of Inglorious

Wolverine: Weapon X
Explore the Stories Behind the LegendsNaked, bloody, and screaming in pain - this is the Wolverine that faced readers in the story arc Weapon X. This was more than just the tale of how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton and claws. Legendary creator Barry Windsor-Smith challenged fans’ expectations of super hero stories and created Marvel’s most brutal and beautiful comic. In 1991, when Weapon X was first published, Wolverine was one of Marvel’s most popular super heroes. For Weapon X, creator Windsor-Smith reimagined the super hero origin story as a cyberpunk horror story. A shadowy organization abducts Wolverine in order to create “the ultimate killing machine,” and we are plunged into a story of basic, animalistic survival. As Wolverine endures more and more trauma, the lines between reality and consciousness disappear. Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary storyline, Jim Rugg’s entry in The Marvel Age of Comics takes a deep-dive into one of Marvel’s most experimental and singular comics, and what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine story.

Le Samourai
In this compelling study, Daisuke Miyao explores Jean-Pierre Melville's cult 1967 thriller Le Samourai, a film that unfolds in a coolly stylised Paris where the paths of a contract killer, Jef Costello (Alain Delon), and the police commissaire pursuing him (François Périer) fatally intersect. Despite its title, Le Samourai, is not a sword-clashing tale of feudal Japan. Rather, Miyao suggests that the film's philosophical framework draws on both existentialism and the samurai moral philosophy of bushido, or 'the way of the warrior', and considers how these philosophies may help explain Jef Costello's identity crisis and his concluding act of self-annihilation. In a close analysis of Melville's technical and aesthetic decisions, Miyao highlights the film's use of close-ups to convey or mask emotion, the play of light and shadow, and the function of flashbacks and dream sequences in the narrative, as well as the meanings of Costello's pet bullfinch. Setting Le Samourai within the shifting landscape of post-war French cinema, Miyao traces its dialogue with Hollywood film noir and Japanese art cinema, particularly Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950), suggesting that both genres informed and influenced Melville's film-making. Finally, Miyao discusses the film’s enduring legacy, from Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) to Yoko M.’s 2020 novella Jef, a prequel to the film.
