Dark Night
The profound, hugely influential exploration of spiritual growth and transformation, from one of the great Spanish mystics and poets
'Oh living flame of love,
how tenderly you scorch me'
The poetry of the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic, St John of the Cross, has inspired and consoled for hundreds of years, influencing writers from James Joyce to Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill to T. S. Eliot. This new edition of his essential works, in a sensitive and luminous translation by Martha Sprackland, gathers John of the Cross's complete poems and a selection of his prose, including from his extended commentary on the poem 'Dark Night'. In his immediate, sensual writing, we see a soul searching for meaning and union with the divine: both meek and bold, deserving and undeserving, oscillating between light and dark, soaring and falling, desperation and salvation. Dark Night gives us a picture of faith at once confronting and inspiriting, and of the power of words as a means of spiritual transcendence.
Translated by Martha Sprackland, with an Introduction by Colin Thompson

The Home of the Drowned
When their summer settlement is flooded without warning, a family of Sámi women must fight for their way of life in a changing world, in this powerful, haunting novel.
'Heartachingly beautiful' Lisa Ridzén, author of WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH
Every summer, Ingá, her mother Rávdná, and her Aunt ¦nne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Ingá is thirteen, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them.
The Home of the Drowned follows these women's fortunes over forty years - from 1942 to 1982 - as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear.
Defying the authorities, Rávdná decides to build a house on the lake to replace what was lost, becoming an unlikely activist. Meanwhile, ¦nne's health is in decline, and a concerned Ingá merely longs to live like everyone else - an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world.
Elin Anna Labba's debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore, revealing connections between land, water and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home?

The Grey Coast
A compelling, dramatic and deeply psychological story of youthful love and trapped hopes set in the startling landscape of the far North. First published by Jonathan Cape in 1926, this centenary edition celebrates a major talent and the work of one of Scotland’s most important and neglected writers. The wide-open skies, fierce seas and the ever-changing weather of Scotland’s farthest reaches, provides the setting for this gripping and emotionally acute study of young love and youthful ambition and the constraints and violence of a traditional community. Maggie and Ivor struggle to connect in a world that seems fixed on keeping them apart. The Grey Coast is a magnificent novel of land and the people who live upon it. Timeless, uncompromising and exhilarating, this is a work that marks the arrival of a startling new talent. It introduces a host of compelling characters and way of life that – though vastly different to our present age – demand our attention as much now as ever. Gunn is a major Scottish writer with an international reputation; this beautiful new edition aims to re-establish him as a central figure in Scottish letters.
