In the Days of Rain: WINNER OF THE 2017 COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD
Rebecca Stott
¥73.58
WINNER OF THE 2017 COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD In the vein of Bad Blood and Why be Happy when you can be Normal?: an enthralling, at times shocking, and deeply personal family memoir of growing up in, and breaking away from, a fundamentalist Christian cult. As heard on Jeremey Vine ‘At university when I made new friends and confidantes, I couldn’t explain how I’d become a teenage mother, or shoplifted books for years, or why I was afraid of the dark and had a compulsion to rescue people, without explaining about the Brethren or the God they made for us, and the Rapture they told us was coming. But then I couldn’t really begin to talk about the Brethren without explaining about my father…’ As Rebecca Stott’s father lay dying he begged her to help him write the memoir he had been struggling with for years. He wanted to tell the story of their family, who, for generations had all been members of a fundamentalist Christian sect. Yet, each time he reached a certain point, he became tangled in a thicket of painful memories and could not go on. The sect were a closed community who believed the world is ruled by Satan: non-sect books were banned, women were made to wear headscarves and those who disobeyed the rules were punished. Rebecca was born into the sect, yet, as an intelligent, inquiring child she was always asking dangerous questions. She would discover that her father, an influential preacher, had been asking them too, and that the fault-line between faith and doubt had almost engulfed him. In In the Days of Rain Rebecca gathers the broken threads of her father’s story, and her own, and follows him into the thicket to tell of her family’s experiences within the sect, and the decades-long aftermath of their breaking away.

How Dare We! Write:A Multicultural Creative Writing Discourse
How Dare We! Write:A Multicultural Creative Writing Discourse
Sherry Quan Lee
¥56.82
How Dare We! Write: a multicultural creative writing discourse offers a much needed corrective to the usual dry and uninspired creative writing pedagogy. The collection asks us to consider questions, such as "What does it mean to work through resistance from supposed mentors, to face rejection from publishers and classmates, and to stand against traditions that silence you?" and "How can writers and teachers even begin to make diversity matter in meaningful ways on the page, in the classroom, and on our bookshelves?" How Dare We! Write is an inspiring collection of intellectually rigorous lyric essays and innovative writing exercises; it opens up a path for inquiry, reflection, understanding, and creativity that is ultimately healing. The testimonies provide a hard won context for their innovative paired writing experiments that are, by their very nature, generative. --Cherise A. Pollard, PhD, Professor of English, West Chester University of Pennsylvania So-called "creative writing" classes are highly politicized spaces, but no one says so; to acknowledge this obvious fact would be to up-end the aesthetics, cultural politics (ideology) and economics on which most educational institutions are founded How Dare We! Write, a brilliant interventive anthology of essays, breaks this silence. --Maria Damon, Pratt Institute of Art; co-editor of Poetry and Cultural Studies: A Reader How Dare We! Write a collection of brave voices calling out to writers of color everywhere: no matter how lonely, you are not alone; you are one in a sea of change, swimming against the currents. --Kao Kalia Yang, author of The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir, and The Song Poet, a 2017 Minnesota Book Award winner How Dare We! Write is a much needed collection of essays from writers of color that reminds us that our stories need to be told, from addressing academic gatekeepers, embracing our identities, the effects of the oppressor's tongue on our psyche and to the personal narratives that help us understand who we are. --Rodrigo Sanchez-Chavarria, writer, spoken word poet/performer and contributing author to A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota Learn more at http://blog.SherryQuanLee.com From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Entre quienes escribimos estas letras, hay estudiantes, prestadores de servicio social, graduados, voluntarios, músicos, misioneros, y empleados que tienen la fortuna de poder experimentar la vida de maneras muy distintas los unos de los otros.Algunos pertenecen al área de las ciencias exactas, otros a las ciencias sociales, y hasta de las ciencias de la salud. Además, somos de escuelas públicas, de escuelas privadas, y hasta de escuela en casa; y todavía más, vivimos en diferentes ciudades de México. En esta peque?a obra, podrás encontrar una increíble variedad de perspectivas y experiencias de vida que están siendo transformadas por una misma persona: Jesús, el crucificado. Además, este libro está compuesto por una colección interesante de tipos de textos... poemas, reflexiones, oraciones, canciones, y otros más. Con mucha emoción, cada uno de nosotros y nosotras quisiéramos invitarte, no sólo a encontrarte con el Maestro en las hojas de esta antología, sino a escribir tú mismo… a escribirle letras al crucificado.

