A sangre y fuego

En 1647 la República Polaco-Lituana controla Europa Oriental, unos enormes territorios que comprenden casi un millón de kilómetros cuadrados, pero en un año todo cambiará. Los primeros problemas surgirán en los míticos Campos Salvajes, la inmensa estepa que se extiende hasta la península de Crimea, cuando el astuto y valeroso atamán cosaco Diodado Zenobio Mielniski subleve a los jinetes cosacos en contra del poder de la nobleza polaca. Los campesinos ucranianos rebeldes se unen al ejército cosaco, y éstos se alían con los eternos enemigos de Polonia; las terroríficas hordas tártaras musulmanas del este. Las brasas de los viejos resentimientos inflamarán una brutal avalancha de pillajes y asesinatos dispuesta a tomar el corazón del reino, Varsovia. En medio de este épico conflicto, Juan Kretuski, comandante de los caballeros del príncipe polaco Jeremías, se enamora de la bella Elena, y al poco tiempo su amada es secuestrada por los cosacos. Así, las próximas batallas no se librarán sólo por la supervivencia de Polonia; el intento de rescate de Elena se entremezclará con los dramáticos acontecimientos históricos. A sangre y fuego, a través de unos personajes que son al mismo tiempo más grandes que la vida y conmovedoramente humanos, aúna las grandes pasiones, la intriga y una acción vertiginosa con una amplia visión histórica sobre uno de los momentos decisivos en el proceso de configuración política de Rusia, Polonia, Lituania y Ucrania. A sangre y fuego, junto con El diluvio y Un héroe polaco, constituyen la Trilogía polaca de Henryk Sienkiewicz; una moderna epopeya considerada uno de los grandes relatos épicos de todos los tiempos.


El diluvio

A mediados del siglo XVII, apenas transcurridos cinco años desde que los caballeros de la República Polaco-Lituana expulsaran a los invasores cosacos que les amenazaban por el este, una nueva y mucho más peligrosa amenaza asoma por el horizonte; las tropas suecas están entrando por la frontera norte del país. Mientras tanto, Andrés Kmita, un joven noble lituano cuya rudeza oscurece su sagacidad y bravura, malvive rodeado de asesinos, libertinos y vagabundos, quedando estigmatizado como un fuera de la ley. Pero su amor por la bella Olenka le inspirará la forja de un nuevo carácter en el campo de batalla, así como una sencilla y trascendental misión: la defensa del Rey, la Nación y la Fe frente a los invasores extranjeros. Después de A sangre y fuego, El diluvio —segunda novela de la Trilogía de Sienkiewicz— continúa la arrolladora saga de guerra y rebelión que amenazó la existencia de Polonia y cambió la cara de Europa oriental durante el siglo XVII. El ganador del premio Nobel Henryk Sienkiewicz, sobre las constantes eternas del amor y la guerra, teje un rico tapiz de pasión, traición y redención para narrar las gestas de la nación polaca atrapada en la agonía de una contienda civil, a la vez que plantea la cuestión moral de si las personas pueden elevarse sobre su tiempo y circunstancias. El diluvio no es sólo una novela que recrea los destinos cruzados de Polonia, Suecia y Rusia en uno de sus periodos más trepidantes y dramáticos; es la historia de un hombre y una mujer trágicamente separados por la imprudencia, el orgullo, la confusión y el terror provocado por una invasión extranjera que dividió a la nación, revelando lo mejor y lo peor de cada persona.


