Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A searing memoir of American racism from a Somali-American who survived hardships in his birth country only to experience firsthand the dehumanization of Black people in his adopted land, the United States.'No one told me about America.' Born in Somalia and raised in a valley among nomads, B…oyah Farah grew up with a code of male bravado that helped him survive deprivation, disease, and civil war. Arriving in America, he believed that the code that had saved him would help him succeed in this new country. But instead of safety and freedom, Boyah found systemic racism, police brutality, and intense prejudice in all areas of life, including the workplace. He learned firsthand not only what it meant to be an African in America, but what it means to be African American. The code of masculinity that shaped generations of men in his family could not prepare Farah for the painful realities of life in the United States. Lyrical yet unsparing, America Made Me a Black Man is the first book-length examination of American racism from an African perspective. With a singular poetic voice brimming with imagery, Boyah Farah challenges us to face difficult truths about the destructive forces that threaten Black lives. By affirming that there is a 'melancholy redemption in possessing a Black body in America,' he also attempts to heal a fracture in Black men's identity in this unforgettable book. 256 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -From the beloved New York Times bestselling author of the Practical Magic series comes an enchanting novel about love, heartbreak, self-discovery and the enduring magic of books. Sixteen-year-old Ivy is pregnant and alone. Cast out by her family, she runs away and finds safety in the arms of… Joel Davis. He offers a simpler life than the one she had in Boston, a quiet, rural life of rules, peace and community. Little does she realise, Joel is the charismatic leader of a cult known as the Community, and all is not quite as it seems. Daughter Mia has only known the claustrophobic life of the Community. While out serving the Community one weekend, she secretly commits a transgression - reading. Discovering a world beyond the edges of the Community's property is intoxicating. But breaking rules carries serious consequences, and sends Mia on a path she could never have imagined. With two fiercely wonderful heroines, The Invisible Hour is a heart-breaking and hopeful novel of family, redemption and the power of love.Praise for Alice Hoffman 'Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature'Toni Morrison 'I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers - from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war. But most of all, this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader.'Jodi Picoult 'In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of sexual desire, women's solidarity in the face of strife, and the magic that's quietly present in our day-to-day living. Put The Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffman's extraordinary body of work. I was blown away.'Wally Lamb 'Alice Hoffman takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things.'Amy Tan 'Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel'Joseph Heller 'Oh, what a book this is! Hoffman's exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us - it is a glorious experience.'Elizabeth Strout 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -For fans of Celeste Ng comes a transfixing debut novel about how life's small decisions can ultimately yield the most powerful consequences. Everyone always wants to know why relationships fail. It's a spiteful curiosity thing, schadenfreude, but also a self-preservation thing. People want t…o understand how to avoid the fall.The answer is complicated. There isn't one reason, one event. It has something to do with smoking cigarettes and drinking all night. It takes into account thousands of hours of labour on a small house, projects finished and unfinished. It is late-night conversations and inside jokes and making love and having a child. The answer is wrapped up, shrouded and ensconced in prioritization, ambition and work. Caring about these things is not the problem. Not caring about them is death. Emma has settled into her hometown bar for the evening. It was in this very room that she met Lucas a few years back, on a blind date. Nine months ago, in unimaginable circumstances, they divorced. As Emma listens to the locals' banter, key facts about her life story begin to emerge and the past comes bearing down on her like a freight train. A powerhouse in the business world, why has she ended up here, now a regular in the last bar on the edge of a small town What is she running away from And what is she willing to give up in order to recapture the love she has lost As Emma teeters on the edge of oblivion, becoming more booze-soaked by the hour, her night begins to spin out of control with shocking results. 