Quinn

Strang, E.M.

A piercingly original debut about the limits of forgiveness, from an award-winning Scottish poet* A New Statesman Most Anticipated Title for 2023 *From an award-winning Scottish poet, an unforgettable novel about memory and radical forgivenessHow far would you go to overcome the limits of your own forgiveness?Quinn is serving a life sentence for a crime he's convinced he hasn't committed. Surely the authorities have got it wrong, and when they find his childhood sweetheart, Andrea, his name will be cleared. His parole date is drawing near when he receives an unexpected letter from Andrea's mother, who invites Quinn to share her home.It soon becomes clear that what appears to be a genuine act of forgiveness is influenced by more complex motivations. As the duo navigate the thorny terrain of guilt, justice and mutual need that underpins their relationship, the story of Quinn's past is gradually revealed, setting in motion a final reckoning.Em Strang's first novel is a hypnotic rendering of an unravelling mind and a visceral story about the very limits of forgiveness.

Shrines of gaiety

Atkinson, Kate

1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time.The notorious queen of this glittering world is Nellie Coker, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including the enigmatic eldest, Niven, whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie’s empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho’s gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost.With her unique Dickensian flair, Kate Atkinson gives us a window in a vanished world. Slyly funny, brilliantly observant, and ingeniously plotted, Shrines of Gaiety showcases the myriad talents that have made Atkinson one of the most lauded writers of our time.

Visions of earth

Aavv

Visions of Earth raises a curtain on the wonders of the world and thrills us with nature's opulence and humanity's splendor. Each image alone exposes a nugget of our planet's magnificence, the totality of the collection goes beyond our imagination. Turning the pages, viewers are struck by the richness of life on Earth. One photograph is more awe-inspiring than the next--chosen by veteran National Geographic Magazine photo editors to present what is visually incredible. The photographs are drawn from the popular ''Visions of Earth'' feature in the magazine, (rated #1 by readers), from our own storied Image Collection, and from renowned photographers throughout the world, many never-before published.Enthralling images fill the book in a gallery of stunning landscapes, fascinating people, amazing animals, and unexpected glimpses of the usual and unusual. Puffins' beaks signal breeding time in Norway and a speckled emperor moth in South Africa diverts predators with an illusion. An elephant takes a morning dip in India's Andaman Sea while Siamese crocodiles race in Thailand and surfers in Australia relish a perfect day. Monks in Bhutan run to dinner and a little girl in red stands out among white-robed women in an Indonesian mosque. Spanish youth decked in colorful, oversize papier-mâché heads celebrate a festival in Catalonia and a flower of flame blooms from a man's kerosene-filled mouth in a Sikh celebration in India.Around the globe, amazing moments are captured in time, from a spray of flash frozen petal fragments in California to a truck show of chrome-covered and gleaming neon rigs half the world away in Japan.

Size

Size

Smil, Vaclav

Size is the most fundamental structural variable of the universe. Neither bacteria nor empires are immune to its laws. Measuring it is challenging, especially where complex systems like economies are concerned, yet mastering it offers rich rewards: the rise of the West, for example, was a direct result of ever more accurate and standardized measurements.Grounded in history and drawing on the latest science, with much recourse to art and classic literature, Size explains the regularities - and peculiarities - of the key processes shaping life (from microbes to whales), the Earth (from asteroids to volcanic eruptions), technical advances (from architecture to transportation), and societies and economies (from cities to wages). We learn, for example, the rules behind beauty, why a biosphere needs diversity, how to predict the size of a country, why bigger animals need proportionately less food and how a particular level of wealth inequality is inherent.Is bigger better? Can something keep growing indefinitely, or be too big to fail? To answer any of the most important questions of our age, and secure our future, we must understand size. Vaclav Smil tackles a goliath subject and it is no exaggeration to say that this tour de force will change the way you look at absolutely everything.

Think again

Grant, Adam

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential, Originals, and Give and Take examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in lifeIntelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Rubén es famoso porque sale diciendo gilipolleces en televisión sobre Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Simeone y compañía, vive en Madrid, en un coqueto piso en Malasaña, el barrio de moda, y folla por encima de sus posibilidades con montones de mujeres que se le apelotonan en las redes sociales. Lo tiene todo a favor. Pero él no ha ido a Madrid a eso. Rubén necesita escribir la novela definitiva, una historia que sea reflejo de lo que sueña, siente y piensa sobre la vida y todo lo demás. Ante la dificultad de plasmar el texto y bajo la premisa de que vivir es de alguna forma nutrir de experiencias a su futura novela, se deja arrastrar por la imprevisible vida de Madrid, por sus bares, sus cañas, sus noches, por esas mujeres que a todas horas buscan pasar un rato con el famoso de la tele sin importarle quién hay detrás. Solo se impone tres reglas: no enamorarse, no follar por Tinder y no vender el tiempo que necesita para escribir la novela. Pero las cosas no salen según lo planeado y en esta vorágine que es su vida, Rubén tendrá que resolver una cuestión a la que jamás pensó tener que enfrentarse: ¿Cuántas veces puede un hombre tocar fondo sin volverse loco?

