Timothy Findley

Fiction

First published January 1, 1984

Published in 1984, Not Wanted on the Voyage is one of Timothy Findley's most imaginative and compelling literary fictions. Findley turns to one of our essential myths: the biblical story of the great Flood, but he doesn't so much retell it as take our common knowledge of the Old Testament tale and give it an extraordinary twist. Here we have Dr. Noah Noyes, diabolical conjuror and dictatorial leader of his helpless little boat-bound band, sure of his total superiority as man, husband, and father, imposing his view of the ways of God on his wife and family. The kind and generous Mrs. Noyes stands in direct contrast to her hard-hearted husband, and then there are the Noyes children: strongman Japeth, every inch his father's son, with his delicate wife, Emma; and the sensitive Ham, every inch his mother's, with his mysterious wife, Lucy (a.k.a. Lucifer, who, having escaped from Hell, has decided to align himself with mankind). Findley, a great lover of cats, also gives us the crotchety Mottyl, making her way through her ninth and final life. Not Wanted on the Voyage is poetic and passionate and bursting with a wide-eyed inventiveness, at once a stunningly contemporary attempt at mythmaking, a grand novel of the power of the imagination, and a thoroughly good read. --Jeffrey Canton

Primera part de la trilogía de "JAUME I EL CONQUERIDOR", sense dubte una de les grans obres d'Albert Salvadó.

Pocs regnats han estat tan llargs com el seu. Més de seixanta anys assegut al tron! Tanmateix, per arribar-hi cal lluitar. I no només al camp de batalla. Jaume va haver d´escalar els graons que menen fins al tron, i per fer-ho, abans va haver de rebre l´ensenyament que s´adquireix a l´Escola dels Sons i que només li podia concedir un cavaller proscrit.Què ha dit la crítica?El novel·lista andorrà sap escriure llibres d´èxit... una obra que rescata un personatge clau de la història... Tres llibres indicats per a tot tipus de públics que, com és lògic, havien de ser ben acollits entre els lectors de totes les edats.

Spain

First published January 1, 1997

Роман "Дочь Каннибала", отмеченный в 1997 году литературной премией "Примавера", был признан в Испании самой популярной книгой года. Режиссер Антонио Серрано экранизировал ее, сняв в главной роли знаменитую Сесилию Рот, звезду фильмов Педро Альмодовара.Роман построен на почти детективном сюжете: в аэропорту похищен муж героини; растерянная и испуганная сорокалетняя женщина, не доверяя полиции, начинает собственное расследование. Вместе с нею читатель втягивается в сложную и запутанную историю, участниками которой становятся бывший боевик-анархист, полицейские, судьи и наемные убийцы. Расследование становится все более драматичным и в конце концов погружает героев в мир международной организованной преступности...В круговерти событий героиня переосмысливает свою прежнюю жизнь, по-новому видит окружающий мир, своих близких и - наконец-то - понимает своего отца, по прозвищу Каннибал.

Fitar a realidade con ollos de neno é a proposta desta escolma de contos. Cunha linguaxe sinxela e directa, por momentos divertida, ás veces sarcástica, Pere Tobaruela debulla cuestións coas que convivimos no noso día a dí as crenzas relixiosas, a homosexualidade, a perda dun ser querido, a inmigración, a violencia, o ensino, a intransixencia e o radicalismo, as novas que nos chegan do terceiro mundo, as relacións entre fillos e pais... Un percorrido áxil que, amais de entreter, nos axudará a recuperar a nosa inocente e pícara mirada infantil. ¿Serás quen de volver mirar o mundo con ollos de neno?Pere Tobaruela é escritor. Alterna a escrita en catalán, galego e castelán. Con corenta títulos publicados nalgunhas das editoriais máis importantes de Cataluña (Barcanova, Edicions 62, Bromera, La Magrana, Cadí), Galicia (Xerais, Everest Galicia, Sotelo Blanco), o resto do Estado (Ediciones B, Everest) e de ámbito internacional (National Geographic), transita por diversos xéneros libro ilustrado, banda deseñada, ensaio, biografía, escolma de entrevistas, conto e novela. "A simple vista haberá adultos que “como vou ler, cos meus anos, lecturas para nenos?” Non saben o que perden, os bos lectores saben que as lecturas non teñen idades. Os relatos de "Eu son Deus e outros contos", alén de realidades literarias notábeis, constitúen valiosas oportunidades de reflexión." (Xosé M. Eyré, crítico literario, en Galicia Confidencial).