Un héroe polaco

Año 1668. Polonia todavía resuella tras la sucesión de épicas batallas que ha librado para expulsar a los invasores suecos. La guerra ha dejado a la nación esquilmada, pero los problemas del pueblo polaco distan de haber concluido. El Imperio otomano, en coalición con dos viejos enemigos de la Polonia —tártaros y cosacos— aprovecha la situación de postración polaca para iniciar su propio intento de conquista. En «Un héroe polaco, Henryk Sienkiewicz», consumado maestro del más clásico y robusto realismo, nos presenta una universal historia de amor en la guerra. Basia es la atrevida y valerosa princesa soldado y Miguel Volodiovski el «pequeño caballero» comandante de las tropas polacas que, bajo el mando de Juan Sobieski —rey de Polonia y héroe de la Cistiandad en la batalla de Viena—, harán frente al insurgente poder turco. Tras mil avatares que les mantendrán separados. Basia y Miguel lucharán juntos en la fortaleza de Kamieniec, defendiendo a Polonia y a la civilización occidental frente a la tiranía de las hordas orientales. Personajes soberbiamente construidos, conjuras, acción trepidante que nos habla de cuestiones universales, magníficas recreaciones históricas; tras «A sangre y fuego» y «El Diluvio», «Un héroe polaco» concluye la trilogía de Sienkiewicz, y una vez más el Premio Nobel polaco demuestra por qué es uno de los autores más traducidos y leídos de todos los tiempos.

True colors

True Colors es la historia de dos chicos llamados Abril Rizzo y Nate Collins, quienes deciden aventurarse a conocer el mundo mediante un viaje a varios países, entre ellos Estados Unidos, México, Venezuela, Colombia, Perú e Italia, pero su viaje más valioso será el de la amistad y el amor, el cual los llevará a sumergirse en sus propias aguas, y a superar momentos aciagos en la vida gracias a ingredientes esenciales para la felicidad: la reafirmación y la búsqueda de los sueños, la independencia, la fortaleza, la esperanza, el agradecimiento, el perdón y la reconciliación. Sin embargo, True Colors es más. Es un recordatorio del valor de la palabra familia, sustantivo muy presente en estas páginas contadas en clave de humor y actualidad, en las que los contrastes entre dos grupos familiares, los Rizzo y los Collins, sobresalen y motorizan en una, la unión, y en otra, los conflictos, el dolor y la sanción. True Colors es, sobre todo, y en definitiva, un viaje a los colores de la vida, que pueden ser opacos, en ocasiones, pero mucho más vivos y radiantes la mayoría de las veces, y la demostración cierta de que si hay un mal comienzo en algo, tal como fueron los primeros encuentros de nuestros protagonistas, ello tiene una razón de ser. Así como la misma Abril Rizzo cuenta en una de las páginas sobre el porqué de esta historia: "Una vez mamá me dijo que la suerte no existía, que todo pasaba por una causalidad y no por casualidad. Porque en la vida nada es casualidad".

¡Orgullo y Prejuicio va a Escocia! Cuando Fitzwilliam Darcy, aún dolido por el rechazo de Elizabeth Bennet, descubre que ella fue forzada a huir de su casa en desgracia debido a las acciones de él, su camino estaba claro. Él tenía que casarse con ella. Es un asunto de honor. Todo lo que él tiene que hacer es encontrarla y proponerle matrimonio. Eso de seguro es bastante simple. Pero Elizabeth no quiere ser encontrada, especialmente no por Darcy. Desde el momento en que él entró a su vida, él ha causado desastre tras desastre. Ahora, él la ha seguido todo el camino hasta Escocia, tontamente seguro de que está en sus manos el arreglar todos los problemas de ella. Pero hay más en juego de lo que Darcy cree. La búsqueda de Darcy lo lleva de detrás de bambalinas en el Theatre Royal de Edimburgo a los terrenos salvajes de las Tierras Altas de Escocia, donde los misteriosos habitantes de las Tierras Altas prueban ser tanto amigos como enemigos. Y ahora su búsqueda arriesga exponer secretos largamente mantenidos que amenazan la felicidad de él y el futuro de ella. Fugitiva y en peligro, Elizabeth se ve forzada a elegir cosas imposibles para proteger a los que ama… incluyendo a Darcy. Su creciente atracción por él está en guerra con su necesidad de ser precavida, y hay demasiado en juego. ¿Puede ella confiar en que él continúe luchando por protegerla cuando sepa toda la verdad? Y si él lo hace, ¿será por amor… o será solamente un asunto de honor?

