Prolegomena la Tratat de rezisten?a materialelor, despre na?terea, via?a ?i moartea sf?ntului Taush, adic? aventurile sale din Gaister?tat p?n? ?n Mandragora; ce a f?cut, ce a zis, ce a v?zut ?i ce a sim?it ?ntre Lume ?i ne’Lume, istorisite de scheletul Bartholomeus Pumn-de-Oase ?i culese de Flavius Ardelean. ?Nebun?, genial?, ?ntunecat?, tulbur?toare ?i profund?, Sc?rba sf?ntului cu sfoar? ro?ie te face s? te prive?ti pentru o clip? ?i s? nu te mai recuno?ti ?ntru totul. Dar abia de acolo po?i ?ncepe s? descoperi ?i s? vezi. Cu adev?rat s? vezi.“ (Cristina Nemerovschi) ?Flavius Ardelean nu e scriitor de lucruri frumoase, dar e frumos ?n necur??enia ?i neor?nduiala lui. Iar cine iube?te scriitorii ?i iube?te tocmai fiindc? ace?tia nu fac eforturi s? le spun? lucruri frumoase c?nd totul ?n jur se pr?bu?e?te, ci ?tiu s? scoat? bucuria cuvintelor ?i din bube, mucegaiuri ?i noroi.“ (Michael Haulic?)

Atunci am aflat ce ?nseamn? s? crezi. Lumea ta se pr?bu?e?te zi dup? zi, ?n jurul t?u, dar sim?i ?n str?fundurile fiin?ei tale c? ?ntr-o zi va fi bine ?i nu renun?i. Logic, ra?ional, totul ??i spune c? e?ti nebun. ?i tu te ?nc?p???nezi ?i mergi mai departe. E o sc?nteie acolo, ?n suflet, o voce timid?, care ??i ?opte?te s? nu te la?i b?tut, c? totu-i cu un rost. Totul are sens. Pentru c? am vrut s? dau un sens la tot ceea ce se ?nt?mpl?. Am ales s? cred. Pentru c?, din momentul ?n care te-am v?zut, am ?tiut c? nu mai am ce s? a?tept, ?n afar? de tine. ?Maria Magdalena ??i vorbe?te despre pierdere, alegeri, ?mp?care cu sine, descoperiri ?i mai ales despre iubirea c??tigat?. Pentru c? iubirea, odat? ce exist?, nu se ?nstr?ineaz? niciodat?. Nici m?car atunci c?nd se ?ndep?rteaz?, se acoper? ?i pare pierdut? definitiv. Ea exist? mai departe, pentru c? iubirea ne schimb?. Toate iubirile care ne trec prin via?? r?m?n ?n noi ?i cresc mai departe acolo. Ioana Duda ?tie c? nu-i po?i iubi pe ceilal?i dac? nu te iube?ti pe tine. C? nu-i po?i ierta pe al?ii p?n? nu te ier?i pe tine ?i c? nu te po?i l?sa iertat de al?ii p?n? nu te-ai iertat tu, cu adev?rat, p?n? la ultima cut? a sufletului. ?tie c? iubirea nu ?nseamn? mereu s?-l ai pe cel?lalt al?turi. Iubirea e complet? ?i dac? e numai o stare, o plaj?, un c?ntec, un copil. Ioana ?tie.” (Cristina Nemerovschi) Cu aceea?i sinceritate dureroas? cu care ne-a obi?nuit din c?r?ile ei anterioare, Ioana Duda scrie ?n Maria Magdalena despre o iubire matur?, a?adar complicat?, ?i despre pierderea ei, ?n aparen??. Dar, c?nd vine vorba despre iubire, oare chiar o putem asocia cu maturitatea? Sau, cumva, fiecare descoperire a iubirii este un drum de-a lungul c?ruia ??i dai la o parte tot mai multe straturi ale fiin?ei ?i, ?n final, ajungi s? te ?n?elegi cu al?i ochi? P?n? la urm?, iubirea ??i arat? o lume cu totul nou?, pe care o descoperi asemeni unui copil. Personajul principal al romanului ?n?elege multe despre iubire, de-a lungul c?r?ii, dar mai ales se ?n?elege pe sine. Se redescoper? ?i se repozi?ioneaz? ?n centrul propriului univers. Cartea Ioanei Duda ne vorbe?te despre dragostea care este mai presus de fiin?ele pe care le leag?, dragostea ca mod de autocunoa?tere. (Alexandru Voicescu)

When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter Heaven or Hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet.