First published December 1, 2012

Il primo corpo è incatenato a un palo: strangolato e pugnalato, con uno pneumatico che ancora brucia intorno a quel che resta del collo.Si tratta di un’esecuzione della malavita o di qualcosa di molto più complesso? Qualcuno sta lasciando piccoli frammenti di ossa fuori della roulotte dell’ispettore Logan McRae, ma lui pensa di avere cose più urgenti cui pensare. Bande di narcotrafficanti rivali sono in lotta per il controllo del territorio, una coppia di adolescenti è scomparsa, qualcuno sta mutilando immigrati asiatici con strani, orripilanti rituali stregoneschi e Logan deve pure fare i conti con una nuova e ambiziosa detective, con una montagna di scartoffie, e con la sgradita attenzione sia da parte dei superiori che dei boss della criminalità locale. Per non parlare del suo capo diretto, la sguaiata, offensiva, perennemente urlante, irresistibile commissario capo Steel. Quando un altro corpo viene ritrovato, le somiglianze tra i vari omicidi non possono più essere ignorate. E forse quei frammenti di ossa legati con un grazioso nastrino sono più importanti di quanto sembrino…

But when her husband, Brian, leaves her for someone younger, thinner, blonde, and French, she has to step back and take a good, long look at her life.First, her career. She can’t continue to write about “Happily Ever After,” so she changes the heroine of her new book from a hot young thing to a forty-something woman who manages to find happiness without a man. Her agent isn’t too happy—the heroine is how old? She doesn’t get the guy in the end? How is that even possible?But Mona is tough, and she’s got Anthony, her personal assistant, and a few good friends to cheer her on and keep the stiff martinis flowing. And Ben.

The sound of his voice alone can send her imagination into full romantic overdrive.Then she meets Mitch, who might be just the guy for her. And there’s still Ben, who’s managed to come to her rescue more than once. But—there’s a book to publish, a soon-to-be-ex-husband to deal with, and what has Aunt Lily done this time?

First published January 28, 1986

This masterpiece of modern comics storytelling brings to vivid life a dark world and an even darker man. Together with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley, writer/artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in his saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement. Crime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders. As civil society crumbles around him, Bruce Wayne's long-suppressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles. The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by this generation's Robin—a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors.But can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have made them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout of an undeclared war between the superpowers—or a clash of what were once the world's greatest superheroes?Over fifteen years after its debut, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns remains an undisputed classic and one of the most influential stories ever told in the comics medium.Collecting Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1-4

RULES OF SUMMER, is a deceptively simple story about two boys, one older and one younger, and the kind of ‘rules’ that might govern any relationship between close friends or siblings. Rules that are often so strange or arbitrary, they seem impossible to understand from the outside. Yet through each exquisite illustration of this nearly wordless narrative, we can enjoy wandering around an emotional landscape that is oddly familiar to us all.

Prehistoric Wales in terms of human settlements covers a vast period.Historians believed that waves of immigrants brought different cultures into the area,replacing the previous inhabitants,with the last wave of European Celts. Studies of population genetics now suggest that that immigration was on a smaller scale than previously envisaged.Celtic culture expanded over wide regions,to the British Isles,the Iberian Peninsula and much of Central Europe.The origin of the "Welsh as a people," can be traced to the late 4th and early 5th centuries, following the Roman departure from Britain.Within these pages we trace the history and growth of the Welsh people, from early battles,growth of their culture and the establishment of the Nation.

