Suntem doar o verigă către „ceva mai bun și mai înalt“? Va ieși vreodată din noi, ca dintr-o uriașă crisalidă, „omul cu adevărat uman“? Sau poate că ar trebui să ne împăcăm cu gândul că nu vom arăta niciodată mai bine decât ne-a creat bunul Dumnezeu? Așteptând sau nu ceva mai înalt decât noi, s-ar cuveni deocamdată să ne punem această întrebare: cum ar fi bine să trăim ca „buni muritori“? Căci este o datorie de onoare, dacă tot am fost dotați cu rațiune, să încercăm să înțelegem ce trăim, după cum e o dezonoare a speciei să fi primit rațiune și să murim fără să fi încercat. Paginile acestei cărți s-ar fi putut tot atât de bine intitula Îndreptarul bunului muritor.

A New York Times Notable Book 2012 The rural town of Stockton, New York, is famous for nothing: no one was born there, no one died there, nothing of any historical import at all has ever happened there, which is why Solomon Kugel, like other urbanites fleeing their pasts and histories, decided to move his wife and young son there. To begin again. To start anew. But it isn’t quite working out that way for Kugel… His ailing mother stubbornly holds on to life, and won’t stop reminiscing about the Nazi concentration camps she never actually suffered through. To complicate matters further, some lunatic is burning down farmhouses just like the one Kugel bought, and when, one night, he discovers history—a living, breathing, thought-to-be-dead specimen of history—hiding upstairs in his attic, bad quickly becomes worse. Hope: A Tragedy is a hilarious and haunting examination of the burdens and abuse of history, propelled with unstoppable rhythm and filled with existential musings and mordant wit. It is a comic and compelling story of the hopeless longing to be free of those pasts that haunt our every present.

Ants came to this planet long before man. Since then they have developed one of the most intricate civilizations imaginable – a civilization of great richness and technological brilliance. During the few seconds it takes you to read this sentence, some 700 milli0on ants will be born on earth... Edmond Wells had studied ants for years: he knew of the power which existed in their hidden world. On his death, he leaves his apartment to his nephew Jonathan with one proviso: that he must not descend beyond the cellar door. But when the family’s dog escapes down the cellar steps, Jonathan has little alternative but to follow. Innocently he enters the world of the ant, whose struggle for existence forces him to reassess man’s place in the cycle of nature. It is an experience that will alter his life for ever... Empire of the Ants is an extraordinary achievement. It takes you inside the ants’ universe and reveals it to be a highly organised world, as complex and relentless as human society and even more brutal.

Queen Marie of Roumania was one of the most fascinating crowned heads of Europe and one of the most extraordinary and independent women of our century. The granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Tzar Alexander II of Russia, at seventeen Marie left the glittering courts of Western Europe to marry the Crown Prince of Roumania. Drawing upon the young queen s diaries and letters, the author describes her struggle to gain an independent footing in the male- dominated court of Roumania, her early years as one of the most admired beauties of Europe, and the decisive period during World War I when she all but ran the Roumanian Government. With the sweep and panache of a great epic, this compelling story is historical biography at its best. This enthralling book is like a huge spicy plum pudding stuffed with juicy fruits Maureen Cleave, Evening Standard

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Exciting and provocative . . . A tour de force of a book that begs to be seen as well as to be read.”—The Washington Post Book World World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a thrilling saga that starts with the origin of the Earth. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits—self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics—are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals. Sagan and Druyan conduct a breathtaking journey through space and time, zeroing in on critical turning points in evolutionary history, and tracing the origins of sex, altruism, violence, rape, and dominance. Their book culminates in a stunningly original examination of the connection between primate and human traits. Astonishing in its scope, brilliant in its insights, and an absolutely compelling read, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a triumph of popular science.

