En kritikerrost bestselger i England Pepys Road er en nokså vanlig gate sør i London. Her bor alle slags mennesker, alle aldre, alle hudfarger og alle slags jobber, og de har alle mulige problemer og utfordringer. Pepys Road er London i miniatyr. Historien starter en tidlig morgen. Gata er tom, og en ung mann går mellom husene og filmer med et videokamera. I løpet av dagen skal beboerne finne et kort i postkassen. Et kort som virker både uforståelig og truende. John Henry Lanchester (født 1962) er en engelsk forfatter og journalist.

A quarant'anni, Roger Yount può dirsi un privilegiato, lavora ai piani alti della City, vive nel lusso, e ha fatto quel che si dice un bel matrimonio. Il superbonus su cui conta (roba da un milione di sterline) può anche sembrare un'esagerazione, ma tra seconde case, bambinaie, costosi fine settimana comincia a essere quasi una necessità. Smitty è l'ultimo bad boy dell'arte contemporanea, un simpatico mascalzone e artista concettuale che ama le provocazioni, cercando di mantenersi in equilibrio tra successo e anonimato. Una celebrità senza volto, ciò che è forse la sua opera d'arte più riuscita. Ha una nonna, Petunia Howe, che lo adora, un'arzilla vecchietta di ottant'anni che difende intrepida la sua proprietà e la sua indipendenza. Freddy Kamo è il nuovo prodigio del calcio mondiale, un giovane e già viziatissimo africano catapultato dalla sua capanna nel Senegal in uno dei più lussuosi appartamenti di Pepys Road. Ma ci sono anche i Kamal, i pachistani del negozio all'angolo, teatro di una guerra in famiglia fra integrazione e tradizione. E Quentina, l'ausiliaria del traffico che semina il panico nelle vie dei ricchi dopo aver messo a punto un lucroso sistema per arrotondare lo stipendio. E Zbigniew, l'immigrato polacco che sta restaurando casa Yount, dove lo chiamano Bogdan perché il suo nome è troppo difficile da pronunciare. Che cosa hanno in comune tutti costoro? Pepys Road, la strada in cui abitano o lavorano, l'esclusiva via di Londra che da popolare è diventata trendy, ambita dalle nuove classi dirigenti e dai nuovi ricchi, luogo simbolo del rapido successo regalato dall'economia volatile e pirotecnica del nuovo millennio. Ma siamo nel 2008, la crisi è appena cominciata. Si avvertono sinistri scricchiolii. E soprattutto, a ognuno di loro è stata recapitata una cartolina anonima con la foto della porta di casa e una scritta minacciosa: "Vogliamo Quello Che Avete Voi"... Con la sua verve straordinaria, raffinata e graffiante, John Lanchester ci consegna un ritratto impietoso della società contemporanea colta in un momento cruciale di svolta, quando l'insicurezza riaffiora e la domanda per tutti è: come sarà la nostra vita, dopo? Da moderno Balzac, lo fa con uno strepitoso romanzo in cui "i personaggi sono empaticamente disegnati, le loro vicende sono raccontate con immensa bravura, e in tutto scorre una vena di arguzia e di ironia che fa di Pepys Road un'autentica delizia" ("The Times").

Brings to life the world of Samuel Pepys with five walks through London. Samuel Pepys, the seventeenth century's best-known diarist, walked around London for miles, chronicling these walks in his diary. He made the two-and-a-half-mile trek to Whitehall from his house near the Tower of London on an almost daily basis. These streets, where many of his professional conversations took place while walking, became for him an alternative to his office. With Walking Pepys’s London, we come to know life in London from the pavement up and see its streets from the perspective of this renowned diarist. The city was a key character in Pepys’s life, and this book draws parallels between his experience of seventeenth-century London and the lives of Londoners today. Bringing together geography, biography, and history, Jacky Colliss Harvey reconstructs the sensory and emotional experience of Pepys’s time. Full of fascinating details, Walking Pepys’s London is a sensitive exploration into the places that made the greatest English diarist of all time.

This textbook of essays by leading critical urbanists is a compelling introduction to an important field of study; it interrogates contemporary conflicts and contradictions inherent in the social experience of living in cities that are undergoing neoliberal restructuring, and grapples with profound questions and challenging policy considerations about diversity, equity, and justice. A stimulant to debate in any undergraduate urban studies classroom, this book will inspire a new generation of urban social scholars. - Alison Bain, York University "Stages a lively encounter with different understandings of urban production and experience, and does so by bringing together an exciting group of scholars working across a diversity of theoretical and geographical contexts. The book focuses on some of the central conceptual and political challenges of contemporary cities, including inequality and poverty, justice and democracy, and everyday life and urban imaginaries, providing a critical platform through which to ask how we might work towards alternative forms of urban living." - Colin McFarlane Durham University What is the city? What is the nature of living in the city? This new textbook provides students with an in-depth understanding of the central issues associated with the city and how living in a city impacts its inhabitants. Theoretically informed and thematically rich, the book is edited by leading scholars in the field and contains an eminent, international cast of contributors and contributions. It provides a critical analysis of the key thinkers, themes and paradigms dealing with the relationship between the built environment and urban life. It includes illustrative case studies, questions for discussion, further reading and web links. Examining the contradictions, conflicts and complexities of city living, the book is an essential resource for students looking to get to grip with the different theoretical and substantive approaches that make up the diverse and rich study of the city and urban life.

‘I tore through the pages. A book I’ll read over and over again’ CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS, author of Queenie ____________________________________________ We've all had our share of dodgy landlords, mould and awkward house shares. But journalist Kieran Yates has had more than most: by the age of twenty-five she'd lived in twenty different houses across the country, from council estates in London to car showrooms in rural Wales. In prose that sparkles with humour and warmth, Yates charts the heartbreaks and joys of a life spent navigating the chaos of the housing system. Drawing on interviews with marginalised tenants across the country and the stories behind our interiors, she explores the unexpected ways we can fight back – finding beauty in the wreckage of a broken system, friendships in cramped housing conditions, and home even in the most fragile circumstances. All the Houses I’ve Ever Lived In is at once a rallying cry for change, a gorgeous coming-of-age story and a love letter to home in all its forms. ____________________________________________ ‘Illuminating, thoughtfully written, damning’ OBSERVER ‘I read this in two sittings . . . so incisive it's hard to put down’ PANDORA SYKES ‘A beautiful exposition of home and what it means. Stunning’ BOLU BABALOLA, author of Honey & Spice ‘So relatable . . . injects a glorious dose of love and joy and hope' BIG ISSUE ‘Yates manages the unthinkable: she makes the housing crisis funny’ i