Algún día escribiré sobre África

Binyavanga Wainaina

Africa

First published July 19, 2011

En 2005, el escritor keniano Binyavanga Wainaina escribió furioso al editor de Granta. La razón de su rabia era el número que la revista había publicado sobre África: «No me molestaba lo sombrío, sino lo estúpido. No había nada nuevo, nada profundo, sino mucho “reportaje” […] como si África y los africanos no fueran parte del discurso, como si no vivieran al otro lado de la calle de la oficina de Granta. No, nosotros estábamos “allí”, donde gente valiente vestida de color caqui podía acudir para atestiguarlo». El editor le propuso publicar una versión editada de su correo, ahora como texto titulado «How to Write About Africa». Se convirtió en el artículo más reenviado en la historia de la revista. Posteriormente, Wainaina escribió Algún día escribiré sobre África, una magistral crónica de su vida en Kenia, su fallido intento por estudiar en la universidad en Sudáfrica, y en particular su tortuoso viaje iniciático hasta convertirse en un escritor premiado y reconocido a nivel internacional. Wainaina retrata su vida en África como un mosaico en ebullición, bailando en su adolescencia con la música de Michael Jackson, contemplando con ironía un desfile de dictadores despóticos, trenzándose a golpes con un mafioso abusivo, siempre narrando con un lenguaje de una gran plasticidad y belleza, y sobre todo sin juzgar a los demás, para ceñirse a una de las principales reglas de la sociedad de Kenia: «Si hay una cortesía que todos los kenianos practican consiste en no cuestionar las contradicciones de los demás; todos tenemos contradicciones, y destruir la cara de otro es un sacrilegio».

A Ditadura Envergonhada

Elio Gaspari

History

First published January 1, 2002

Em 1984, o jornalista Hélio Gaspari ganhou uma bolsa de três meses do Wilson Center for International Scholars. Sua intenção era escrever um ensaio cujo título já estava definido: "Geisel e Golbery, o Sacerdote e Feiticeiro". Em cerca de cem páginas, Gaspari pretendia explicar por que entre 1974 e 1979 o ex-presidente e o chefe do seu gabinete Civil desmontaram a ditadura militar, quando na década anterior, entre 1964 e 1967, haviam ajudado a construí-la. A convicção de que bastariam cem páginas foi abandonada; dezoito anos depois, o que era um ensaio se transformou em cinco livros. Em A Ditadura Envergonhada, o leitor vai encontrar um minucioso relato do golpe de 1964, com seus lances de acaso e improvisos, a luta pelo poder nos primeiros anos do governo militar, a criação do SNI e os bastidores da elaboração dos primeiros atos institucionais, até a edição do Ato Institucional nº5 , em dezembro de 1968, e a famosa aula de tortura de outubro de 679, dada por um tenente no quartel da Vila Militar no Rio de Janeiro, quando a ditadura deixa de se envergonhar de si própria.Esta obra trata-se do primeiro livro da coleção e primeiro volume da série As Ilusões Armadas

Historical Fiction

First published January 1, 1975

„Шогун“ е изчерпателно въведение в историята и народопсихологията на Япония. Действието на романа се развива в началото на XVII век - интересен период в историята на тази страна, наситен с подмолни борби на холандци, испанци, португалци и англичани да завладеят японския пазар. През същия този период се формират социалните и културни предпоставки за по-късни коренни историко-политически промени. Книгата е написана изключително увлекателно, в духа на приключенския роман и същевременно притежава голяма познавателна стойност, потапяйки читателя в една неповторима атмосфера.

ANCIENT VISITORS TO NORTH AMERICA

Robert D. Morritt

First published July 10, 2013

Way back in the shadows and mists of time. Ancient visitors regularly visited North America. The coastlines and terrain was very different then and after an interstadial era the Glaciers had melted and North America was just another route taken often accidentally by archaic travelers who moved onwards in search of the food-chain.It appears that indigenous North Americans and Europeans possibly co-existed in isolated pockets as far back as 2000 to 1200BC (or even earlier) except for periods when they competed for the same ‘hunting grounds or a new territory to settle.This book ‘Ancient Visitors to North America’ whilst full of conjecture allows the reader to witness the trace of people who arrived in North America centuries before Columbus who himself had never set foot on North American soil.

Il partito preso delle cose

Francis Ponge

Poetry

First published June 15, 1942

Il progetto, quindi, è di scrivere un nuovo De natura rerum, o piuttosto un nuovo De varietate rerum il cui metodo viene così enunciato: «Il miglior partito è di considerare ogni cosa del tutto sconosciuta, e di passeggiare o di sdraiarsi nel sottobosco o sull'erba, e di riprendere tutto dall'inizio». Una fenomenologia poetica, certo, ma una fenomenologia materialista, non esistenzialista, per la disperazione di Sartre. L'opera di Ponge produce ciò che si può chiamare: «allegria materialista» - contatto rinnovato, rinnovante, con l'esterno, con le «choses» della «natura» e del mondo. Jacqueline Risset

