Some people think foxes go around collecting qi, or life force, but nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures, just like you, only usually better looking . . .Manchuria, 1908: A young woman is found frozen in the snow. Her death is clouded by rumours of foxes, believed to lure people into peril by transforming into beautiful women and men. Bao, a detective with a reputation for sniffing out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they've remained tantalizingly out of reach. Until, perhaps, now.Meanwhile, the family of a famous Chinese medicine shop can cure all ailments except the curse that afflicts them. All their eldest sons die before their twentyfourth birthdays. Now the only grandson of the family is twentythree. When a mysterious woman enters their household, their luck seems to change. But is their new servant a simple young woman from the north, or a fox spirit bent on her own revenge?New York Times bestselling author Yangsze Choo brilliantly explores a world of mortals and spirits, humans and beasts, and their dazzling intersection. The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about dead bodies found in the snow, a mother seeking revenge, and old folk tales that may very well be true.

«Ein Roman, der grundsätzlich den richtigen Ton trifft, zwischen spöttischer Distanz, Analyse und Einfühlung, sodass sich das herzerwärmende Tschick-Gefühl von Wolfgang Herrndorf einstellt.» ORFEin elitäres Wiener Internat, untergebracht in der ehemaligen Sommerresidenz der Habsburger, der Klassenlehrer ein antiquierter und despotischer Mann. Was lässt sich hier fürs Leben lernen? Till Kokorda kann weder mit dem Kanon noch mit dem snobistischen Umfeld viel anfangen. Seine Leidenschaft sind Computerspiele, konkret: das Echtzeit-Strategiespiel Age of Empires 2. Ohne dass jemand aus seiner Umgebung davon wüsste, ist er mit fünfzehn eine Online-Berühmtheit, der jüngste Top-10-Spieler der Welt. Nur: Wie real ist so ein Glück?Tonio Schachinger erzählt von einer Jugend zwischen Gaming und Klassikerlektüre, von Freiheitslust, die sich bewähren muss gegen flammende Traditionalisten - und von dem unkalkulierbaren Rest, der nicht nur die Abschlussklasse 2020 vor ungesehene Herausforderungen stellt. Dabei sind die Wendungen so überraschend, sein Humor so uneitel und nahbar: Echtzeitalter ist Beispiel und Beweis für die zeitlose Kraft einer guten Geschichte. Und ein großer Gesellschaftsroman.

In a distant, tattered future an old woman, a young girl and mechanical man embark on a slow voyage in the shadow of the great dragon Haakenur up the vast estuary towards the city of Ludwich…Past plants on the mud-flats that send up brief, man-shaped clouds of seeds to lure you out, past shanty towns full of old sailors and pilots scraping a living from the dregs of the passenger trade, between the wicker effigies in the Wodwo graveyards this is a journey at once familiar from folk tales and country customs and utterly strange and alien.Cady, back on her boat and feeling every day of her 1,600 years, the tight-lipped but beautiful little girl and her rubber-stitched-faced, mechanical companion are an odd but warmly imagined and compelling cast to accompany the reader on a quest into a world of mysteries and terrors that leave the reader with an inkling that this world is perhaps more familiar than it first appears.Can Cady find her youth again?

A powerful portrait of sexual awakening and self-acceptance set in a Nigeria on the brink of criminalizing same-sex relationships.Uzoamaka’s miracle baby, Obiefuna, arrives after a series of miscarriages. As a young boy, he brings luck to his family and joy to those in his orbit, from the teachers at his school to the ladies getting their hair braided at Uzoamaka’s salon. But by adolescence, Obiefuna has grown unsure of himself. After his father brings home an apprentice from a nearby village, the lightness Obiefuna feels is quickly dashed when the two are caught sharing a moment of intimacy.Without explanation, Obiefuna is sent off to Christian boarding school, where he must navigate strict codes, hierarchies, and alliances among his new classmates. There, he internalizes the lesson that he must hide his true self, pushing away those who may have otherwise brought him comfort. Back home, Uzoamaka must contend with the absence of her beloved son, her husband’s cryptic reasons for sending him away, and realizations that were within her all along.Told from the alternating perspectives of Obiefuna and Uzoamaka, as they reach towards a future that will hold them both, Blessings is an elegant rendering of the compromises made in a country that forbids homosexuality and the love that can flourish in spite of them—among friends and partners, but also between a parent and child.

Pour la première fois depuis quinze ans, le nom de cette femme lui occupait l'esprit, et ce nom entraînerait à sa suite, certainement, le souvenir d'autres personnes qu'il avait vues autour d'elle, dans la maison de la rue du Docteur-Kurzenne. Jusque-là, sa mémoire concernant ces personnes avait traversé une longue période d'hibernation, mais voilà, c'était fini, les fantômes ne craignaient pas de réapparaître au grand jour. Qui sait ? Dans les années suivantes, ils se rappelleraient encore à son bon souvenir, à la manière des maîtres chanteurs. Et, ne pouvant revivre le passé pour le corriger, le meilleur moyen de les rendre définitivement inoffensifs et de les tenir à distance, ce serait de les métamorphoser en personnages de roman''.

Hailed by George Bernard Shaw as 'useful [corrective] to the romantic conception of war', R.C. Sherriff's ''Journey's End'' is an unflinching vision of life in the trenches towards the end of the First World War, published in ''Penguin Classics''.Set in the First World War, ''Journey's End'' concerns a group of British officers on the front line and opens in a dugout in the trenches in France. Raleigh, a new eighteen-year-old officer fresh out of English public school, joins the besieged company of his friend and cricketing hero Stanhope, and finds him dramatically changed.Laurence Olivier starred as Stanhope in the first performance of ''Journey's End'' in 1928, the play was an instant stage success and remains a remarkable anti-war classic.R.C. Sherriff (1896-1975) joined the army shortly after the outbreak of the First World War, serving as a captain in the East Surrey regiment. After the war, an interest in amateur theatricals led him to try his hand at writing. Following rejection by many theatre managements, ''Journey's End'' was given a single performance by the Incorporated Stage Society, in which Lawrence Olivier took the lead role. The play's enormous success enabled Sherriff to become a full-time writer, with plays such as ''Badger's Green'' (1930), ''St Helena'' (1935), and ''The Long Sunset'' (1955), though he is also remembered as a screenplay writer, for films such as ''The Invisible Man'' (1933), ''Goodbye Mr Chips'' (1933) and ''The Dam Busters'' (1955).
