An American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family's Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village's grim history.Ashley Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall, country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house, festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma's aloof and handsome brother.But Adam is being investigated by the local police over the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more sinister and terrifying than she'd ever imagined?Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.

The Use of Photography recounts a passionate love affair between Annie Ernaux and the journalist and author Marc Marie, after the two met in January 2003. Ernaux had been receiving intensive chemo for breast cancer during the prior three months, and had lost all her hair from the treatments. At the end of January she had surgery, followed by radiation therapy. The affair took place in different locations and Ernaux describes how, shortly after it began, she found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place and the remains of their last meal of the evening still on the table – and how painful it felt to put things back in order afterwards. She went and got her camera, and began to take photographs of the scenes of disarray. When she told Marc Marie what she had done, he said he had felt the same desire. Translated by Alison L. Strayer into English for the first time, The Use of Photography is an extraordinary meditation on eroticism, photography and writing, a major work by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.

Facebook had a problem. Along with its sister platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, it was a daily destination for billions of users around the world, extolling its products for connecting people. But as a succession of scandals rocked Facebook from 2016, some began to question whether the company could control, or even understood, its own platforms.As Facebook employees searched for answers, what they uncovered was worse than they could've imagined. The problems ran far deeper than politics. Facebook was peddling and amplifying anger, looking the other way at human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians and allowing VIP users to break the platform's supposedly inviolable rules.It turned out to be eminently possible to isolate many of Facebook's worst problems, but whenever employees offered solutions their work was consistently delayed, watered down or stifled by a company that valued user engagement above all else. The only option left was to blow the whistle.In Broken Code, award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz tells the riveting inside story of these employees and their explosive discoveries, uncovering the shocking cost of Facebook's blind ambition in the process.

Does terroir really matter? What are the origins of wine and food pairings? Has professional wine tasting led to a uniformity of taste? Are we killing vines by the way we cultivate them? Is it paradoxical to talk about natural wines? How do economics influence wine styles?One Thousand Vines isn't an encyclopedia or atlas but it answers all the important questions about wine and offers the reader keys to understand the links between the bottle and the producers, terroirs and vineyards which give birth to it. With a refreshingly unique approach, star sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier offers those curious about wine not only the answers but also the tools to understand it by oneself.The book contains three parts - Reading the Vines, Reading the Landscapes and Reading the Wines - each broken down into chapters and shorter sub-chapters. The reader is invited to dive in as they by reading from start to finish, or by picking out topics of interest, creating their own paths, connecting dots and discovering new perspectives.In imparting the most up-to-date knowledge in the fields of botany, geography, history, sensory analysis, anthropology and gastronomy, One Thousand Vines challenges preconceived ideas about the vine and its wine. It explains where we are now, how we got here, and shows us a way forward - in how grapes will be grown, made into wine and sold and in how to taste and enjoy wine.

From the moment he interviewed Yoko Ono on his late night radio show in September 1971, Elliot Mintz’s life would never the same again. That phone call would lead him to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband, John Lennon, until John’s untimely death in 1980, and beyond, to the present day.In 1971, then the talk host on American airwaves, Elliot Mintz was talking to all of the major figures in the burgeoning West Coast music scene when he was asked whether he would interview Yoko about her new album.

Those conversations became hours-long epics, to the extent that Elliot had another phone line put in, for which only two people had the number - John and Yoko.The aftermath of The Beatles’ breakup ushered in a tumultuous decade. Elliot witnessed it, or heard all about it, at close hand including the unbearable cost of such fame when John and Yoko separated for what became known as his ‘lost weekend’. There was joy when their son Sean was born and the creative rebirth that was the multi-platinum selling triumph, Double Fantasy. But then there was unimaginable tragedy too when John was brutally murdered in December 1980.

A powerful investigation of Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation, showing how he uses philanthropy to exercise enormous political power without accountabilityThrough his vaunted philanthropy, Bill Gates transformed himself from a tech villain into one of the most admired people on the planet. Even as divorce proceedings and allegations of misconduct have recently tarnished his public image, the beneficence of the Gates Foundation, celebrated for spending billions to save lives around the globe, is taken as a given. But as Tim Schwab shows in this fearless investigation, Gates is still exactly who he was at a bully and monopolist, convinced of his own righteousness and intent on imposing his ideas, his solutions, and his leadership on everyone else. At the core, he is not a selfless philanthropist but a power broker, a clever engineer who has innovated a way to turn extreme wealth into immense political influence—and who has made us believe we should applaud his acquisition of power, not challenge it.Piercing the blinding halo that has for too long shielded the world’s most powerful (and most secretive) charitable organization from public scrutiny, The Bill Gates Problem shows how Gates’s billions have purchased a stunning level of control over public policy, private markets, scientific research, and the news media. Whether he is pushing new educational standards in America, health reforms in India, global vaccine policy during the pandemic, or Western industrialized agriculture throughout Africa, Gates’s heady social experimentation has shown itself to be not only undemocratic, but also ineffective. In many places, Bill Gates is hurting the very people he intends to help.No less than dark-money campaign contributions or big-business political lobbying, Bill Gates’s philanthropic empire needs to be seen as a problem of money in politics. It is a dangerous model of unconstrained power that threatens democracy and demands our attention.