聖女貞德. 2 Jeanne. 2

大谷暢順

First published September 1, 1996

法國洛林公爵之女艾美莉，幼時因為家變之故，而為公爵下屬波多里古努加以藏匿庇護。波多里古努之子艾米兒身份被養大的艾美莉，小時候曾在父親的病榻前見過貞德一面，並且在波多里古努的城堡見過貞德的幻影，對於貞德有股特殊的感情。（波多里古努即是當年帶貞德去見當時尚未登基的查理斯七世的人。另外，在這部作品中，除了在眾人的回憶中之外，貞德這個角色的出現都是以魂魄般地幻影形式登場。其時貞德業已被處火刑燒死。）貞德被燒死九年之後的法國仍不平靜，不但對英的戰爭尚未結束，且查理斯七世的軟弱還使得王太子路易趁機要興兵反叛，並且獲得了貞德生前的眾多盟友的支持。當艾美莉知道波多里古努接到大元帥利士文公爵的徵召命令時，乃自告奮勇地要代替波多里古努前去勤王。在造訪貞德出身的村莊多尼密時，艾美莉再次見到了貞德的幻影，並且接受了貞德的指引：「保護國王」。前去勤王的途中，艾美莉在奧爾良為先前所收服的盜賊出賣，因而遭到了王太子路易的逮捕。而與充滿霸氣與野心的路易接觸，亦使得艾美莉一時之間對貞德的指引出現了迷惑。然而在貞德幻影的協助下，艾美莉逃出了奧爾良，並且在圖爾見著了查理斯七世，正式開始了勤王的工作。眼見勤王軍的軍備簡陋，艾美莉自告奮勇地前去會見富有的薛多?尼男爵，期使這位貞德生前的盟友能夠出資協助勤王。然而此時的薛多-尼男爵早已為異常的慾望所支配。就在艾美莉本身陷入即將被殺害的危機之時，貞德的幻影出現在艾美莉與薛?多尼男爵的眼前，而喚回了薛?多尼的理智。薛?多尼之後也終於答應出資幫助了勤王軍。在大元帥利士文公爵的領導下，勤王軍接連打敗了王太子路易的叛軍。艾美莉在不願造成更多死傷的考量下，乃自願擔任使者前去會見仍在繼續反抗的雅倫遜公爵。然而雅倫遜公爵卻將艾美莉抓住並送給了王太子路易。使得艾美莉開始了被監禁的生涯。在監禁的過程中，艾美莉接連地與王太子路易發生衝突，路易最後乃決定讓艾美莉選擇是否要順從抑或步上和貞德一般的被燒死之路。選擇反抗的艾美莉在處刑前倍感害怕，然而就在危機的一刻，天降神雷擊毀了處刑台，並且也終於讓狂妄的王太子路易與艾美莉一同前去面見國王。之後，法國終於打敗了英國，而貞德也終於被重審而宣告無罪。由大谷暢順原著、安彥良和作畫的這部《聖女貞德》，雖然可能會讓部分讀者因為故事背景的陌生而感到一時無法弄清楚內容，但其故事本體事實上是不至於稱得上是複雜的。只要能夠就第一冊書末結尾所附的背景解說加以理解，那麼要弄清楚這部作品的內容，其實並不是一件困難的事。（在第一冊書末結尾附有背景解說的作法，其實可說是值得稱許的地方。比起一些歷史題材的作品經常讓讀者們弄不清狀況的情形，附上這樣一個的背景解說，其實是比較體恤讀者們的作法。）也許會有讀者在看完且暸解這本《聖女貞德》的故事之後，仍會就時代背景與貞德的事蹟提出種種的疑問，但是這部作品正如前述的故事簡介所示，其重心並不在於描繪史實上的貞德事蹟，而是藉由虛構出的人物──少女艾美莉的行動，去追尋與帶出貞德出現的意義。當然，安彥良和與大谷暢順所呈現出來的這部《聖女貞德》並不是真正的歷史。但是這部作品所呈現出來的歷史感，卻表現出了一股相當強大的說服力。對於此點，兩位作者的表現無疑是令人讚賞的。作品中確實存在於歷史中的幾位重要角色：國王查理斯七世、薛多?尼男爵、雅倫遜公爵……等，作者在其內心戲上的表現都出色的讓人動容。儘管角色們真正關於貞德的內心戲場景只佔了少量的篇幅，但是所呈現出來的畫龍點睛效果卻是出奇的好。把每一個角色之所以有如此作為的原因，都作了個相當漂亮的解釋，可說是《聖女貞德》這部作品相當值得稱贊的地方。（當然，真實的史實並不是像這部作品裡所呈現的那麼「浪漫」。而貞德是否真有神的指引，其實也大有問題。這部作品的本質始終還是個文學創作，而不是真正的歷史，這是在觀察這部作品前所必須要加以認識的前提。）安彥良和的作品風格向來都不會太活潑，對於一些讀者來說，他的作品甚至是令人感到有些「悶」。之所以如此，是因為安彥良和的表現方式與題材向來都比較注重內涵，對於角色的內心戲的鋪陳做的相當用心，所以他的作品經常都表現得頗為正經與嚴肅，即使故事處於較為詼諧的場景時，也很難讓讀者的心情跟著輕鬆下來。在這一點上，這部《聖女貞德》自然也是不會例外的。安彥良和的高作畫水準向來都有定評，不過這部《聖女貞德》特殊的是它是一部水彩漫畫。其所呈現出來的色彩風格，其實與他以前為電視版《機動戰士 GUNDAM》所繪製的海報用色風格頗為類似，只是偏好在同一格畫框中大量使用同色系色彩的表現方式變得更明顯，經常畫框中呈現著整片藍、整片紅或者是整片綠。其實在故事氣氛的營造上，也可以說是頗有助力的。基本上，大谷暢順與安彥良和的這部《聖女貞德》，其立場是站在相信貞德、承認神蹟的這一點上。並且由這樣的設定出發，來鋪陳這部作品的故事發展。對於這點，也許會有些讀者因為不信教或者是其他的原因而感到相當不以為然。但是，只要考慮到這部作品是部文藝作品而非真實的歷史，相信也不至於會那麼地難以接受。整體來說，安彥良和與大谷暢順合作的這部《聖女貞德》，可說是一部值得一看的作品。

