The debut novel by the iconic film director. Stylish and tech-obsessed, Naomi and Nathan thrive on the yellow journalism of the social-media age. They are lovers and competitors – nomadic freelancers in pursuit of sensation and depravity, encountering each other only in airport hotels and browser windows. Naomi finds herself drawn to the headlines surrounding Célestine and Aristide Arosteguy, Marxist philosophers and sexual libertines. Célestine has been found dead and mutilated in her Paris apartment. Naomi sets off on the trail of Aristide, who has fled the country. But the truth behind the murder is disturbing and deadly. Nathan, meanwhile, has contracted a rare STD called Roiphe’s. He travels to Toronto, determined to meet the man who discovered the syndrome. Dr. Barry Roiphe, now studies his own adult daughter, whose bizarre behaviour masks a devastating secret. These parallel narratives become entwined in a gripping, dreamlike plot that involves geopolitics, 3-D printing, North Korea, the Cannes Film Festival, cancer, and, in an incredible number of varieties, sex. ‘Consumed’ is an exuberant, provocative debut novel from one of the world’s leading film directors.

The Witch of Portobello
￥66.22
From one of the world's best loved storytellers, Paulo Coelho, comes a riveting novel tracing the mysterious life and disappearance of Athena dubbed ‘the Witch of Portobello’. This is the story of Athena, or Sherine, to give her the name she was baptised with. Her life is pieced together through a series of recorded interviews with those people who knew her well or hardly at all – parents, colleagues, teachers, friends, acquaintances, her ex-husband. The novel unravels Athena's mysterious beginnings, via an orphanage in Romania, to a childhood in Beirut. When war breaks out, her adoptive family move with her to London, where a dramatic turn of events occurs… Athena, who has been dubbed 'the Witch of Portobello' for her seeming powers of prophecy, disappears dramatically, leaving those who knew her to solve the mystery of her life and abrupt departure. Like The Alchemist, The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy and sacrifice.

On realising that her feelings are not reciprocated, she turns to an old addiction – alcohol. Having confessed her problems to an indifferent priest, she soon loses her faith and binges further. She wonders what place there is for her in a world that so values family ties and faith, both of which she is without.

Maturizarea lent? a sentimentelor, flirturile nelini?tite, pasiunea pentru rock compun cu o onestitate dureroas? romanul unui adolescent hipersensibil. O c?l?torie afectiv? de o fidelitate absolut?, o explorare proustian? a propriului trecut, o poveste deopotriv? intim? ?i universal?, care pune problema capacit??ii literaturii de a descrie via?a, doar via?a, în toate aspectele ei. „... extrem de sincer, Knausgård... vrea s? ne introduc? în cotidianul vie?ii, care este uneori vizionar, alteori banal, alteori profund semnificativ, dar, prin for?a lucrurilor, absolut obi?nuit, pentru c? ni se întâmpl? pe tot parcursul vie?ii ?i tuturor...” – The New Yorker „O reu?it? rar?.

Nu exist? niciun roman care s? fi fost la fel de prost citit ca Rusoaica lui Gib Mih?escu. Inclusiv de c?tre critica literar? a anilor ‘30 din secolul trecut. Despre critica de dup? r?zboi e greu de vorbit. Tip?rit ?n 1933, romanul n-a fost reeditat niciodat? ?n timpul comunismului. Nici m?car ?n edi?iile critice. Motivul este ?n primul r?nd titlul. Cu toat? ?desp?r?irea“ politic? a regimului de la Bucure?ti de Uniunea Sovietic? din aprilie 1964, liderii comuni?ti rom?ni au continuat s? menajeze p?n? la sf?r?it ?marea ?ar? prieten?“, era formula obi?nuit?, de la R?s?rit, interzic?nd orice referire direct?. Rusoaica e un roman captivant, care se cite?te cu pl?cere, dincolo de toate sofisticatele considera?ii ale criticilor. E un roman de aventuri ?i de iubire, despre un t?n?r care ??i ia dorin?ele drept vise ?i iluziile drept idealuri. Cu to?ii, la o anumit? v?rst?, p??im acest lucru. ?i p?n? s? ne fie ru?ine de p??ania proprie, ne desf?t?m cu nemaipomenitele p??anii sentimentale ale locotenentului Ragaiac.

