Os coidados, a fidelidade, a homosexualidade, a covardía, a vinganza, a suplantación de identidade, o amor polos libros, o contrabando ou a orfandade son algúns dos temas que compoñen este libro estremecedor onde o pano de fondo sempre e a guerra.Como xa fixera en As Rulas de Bakunin, Laura no deserto e O parai-so dos inocentes, Anton Riveiro Coello pon de novo os seus personaxes en situacions limite para que nos ofrezan o mellor e o peor de si. Relatos duros que nos enfrontan co espello para sabermos o lugar que poderiamos ocupar en conflitos tan diversos como os que acollen estes relatos. E tanto ten que a guerra se desenvolva en Ucraina, Siria, Rusia, Vietnam ou na raia seca ourensa. O importante nestas historias e o resultado conmovedor dunha escrita poderosa que, unha vez mais, ispe os personaxes para os deixar nunha intemperie que tamen poderia ser a nosa.

I despres va vindre l& x02019;altra perdua. Potser fins i tot mes terrible...Ara, al cap de cinc anys, Devid no troba el seu lloc en el mon. Desorientat, pareix que del seu interior nomes puga eixir una veu buida, violenta, plena de preguntes sense resposta.Pero aixo esta a punt de canviar quan, inesperadament, apareix una ombra del seu passat, que podria tindre la clau per a entendre tot el que li ha passat fins aleshores.

J'oublierais les coups de fil incessants de ma mere qui se desespere de me savoir celibataire a trente ans.Resterait la perspective de revenir en Algerie avec l'image detestable des gens qui quittent leur pays sans remords pour vivre la-bas.Nee en 1986 a Alger, Kaouther Adimi vit et travaille a Paris.

This century s most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism Angela Davis Fanon is our contemporary In clear language in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage Fanon showed us the internal theatre of racism Deborah LevyFrantz Fanon s urgent dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the black experience in a white world Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism s subjects internalize its prejudices eventually emulating the white masks of their oppressors it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti colonialist thinker So hard to put down a brilliant vivid and hurt mind walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair The New York Times Book Review

Un giorno pero riceve una telefonata dal suo avvocato che potrebbe cambiarle la vita: la nonna Catriona, la stessa che ha diseredato sua madre per aver sposato un uomo qualunque e senza titolo nobiliare, ha lasciato a lei un'enorme ricchezza.

Ma Jemma non immagina cosa l'aspetta, una volta arrivata nella lussuosa residenza dei Burlingham: galateo, formalita, inviti, ricevimenti e un'odiosa suocera aristocratica. E a quel punto sara guerra aperta...

'Truly a marvellous collection ... There is balm for the soul, fire for the belly, a cooling compress for the fevered brow, solace for the wounded, an arm around the lonely shoulder - the whole collection is a matchless compound of hug, tonic and kiss' Stephen Fry Sometimes only a poem will do. These poetic prescriptions and wise words of advice offer comfort, delight and inspiration for all; a space for reflection, and that precious realization - I'm not the only one who feels like this. In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy around the length and breadth of Britain, into the pages of the Guardian, onto BBC Radio 4 and onto the television, honing his prescriptions all the time. This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary: those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego, there is something here to ease your pain.