JR MacGregor

Deja de lado lo que estás leyendo en la web sobre Elon Musk. Hay una cantidad de información más significativa que no se limita a hablar solo sobre su genio y sus logros. Este libro expone la vida que tuvo antes de llegar a los Estados Unidos y mira al ni?o que se encuentra en su interior, quien se abrió camino por sí solo, y literalmente pasó por los fuegos del infierno antes de obtener las oportunidades que deseaba.No cayó en la riqueza y no trabajó dentro de la escalera corporativa, sino que Elon conformó cada parte de su vida que puedes ver hoy. Algunas de las historias que encontrarás en este libro te sorprenderán, asombrarán y cambiarán la forma en que consideras tus propios desafíos. De llegar a un nuevo país con pocos dólares y no conocer a nadie, trabajar en granjas y limpiar los animales, hasta trabajar en el fuego de un horno tóxico. Lee sobre el hombre que está a punto de hacer que este planeta sea un lugar más seguro para vivir.Elon Musk es una inspiración para una generación porque representa muchos de los valores que definen a los Millennials de hoy y a los de la Generación X. Desde PayPal hasta Tesla, la fuerza impulsora que construyó estos íconos de la imaginación fue el deseo de hacer del mundo un lugar mejor para todos: y nunca se trató sobre el dinero. Este libro te da una mirada y un análisis más profundo de un hombre que desafía el molde tradicional de lo que es ser industrial, emprendedor y triunfador.

Graham Thorpe: Rising from the Ashes
Graham Thorpe: Rising from the Ashes
Graham Thorpe
¥72.99
Graham Thorpe’s achievements on the cricket field contrasted wildly with his personal problems, where drink and depression combined to send him spiralling off the rails. This is his brutally honest life story, including his dramatic retirement from Test cricket, and updated to include England’s 2005 Ashes win, and his new coaching career. Graham Thorpe was one of the best batsmen in world cricket for more than a decade. Yet the national press hounded him as 'English cricket's most disturbed player' for pulling out of a series of tours and turning his back on the game more than once. With painful candour and often unexpected humour, Thorpe dissects his career in cricket and the inner recesses of his private life: the impact of his bitter divorce; the suicidal depression that afflicted him in his darkest hours; the reasons why he needed to 'save himself' by withdrawing from past England tours; the elation of his magnificent century on his comeback Test at the Oval in 2003; and his fresh outlook in life with a new partner after confronting his own failings and past troubles. Twelve years on from his Test debut against Australia, Thorpe took the decision to retire from international cricket after the disappointment of his controversial non-selection for the Ashes 2005 tour. With updated material on his coaching spell in Australia – where he gained valuable insight into cricket’s No 1 nation.

George Bernard Shaw
¥29.33
George Bernard Shaw was born on July 26th, 1856 in Synge Street, Dublin. His career began modestly initially working for some years in an Estate office but a thirst for reading and knowledge moved his career to writing several novels, none of which were published for several years. He wrote as a critic for several years, mainly on the theatre where his campaigning helped moved Victorian theatre towards a more realistic form. Shaw also took up his fervent socialist views at this point, a cause he would be indelibly linked with throughout his long and productive life. An initial foray into writing a play in 1885 only came to fruition in 1892 and with it his path as one of the leading playwrights of the 20th century was set. Shaw was also a fervent Fabian and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Saint Joan in 1923 gained Shaw yet another international success. This led in 1925 to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his contributions to literature. The citation praised his work as "e;... marked by both idealism and humanity, its stimulating satire often being infused with a singular poetic beauty"e;. In 1938 he added an Academy Award for his work on Pygmalion. Shaw remains the only person ever to win a Nobel Prize and an Oscar. He refused all other awards, even a knighthood. George Bernard Shaw died on November 2nd, 1950 at the age of 94, of renal failure precipitated by injuries incurred by a fall whilst pruning a tree.