'Seen through keen eyes and full of deep feeling, Ordinary Hazards delves into the psyche of a woman grappling with grief, loss, and the burdens of inheritance. Anna Bruno vividly renders the messiness of a single human life in all its joy and heartbreak.' -CLAIRE LOMBARDO, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had 'Crisp, haunting, and intelligent. Beneath the surface of this booze-soaked, small town, dive bar novel lies a devastating story of loss, guilt, and grief. Bruno's narrator proves a dark, funny, unflinching companion as you descend with her, step by step, towards the revelation of what has led her to the bar tonight.' -STEPHEN MARKLEY, author of Ohio 'Quiet but emotionally engaging, this atmospheric novel has a raft of enduring characters who prompt her memories. Bruno has a gift for observation which she uses to produce a haunting examination of love, loss and grief.' -Fanny Blake, Daily Mail 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The remarkable and inspirational story of Oksana Masters, who was born with radiation-induced birth defects and suffered appalling abuse as an orphan, before being adopted and moving to the US, where she went on to triumph over her challenges to win ten Paralympic medals in four different sp…orts. Oksana Masters was born in the shadow of Chernobyl, with one kidney, a partial stomach, six toes on each foot, webbed fingers, no right bicep and no thumbs. Her left leg was six inches shorter than her right, and she was missing both tibias. Relinquished to the orphanage system by birth parents daunted by the staggering cost of their child's medical care, Oksana encountered numerous abuses, some horrifying. Salvation came at the age of seven when Gay Masters, an unmarried American professor who saw a photo of the little girl and became haunted by her eyes, waged a two-year war against stubborn adoption authorities to rescue Oksana from her circumstances. In America, Oksana endured years of operations that included a double leg amputation. Still, how could she hope to fit in when there were so many things making her different As it turned out, she would do much more than fit in. Determined to prove herself and fuelled by a drive to succeed that still smouldered from childhood, Oksana triumphed in not just one sport but four - winning against the world's best in rowing, biathlon, cross-country skiing and road cycling competitions. This is Oksana's astonishing story of journeying through a series of dark tunnels - and how, with her mother's love, she finally found her way into the light. Her message to anyone who doesn't fit in: you can find a place where you excel and where you have worth. 336 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -It is Brighton, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the pier is having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack - Jack Robinson, as in 'before you can say' - is everyone'…s favourite compère, a born entertainer, holding the whole show together. As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures. Rich, comic, alive and subtly devastating, Here We Are is a masterly piece of literary magicianship which pulls back the curtain on the human condition. 'One to watch for 2020' according to:The Sunday Times The TimesThe Daily Telegraph The Guardian Financial Times Evening Standard The Scotsman The Irish Times 'He tells simple, truthful stories about what feel like real people. Here We Are is a welcome addition to a proud legacy.' The Big Issue The variety of voices and its historical and emotional reach are so finely entwined, it is as perfect and smooth as an egg. Passages leap out all the time, demanding to be reread, or committed to memory. It is perhaps too simple to say that Swift creates a form of fictional magic, but what he can do with a page is out of the ordinary, far beyond most mortals' ken.' Rosemary Goring,The Herald'Here We Are is a subtle portrait of a vanished world, with moving passages about the problems of wartime evacuees returning to impoverished London life after the wonders of the countryside.' The Independent 'In Here We Are, Swift does not just dwell on the pivotal moments of our lives, but traces their shockwaves both forward and back. Moving seamlessly from pre-war to post, from the events of one illusory, youthful summer to the present, we are given candid access to the innermost reflections of three people who loved and betrayed each other. The end result is the stuff of life, an enduring mystery that Ronnie, Evie, Jack - that we all - must live with. I thought it was wonderful.' Joseph Knox, author of Sirens'As with all his books, it's the moments of quiet, undramatic poignancy that stay with you' Sunday Express'a quietly, devastating, magical novel' Telegraph'With a wizardry of his own, Swift conjures up an about-to-disappear little world and turns it into something of wider resonance' Sunday Times 'We are propelled into something extraordinary.Swift's closing account of a mundane world momentarily pierced by a shaft of numinous mystery is magnificent' New York Times 'Graham Swift has perfected a distinctive style.his beautiful new novel Here We Are.is a work of magic: neither trick nor illusion, but a flash of truth' Wall Street Journal 'Swift captures the tragicomedy of life' Washington Post 'Here We Are is a paragon of the magic of compressed narration.Once again, Swift has demonstrated wizardry in his ability to conjure magic out of ordinary lives' NPR USA ' ''Here we are.' How easily those three small words can vanish in expected niceties-and how loaded they can be with bewilderment at the inexorable ''tilt of the world''. Graham Swift conjures them all, and more, in this short, word-perfect novel' Sydney Morning Herald 'Graham Swift is the quiet master of fiction' The Age, Melbourne 'An ethereal foray into the vanishing world of the magician.beautiful, breath-taking and heart 208 pp. Englisch.

Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£15.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++… copy, looks unread. 274pp. A stirring account of the town that inspired one of the world's most celebrated and controversial works of art, the painting Guernica's profound impact on the politics and culture of the 20th century, and the artist whose passion and artistic vision are unequaled in modern history. On April 26th 1937 the German Luftwaffe began relentless bombing and machine gunning of businesses, homes and villages to test a new type of warfare waged from the air, at the request of General Francisco Franco and his rebel forces. Three and a half hours later, the village lay in ruins, its population decimated. This act of terror and unspeakable cruelty, the first intentional, large scale attack against a nonmilitary target in modern warfare, outraged the world and compelled a Spanish painter to respond with artistic fury. Pablo Picasso, an expatriate living in Paris, reacted immediately to the devastation in his homeland by beginning work on the canvas that would become his testament against the horrors of war. Weaving themes of conflict and redemption, doom and transcendence, and featuring some of the century's most memorable and infamous figures, Martin follows this renowned masterwork from its creation through its journey across decades, from many countries of Europe to America and finally and triumphantly to Spain. 'Picasso's War' is a book that vividly demonstrates how vital art is to human lives and how sometimes it even transfigures tragedy, a story that delivers an unforgettable portrait of an artistic genius whose visionary rendering of the terrible wounds of war still resonates profoundly today. Jacket after Pablo Picasso (ilustrador).

This frees her up not only to tell a story of universal moral interest, but also to deliver a perceptive account of specifically Indian anxieties. A Guardian and a Thief dramatises, to superb effect, the Indian elite's great fear: a world in which they are forced to share' Guardian'Nothing goes to plan in this propulsive black farce which combines vertiginous plot twists and a persuasive doomy atmosphere with a terrific spin on the moral hypocrisy of the Indian middle classes.' Daily Mail'Gripping. [It] is an impressive novel. Pages suffused with ambient menace also accommodate tenderness' Spectator'An indictment of this moment and a timeless parable about the lengths we go to for love and self-preservation, written in exuberant prose - this is a novel that will burrow its way into your soul and remain there forever' Tahmima AnamNAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORKER, WASHINGTON POST, NPR, ATLANTIC, TIME, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, ELLE, KIRKUS, BOOKPAGEMegha Majumdar's electrifying new novel, following her acclaimed New York Times Bestseller A Burning-longlisted for the National Book Award-is set in a near-future Kolkata, India, ravaged by climate change and food scarcity, in which two families seeking to protect their children must battle each other-a piercing and propulsive tour de force. In a near-future Kolkata beset by flooding and famine, Ma, her two-year-old daughter Mishti, and her elderly father Dadu are just days from leaving the collapsing city behind to join Ma's husband in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After procuring long-awaited visas from the consulate, they pack their bags for the flight to America. But in the morning they awaken to discover that Ma's purse, with all the treasured immigration documents within it, has been stolen.Set over the course of one week, A Guardian and a Thief tells two stories: the story of Ma's frantic search for the thief while keeping hunger at bay during a worsening food shortage; and the story of Boomba, the thief, whose desperation to care for his family drives him to commit a series of escalating crimes whose consequences he cannot fathom. With stunning control and command, Megha Majumdar paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of two families, each operating from a place of ferocious love and undefeated hope, each discovering how far they will go to secure their children's future as they stave off encroaching catastrophe.A masterful new work from one of the most exciting voices of her generation.'A true literary achievement. Majumdar creates a tense and deeply compassionate portrait of desperation, fear and the combined selflessness and selfishness of parenthood. Detail is the strongest thing in A Guardian and a Thief. It conveys the nuances of not only love but also wisdom. a true joy to read.' New York Times 224 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2026A