La novela olvidada en la casa del ingeniero

Puértolas, Soledad

Una historia dentro de una historia dentro de una historia, en la que los mecanismos de la ficción se ajustan en un encaje perfecto. Un escritor de novela juvenil recibe un día, de parte de un amigo, un manuscrito hallado en una casa de campo donde residió, durante años, un ingeniero. Enseguida el texto despierta la curiosidad y la imaginación, pues todo en él parece tocado por el misterio. ¿Quién es realmente el autor o la autora de ese manuscrito? ¿Qué vínculos debía de tener con el propietario de la casa? ¿Es cierto todo lo que se cuenta sobre la historia de una familia? ¿Y dónde reside el valor literario de esa narración?Esta novela es en verdad un juego de espejos donde los narradores se multiplican mientras la voz que guía el manuscrito parece deslizarse entre ellos, grácil e inasible. Es también un homenaje a la ficción, una poética en la que, con un dominio extraordinario de la prosa y la psicología de los personajes, Soledad Puértolas ordena el caos y lo convierte en armonía.

L'Hospital de La Vall

Vilagut, Jordi

L'inestable regnat de Ferran VII d'Espanya, unit a les males collites i al temor per part de l'Església de perdre els seus privilegis, propicia el sorgiment a la Catalunya rural d'un sentiment ultraconservador i que es propagui un clima de Guerra Civil. Des de quatre escenaris diferents sorgeixen quatre històries paral·leles que acabaran confluint anys després en un recòndit mas del Solsonès convertit, de manera improvisada, en hospital de sang en plena guerra carlina. Una monja, un jove metge o un capellà bel·licós que fa costat als guerrillers il·lustren una història on es barregen la tensió, la intriga i els sentiments i passions més difícils de controlar. Un relat basat en episodis reals succeïts durant les guerres carlines que aconsegueix estremir per la cruesa d'alguns dels seus passatges i que ens acosta a la psicologia d'uns personatges que veuen com el context bèl·lic acaba marcant les seves vides.

La virgen y el gitano

Lawrence, D. H.

«La virgen y el gitano» es una de las más provocativas y escandalosas novellas del inglés D.H. Lawrence. Escrita en 1926 en Italia, pero solo publicada tras la muerte del autor en 1930, fue inmediatamente reconocida como una obra maestra. En ella se relata la historia de Yvette, la hija de un reprimido vicario anglicano, quien, tras regresar de un viaje al extranjero, descubre que se siente asfixiada por el ambiente de su nuevo hogar, situado en la Inglaterra profunda, y en el que reina su abuela, una anciana ciega y avara. En el curso de una excursión campestre, junto con unos amigos, la virginal Yvette traba amistad con un gitano y con su familia. Súbitamente, se siente fascinada por el gitano, en el que descubre un espíritu libre, un igual, y empieza también a albergar deseos sexuales que hasta entonces le eran desconocidos. Novela en cierto modo oculta, maldita, muy en la línea de las obras más escandalosas de Lawrence, y poseedora de toda su fuerza transgresora, esta es la primera traducción realizada al castellano desde hace más de veinticinco años, y la primera totalmente nueva basada en la Edición Cambridge, que incorpora todos los elementos de la redacción original. En La virgen y el gitano encontramos, destiladas, todas las ideas de Lawrence sobre la sexualidad y la moralidad. Esta obra está impregnada de ternura y de un profundo conocimiento del alma humana.

I never should have taken that loan but my aunt needed meds I couldn’t afford. Now I’ve been sold to slavery and the Elf King himself has bought me. It will take me five years to pay off the debt as his personal assistant. His council has tasked me with finding him a wife. That part should be easy: he’s rich, disgustingly handsome, and smart to boot. But, he’s rejecting every high-born female I send his way. The more time we spend together, the more we realize I’m not just some half elf. There is a deep power that runs through my veins. I enter into a fake marriage with him so that he can get the council off his back. A great idea, as long as I don’t fall in love with him...