Un Amante de Ensueño

Estar atrapado en un dormitorio con una mujer es algo maravilloso. Estar atrapado en cientos de dormitorios durante más de dos mil años, no lo es. Y ser maldecido y encerrado en un libro para ser convocado como esclavo sexual, puede arruinar incluso a quien un día fuera un guerrero espartano. Pero cuando fui convocado para cumplir las fantasías sexuales de Grace Alexander, ella fue la primera mujer en la historia que me vio como un hombre. Se molestó en sacarme del dormitorio y mostrarme el mundo. Me enseñó a amar de nuevo. Pero yo no nací para conocer el amor. Fui maldecido para caminar solo durante toda la eternidad. Hace mucho tiempo que acepte mi sentencia. Ahora he encontrado a Grace, ¿pero puede romper una maldición de más de dos mil años? — JULIAN DE MACEDONIA —

La Fiesta del Chivo

¿Por qué regresa Urania Cabral a la isla que juró no volver a pisar? ¿Por qué sigue vacía y llena de miedo desde los catorce años? ¿Por qué no ha tenido un solo amor? En La Fiesta del Chivo asistimos a un doble retorno. Mientras Urania visita a su padre en Santo Domingo, volvemos a 1961, cuando la capital dominicana aún se llamaba Ciudad Trujillo. Allí un hombre que no suda tiraniza a tres millones de personas sin saber que se gesta una maquiavélica transición a la democracia. Vargas Llosa, un clásico contemporáneo, relata el fin de una era dando voz, entre otros personajes históricos, al impecable e implacable general Trujillo, apodado el Chivo, y al sosegado y hábil doctor Balaguer (sempiterno presidente de la República Dominicana). Con un ritmo y una precisión difícilmente superables, este peruano universal muestra que la política puede consistir en abrirse camino entre cadáveres, y que un ser inocente puede convertirse en un regalo truculento. El presente libro ha sido elegido recientemente como la novela española del siglo XXI por un centenar de escritores, editores, agentes y otras personalidades de la cultura.


Insurgente

Una sola opción puede transformarte, o te puede destruir, pero siempre tiene consecuencias. Con la oleada de disturbios en las distintas facciones, Tris deberá asegurarse de proteger a los que ama, mientras se enfrenta a inquietantes preguntas sobre la culpabilidad, el perdón, la identidad, la lealtad, la política y el amor. El día de la iniciación de Tris debería haber sido una celebración de la facción elegida, en cambio, el día terminó con un gran problema. El conflicto entre las facciones se intensifica y las ideologías se enfrentan. En tiempos de guerra, se eligen líderes y los secretos afloran… cada decisión tiene mayores consecuencias más potentes.


Leal

La sociedad dividida en facciones en la que antes creía Tris Prior ha quedado hecha pedazos, fracturada por la violencia y las luchas de poder, y marcada por la traición. Así que, cuando tiene la oportunidad de explorar el mundo más allá de los límites que siempre ha conocido, Tris está más que dispuesta. Puede que, al otro lado de la valla, Tobias y ella descubran una nueva vida juntos más sencilla, libre de mentiras, lealtades confusas y recuerdos dolorosos. Sin embargo, la nueva realidad de Tris es aún más inquietante que la que ha dejado atrás. Lo que creían haber descubierto deja de tener sentido. Surgen verdades explosivas que hacen cambiar de opinión a sus seres queridos.