El sábado 7 de octubre de 2023 se produjo en el sur de Israel una de las masacres hacia los judíos más sangrientas y crueles desde 1945. Cientos de militantes de Hamás asesinaron cerca de 1200 personas y tomaron alrededor de 240 rehenes que fueron llevados a Gaza. Este es el relato hora por hora de un crimen pavoroso, que no debemos olvidar.Son las 6:30 a. m. y un estruendo de cohetes comienza a aturdir en el territorio israelí. Hay drones sobrevolando para neutralizar las cámaras y ametralladoras del muro de seguridad que separa la Franja de Gaza. Al mismo tiempo, miles de asesinos traspasan el muro por túneles, llegan en motos y a pie o aterrizan en parapentes, armados hasta los dientes, y atacan a los kibutz y a los asistentes del festival Supernova. El objetivo es asesinar la mayor cantidad de judíos y capturar rehenes.Un pogrom en el siglo XXI es el resultado de semanas de investigaciones de un equipo de corresponsales franceses que reconstruyeron en breves crónicas este raid enloquecido de sangre, balas y muerte. Basado en numerosos relatos de los sobrevivientes, los últimos mensajes rescatados de celulares de las víctimas enviados a sus seres queridos, las palabras de soldados veteranos y de expertos en catástrofes y los llamativos informes previos con los que contaban los servicios secretos israelíes sobre un inminente ataque programado metódicamente hace más de un año. Este libro no pretende ser un trabajo de historiadores, sino un documento riguroso y descarnado de lo inmediato, para que el horror y la deshumanización no sean naturalizados.Los asesinos llegaron de a cientos. Mataron y siguieron matando con balas o cuchillos, a familias, niños y ancianos, incluso a mujeres embarazadas. Violaron y mutilaron para humillar y aniquilar. Los asesinos reían, se filmaban, se mostraban orgullosos por los teléfonos.Del prólogo de Étienne GernelleEstos muertos nos interrogan y también nos condenan mientras que no nos ubiquemos del lado de lo sagrado de la vida. En Israel y en Palestina.Del epílogo de Kamel Daoud

From the New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the first book in an enthralling new fantasy series about murder, magic, and madness in post-WWII London.Dennis Knuckleyard is a hapless eighteen-year-old who works and lives in a second-hand bookstore. One day, his boss and landlady, Coffin Ada, sends him to retrieve some rare books, one of which, Dennis discovers, should not exist. A London Walk by Rev.

Delving deep into the city's occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers, Dennis finds himself at the center of an explosive series of events that may endanger both Londons.Mystical, hilarious, and magnificently imagined, The Great When is an unforgettable introduction to the consciousness-altering world of Long London.

Entre los mejores libros de 2017 según The Telegraph, The Spectator, The Observer, The Times y la BBC. «Mordaz y documentado, el libro palpita a un ritmo fabuloso, y Nixey evocacon brillantez todo lo que perdimos con la decadencia del mundo clásico.»PETER THONEMANN, The Sunday Times La edad de la penumbra es la historia, en gran parte desconocida, de cómo una religión militante sometió y aniquiló deliberadamente las enseñanzas del mundo clásico, lo que abrió paso a siglos de adhesión incondicional a «una sola fe verdadera». El Imperio romano se había mostrado generoso acogiendo nuevas creencias, pero la llegada del cristianismo lo cambió todo. Esta nueva religión, pese a predicar la paz, era violenta, despiadada y decididamente intolerante. Al volverse oficial, sus fervientes seguidores emprendieron la aniquilación de quienes no estuvieran en sintonía con sus creencias. Derribaron sus altares y templos, quemaron sus libros -incluidas grandes obras filosóficas y científicas-, hicieron añicos sus estatuas y asesinaron a sus sacerdotes.Reseñas:«Fascinante. Nixey combina la autoridad de un académico con la expresividad de un buen periodista, sin miedo a lanzar un chiste extraño en medio de sombrías historias de profanación. Con considerable coraje, se enfrenta a la historia aceptada y logra imponerse.»Gerard de Groot, The Times«Audaz, deslumbrante y provocador, este libro derriba nuestra idea del cristianismo primitivo y su rápida difusión en los primeros años. Una guía ingeniosa e iconoclasta a un mundo que para muchos resultará extraño, sorprendente y turbador.»Peter Frankopan, historiador «Espléndido y valioso. Nixey nos guía con gracia y viveza por el tenebroso mundo de la opresión religiosa. Un recordatorio esencial de que la intolerancia, la ignorancia y la hostilidad ante la diversidad cultural no son, por desgracia, nada nuevo.»The New Statesman «Cautivador y convincente. Este libro, admirable fusión de narrativa y rigor, marca el debut de una formidable historiadora.»Dan Jones, historiador«Un relato potente. Una buena historia sin duda polémica por su visión de cómo las víctimas se convierten en victimarios y cómo las profesiones de amor se vuelven terroristas.»Kirkus Reviews «Un trabajo impresionante ilumina un aspecto importante del final de la edad clásica.»Levi Roach, Literary Review«Un libro inteligente, persuasivo y excepcionalmente bien escrito.»The Spectator «Nixey tiene una gran historia y la cuenta excepcionalmente bien.»Tim Whitmarsh, The Guardian «Un relato apasionado. Nixey nos recuerda con perspicacia e ímpetu que muchos aprovecharon el proyecto cristiano como excusa para destruir en lugar de amar.»BBC History Magazine, especial «Libros del Año»