Traducere şi note de Anamaria Gebăilă Carte câștigătoare a Premiului European pentru Eseu 2020 „În eseul său, Alessandro Baricco încearcă să înțeleagă profunda transformare digitală prin care trecem astăzi, subliniind că aceasta nu este doar consecința unei revoluții tehnologice și a utilizării de noi instrumente, ci și rezultatul unei «insurecții mentale». Într-o încercare de a înțelege această mutație profundă, el identifică evenimentele fondatoare care au modelat atitudinile și stilurile de viață contemporane, specifice sistemului digital. Cu stilul său inconfundabil, îmbinând perspicacitatea filozofică și umorul, el explorează istoria noii civilizații intitulate THE GAME, care a pornit de la jocurile video.“ — Din motivația juriului Prix Européen de l’Essai, 2020 „Autorul joacă aici rolul de istoriograf, de antropolog, de cartograf chiar, pornit într-o aventură de reconstrucție și cercetare de dimensiuni de-a dreptul istovitoare, scoțând la iveală perspective de o strălucire rară.“ — Wired (Italia) „Oare mai-marii industriei Big Tech ne recalibrează creierul? Știu ei cu exactitate cum s-o facă sau care va fi rezultatul final? Și cine oare ne poate călăuzi prin acest teritoriu, cu amestecul potrivit de ironie și încredere, încântare și groază, emițând intuiții subtile și șocante pagină după pagină? Răspunsurile sunt, pe rând: fără doar și poate; mai mult ca sigur nu; Alessandro Barrico.“ — The New Yorker „M-am hotărât să scriu un fel de Barbarii 2 acum mai multă vreme. Mă fascina în continuare povestea asta și încercam să-mi dau seama dacă revoluția digitală o să ne distrugă sau mai știu eu ce. Mai mult decât atât, se întâmplaseră o groază de lucruri între timp, tabloul era de-acum mai clar. În 2006, când am scris Barbarii, părea că înaintez cu luminile stinse. Nici iPhone nu exista, nici YouPorn, nici măcar Twitter, la naiba. În concluzie, se cerea o aducere la zi.“ — ALESSANDRO BARICCO, La Repubblica

A searing novel of forbidden love on the Yorkshire moors—“a British version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (The Times U.K.)—from the author of the critically acclaimed debut Wake England, 1911. At Sharston Asylum, men and women are separated by thick walls and barred windows. But on Friday nights, they are allowed to mingle in the asylum’s magnificent ballroom. From its balconies and vaulted ceilings to its stained glass, the ballroom is a sanctuary. Onstage, the orchestra plays Strauss and Debussy while the patients twirl across the gleaming dance floor. Amid this heady ambience, John Mulligan and Ella Fay first meet. John is a sure-footed dancer with a clouded, secretive face; Ella is as skittish as a colt, with her knobby knees and flushed cheeks. Despite their grim circumstances, the unlikely pair strikes up a tenuous courtship. During the week, he writes letters smuggled to her in secret, unaware that Ella cannot read. She enlists a friend to read them aloud and gains resolve from the force of John’s words, each sentence a stirring incantation. And, of course, there’s always the promise of the ballroom. Then one of them receives an unexpected opportunity to leave Sharston for good. As Anna Hope’s powerful, bittersweet novel unfolds, John and Ella face an agonizing dilemma: whether to cling to familiar comforts or to confront a new world—living apart, yet forever changed. Praise for The Ballroom “The Ballroom successfully blends historical research with emotional intelligence to explore the tensions and trials of the human condition with grace and insight.”—New York Times Book Review “Part historical novel and part romance, The Ballroom paints an incredibly rich portrait of the mentally stable forced to live in an asylum. [Anna] Hope transports readers inside the asylum, to feel the thick humidity of the stale summer air of the day room, and the gritty and brutal reality inside those walls.”—Booklist “A compelling cast of emotionally resonant characters, as well as a bittersweet climax, render Hope’s second novel a powerful, memorable experience.”—Publishers Weekly “Hope’s writing is consistently beautiful. . . . Recommended for readers who enjoy historical fiction by Sarah Waters or Emma Donoghue.”—Library Journal “A beautifully wrought novel, a tender, heartbreaking and insightful exploration of the longings that survive in the most inhospitable environments.”—Sunday Express “The Ballroom has all the intensity and lyricism of [Anna] Hope’s debut, Wake. At its heart is a tender and absorbing love story.”—Daily Mail “Compelling and masterful . . . Anna Hope has proven once again that she is a luminary in historical fiction. . . . She delivers profound, poignant narratives that stir the emotions.”—Yorkshire Post “As with Hope’s highly acclaimed debut novel, Wake, the writing is elegant and insightful; she writes beautifully about human emotion, landscape and weather.”—The Observer “A brilliantly moving meditation on what it means to be ‘insane’ in a cruel world . . . All the characters are vividly and sensitively drawn. . . . Deeply moving.”—The Irish Times