Anglia, 1520. Henric al VIII-lea doreste sa anuleze casatoria cu Caterina de Aragon si sa o ia de sotie pe Anne Boleyn. Poporul si Europa catolica se opun. Un singur om indrazneste sa-si puna in joc viata pentru a castiga bunavointa regelui: Thomas Cromwell, un personaj original, deopotriva fermecator si ticalos, idealist si oportunist, fin cunoscator al caracterului uman si cu o energie fara seaman. Politician desavarsit, intarit de pierderea familiei, de neclintit in ambitia sa, Cromwell isi croieste cu abilitate drum intr-o lume in care ?omul este lup pentru om“. Opunandu-se parlamentului, politicii de stat si papalitatii, Cromwell este pregatit sa redefineasca Anglia conform vointei lui Henric si propriilor sale dorinte. Dar Henric este schimbator: binevoitor intr-o zi, gata sa ucida in alta.Cu un stil inimitabil, Hilary Mantel infatiseaza tabloul unei societati in prag de schimbare, in care indivizii lupta cu propriul destin sau il accepta cu pasiune si curaj. Romanul recreeaza o perioada in care succesul ofera puteri nelimitate, dar o singura greseala aduce moartea.

Mitul de erou legendar pe care imaginatia populara l-a creat despre Stefan cel Mare s-a perpetuat prin graiul viu al traditiilor noastre si a fost inviorat necontenit, de-a lungul vremurilor, de creatii folclorice care l-au ridicat pe voievodul moldovean la inaltimea unui simbol national. Cum a reusit Stefan cel Mare sa-si castige acest nimb de glorie? Faptele sale marete sunt dovezile cele mai graitoare. Domn abil si intelept iubit de popor, pretuit de prieteni si apreciat pana si de dusmanii sai, el a cautat sa-si asigure mai intai linistea interna si apoi sa obtina cu orice pret neatarnarea tarii. Pentru infaptuirea acestor deziderate, domnitorul a inteles ca poporul este puterea bratului sau si a cautat sa se apropie de popor si sa se sprijine pe el. Astfel, ducand o politica echilibrata intre cele doua clase ale societatii feudale – boierime si taranime –, el a reusit sa stapaneasca si chiar sa limiteze tendintele marilor boieri, ridicand in acelasi timp o parte dintre tarani la starea de razesi, rasplatindu-si vitejii din lupte cu sate si pamanturi.

A comically sinister tale of wicked spirits and suburban mediums from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of ‘Wolf Hall’ and ‘Bring Up the Bodies’. Alison Hart, a medium by trade, tours the dormitory towns of London’s orbital ring road with her flint-hearted sidekick, Colette, passing on messages from beloved dead ancestors. But behind her plump, smiling persona hides a desperate woman: she knows the terrors the next life holds but must conceal them from her wide-eyed clients. At the same time she is plagued by spirits from her own past, who infiltrate her body and home, becoming stronger and nastier the more she resists… Shortlisted for the Orange Prize, Hilary Mantel’s supremely suspenseful novel is a masterpiece of dark humour and even darker secrets.
Miss Garnet’s Angel
￥66.22
Salley Vicker’s sensational debut novel, ‘Miss Garnet’s Angel’ is a voyage of discovery; a novel about Venice but also the rich story of the explosive possibilities of change in all of us at any time. Julia Garnet is a teacher. Just retired, she is left a legacy which she uses by leaving her orderly life and going to live – in winter – in an apartment in Venice. Its beauty, its secret corners and treasures, and its people overwhelm a lifetime of reserve and caution. Above all, she’s touched by the all-prevalent spirit of the Angel, Raphael. The ancient tale of Tobias, who travels to Media unaware he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, unfolds alongside Julia Garnet’s contemporary journey. The two stories interweave with parents and landladies, restorers and priests, American tourists and ancient travellers abounding. The result is an enormously satisfying journey of the spirit – and Julia Garnet is a character to treasure.

Briefing for a Descent Into Hell
￥66.22
A study of a man beyond the verge of a nervous breakdown, this is a brilliant and disturbing novel by Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Penniless, rambling and incoherent, a man is found wandering at night on London’s Embankment. Taken to hospital and heavily sedated, he tells the doctors of his incredible fantastical voyage, adrift on the ocean, landing on unknown shores, flying on the back of a huge white bird. Identified as Charles Watkins, a Cambridge Classics professor, he is visited by family and friends, each revealing clues to the nature of his breakdown. As the doctors try to cure him, Watkins begins a fierce battle to hold on to his magnificent inner world, as it gradually acquires a greater reality than the everyday… ‘Briefing for a Descent into Hell’ is one of Doris Lessing’s most brilliantly achieved novels, linking her early work, which explored the nature of subjectivity, with her later experiments in science fiction. Its indictment of the tyranny of society is powerful, disturbing and, as always, magnificently rendered.
