McCall Smith, Alexander

As the temperature rises in Gaborone, Precious Ramotswe, founder of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, wonders whether the heat could be the reason that business is particularly slow. Luckily, a slower pace in life is her natural preference, unlike her colleague Mma Makutsi, who is alert to every passing observation and inclined to making snap decisions. With fewer cases to handle, Precious has time to contemplate her new neighbours, a couple who, by the sounds of it, have a rather volatile relationship . . .But then a distant cousin of Mma Ramotswe’s comes to the agency with a plea for help, and the ladies decide to pursue the issue together. Armed with Mma Ramotswe’s circumspection and Mma Makutsi’s sharp eye, they proceed with confidence and open hearts. What, after all, could be more straightforward than a family matter?Meanwhile, their colleague Charlie is behaving oddly, borrowing Mma Ramotswe’s van and returning it in an unusual condition. Digging a little deeper, the explanation is both strange and extraordinary, and takes Charlie, along with Mma Ramotswe’s husband, Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, on a hair-raising night-time expedition.In the end, Precious is reminded of the need to view a picture from every angle, to accept the imperfections in people and situations, and then find a solution – preferably over a delicious slice of her friend Mma Potokwani’s fruit cake.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Avui -5% i enviament gratuït

Manson, Mark

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Neskamearen Ipuina

Atwood, Margaret

Freden neskamea da Gileadeko Errepublikan. Komandantearen eta haren emaztearen etxetik egunean behin ateratzen da elikagaiak erostera, errotuluetan hitzak ez baizik eta irudiak dituzten saltokietara, emakumeek debekaturik baitute irakurtzea. Buruz gora etzaten da hilean behin eta otoitz egingo du Komandanteak haurdun utz dezan, jaiotze tasak beherantz egin zuenetik Freden eta gainerako neskameak beren obarioen emankortasunaren arabera balioesten baitira. Hori guztia isilik eta burumakur beteko du, baldin eta Kolonietan edo Horman amaitu nahi ez badu. Jokamoldea, janzkera eta sexu jarduna ez bezala, desira nekez da gobernatzen, ordea, eta Fredenek lehengo bizitza gogoratuko du: bere senar Lukerekin amodioa egiten zuenekoa, alabarekin jostatzen zenekoa, ofizio bat, beraren dirua eta ezagutzarako sarbidea zituenekoa. Orain, akabo guztia. Jainkoak eta Gobernuak bat egiten dute distopia aztoragarri honetan, eta erregimen ahalguztidun baten itxura hartzen. Politikaren eta sexuaren arteko lotura ilunenetako batzuei argi emanez, mehatxu ezkutu bat agerrarazten du: gizarte osoa azpiratzeko lehen urratsa emakumeak mendean hartzea da. Antizipazio izugarriz, 80ko hamarkadan kaleratu zuen Margaret Atwoodek eleberria, bere prosak ohi duen sarkasmo sotil eta ideien argitasuna lagun. Urteek indartu baizik ez dute egiten istorio lazgarri hau.

Giovanni, Maurizio de

Una ragazza, nuda, in una grotta che affaccia su una spiaggia appartata della città, l'hanno uccisa con una coltellata al cuore. Un abito da sposa che galleggia sull'acqua. In un febbraio gelido che sembra ricacciare indietro nell'anima i sentimenti, impedendogli di uscire alla luce del sole, Lojacono e i Bastardi si trovano a indagare su un omicidio che non ha alcuna spiegazione evidente. O forse ne ha troppe. Ognuno con il proprio segreto, ognuno con il proprio sogno ben nascosto, i poliziotti di Pizzofalcone ce la metteranno tutta per risolvere il mistero: la ragazza della grotta lo esige. Perché non solo qualcuno le ha tolto il futuro, ma lo ha fatto un attimo prima di un giorno speciale. Quello che doveva essere il più bello della sua vita.