My human handlers tell me that I have no parents, no name, and no purpose other than to train for battle and one day become a vessel for the reincarnation of Chimera, the greatest dragon shifter of all. Sadly, Chimera’s rebirth will mean my own death. But my handlers say this sacrifice is a noble fate that will rebuild the dragon shifter world.I shall die on my seventeenth birthday. That’s five days from now.Then I hear music thumping across the desert. I take my mortal form, follow the sound, and find humans dancing in what they call a rave. There is a stage and a rock band. One thing quickly becomes clear: Unlike the audience, the musicians are dragon shifters, just like me. And one of them, the guitar player Rhodes, makes my knees turn watery. The lead singer, Kaps, has something strangely familiar about her.It all adds up to one conclusion: My handlers lied to me. I’m not the last of my kind. Memories reappear. I had parents once.

Fine Just the Way It Is: Wyoming Stories 3
￥57.09
The fantastic new collection of stories from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of ‘The Shipping News’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’. ‘Fine Just The Way It Is’ marks Annie Proulx's return to the Wyoming of ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and the familiar cast of hardy, unsentimental prairie folk. The stories are cast over centuries, and capture the voices and lives of the settlers this sagebrushed and weatherworn country has known, from the native Indian tribes to the modern day ranch owners and politicians, and their cowboy forebears. In ‘A Family Man’, an old man nearing the end of his life unburdens himself of the weighty family secrets that were his father’s unwelcome legacy. ‘Them Old Cowboy Songs’ follows Archie and Rosie, a young pioneer couple, and their hardships in their attempt to homestead in the exposed wintry expanses of the prairie, and ‘Testimony of the Donkey’ finds a young international couple, Marc and Caitlin, struggling with much more modern concerns, and confronting uncertainty as their relationship comes to its end. These are stories of desperation and hard times, often marked by an inescapable sadness, set in a landscape both brutal and magnificent. Enlivened by folk tales, flights of fancy, and details of ranch and rural work, they juxtapose Wyoming’s traditional character and attitudes – confrontation of tough problems, prejudice, persistence in the face of difficulty – with the more benign values of the new west. These are bold, elegant and memorable pieces, and once more confirm Annie Proulx as one of the most talented, unique short story writers in the language.
The Importance of Being Kennedy
￥57.09
A brilliant novel by Laurie Graham set in wartime London, which follows Kick Kennedy, sister of future US President JFK, as she takes London society by storm. Nora Brennan is a country girl from Westmeath. When she lands herself a position as nursery maid to a family in Brookline, Massachusetts, she little thinks it will place her at the heart of American history. But it's the Kennedy family. In 1917 Joseph Kennedy is on his way to his first million and he has plans to found a dynasty and ensure that his baby son, Joe Junior, will be the first Catholic President of the United States. As nursemaid to all nine Kennedy children, Nora witnesses every moment, public and private. She sees the boys coached at their father's knee to believe everything they'll ever want in life can be bought. She sees the girls trained by their mother to be good Catholic wives. World War II changes everything. At the outbreak of war the Kennedys are living the high life in London, where Joseph Kennedy is the American ambassador. His reaction is to send the entire household back across the Atlantic to safety, but Nora, surprised by midlife love, chooses to stay in England and do her bit. Separated from her Kennedys by an ocean she nevertheless remains the warm, approachable sun around which the older children orbit: Joe, Jack, Rosemary, and in particular Kick, who throws the first spanner in the Kennedy works by marrying an English Protestant. Laurie Graham's poignant new novel views the Kennedys from below stairs, with the humour and candour that only an ex-nursemaid dare employ.
