The World After Rain
‘How incandescent the language is, each line emitting light through the membrane of time and anticipated grief. The work has a rigorousness, the poet pushing through the ache of experience from the first to the last word.’ Dionne BrandIn her signature epic vision, Canisia Lubrin distills a radiant elegy for her mother along an interwoven and unresolvable axis of astonishment, belonging as much to history as to today. Grief, tender and searing, is the channel through which the poet refracts the realm of contemporary life to reveal the paradox of its private and public entanglements. This is poetry of haunting gravity and resonance, with meditations on love, time, and loss, at once meticulously far-seeing, interior and inexpressible.

Kétszáz éves szerelem - Éldekorált kiadás
Szentirmai Róza családjában a bábamesterség anyáról lányára szálló tudomány – őt is szívesen hívják a falubeliek, ha gyermek érkezik a házhoz. De ismer gyógyírt a női test és lélek minden bajára, kezében van a csábítás és a testi örömök fokozására szolgáló csodaszerek titka, ahogy az összetört szívek balzsama is, férfinak, nőnek egyaránt. Az a szóbeszéd járja, hogy tudása nem e világi: felmenői között boszorkány is akadt.
Egy napon Rózát furcsa, valóságosnak tűnő álomból ébresztik. Míg álmában máglyára vetették, a valóságban a háza ég le. Bár fiával sértetlenül megmenekülnek, hamuvá és porrá lett életükből semmi más nem marad, csak egy bordó, bőrkötéses könyv – egy hosszú évszázadokat átfogó napló, amely a semmiből került elő, benne egy üzenettel. Róza késztetést érez, hogy beleírjon egy kérdést a bordó könyvbe, és megdöbbentő módon válasz érkezik. Válasz – kétszáz évvel korábbról. Róza kíváncsian ered útnak, hogy megtudja, ki írhatta a sorokat. Miközben az árvíz után újjászülető Szeged utcáit járja a könyvvel a kezében, egyre többet tud meg egy olyan világról, amelynek már a nyomai is csak az emlékezetben élnek. A könyv sorai az egykori Boszorkányszigetre vezetik, ahol a fák és gyomok között meghallja a múlt suttogását, a talpa alatt érzi az egykori máglyák hamujának perzselő érintését.
BAUER BARBARA regénye egy évszázadokon átívelő, mágikus szerelem története, amelyben párhuzamosan elevenedik meg a híres szegedi boszorkányperek sötét időszaka és a két világháború közötti Magyarország falusi valósága. A nagy kérdések – mit jelent nőnek lenni, mi kell a boldogsághoz, az igaz szerelemhez – talán minden korban ugyanazok. Egy azonban biztos: mindezekhez férfi kell, mégpedig az igazi!

Vészesen apad a Tó. Vajon miért? Rév Fülöp, a lovaglegény a Litéri sárkány hátára pattan, hogy kiderítse. A nyomok Nagylapály birodalmába vezetnek, ahol találkozunk Nyár Lőrinccel, Zivatarzug lovagjaival, Hötödik Hőbörödött királlyal, és a világ legpimaszabb leányzójával, akire nem lehet haragudni. Kiderül, mi van a Mély Kút mélyén, és hogy miért nincs tó, ha van.
Tiny Gardens Everywhere
In the heart of bustling European and American cities lies an overlooked yet vibrant corner of resilience, ingenuity and magic: our gardens.
From pre-industrial England to modern-day Ohio, via the Paris Commune, Barackia in pre-war Berlin, Soviet allotments in Estonia, the orchards tended by Black migrants in Washington and food forests in contemporary Amsterdam, ordinary people, working with each other and with nature, cultivated life in the unlikeliest of places. Over the past three hundred years, these tiny gardens, often born from necessity and shaped by precarity, immigration and environmental crisis, have thrived by recycling nutrients, remedying contaminated soil and transforming how we think about our relationship to the earth.
Tiny Gardens Everywhere is a hymn to the most fertile agriculture in recorded human history, showing that it occurred not on farms - the product of gigantic exertions of fossil fuels and technology - but with little effort in small garden beds. And the resourcefulness, intuition and inherited methods of their growers accomplished many of today's sustainability goals by producing local, diverse and organic food.
Acclaimed historian Kate Brown unearths the long and battered story of gardeners and their gardens, asking what happens when these urban Edens are not seen as retreats from the city but become part of its social fabric, alive with histories of displacement, conflict and resistance. This is a book about land, but also about community, repair and the quiet revolutions that begin when someone plants a seed in unloved ground.
On Morrison
Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate and most beloved of writers, has inspired generations of readers. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Namwali Serpell puts it, 'she is our only truly canonical black, female writer - and her work is highly complex.' In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and professor to illuminate Toni Morrison's masterful experiments with literary form.
This is Morrison as you've never encountered her before, a journey through her vivid fiction and criticism, as well as her lesser-known dramatic works and poetry - with contextual guidance and original close readings. Accessible and thrillingly rigorous, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read one of the most significant American authors of our time, but how to approach any great work of literature. The conversation between the two black women artist-readers that rises from these pages is stylish, edifying and spectacular in its scope and erudition.

Tir
In Tir – the Welsh word for ‘land’ – writer and ecologist Carwyn Graves takes us on a tour of seven key elements of the Welsh landscape, such as the ffridd, or mountain pasture, and the rhos, or wild moorland. By diving deep into the history and ecology of each of these landscapes, we discover that Wales, in all its beautiful variety, is at base just as much a human cultural creation as a natural phenomenon: its raw materials evolved alongside the humans that have lived here since the ice receded. In our modern era of climate concerns and polarised debates on land use, diet and more, it matters that we understand the world we are in and the roads we travelled to get here. By exploring each of these key landscapes and meeting the people who live, work and farm in them, Tir offers hope for a better future; one with stunningly beautiful, richly biodiverse landscapes that are ten times richer in wildlife than they currently are, and still full of humans working the land.