My name is Barbra

Streisand, Barbra

Barbra Streisand is by any account a living legend, a woman who in a career spanning six decades has excelled in every area of entertainment. She is among the handful of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in popular music. She has been nominated for a Grammy 46 times, and with Yentl she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture. In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary career, from growing up in Brooklyn to her first star-making appearances in New York nightclubs to her breakout performance in Funny Girl (musical and film) to the long string of successes in every medium in the years that followed. The book is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming. She recounts her early struggles to become an actress, eventually turning to singing to earn a living, the recording of some of her acclaimed albums, the years of effort involved in making Yentl, her direction of The Prince of Tides, her friendships with figures ranging from Marlon Brando to Madeleine Albright, her political advocacy, and the fulfillment she’s found in her marriage to James Brolin. No entertainer’s memoir has been more anticipated than Barbra Streisand’s, and this engrossing and delightful book will be eagerly welcomed by her millions of fans.

A short history of humanity

Krause, Johannes

Humanity has often found itself on the precipice. We've survived and thrived because we've never stopped moving...In this eye-opening book, Johannes Krause, Chair of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Humanity, offers a new way of understanding our past, present and future.Marshalling unique insights from archaeogenetics, an emerging new discipline that allows us to read our ancestors' DNA like journals chronicling personal stories of migration, Krause charts two millennia of adaption, movement and survival, culminating in the triumph of Homo Sapiens as we swept through Europe and beyond in successive waves of migration - developing everything from language, the patriarchy, disease, art and a love of pets as we did so.We also meet our ancestors, from those many of us have heard of - such as Homo Erectus and the Neanderthals - to the wildly unfamiliar but no less real: the recently discovered Denisovans, who ranged across Asia and, like humans, interbred with Neanderthals, the Aurignacians, skilled artists who, 40,000 years ago, brought about an extraordinary transformation in what our species could invent and create, the Varna, who buried their loved ones with gold long before the Pharaohs of Egypt did, and the Gravettians, big game hunters who were Europe's most successful early settlers until they perished in the face of the toughest opponent humanity had ever faced: the ice age.As well as being a radical new telling of our shared story, this book is a reminder that the global problems that keep us awake at night - climate catastrophe, the sudden emergence of deadly epidemics, refugee crises, ethnic conflict, over-population - are all things we've faced, and overcome, before.

The terrorist's son

Ebrahim, Zak

An extraordinary story, never before told: The intimate, behind-the-scenes life of an American boy raised by his terrorist father—the man who planned the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.What is it like to grow up with a terrorist in your home? Zak Ebrahim was only seven years old when, on November 5th, 1990, his father El-Sayyid Nosair shot and killed the leader of the Jewish Defense League. While in prison, Nosair helped plan the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. In one of his infamous video messages, Osama bin Laden urged the world to “Remember El-Sayyid Nosair.”For Zak Ebrahim, a childhood amongst terrorism was all he knew. After his father’s incarceration, his family moved often, and as the perpetual new kid in class, he faced constant teasing and exclusion. Yet, though his radicalized father and uncles modeled fanatical beliefs, to Ebrahim something never felt right. To the shy, awkward boy, something about the hateful feelings just felt unnatural.In this book, Ebrahim dispels the myth that terrorism is a foregone conclusion for people trained to hate. Based on his own remarkable journey, he shows that hate is always a choice—but so is tolerance. Though Ebrahim was subjected to a violent, intolerant ideology throughout his childhood, he did not become radicalized. Ebrahim argues that people conditioned to be terrorists are actually well positioned to combat terrorism, because of their ability to bring seemingly incompatible ideologies together in conversation and advocate in the fight for peace. Ebrahim argues that everyone, regardless of their upbringing or circumstances, can learn to tap into their inherent empathy and embrace tolerance over hatred. His original, urgent message is fresh, groundbreaking, and essential to the current discussion about terrorism.

But C-3PO wasn't an amazing display of animatronics with a unique and unforgettable voiceover. Inside the metal costume was an actor named Anthony Daniels.

In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with CINEMA SPECULATION, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans - and all movie lovers - could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining.

Magnum streetwise: the ultimate collection of street photography

Mclaren, Stephen

The ultimate collection of street photography from Magnum Photos. Magnum Streetwise is the definitive collection of street photography from Magnum Photos, and an unparalleled opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the true greats of the genre. An essential addition to the street photography canon, this volume showcases hidden gems alongside many of street photography’s most famous images. Magnum photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson pioneered modern concepts of street photography before the term was even coined. A rich seam of street photography runs through the heart of Magnum to this day, both in the work of recognized masters of the genre―including Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden, and Richard Kalvar―and in the work of those who may not think of themselves as street photographers, despite their powerful influence on the current generation of budding artists. Magnum Streetwise is a true visual feast, interleaving insightful text and anecdotes within an intuitive blend of photographer- and theme-focused sections. Ambitious in scope and democratic in nature, Magnum Streetwise is an unmissable tour through the photographs and practices that have helped define what street photography is―and what it can be. 400 illustrations
