J. M. Coetzee - Foe Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Nobel Laureate and two-time Booker prize-winning author of "Disgrace" and "The Life and Times of Michael K", J. M. Coetzee reimagines Daniel DeFoe's classic novel "Robinson Crusoe in Foe". In an act of breathtaking imagination, J.M Coetzee radically reinvents the story of Robinson Crusoe. In the early eighteenth century, Susan Barton finds herself adrift from a mutinous ship and cast ashore on a remote desert island. There she finds shelter with its only other inhabitants: a man named Cruso and his tongueless slave, Friday. In time, she builds a life for herself as Cruso's companion and, eventually, his lover. At last they are rescued by a passing ship, but only she and Friday survive the journey back to London. Determined to have her story told, she pursues the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe in the hope that he will relate truthfully her memories to the world. But with Cruso dead, Friday incapable of speech and Foe himself intent on reshaping her narrative, Barton struggles to maintain her grip on the past, only to fall victim to the seduction of storytelling itself.Treacherous, elegant and unexpectedly moving, Foe remains one of the most exquisitely composed of this pre-eminent author's works. "A small miracle of a book...of marvellous intricacy and overwhelming power". ("Washington Post"). "A superb novel". ("The New York Times"). South African author J. M. Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003 and was the first author to win the Booker Prize twice for his novels "Disgrace" and "The Life and Times of Michael K". His novel set during the South African apartheid, "Age of Iron", winner of the "Sunday Express" Book of the Year award is also available in Penguin paperback.

Warm Bodies and The New Hunger Simon & Schuster

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"Warm Bodies", Isaac Marion's bestselling tale of a zombie's return to humanity through an unlikely encounter with love, has captured hearts worldwide, appearing in twenty-seven languages and inspiring a major film along with a passionate fandom. This special five-year anniversary edition includes the powerful prequel novella, The New Hunger, which sheds light on the saga's past while setting the stage for its epic conclusion.§§In the "highly original" ( Seattle Times ) Warm Bodies , "R" is a man with an existential crisis: he is dead. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his fellow zombies, but he craves something more than brains and the memories he gains when he eats them. He wants a life of his own.§§After absorbing the poignant life of a troubled young man, R makes a choice that begins the unlikeliest of relationships-with his victim's ex-girlfriend. Julie is angry and scared but fiercely alive, a blast of color in R's grey existence, and as they struggle to protect each other from the grim society around them, they begin to set off dangerous sparks-the kind that could revive their lifeless world, or start a war that destroys it.§§But their story doesn't end-or begin-there. "The New Hunger" takes us back seven years to a crucial crossroads in three young lives. Julie and her parents drive across the wastelands of America in search of a new home. Her future friend Nora struggles to protect her brother, a boy with a secret that might one day change the world. And in the darkness of a forest, a dead man opens his eyes. Who is he? What is he? As R unravels these grim mysteries and Julie and Nora scour the world for hope, each step brings them closer to an encounter of beauty and tragedy that will change the course of their lives.§§Together, "Warm Bodies and The New Hunger" form a richly layered tale of love and hope in the darkest of times, while also opening the doors to an epic saga that continues with "The Burning World", an excerpt of which is included in this edition for current fans and newcomers alike.

Natural Causes Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Natural Causes is the first novel from James Oswald in the Detective Inspector McLean series. A young girl's mutilated body is discovered in a sealed room. Her remains are carefully arranged, in what seems to have been a cruel and macabre ritual, which appears to have taken place over 60 years ago. For newly appointed Edinburgh Detective Inspector Tony McLean this baffling cold case ought to be a low priority - but he is haunted by the young victim and her grisly death. Meanwhile, the city is horrified by a series of bloody killings. Deaths for which there appears to be neither rhyme nor reason, and which leave Edinburgh's police at a loss. McLean is convinced that these deaths are somehow connected to the terrible ceremonial killing of the girl, all those years ago. It is an irrational, almost supernatural theory. And one which will lead McLean closer to the heart of a terrifying and ancient evil...James Oswald's Detective Inspector McLean appears here for the first time. Natural Causes is the opening to an electrifying new series. Subsequent titles include The Book of Souls and The Hangman's Song. Fans of Ian Rankin, Peter James and Stuart McBride will love James Oswald's work.Praise for James Oswald: "A star of Scotland's burgeoning crime fiction scene". (Daily Record). "Crime fiction's next big thing". (The Sunday Telegraph). "Literary sensation...James' overnight success has drawn comparisons with the meteoric rise of EL James and her Fifty Shades of Grey series". (Daily Mail). "Fifty Shades of Hay". (The Times). "Oswald is among the leaders in the new batch of excellent Scottish crime writers". (Daily Mail). "The new Ian Rankin". (Daily Record). "The hallmarks of Val McDermid or Ian Rankin: it's dark, violent, noirish". (The Herald). "A good read". (The Times). "An excellent start to what promises to be a fine series". (Guardian).

The first two in the series, Natural Causes and The Book of Souls, are available from Penguin, with the third title, The Hangman's Song, forthcoming for 2014.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Rizzoli & Isles are back! From New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, this  shocking and fast-paced (Karin Slaughter) thriller has Jane and Maura investigating a brutal murder with dire implications, and this time, with Jane s intrepid mother, Angela, looking into a mystery of her own. An utter pleasure to keep readerly company with. The New York Times Mothers know best . . . But who will listen?Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are newly plagued by what seems like a completely senseless murder. Sofia Suarez, a widow and nurse who was universally liked by her neighbors, lies bludgeoned to death in her own home. But anything can happen behind closed doors, and Sofia seemed to have plenty of secrets in her last days, making covert phone calls to traceless burner phones. When Jane finally makes a connection between Sofia and the victim of a hit-and-run from months earlier, the case only grows more blurry. What exactly was Sofia involved in? One thing is clear: The killer will do anything it takes to keep their secret safe.   Meanwhile, Angela Rizzoli hasn t had a decent night s sleep in all the years since her daughter became a homicide detective. Maybe the apple didn t fall too far from the tree: Nothing in Angela s neighborhood gets by her not the gossip about a runaway teenager down the block and definitely not the strange neighbors who have just moved in across the street. Angela s sure there s no such thing as coincidence in her sleepy suburb. If only Jane would listen instead she writes off Angela s concerns as the result of an overactive imagination. But Angela s convinced there s a real wolf in her vicinity, and her cries might now fall on deaf ears. With so much happening on the Sofia case, Jane and Maura already struggle to see the forest for the trees, but will they lose sight of something sinister happening much closer to home?

Woke Racism Portfolio

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed linguist John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric.Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We re told to read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is appropriation. We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we ll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion and one that s illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of white privilege and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the woke mob. He shows how this religion that claims to dismantle racist structures is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called antiracism, but it features a racial essentialism that s barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it s not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.