Clear as Crystal

A LitRPG Fantasy novel.Yokïmi Kikuchi dwelled in what she perceived to be harmony with her family. As with most nobles, she had the opportunities of the privileged. She spent her days split between loves: exploring music and the arts; and taking the first steps on the path of the Bellatir - martial artists focused on mastering graceful movement, balance, and deadly precision. It is a noble heritage of her ancestors, and she seeks to follow in those footsteps.Her twin brother's madness changed everything. Twisted by his hate and magic beyond his control, he unleashes a violent cataclysm that destroys the family and the castle in which they lived. By chaotic chance, Yokïmi survived, but found herself forever changed.Robbed of everything, she flees from the site of that disaster. Bearing the ill news to a friend of their family, the transformed woman grieves for what she has lost. But though she survived, terrible Curses have latched onto her. Their effects threaten to ruin her life forever, leaving her no choice but to contemplate Quests to see them removed.Her family's wealth and power lie in tatters. All of her personal possessions are gone, and the Curses upon her limit her options severely, leaving her unable to enjoy the simple pleasure of walking freely among the people of her homeland. All Yokïmi has left are the gifts that have served her well during her life: her determination, ingenuity, and the body she has only begun sculpting into the weapon and magical conduit she'll need to meet these challenges.The only problem were the challenges she didn't anticipate... and the love and friendships she would risk losing along the way.=== Caution from the Author ===This book contains content that might be seen as sensitive to some!

Cataclysms: A History of the Twentieth Century from Europe's Edge

Cataclysms is a profoundly original look at the last century. Approaching twentieth-century history from the periphery rather than the centers of decision-making, the virtual narrator sits perched on the legendary stairs of Odessa and watches as events between the Baltic and the Aegean pass in review, unfolding in space and time between 1917 and 1989, while evoking the nineteenth century as an interpretative backdrop. Influenced by continental historical, legal, and social thought, Dan Diner views the totality of world history evolving from an Eastern and Southeastern European angle. A work of great synthesis, Cataclysms chronicles twentieth century history as a “universal civil war” between a succession of conflicting dualisms such as freedom and equality, race and class, capitalism and communism, liberalism and fascism, East and West. Diner’s interpretation rotates around cataclysmic events in the transformation from multinational empires into nation states, accompanied by social revolution and “ethnic cleansing,” situating the Holocaust at the core of the century’s predicament. Unlike other Eurocentric interpretations of the last century, Diner also highlights the emerging pivotal importance of the United States and the impact of decolonization on the process of European integration.

Knowledge Regulation and National Security in Postwar America

The first historical study of export control regulations as a tool for the sharing and withholding of knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Mario Daniels and John Krige set out to show the enormous political relevance that export control regulations have had for American debates about national security, foreign policy, and trade policy since 1945. Indeed, they argue that from the 1940s to today the issue of how to control the transnational movement of information has been central to the thinking and actions of the guardians of the American national security state. The expansion of control over knowledge and know-how is apparent from the increasingly systematic inclusion of universities and research institutions into a system that in the 1950s and 1960s mainly targeted business activities. As this book vividly reveals, classification was not the only—and not even the most important—regulatory instrument that came into being in the postwar era.


Female Innovators Who Changed Our World: How Women Shaped Stem

We are not all born with equal opportunities. Yet there have been countless of women who have overcome a range of barriers such as prejudice, illness, and personal tragedy to advance our understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). They used their knowledge to change the world, and their stories are fascinating. This book offers a concise introduction of the lives of 46 women, taking you into the cultural and social context of the world they lived in. Through their intelligence, courage, and resilience, they used STEM to defy expectations and inspire generations to follow in their footsteps. Some of them invented items we use day-to-day and discovered causes and treatments for epidemics that ostracized whole sections of society, while others campaigned for the reproductive rights of women and harnessed mathematics to send people into space and break ciphers. These women are proof that females can and did have a hugely significant role in shaping the world we live in today.


Fallen Feather


The first science fiction course in the American academy was held in the early 1950s. In the sixty years since, science fiction has become a recognized and established literary genre with a significant and growing body of scholarship. The Cambridge History of Science Fiction is a landmark volume as the first authoritative history of the genre. Over forty contributors with diverse and complementary specialties present a history of science fiction across national and genre boundaries, and trace its intellectual and creative roots in the philosophical and fantastic narratives of the ancient past. Science fiction as a literary genre is the central focus of the volume, but fundamental to its story is its non-literary cultural manifestations and influence. Coverage thus includes transmedia manifestations as an integral part of the genre's history, including not only short stories and novels, but also film, art, architecture, music, comics, and interactive media.


