Despair and hope, longing for death and rays of hope - Pelle Anders deals with strokes of fate, the separation from his wife, silence and the lack of attention from those around him in 70 emotional poems. In the verses, he deals with the meaning of life and the question of whether, for example, death, cigarettes or similar can be a solution. Writing helps Anders to get through the depressive phases, which he prefers to call "sensory integration disorder": "... Sleepless in bed: / What remains for me in such a night? / The crap is put down on paper / So that the brain switches off, / and sleep manages the nonsense!" In his "very own psychotherapeutic session", the author takes his readers on a rollercoaster of emotions.

New Orleans, 1853. A young Zapotec exile from Mexico named Benito Juárez disembarks at a fetid port city at the edge of a swamp. Years later, he will become the first indigenous head of state in the postcolonial Americas, but now he is as anonymous and invisible as any other migrant to the roiling and alluring city.Accompanied by a small group of fellow exiles who plot their return and hoped-for victory over the Mexican dictatorship, Juarez immerses himself in the city, which absorbs him like a sponge. He and his compatriots work odd jobs, fall victim to the cons and confusions of a strange young nation, succumb to the hallucinations of yellow fever, and fall in love with the music and food all around them. But unavoidable, too, is the stark trade in human beings.With the extraordinary linguistic play and love of popular forms that have characterized all of Herreras fiction, Season of the Swamp is a magnificent work of speculative history, a love letter to the city of New Orleans and its polyglot culture, and a cautionary statement that informs our understanding of the world we live in.

The story of a house called Clodagh, and the family who made it their home. On the outskirts of Dublin stands an old stone house that has witnessed Irelands transformation over 150 years. Within its walls, the Weldon women have loved, lost, and survived against the backdrop of a nation fighting for its identity. At the heart of this tale is Faith Weldon, a stubborn, sharp-witted woman who lives long enough to see her world turn upside down and right itself again. From the bloody risings for independence to the quiet battles fought in kitchens and bedrooms, Faiths journey mirrors Irelands own struggle to define itself. This isnt just another family saga. Its about the spaces between whats said and whats kept silent, about the choices that echo through generations, and about how a house becomes more than just stone and timber. As men march off to revolutions and wars, the Weldon women keep Clodagh standing sometimes barely, sometimes defiantly. Their triumphs arent always grand, but theyre hard-won and honest. Unflinching, intimate, and shot through with dark Irish humour, The Weldons pulls you into a world where history isnt just something that happens in textbooks but at kitchen tables and on doorsteps.
