The post-apocalyptic modern classic with an introduction by novelist John Banville.In a burned-out America, a father and his young son walk under a darkened sky, heading slowly for the coast. They have no idea what, if anything, awaits them there. The landscape is destroyed, nothing moves save the ash on the wind and cruel, lawless men stalk the roadside, lying in wait. Attempting to survive in this brave new world, the young boy and his protector have nothing but a pistol to defend themselves. They must keep walking.Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Road is an incandescent novel, the story of a remarkable and profoundly moving journey. In this unflinching study of the best and worst of humankind, Cormac McCarthy boldly divines a future without hope, but one in which, miraculously, this young family finds tenderness.An exemplar of post-apocalyptic writing, The Road is a true modern classic, a masterful, moving and increasingly prescient novel.This edition is part of the Picador Collection, a series of the best in contemporary literature, inaugurated in Picador's 50th Anniversary year.

Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.

In Klara and The Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

Una vida lliure, mortalment sorprenent, tiba de cap a cap d'aquesta novel·la com la corda del funambulista a cent metres d'altura. Eva Baltasar la camina amb el desafiament i l'elegancia dels escriptors de raça.

In questo romanzo Niccolo Ammaniti va al cuore della sua narrativa, con una storia tesa e dal ritmo serrato, un congegno a orologeria che si carica fino a una conclusione sorprendente: e mette in scena la paura stessa. Michele Amitrano, nove anni, si trova di colpo a fare i conti con un segreto cosi grande e terribile da non poterlo nemmeno raccontare.E per affrontarlo dovra trovare la forza proprio nelle sue fantasie di bambino, mentre il lettore assiste a una doppia storia: quella vista con gli occhi di Michele e quella, tragica, che coinvolge i grandi di Acqua Traverse, misera frazione dispersa tra i campi di grano. Il risultato e un racconto potente e di assoluta felicita narrativa, dove si respirano atmosfere che vanno da Clive Barker alle Avventure di Tom Sawyer, alle Fiabe italiane di Calvino.La storia e ambientata nell''estate torrida del 1978 nella campagna di un Sud dell''Italia non identificato, ma evocato con rara forza descrittiva. In questo paesaggio dominato dal contrasto tra la luce abbagliante del sole e il buio della notte, Ammaniti alterna, a colpi di scena sapienti, la commedia, il mondo dei rapporti infantili, la lingua e la buffa saggezza dei bambini, la loro tenacia, la forza dell''amicizia e il dramma del tradimento.

WINNER OF WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS DEBUT NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2025 THE NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK A full-fat, Michelin-starred treat THE SUNDAY TIMES ''I have been glued to Asako Yuzuki''s new novel Butter NIGEL SLATER The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story, and translated by Polly Barton. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nations imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii cant resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer", Asako Yuzukis Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

In Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, 14-year-old Lily Owen, neglected by her father and isolated on their Georgia peach farm, spends hours imagining a blissful infancy when she was loved and nurtured by her mother, Deborah, whom she barely remembers. These consoling fantasies are her heart's answer to the family story that as a child, in unclear circumstances, Lily accidentally shot and killed her mother. All Lily has left of Deborah is a strange image of a Black Madonna, with the words "Tiburon, South Carolina" scrawled on the back. The search for a mother, and the need to mother oneself, are crucial elements in this well-written coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s against a background of racial violence and unrest. When Lily's beloved nanny, Rosaleen, manages to insult a group of angry white men on her way to register to vote and has to skip town, Lily takes the opportunity to go with her, fleeing to the only place she can think of--Tiburon, South Carolina--determined to find out more about her dead mother. Although the plot threads are too neatly trimmed, The Secret Life of Bees is a carefully crafted novel with an inspired depiction of character. The legend of the Black Madonna and the brave, kind, peculiar women who perpetuate Lily's story dominate the second half of the book, placing Kidd's debut novel squarely in the honored tradition of the Southern Gothic. --Regina Marler