Ghost Criminology : The Afterlife of Crime and Punishment

Michael Fiddler, Theo Kindynis, Travis Linnemann

"Bringing together prominent early contributions from this emergent perspective, the volume traces the origins, theory and methodology of a nascent ghost criminology. From the powers of exorcism and erasure marshaled by state agents, street-level struggles over memorialization and memory, to the lingering violence of crime scenes and the ghostly traces of outlaw artists, Ghost Criminology is a book attuned to that which is well-theorized in other disciplines-the spectral, hauntological, apparitional. Each of the writers assembled here shares, as Mark Fisher (2017) put it, a fascination for the outside, "that which lies beyond standard perception, cognition and experience." As such, this collection uses cutting-edge social and cultural theory to tangle with some of criminology's most stubborn revenants-the politics of criminalization, the commodification of crime and violence, the haunting power of the image, as well as the unheard and disregarded cries of the dead"--


A Logical Theory of Causality

A general formal theory of causal reasoning as a logical study of causal models, reasoning, and inference. In this book, Alexander Bochman presents a general formal theory of causal reasoning as a logical study of causal models, reasoning, and inference, basing it on a supposition that causal reasoning is not a competitor of logical reasoning but its complement for situations lacking logically sufficient data or knowledge. Bochman also explores the relationship of this theory with the popular structural equation approach to causality proposed by Judea Pearl and explores several applications ranging from artificial intelligence to legal theory, including abduction, counterfactuals, actual and proximate causality, dynamic causal models, and reasoning about action and change in artificial intelligence. As logical preparation, before introducing causal concepts, Bochman describes an alternative, situation-based semantics for classical logic that provides a better understanding of what can be captured by purely logical means. He then presents another prerequisite, outlining those parts of a general theory of nonmonotonic reasoning that are relevant to his own theory. These two components provide a logical background for the main, two-tier formalism of the causal calculus that serves as the formal basis of his theory. He presents the main causal formalism of the book as a natural generalization of classical logic that allows for causal reasoning. This provides a formal background for subsequent chapters. Finally, Bochman presents a generalization of causal reasoning to dynamic domains.


Bad Eminence

Meet Vanessa Salomon, a privileged and misanthropic French-American translator hailing from a wealthy Parisian family. Her twin sister is a famous movie star, which Vanessa resents deeply and daily. The only man Vanessa ever loved recently killed himself by jumping off the roof of her building. It’s a full life.Vanessa has just started working on an English translation of a titillating, experimental thriller by a dead author when she’s offered a more prominent gig: translating the latest book by an Extremely Famous French Writer who is not in any way based on Michel Houellebecq. As soon as she agrees to meet this writer, however, her other, more obscure project begins to fight back―leading Vanessa down into a literary hell of traps and con games and sadism and doppelgangers and mystic visions and strange assignations and, finally, the secret of life itself.Peppered with “sponsored content” providing cocktail recipes utilizing a brand of liquor imported by the film director Steven Soderbergh, and with a cameo from the actress Juno Temple, Bad Eminence is at once an old-school literary satire in the mode of Vladimir Nabokov as well as a jolly thumb in the eyes of contemporary screen-life and digital celebrity.


Non-indigenous species in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Recent decades have seen significant changes in the biota of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea due to the introduction of non-indigenous species. Reliable scientific data on the dynamics of their distribution and abundance are essential to understand their ecological and economic effects. This review – in addition to providing images and descriptions of relevant species to aid in identification – presents a unique historical and regional perspective on these species’ impacts, based on many years’ worth of research. The Black Sea’s primary invaders come from the Mediterranean. Species like the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi have caused major declines in biodiversity in the region by crippling key segments of the food chain. Similar results have been noted in the Marmara Sea, a crucial water exchange point located between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea. Infiltration into the Mediterranean comes from both the east and west – with Lessepsian species passing through the Suez Canal and fish and invertebrate species originating from the Atlantic expanding their ranges. As of the publication of this review, over 900 non-indigenous species have been reported in the Mediterranean and almost 300 in the Black Sea, with these numbers expected to rise in the future. Numerous Lessepsian fishes are commercially relevant and have been absorbed into local markets, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean region. While these species are targeted through various fishing techniques, many others are simply discarded due to a lack of value and there are even some, such as lionfishes, pufferfishes and several species of jellyfishes, that present immediate dangers to human health. Stewardship of native species, regional cooperation on the enforcement of legal measures, increased public awareness and the creation of marine protected areas are thus essential to minimize and reduce the impacts of non-indigenous species both in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

