From the inimitable Rabih Alameddine - National Book Award finalist and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award - comes a tragicomic saga set in Lebanon, a modern story of family, memory, and the unbreakable (and insane) attachment of a son and his mother.In a tiny Beirut apartment, sixty-three-year-old Raja and his mother live side by side. A beloved high school philosophy teacher and 'the neighborhood homosexual,' Raja relishes books, meditative walks, order, and solitude. Zalfa, his octogenarian mother, views her son's privacy as a personal affront. She craves nothing more than to know the ins and outs of Raja's work life and love life, boundaries be damned.When Raja receives an invite to an all-expenses-paid writing residency in America, the timing couldn't be better. It arrives on the heels of a series of personal and national disasters that have left Raja itching for peace and quiet away from his mother and the heartache of Lebanon. But what at first seems a stroke of good fortune soon leads Raja to recount and relive the very disasters and past betrayals he wishes to leave behind.Wickedly funny, heartbreaking, and told in Raja's irresistible voice, The True, True Story of Raja the Gullible dances across six decades to tell the unforgettable story of a singular life and its absurdities - a tale of mistakes, self-discovery, trauma, and maybe even forgiveness. Above all, it's a wild and sparkling celebration of love.

Amb aquest obra Oller obre la literatura catalana del segle XIX envers la novel·la.Narcís Oller ( 1846-1930 ) va donar unes quantes obres mestres a la literatura catalana, després de segles que no passava.

THE FIRST VOLUME IN J.R.R. TOLKIEN''S EPIC ADVENTURE'' THE LORD OF THE RINGS''. The cover of this new edition of ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' is based on Tolkien''s own sketch of 1954. It shows the One Ring, within which floats the Eye of Sauron, with Narya, the ruby Ring of Fire worn by Gandalf, in opposition above it between stylised flames. Inscribed in red tengwar around Sauron''s Ring is the inscription from the Black Speech, "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." At the bottom of the illustration are the other two of the three Elven rings, Nenya and Vilya, the Rings of Water and Air. "The English speaking world is divided into those who have read ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'' and those who are going to read them." SUNDAY TIMES "An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent, in a region where everything is invented, forest, moor, river, wilderness, town, and the races which inhabit them." THE OBSERVER "To have created so enthralling an epic-romance, with its own mythology, with such diversity of scene and character, such imaginative invention and description, and such supernatural meaning underlying the wealth of incident, is a most remarkable feat." THE GUARDIAN "Masterpiece? Oh yes, I''ve no doubt about that." EVENING STANDARD

« François pensa : si elle commande un déca, je me lève et je m’en vais. C’est la boisson la moins conviviale qui soit. Un thé, ce n’est guère mieux. On sent qu’on va passer des dimanches après-midi

El preludi és una obra magna que William Wordsworth, el poeta més longeu i més important del Romanticisme anglès, va anar escrivint i reescrivint durant gairebé cinquanta anys com a tribut al seu germa espiritual, el poeta Samuel Taylor Coleridge, que va dir d'ell que «per la força de la seva imaginació, Wordsworth es troba més a prop de Shakespeare i de Milton que cap altre escriptor modern». Aquest llarg poema unitari és una autèntica aventura de la memòria i del pensament en què el vers s'activa a partir del record de les accions més íntimes i humils, i com aquestes es connecten amb la potència sagrada de la divinitat. El preludi és també un cant d'amor a la natura, que es descriu com una entitat totpoderosa que acompanya el geni creador quan aquest sap aprofitar els poders que el món li atorga. Es tracta també d'una oda d'exaltació de la passió, de la llibertat i de la gran meravella d'existir. El preludi va ser el pinyol primordial que acabaria inspirant un joveníssim Marcel Proust a l'hora d'escriure A la recerca del temps perdut i ara arriba, per primer cop, traduït de forma completa en llengua catalana.

Chi raccoglie la testimonianza di Pereira, redatta con la logica stringente dei capitoli del romanzo, impeccabilmente aperti e chiusi dalla formula da verbale che ne costituisce il titolo: Sostiene Pereira?

Introduzione di Andrea Bajani.

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling THE OUTSIDER featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection. Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 'The best fantasy debut of 2018' - WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju - the test to find the most talented students in the Empire - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin's guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising.But surprises aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power - an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism.Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive - and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second.And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away...
