The Odyssey
With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike - a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.
Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original.
The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

This is Dr Marine's love letter to where she came from; the French pharmacy shelves, the handwritten beauty tips and quiet rituals that shaped her view of skincare as self-care.
Queer Art (Art Essentials)
A concise, accessible and global overview of modern and contemporary queer art, co-written by notable curators in the field.
Queer Art is a commanding compendium of LGBTQIA+ art that highlights its ongoing resilience from the 19th century to the present day. Spanning generations and geographies, Queer Art's carefully curated selection of practitioners paints a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, underscoring the complexity of lived experience and cutting through the basic understanding of the subject that seeks to measure 'queerness' against overt homoeroticism and proven homosexuality.
Queer art curators Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley begin by exploring how resilience has shaped artistic expression, establishing the historical backdrop against which queer art has evolved. From liberation to intersectionality, reclamation to futurism, four thematic chapters unpack the key concerns of queer art as they relate to the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein and Xiyadie. By exploring the notion of 'queer art' through the lens of both historical figures and contemporary practitioners, Queer Art adopts a dual focus, traversing the past and present to reflect on covert histories whilst imagining radical futures in which art not only reflects but shapes social norms.
How to Get Rich the American Way
How to Get Rich the American Way is based on years of in-depth research by a contrarian academic who become rich himself while developing the book's theories, learning the history of real estate investing, stock trading, get-rich-quick schemes, and financial gurus.
From Nigerian prince scams to the investment manuals of housewives, from the destruction of African Americans' savings in the Freedman's Bank to the surprisingly long history of failing to teach children about money, and from the wit of Benjamin Franklin to the fraud of $0 down real estate infomercials, How to Get Rich the American Way brings an eclectic set of stories to bear on the financial destinies of everyday people. Each chapter includes anecdotes from the author's economic journey, including tales of wild investment ideas, get-rich-quick seminars, and his decade long-quest to apply the lessons of history to his own finances. By the end, to his own very great surprise, he is now a multi-millionaire.
Accessibly written with short, punchy chapters, the book is a thoughtful, realistic, and ultimately encouraging read on the prospects of getting by and getting ahead.

Football Hackers
The future of football is now.
Football's data revolution has only just begun. The arrival of advanced metrics and detailed analysis is already reshaping the modern game. We can now fully assess player performance, analyse the role of luck and measure what really leads to victory. There is no turning back.
Now the race is on between football's wealthiest clubs and a group of outsiders, nerds and rule-breakers, who are turning the game on its head with their staggering innovations. Winning is no longer just about what happens out on the pitch, it's now a battle taking place in boardrooms and on screens across international borders with the world's brightest minds driving for an edge over their fiercest rivals.
Christoph Biermann has moved in the midst of these disruptive upheavals, talking to scientists, coaches, managers, scouts and psychologists in the world's major clubs, traveling across Europe and the US and revealing the hidden - and often jaw-dropping - truths behind the beautiful game.
Notes to John
A recently discovered journal from one of America's most iconic writers, Joan Didion, the author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights.
A pile of neatly typed pages was found in Joan Didion's office after her death. She had meticulously recorded her weekly sessions with a psychiatrist. As far as anyone knows, the pages had been read by only one other person: Didion's husband, John Gregory Dunne.
The sessions began as a method of dealing with the heartbreaking alcoholism of their adult daughter, Quintana. Discussions broadened into revelations about Didion's own childhood, longstanding behaviour patterns, marriage, guilt, work and 'what's been worth'.
Writing was the way Didion dealt with life. Notes to John presents a riveting account of the therapeutic process, crafted with the singular intelligence, precision and elegance that characterise all of her work.

Boots Beneath Her Bed
Grace Underwood has been keeping a dark secret from the day her parents died. Only her ruthless uncle Bellamy knows the truth, and he’s been using it against her ever since.
When his cruelty pushes her too far, Grace decides to walk away from her family for good and take a job as a horse trainer at Halcyon Ranch. It’s a chance to start over. That is, if the owner’s son, Crew Caldwell, doesn’t stand in her way.
Crew doesn’t trust outsiders, especially one from Bellamy's bloodline. But Grace's undeniable gift with horses slowly wins over the other ranch hands and even Crew - the one man she shouldn’t want but can’t seem to ignore.
As the tension between them grows, so does the risk of Grace’s secret unravelling. And with her uncle's threats still looming, she’ll have to decide whether she’s willing to fight for the only place - and the only man - that’s ever felt like home.

I'll Take the Fire
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR'Leila Slimani has a knack for breaking taboos.' TIMES'Slimani is a fearless writer.' EVENING STANDARDQ: If your house was burning down, what would you take with yo? : I'd take the fire. This is the story of two sisters, Mia and Inés. Two girls enveloped in love, trapped by the social conventions of Casablanca at the dawn of the twenty-first century and silenced by the political 'truths' that envelop their lives. Mia - the eldest, a warrior and a pariah, her sexuality a matter of scorn, something to be erased. Inés - the youngest, a woman trying to carve out an identity in a Paris that derides and erases her, with no way back to Morocco, a homeland to which her father has warned her never to return, for her own sake. As these sisters struggle to find a home - a place of safety and love that holds rather than binds - their lives as framed by their mothers and grandmothers before them will be a battle for their hearts and souls, and one they take on with every sinew of their being. 'We feel deeply for the family caught in the middle of the conflict of history.' SALMAN RUSHDIE, on The Country of Others