Holy Cancer: How A Cow Saved My Life

Healing Vaidya Foundation & Aditya Prakashan

Holy Cancer: How A Cow Saved My Life is the enlightening and emotional memoir by Amit Vaidya, a young man who sets off on a one-of-a-kind journey that perhaps nobody should ever have to. Given six months to live and no immediate family to support him, Vaidya, a first generation Indian-American, ventures a path less taken and explores alternative treatments throughout India for his metastatic stage IV cancer diagnosis. The journey starts as a prelude to his death but ends up giving birth to his second life.This is a story about resilience, believing in oneself, trusting in humanity and not letting judgment stop anyone from trying anything. It goes beyond any disease. It's about appreciating each moment, truly living, and winning in life by finally taking time to get back in touch with nature.Holy Cancer is not a medical book, it does not offer the "cure" for cancer nor does it promote any single type of treatment or therapy. What it does do is describe in detail the path the author took to find his healing path - something the reader can learn from, feel inspired by and use as a catalyst for their own healing empowerment."All the wishful thinking in the world wouldn't have saved me if I didn't have discipline, a routine and faith. Faith in myself, my Earth and fellow human beings -- strangers who let me live, survive and thrive."


The Human Rights Revolution: An International History

Akira Iriye, Petra Goedde, William I. Hitchcock

Between the Second World War and the early 1970s, political leaders, activists, citizens, protestors. and freedom fighters triggered a human rights revolution in world affairs. Stimulated particularly by the horrors of the crimes against humanity in the 1940s, the human rights revolution grew rapidly to subsume claims from minorities, women, the politically oppressed, and marginal communities across the globe. The human rights revolution began with a disarmingly simple idea: that every individual, whatever his or her nationality, political beliefs, or ethnic and religious heritage, possesses an inviolable right to be treated with dignity. From this basic claim grew many more, and ever since, the cascading effect of these initial rights claims has dramatically shaped world history down to our own times.The contributors to this volume look at the wave of human rights legislation emerging out of World War II, including the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the Nuremberg trial, and the Geneva Conventions, and the expansion of human rights activity in the 1970s and beyond, including the anti-torture campaigns of Amnesty International, human rights politics in Indonesia and East Timor, the emergence of a human rights agenda among international scientists, and the global campaign female genital mutilation. The book concludes with a look at the UN Declaration at its 60th anniversary. Bringing together renowned senior scholars with a new generation of international historians, these essays set an ambitious agenda for the history of human rights.

Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered and Reviled Bird

Pigeons have been worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace. Domesticated since the dawn of man, they’ve been used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower from ancient Egypt to the United States and are credited with saving thousands of lives. Charles Darwin relied heavily on pigeons to help formulate and support his theory of evolution. Yet today they are reviled as “rats with wings.” Author Andrew D. Blechman traveled across the United States and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to find out how we came to misunderstand one of mankind’s most helpful and steadfast companions. Pigeons captures a Brooklyn man’s quest to win the Main Event (the pigeon world’s equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a convention dedicated to breeding the perfect bird. Blechman participates in a live pigeon shoot where entrants pay $150; he tracks down Mike Tyson, the nation’s most famous pigeon lover; he spends time with Queen Elizabeth’s Royal Pigeon Handler; and he sheds light on a radical “pro-pigeon underground’ in New York City. In Pigeons, Blechman tells for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable bird.

