Anna and Tom, an expat couple, have fashioned a dream life for themselves in Berlin. They are young digital "creatives" exploring the excitements of the city, freelancers without too many constraints, who spend their free time cultivating house plants and their images online. At first, they reasonably deduce that they've turned their passion for aesthetics into a viable, even enviable career, but the years go by, and Anna and Tom grow bored.

At Lake Woof, everyone has a story. Fourteen-year-old Becky lives with her emotionally abusive father, Bruce. Her mother abandoned her when she was little. Ann is still in shock over the sudden death of her college-aged son Liam. She has lost her will to live, but is tasked with caring for Liam’s Dachshund, Choco. Becky and Ann meet at the dog park, where an eclectic cast of characters sit in a gazebo and swap tales as their dogs frolic and play. Friendships develop through the healing power of storytelling, and Becky and Ann form a deep bond over their losses.

Smoke Encrypted Whispers showcases Samuel Wagan Watson's imaginative brilliance and exceptional poetic skills. In this audiobook, which also includes work from three previous collections, his poems pulse with the language and images of a mangrove-lined river city, the beckoning highway, the just-glimpsed muse, the tug of childhood and restless ancestors. Wagan Watson's poetry is the work of an artist who speaks to a sense of our common humanity, and to a communal attachment to place.

Camí de sirga és un quadre de Brueghel on cada personatge pogués parlar. El llibre comença amb l’enderrocament de la casa número 20 de la baixada de la Ferradura, que desencadena la fi de la vila vella de Mequinensa. Però aquesta explicació simple es trenca de seguida. ¿Com mor un poble? Més que erigir mitologies de circumstància, Moncada fa sonar l’orquestra de destins dels que hi vivien.

En los poemas de José Emilio Pacheco, escribió Octavio Paz, se exalta la victoria de la naturaleza sobre la cultura y al exaltarla la transfigura, la convierte en palabra. Publicado en 2009, en La edad de las tinieblas José Emilio Pacheco culmina una extraordinaria aventura poética que comenzó cincuenta años atrás con Los elementos de la noche, y lo hace revitalizando una fértil tradición de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX: el poema en prosa.

El siglo XX se fue y se llevó consigo ambiciones sentenciadas al olvido. José Emilio Pacheco escribió en el ocaso del milenio los poemas reunidos en Siglo pasado (Desenlace) (1999-2000). En ellos decantó el último aliento de un tiempo que vio materializar y derrumbarse, un mundo de aspiraciones que se extinguió con su inevitable carga de gloria y decepción.

Ten-year-old Mona and her beloved grandfather have only fifty-two Wednesdays to visit fifty-two works of art and commit to memory "all that is beautiful in the world" before Mona loses her sight forever.

Pornind de la mottoul tolstoian că „Toate familiile fericite seamănă una cu alta, fiecare familie nefericită este nefericită în felul ei", facem cunoștință rând pe rând cu personaje dintre cele mai pestrițe. O familie nu are nimic de împărțit în afară de singurătate, o mamă vorbește cu ucigașul propriei fiice, o pereche improbabilă își deapănă tinerețea, trei femei se întâlnesc la coșciugul tatălui lor. Toate aceste tablouri și multe altele sunt însoțite de corul mitic care apare între povestiri ca să tragă concluzii dintre cele mai neașteptate și mai crude.

Viața lui Dionisio Pinzón e guvernată de hazardul care-l aruncă ba în brațele sărăciei și disperării, ba într-ale abundenței și fericirii: din crainic al satului și muritor de foame, devine cocoșar de succes și jucător de cărți. Din târg în târg, îl însoțește, fără voia ei, La Caponera, frumoasa cântăreață, cu vocea și melodiile ei vrăjite. Sărbătorile și veselia satelor mexicane, libertatea și puterea magnetică a femeilor, dar și corupția și lăcomia, toate acestea se află în Cocoșul de aur.

Considerată de mulți critici o satiră întunecată și o tragedie poetică, „Voința și norocul" marchează poate cel mai înalt prag al imaginației și al realismului lui Fuentes. În această nouă critică social-politică, aflăm povestea prieteniei dintre Iosua Nadal și Ierihon, care se întâlnesc în adolescență și încearcă să trăiască altfel decât ceilalți, dar aleg drumuri diferite pentru a-și îndeplini scopul.

On July 2, 2022, two criminals set out to rob a jewelry shop in Geneva. But even with a foolproof plan, their "perfect" heist will prove far from uneventful. . . Twenty days earlier, on a luxurious estate along the shores of Lake Geneva, Sophie Braun prepares to celebrate her fortieth birthday. Her life seems perfect: she has a fairytale marriage, two perfect children, and lives in a stylish modern mansion surrounded by lush forest. But her idyllic world is about to crumble. Her husband is becoming embroiled in petty schemes.

Second mate Jack Riley loves his life at sea and dreams of one day captaining his own ship. Settling down to life in the back streets of Liverpool holds no appeal. Until he bumps into his old flame, Nell.

This book is the first of a three-part series that follows a child named Misery from Boston brothels across the world of the sexual slave trade.

In an ideologically divided America teetering on the edge of chaos, a bitterly contested election ignites a chain of events that leads to the unthinkable: a right-wing coup seizes control of the nation. Driven by an extreme vision of Christian fundamentalism, the new regime imposes a rigid authoritarian order and control, dismantling civil liberties and crushing the movement toward social justice for all.

"Poems in Prose" is the collection of six prose poems by Oscar Wilde published in 1894, including, in order: "The Artist," "The Doer of Good," "The Disciple," "The Master," "The House of Judgment" and "The Teacher of Wisdom."

Stevie Darling's mundane life is flipped upside down by a betrayal, and he soon finds himself on the run. His saving grace is that he’s agile, and manages to evade capture. Whilst trying to escape his past, Stevie encounters a forgotten friend, Ker Lo, whose own past carries great mysteries that will inevitably intertwine with Stevie’s journey.

On a windswept landscape somewhere north of Denver, Robert Hawks, a feisty and dangerously curious hydrologist, finds himself enmeshed in a fight over Native American treaty rights. What begins for Robert as a peaceful fishing interlude ends in murder and the disclosure of government secrets. In Watershed, Percival Everett turns his focus once again to the injustices of recent American history, exploring the relationship between Native American activists and Black Panther groups who bonded over their shared enemies in the 1960s Civil Rights movement.