Učitelj in čarovnice

Alejandro Jodorowsky

Biography

First published January 1, 2005

Jodorowsky’s memoirs of his experiences with Master Takata and the group of wisewomen--magiciennes--who influenced his spiritual growth • Reveals Jodorowsky turning the same unsparing spiritual vision seen in El Topo to his own spiritual quest • Shows how the author’s spiritual insight and progress was catalyzed repeatedly by wisewoman shamans and healers In 1970, John Lennon introduced to the world Alejandro Jodorowsky and the movie, El Topo, that he wrote, starred in, and directed. The movie and its author instantly became a counterculture icon. The New York Times said the film “demands to be seen,” and Newsweek called it “An Extraordinary Movie!” But that was only the beginning of the story and the controversy of El Topo, and the journey of its brilliant creator. His spiritual quest began with the Japanese master Ejo Takata, the man who introduced him to the practice of meditation, Zen Buddhism, and the wisdom of the koans. Yet in this autobiographical account of his spiritual journey, Jodorowsky reveals that it was a small group of wisewomen, far removed from the world of Buddhism, who initiated him and taught him how to put the wisdom he had learned from his master into practice.At the direction of Takata, Jodorowsky became a student of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, thus beginning a journey in which vital spiritual lessons were transmitted to him by various women who were masters of their particular crafts. These women included Doña Magdalena, who taught him “initiatic” or spiritual massage; the powerful Mexican actress known as La Tigresa (the “tigress”); and Reyna D’Assia, daughter of the famed spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff. Other important wisewomen on Jodorowsky’s spiritual path include María Sabina, the priestess of the sacred mushrooms; the healer Pachita; and the Chilean singer Violeta Parra. The teachings of these women enabled him to discard the emotional armor that was hindering his advancement on the path of spiritual awareness and enlightenment.

Damien Reed is confident, sexy, and everything a man should be. The only problem is, he doesn't even seem to know that Cheyenne exists. When an attempt at thievery goes bad, Cheyenne ends up face to face with the man of her dreams, but is there more to him than meets the eye?

My Sister’s Keeper

Jodi Picoult

Fiction

First published April 6, 2004

New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness. Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age 13 she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged ... until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister—and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.