Communism Unwrapped: Consumption in Cold War Eastern Europe

Communism Unwrapped reveals the complex world of consumption in Cold War Eastern Europe, exploring the ways people shopped, ate, drank, smoked, cooked, acquired, assessed and exchanged goods. These everyday experiences, the editors and contributors argue, were central to the way that communism was lived in its widely varied contexts in the region.From design, to production, to retail sales and black market exchange, Communism Unwrapped follows communist goods from producer to consumer, tracing their circuitous routes. In the communist world this journey was rife with its own meanings, shaped by the special political and social circumstances of these societies. In examining consumption behind the Iron Curtain, this volume brings dimension and nuance to understandings of the communist period and the history of consumerism.

The New Old Indian

The Old Indian Defence is considered to be a sound way for Black to meet 1 d4. Some might argue that it is steady rather than spectacular, but is this reputation totally deserved? Grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev disagrees, and in this book he has re-examined this ancient opening and the result is a “new” Old Indian. In this modern interpretation, he has introduced ambitious and aggressive ways for Black to play in the main lines. He constructs an improved version of a repertoire he has himself utilized with great success against grandmaster opposition. Using illustrative games, he studies the fundamental tactical and positional ideas for both sides, and also covers what to do if White avoids the Old Indian.

The Imprisoned Guest: Samuel Howe and Laura Bridgman, The Original Deaf-Blind Girl

The resurrected story of a deaf-blind girl and the man who brought her out of silence.In 1837, Samuel Gridley Howe, director of Boston's Perkins Institution for the Blind, heard about a bright, deaf-blind seven-year-old, the daughter of New Hampshire farmers. At once he resolved to rescue her from the "darkness and silence of the tomb." And indeed, thanks to Howe and an extraordinary group of female teachers, Laura Bridgman learned to finger spell, to read raised letters, and to write legibly and even eloquently.Philosophers, poets, educators, theologians, and early psychologists hailed Laura as a moral inspiration and a living laboratory for the most controversial ideas of the day. She quickly became a major tourist attraction, and many influential writers and reformers visited her or wrote about her. But as the Civil War loomed and her girlish appeal faded, the public began to lose interest. By the time Laura died in 1889, she had been wholly eclipsed by the prettier, more ingratiating Helen Keller.The Imprisoned Guest retrieves Laura Bridgman's forgotten life, placing it in the context of nineteenth-century American social, intellectual, and cultural history. Her troubling, tumultuous relationship with Howe, who rode Laura's achievements to his own fame but could not cope with the intense, demanding adult she became, sheds light on the contradictory attitudes of a "progressive" era in which we can find some precursors of our own.

Le Trésorier-payeur

C’est l’histoire d’un banquier qui veut tout dépenser. Au début des années 90, le jeune Bataille arrête la philosophie pour s’inscrire dans une école de commerce et décroche son premier poste à Béthune, dans la succursale de la Banque de France. Dans cette ville où la fermeture des mines et les ravages du néolibéralisme ont installé un paysage de crise, la vie du Trésorier-payeur devient une aventure passionnée : protégé par le directeur de la banque, Charles Dereine, il défend les surendettés, découvre le vertige sexuel avec Annabelle, une libraire rimbaldienne, s’engage dans la confrérie des Charitables, collabore avec Emmaüs et rencontre l’amour de sa vie, la dentiste Lilya Mizaki. Comment être anarchiste et travailler dans une banque ? Peut-on tout donner ? Yannick Haenel raconte comment il est possible, par la charité et l’érotisme, de résister de l’intérieur au monde du calcul.


