Opt povestiri si opt personaje feminine foarte diferite sunt surprinse in acest volum fie in zona lor de intimitate – dragoste casnicie familie – fie in viata lor sociala si profesionala. Oricare este povestea lor – o fata din flori ajunsa orfana o cantareata al carei destin este schimbat definitiv de o tentativa de viol la sfarsitul unei nunti o jurnalista influenta a carei incredere in sine este stirbita de revolta brusca a sotului – toate vorbesc intr-un fel sau altul despre societatea contemporana definita prin relatia femei–barbati si a raporturilor de putere sau de supunere (pre)stabilite intre ei. „Universul fictional al Cristinei Andrei surprinde prin diversitatea tipologiilor umane prin subtilitate narativa si prin capacitatea de a concentra pe spatii mici povesti de viata destine frante portrete in miscare ale unor oameni obisnuiti. Prozele ei vorbesc despre irosire si esecuri existentiale despre vulnerabilitate si bucurie dragoste si ura pustiitoare furie si tandrete despre suferinta si moarte impletite toate in viata de zi cu zi. Opt secvente de viata cotidiana traita tumultuos si atinse nu de putine ori de violenta: consumul de alcool frustrarile de tot felul insatisfactiile ce rod inca din copilarie incapacitatea de a-l intelege si de a-l cunoaste pe celalalt le transforma pe (anti)eroinele celor opt naratiuni in fiinte lipsite de stralucire atinse de degradare fizica si morala. O infernala comedie umana se desfasoara in aceste pagini de mare forta ce dezvaluie o prozatoare rafinata si pe deplin stapana a artei de a-si seduce cititorii.” Carmen Musat

În familia aceasta, fiecare ascunde un secret. „O descriere perfectă a importanței lucrurilor despre care nimeni nu vorbește...“ Booklist Una dintre cele mai bune cărți ale anului pentru People, PopSugar, Entertainment Weekly, Bustle & Cosmopolitan Din clipa în care a făcut cunoștință cu soacra ei, Lucy a știut că nu era deloc nevasta perfectă pe care Diana și-o dorise pentru fiul ei. Relația lor a fost mereu politicoasă, lipsită de căldură. Și tânăra nu s-a putut plânge niciodată, pentru că Diana era o femeie despre care nimeni nu avea nimic rău de spus, un adevărat stâlp al societății, o luptătoare pentru drepturile femeilor refugiate. Până când Diana se sinucide, lăsând în urmă un bilet în care mărturisește că nu a mai suportat să trăiască luptând cu cancerul. Numai că autopsia nu dă la iveală nicio urmă a bolii nemiloase, ci doar semne de otrăvire și urme de sufocare. Așa că toți cei din preajma sa devin suspecți de crimă. Cine i-ar fi putut dori moartea Dianei? De ce și-a schimbat aceasta testamentul, dezmoștenindu-și copiii? Și, mai presus de orice, de ce Lucy nu pare deloc tristă fiindcă i-a murit soacra? „Un roman delicios de captivant despre complicata relație a unei femei cu soacra sa, o relație căreia îi pune capăt moartea. Perfect pentru fanii lui Big Little Lies (Marile minciuni nevinovate).“ Good Morning America „Polițiștii sunt în bucătăria mea. Fără să întrebe unde să caute, bărbatul, Simon, a găsit cănile, pliculețele de ceai și laptele, iar acum face un ceai pentru mine. Lângă el, femeia, Stella, pune farfuriile din plastic în mașina de spălat vase și aruncă la gunoi resturile de chifle și de ketchup. Ollie e în hol, vorbește la telefon cu Nettie. Îl aud spunându-i că nu știe precis... că i-a zis tot ce a aflat... că i-a mai spus o dată că nu știe!... că ar trebui să vină aici să discute și ea cu polițiștii. Vorbește despre Diana, mi-aduc aminte. Diana a murit. Faptul că nu ne-am înțeles niciodată pare să devină, dintr-odată, irelevant în fața acestei realități sau măcar să pălească ușor; o tristețe profundă pune stăpânire pe mine. Moartea pare s-o fi ridicat pe Diana la un rang superior, aproape nobil, transformând neînțelegerile noastre trecute în ceva minor, ba chiar meschin. La urma urmei, nimeni nu se înțelege bine cu soacra, nu-i așa?“

Saint Augustine defined six periods of human life with the last being the Armageddon - when the armies of humans, lead by a Messiah who has again come down on Earth, will have to defeat the forces of evil. More than three thousand years after this prophecy was made, the Abbey is the only religious entity still standing. Radoslav, the Abbot who rules the Augustinian Order, knows that the Armageddon is about to break out soon but he can't decide what will trigger it. It might be the first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization; it is possible that the attempt of imperial administration to replace the clones from the Agricultural Worlds with aliens will degenerate into a cosmic conflict; and the super-soldier sent to spy on the Abbey is also a great worry. As this fascinating, complex plot develops, it becomes clear that the final fight is not between good and evil, but between those who believe in God and those who decline Him. The Abbey offers a unique perspective on how religion could develop and evolve in a far-away future. Is humanity's real purpose to protect God from reaching His own limits? The author offers daring hypotheses and original thinking in this multi-layered fantasy filled with spirituality and insight.

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

It is well known that Jorge Luis Borges was a translator, but this has been considered a curious minor aspect of his literary achievement. Few have been aware of the number of texts he translated, the importance he attached to this activity, or the extent to which the translated works inform his own stories and poems. Between the age of ten, when he translated Oscar Wilde, and the end of his life, when he prepared a Spanish version of the Prose Edda , Borges transformed the work of Poe, Kafka, Hesse, Kipling, Melville, Gide, Faulkner, Whitman, Woolf, Chesterton, and many others. In a multitude of essays, lectures, and interviews Borges analyzed the versions of others and developed an engaging view about translation. He held that a translation can improve an original, that contradictory renderings of the same work can be equally valid, and that an original can be unfaithful to a translation. Borges's bold habits as translator and his views on translation had a decisive impact on his creative process. Translation is also a recurrent motif in Borges's stories. In "The Immortal," for example, a character who has lived for many centuries regains knowledge of poems he had authored, and almost forgotten, by way of modern translations. Many of Borges's fictions include actual or imagined translations, and some of his most important characters are translators. In "Pierre Menard, author of the Quixote," Borges's character is a respected Symbolist poet, but also a translator, and the narrator insists that Menard's masterpiece-his "invisible work"-adds unsuspected layers of meaning to Cervantes's Don Quixote. George Steiner cites this short story as "the most acute, most concentrated commentary anyone has offered on the business of translation." In an age where many discussions of translation revolve around the dichotomy faithful/unfaithful, this book will surprise and delight even Borges's closest readers and critics.

Women's voices and experiences from around the world are brought to bear upon issues of globalization and democratization in this volume of strikingly original and diverse essays. From the Comfort Women of Japan to the Mexican maquiladoras, from the debt burdened nations of Africa to the 'new settler societies' of Oceania, the impact of globalizing forces and uneven democratization yields gender dislocations everywhere. This volume charts these trends with original research, first-hand interviews and surveys, and fresh theoretical perspectives. Gender regime change may be built on the understandings begun here.