GUARDIAN 'BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026'OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICKTIME MUST-READ BOOKWINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN FICTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTIONFINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE'Majumdar evades the… narrative clunkiness that inevitably attends attempts to explain India to the west. This frees her up not only to tell a story of universal moral interest, but also to deliver a perceptive account of specifically Indian anxieties. A Guardian and a Thief dramatises, to superb effect, the Indian elite's great fear: a world in which they are forced to share' Guardian'Nothing goes to plan in this propulsive black farce which combines vertiginous plot twists and a persuasive doomy atmosphere with a terrific spin on the moral hypocrisy of the Indian middle classes.' Daily Mail'Gripping. [It] is an impressive novel. Pages suffused with ambient menace also accommodate tenderness' Spectator'An indictment of this moment and a timeless parable about the lengths we go to for love and self-preservation, written in exuberant prose - this is a novel that will burrow its way into your soul and remain there forever' Tahmima AnamNAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORKER, WASHINGTON POST, NPR, ATLANTIC, TIME, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, ELLE, KIRKUS, BOOKPAGEMegha Majumdar's electrifying new novel, following her acclaimed New York Times Bestseller A Burning-longlisted for the National Book Award-is set in a near-future Kolkata, India, ravaged by climate change and food scarcity, in which two families seeking to protect their children must battle each other-a piercing and propulsive tour de force. In a near-future Kolkata beset by flooding and famine, Ma, her two-year-old daughter Mishti, and her elderly father Dadu are just days from leaving the collapsing city behind to join Ma's husband in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After procuring long-awaited visas from the consulate, they pack their bags for the flight to America. But in the morning they awaken to discover that Ma's purse, with all the treasured immigration documents within it, has been stolen.Set over the course of one week, A Guardian and a Thief tells two stories: the story of Ma's frantic search for the thief while keeping hunger at bay during a worsening food shortage; and the story of Boomba, the thief, whose desperation to care for his family drives him to commit a series of escalating crimes whose consequences he cannot fathom. With stunning control and command, Megha Majumdar paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of two families, each operating from a place of ferocious love and undefeated hope, each discovering how far they will go to secure their children's future as they stave off encroaching catastrophe.A masterful new work from one of the most exciting voices of her generation.'A true literary achievement. Majumdar creates a tense and deeply compassionate portrait of desperation, fear and the combined selflessness and selfishness of parenthood. Detail is the strongest thing in A Guardian and a Thief. It conveys the nuances of not only love but also wisdom. a true joy to read.' New York Times 224 pp. Englisch.

Sophia awakes in her new apartment. She is glad to be there, glad to have broken free of the quiet suffocation of her parental home, glad to have finally struck out on her own. And good fortune had brought her to this curious building, tucked away in the only part of the city that had survived the ravages of the last war, the Coralena, with its marked grey sandstone, ornate windows, and the decorous carving of a young woman's face above the door. Sophia is feeling pleased with herself, pleased too with the Coralena's beguiling complement of fussy old men and fussier women, intrigued by her grande dame of a landlady and her enigmatic, attractively rebellious son Dieter. She is leaving her past, with all its troubles and traumas, behind. Life seems full of possibility. At work, her boss has given her new responsibilities, here Dieter appears as interested in her as she is in him, untouched since the war the flat, like her life, seems ripe for renewal. She awakes, full of these promises, and looking across the room sees written on the morning condensation of the inside window one word RAGE. So it begins for Sophia. Set against the background of 1970s Germany, a country in political and spiritual turmoil, she is forced upon a terrifying journey of discovery where past and future collide. Scarce signed. Jacket photo by E. O. Hoppe (ilustrador). Signed by Author(s).