Les presque sœurs

Entre 1942 et 1944, des milliers d’enfants juifs, rendus orphelins par la déportation de leurs parents, ont été séquestrés par le gouvernement de Vichy. Maintenus dans un sort indécis, leurs noms transmis aux préfectures, ils étaient à la merci des prochaines rafles. Parmi eux, un groupe de petites filles. Mireille, Jacqueline, Henriette, Andrée, Jeanne et Rose sont menées de camps d’internement en foyers d’accueil, de Beaune-la-Rolande à Paris. Cloé Korman cherche à savoir qui étaient ces enfants, ces trois cousines de son père qu’elle aurait dû connaître si elles n’avaient été assassinées, et leurs amies. C'est le récit des traces concrètes de Vichy dans la France d’aujourd’hui. Mais aussi celui du génie de l’enfance, du tremblement des possibles. Des formes de la révolte. Cloé Korman est née en 1983 à Paris. Son premier roman, Les Hommes-couleurs (Seuil, 2010), a été récompensé par le prix du Livre Inter et le prix Valery-Larbaud. En 2013, elle a publié, toujours au Seuil, Les Saisons de Louveplaine, puis Midi en 2018, et Tu ressembles à une juive en 2020.


Cher connard

C’est une suite de lettres entre amis qui se sauvent la vie. Dans ce roman épistolaire, Virginie Despentes revient sur le thème qui unit tous ses livres – comment l’amitié peut naître entre personnes qui n’ont à priori rien à faire ensemble. Rebecca a dépassé la cinquantaine, elle est actrice, elle est toujours aussi séduisante. Oscar a quarante-trois ans, il est un auteur un peu connu, il écoute du rap en essayant d’écrire un nouveau livre. Ils sont des transfuges de classe que la bourgeoisie n’épate guère. Ils ont l’un comme l’autre grandi et vieilli dans la culture de l’artiste défoncé tourmenté et sont experts en polytoxicomanie, mais pressentent qu’il faudrait changer leurs habitudes. Zoé n’a pas trente ans, elle est féministe, elle ne veut ni oublier ni pardonner, elle ne veut pas se protéger, elle ne veut pas aller bien. Elle est accro aux réseaux sociaux – ça lui prend tout son temps. Ces trois-là ne sont pas fiables. Ils ont de grandes gueules et sont vulnérables, jusqu’à ce que l’amitié leur tombe dessus et les oblige à baisser les armes. Il est question de violence des rapports humains, de postures idéologiques auxquelles on s’accroche quand elles échouent depuis longtemps à saisir la réalité, de la rapidité et de l’irréversibilité du changement. Roman de rage et de consolation, de colère et d’acceptation, Cher connard présente une galerie de portraits d’êtres humains condamnés à bricoler comme ils peuvent avec leurs angoisses, leurs névroses, leurs addictions aux conflits de tous ordres, l’héritage de la guerre, leurs complexes, leurs hontes, leurs peurs intimes et finalement – ce moment où l’amitié est plus forte que la faiblesse humaine.

Yet what seems to be a run-of-the-mill murder stemming from infidelity turns into a full-blown killing spree. For this killer, taking the lives of his wife and her lover is merely the beginning. He’ll take the deceit no more. His decision has been made. All the women who've wronged him in the past will die.Harrington quickly finds the case turning personal when the killer's focus inches closer and closer to home. Unknown to the lieutenant, one of his loved ones has a history with the killer. And that history is etched in the killer’s mind.Book 2: When a spring breaker is found with his head all but removed along the side of a posh Miami Beach hotel, Lieutenant Nash Harrington is tasked with tracking down the person responsible. But the dead college kid in the bushes is only the beginning. The victim came to town with friends—friends who start dropping like flies. Just as the lieutenant closes in on his killer, the case takes an immediate left turn into the unknown, a place where Harrington could find himself directly in harm’s way.Book 3: A master killer is hunting on Miami's streets, and he’s taking trophies from the bodies he leaves behind. For Miami Homicide Lieutenant Nash Harrington, tracking down this suspect isn't coming easy. No evidence seems to connect the victims, and each appears to be chosen at random. With each new homicide, the killer's bravado escalates. The sheer level of boldness in the attacks isn’t something Harrington, or anyone from his department, has seen before. The killer is searching for a worthy prey, and he might have just found one.
