This is a true story about a power struggle in a part of the country that has been forgotten about by some and never known about by others. In an area where opportunity is not abundant and young people rarely see a bright future, there will always be predators who are able to take advantage of the vulnerable and wreak havoc on their communities. When bad people intend to do harm, there are good people who will try to intervene for the benefit of the downtrodden. This all too often brings about a clash of wills.

Una rebelión contra el mundo, contra su familia y contra la sociedad. Salí corriendo de repente. Sólo me dio tiempo a oír a mi madre, que decía Pero ¿qué hace ese idiota? No quería estar con ellos, me negaba a compartir con ellos ese momento. Yo estaba ya lejos, había dejado de pertenecer a su mundo, la carta lo decía. Salí al campo y estuve andando gran parte de la noche: el ambiente fresco del norte, los caminos de tierra, el olor de la colza, muy intenso en esa época del año. Dediqué toda la noche a elaborar mi nueva vida, lejos de allí.

But will there be safety for Anna? Into a court of scandal and cutthroat politics she is thrown, and only by her wits will she survive.

Per il suo sessantesimo compleanno decide di farsi un regalo: seguire un desiderio nascosto, lasciare ciò che ha per andare altrove. Un pezzo alla volta, la donna apre a chi legge il suo cuore, come l'armadio in cui custodisce la sua collezione di porcellane. Sino al giorno in cui capisce che accettare di essere come sei, anche quando non corrisponde all'idea che gli altri hanno di te, alle aspettative che nutrono, è l'unico modo per iniziare a vivere davvero.

Bujar inventa continuamente se stesso e la propria storia, come un impostore che si appropria dei frammenti che carpisce agli altri, del passato delle persone che ha amato, dei loro nomi, perché può scegliere chi vuole essere, il paese da cui proviene, i dettagli della propria esistenza. Perché, come dice lui stesso, «nessuno è tenuto a rimanere la persona che è nata, possiamo ricomporci come un nuovo puzzle».

Eylau, c'est la rencontre paroxystique de l'Histoire et de la géographie. Une bataille napoléonienne qui a lieu le 8 février 1807 contre les Russes, en Prusse orientale, là où se trouvait autrefois la célèbre Königsberg fondée par les chevaliers teutoniques. Aujourd'hui Eylau est située dans l'enclave de Kaliningrad, territoire russe séparé de la Russie par la Pologne et la Lituanie. Jean-Paul Kauffmann qui s'était rendu une première fois à Kaliningrad en 1991 voulait y revenir mais, cette fois, en famille. Un voyage de cohésion familiale en quelque sorte.

Mare Internum, 75 v. Chr. Ein Handelsschiff steuert die Insel Rhodos an. An Bord: Julius Cäsar, begleitet von seinem Getreuen Titus Labienus. Von seinen Feinden ins Exil getrieben, ist er auf dem Weg zu Apollonius Molon, einem der bedeutendsten Rhetoriklehrer der damaligen Zeit, um seine Redekunst zu verfeinern und so gewappnet zu sein für seine nächsten Schritte auf seinem Weg an die Spitze der politischen Macht. Ein monumentaler Roman, der uns den wahren Preis der Macht vor Augen führt: Julius Cäsar muss erfahren, dass Rom alles dafür verlangt, sogar sein wertvollstes Gut.

In 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet—a teasing tribute to Woolf’s friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces.

Esa noche, otro sueño profundo se apoderó de él; y una vez más vio al ángel que había entregado personalmente los preceptos del pacto noájida. Ella dijo: —Noé, ¿por qué dudas, hijo mío? Él respondió: —He fracasado. Soy un fracaso. Realmente deberías buscar a alguien más calificado para esta tarea. Ni siquiera sé exactamente qué es, pero sé que no soy apto para ello. Soy el opuesto de Midas. Todo lo que toco se convierte en polvo y cenizas. —Eres muy duro contigo mismo, Noé. Lo que se te ha confiado no es fácil. No es para cualquiera. Fuiste elegido por una razón.

À vingt ans, j'ai arrêté d'écouter les gens et je suis partie. Seule, en stop et sans un sou en poche. J'ai traversé l'Europe jusqu'au Cap Nord, sans autre but que de ne pas pourrir chez moi. On peut dire que j'ai fui. C'était mon premier grand voyage.

Messa al bando dalla buona società dopo il divorzio da un mondano e inveterato seduttore, l'ex scrittrice Renée Néré diviene attrice di music-hall e frequenta il mondo squallido e variopinto degli artisti che vivono fra il circo e il caffè-concerto. Corteggiata da un ricco, giovane e ozioso ammiratore che le propone, magnanimo, le nozze, lo rifiuta in nome di una dignità femminile duramente conquistata e di una libertà tanto preziosa quanto precaria.

Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959-1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive comedy of blending, identity, and politics.

Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late 20th century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between England and France yet a world away from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the story of those he has known.

Bukowski's alter ego, Henry Chinaski, returns, revelling in his eternal penchant for booze, women, and horse-racing as he makes the precarious journey from poet to screenwriter. Based on Bukowski's experiences when working on the film Barfly, the absurdity and egotism of the film industry are laid bare in this deadpan, touching, and funny glimpse into the endless negotiations and back-stabbings of la-la land. Hollywood is an irreverent jaunt that serves up the beating heart of Hollywood with razor-sharp humour.

My Struggle: Book One introduces American listeners to the audacious, addictive, and profoundly surprising international literary sensation that is the provocative and brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

Andrea llega a Barcelona, con una maleta llena de libros, para estudiar letras. Sus ilusiones chocan de inmediato con el ambiente de tensión y violencia que reina en casa de su abuela.

Jean-Christophe Rufin a suivi à pied, sur plus de huit cents kilomètres, le "Chemin du Nord" jusqu'à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Beaucoup moins fréquenté que la voie habituelle des pèlerins, cet itinéraire longe les côtes basque et cantabrique puis traverse les montagnes sauvages des Asturies et de Galice. "Chaque fois que l'on m'a posé la question : "Pourquoi êtes-vous allé à Santiago ?", j'ai été bien en peine de répondre.

"SHantaram" - eto byla prelomlennaya v hudozhestvennoj forme ispoved' cheloveka, kotoryj sumel vybrat'sya iz bezdny i ucelet', razoshedshayasya po miru tirazhom chetyre milliona ekzemplyarov (iz nih polmilliona - v Rossii) i zasluzhivshaya vostorzhennye sravneniya s proizvedeniyami luchshih pisatelej novogo vremeni, ot Melvilla do Hemingueya. Mastityj Dzhonatan Kerroll pisal: "CHelovek, kotorogo "SHantaram" ne tronet do glubiny dushi, libo ne imeet serdca, libo mertv... "SHantaram" - "Tysyacha i odna noch'" nashego veka. Eto bescennyj podarok dlya vsekh, kto lyubit chitat'".

Une maison d'un étage, à la façade de lierre, dans un village des environs de Paris où le narrateur, que l'on appelait plus facilement "Patoche" à l'époque, a grandi avec son petit frère car leur mère était partie jouer une pièce en tournée. Une maison où ne vivaient que des femmes, une époque où tant de questions se bousculaient : qu'est-ce qu'une tête brûlée ? et une "série noire" ? Eliot Salter, marquis de Caussade, reviendrait-il dans son château comme l'avait promis le père des enfants lors d'un déjeuner ?
