In un crescendo di rivelazioni scopre che le scelte spesso bizzarre e crudeli, ma sempre assolutamente coerenti dell''anziana donna, affondano in un destino segnato dagli avvenimenti piu drammatici del Novecento.

Premio Illa Nova de Narrativa 2021A desaparición dunha rapaza en Pontevella sacode a cidade mentres a prensa local comeza a furgar na súa vida familiar e nas relacións persoais. Moitos prexuízos sociais pesan sobre Eva Cortes: ser muller, pertencer a unha familia humilde e frecuentar aplicacions de contactos.

O diario de Eva Cortes, as novas do suceso no xornal e a vision de Antia son as tres voces que narran esta novela trepidante.Oito dias sen Eva Cortes atrapanos dende o primeiro capitulo e manten un pulso coa actualidade no tratamento de moitos temas candentes. Con gran solvencia narrativa transitamos pola vida de duas mulleres que teñen moito en comun, especialmente nos seus desexos e medos.

It is Hustvedt's gift to write with exemplary clarity of what is by necessity unclear.' Hilary Mantel, GuardianFeminist philosophy meets family memoir in a fresh essay collection by the award-winning essayist and novelist Siri Hustvedt, author of the bestselling What I Loved and Booker Prize-longlisted The Blazing World.Siri Hustvedt's relentlessly curious mind and expansive intellect are on full display in this stunning new collection of essays, whose subjects range from the nature of memory and time to what we inherit from our parents, the power of art during tragedy, misogyny, motherhood, neuroscience, and the books we turn to during a pandemic. Drawing on family history as well as her own life and experiences, she examines the porousness of borders of all kinds in a masterful intellectual journey that is at once personal and universal. Ultimately, Mothers, Fathers, and Others reminds us that the boundaries we take for granted-between ourselves and others, between art and viewer-are far less stable than we imagine.

One of the earliest and best collections of stories about hapless aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his supremely efficient valet Jeeves, this volume centers on the romantic travails of Bertie's school chum, Bingo Little. A splendid introduction to P. G. Wodehouse's most popular characters, these comic gems recount Bertie's reluctant involvement in Bingo's misadventures and Jeeves' uncanny ability to rescue his employer from every scrape.In the opening entry, "Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum," Bingo seeks help in persuading his wealthy guardian to accept his socially undesirable fiancee. Mabel the waitress is only the first in a succession of Bingo's romantic interests, which include a parson's niece, a Communist, and Bertie's own fianceeamong others. Eighteen connected stories trace Bingo and Bertie's shenanigans at home and abroad and introduce assorted Wooster relatives, from the terrifying Aunt Agatha to Claude and Eustace, the fun-loving, trouble-making twins. The collection is particularly distinguished by the inclusion of a Wodehouse masterpiece, "The Great Sermon Handicap," in which bets are placed on the length of a Sunday oration and hilarity ensues.

Set 300 years before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire, FIRE AND BLOOD is the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros as told by Archmaester Gyldayn, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through to the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever.The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones.With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R.R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros.Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen - the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria - took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel, and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley.With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Neuware - - Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Buchpreis 2019 - HERKUNFT ist ein Buch uber den ersten Zufall unserer Biografie: irgendwo geboren werden. Und was danach kommt. HERKUNFT ist ein Buch uber meine Heimaten, in der Erinnerung und der Erfindung. Ein Buch uber Sprache, Schwarzarbeit, die Stafette der Jugend und viele Sommer. Den Sommer, als mein Grovater meiner Gromutter beim Tanzen derart auf den Fu trat, dass ich beinahe nie geboren worden ware. Den Sommer, als ich fast ertrank. Den Sommer, in dem die Bundesregierung die Grenzen nicht schloss und der dem Sommer ahnlich war, als ich uber viele Grenzen nach Deutschland floh. HERKUNFT ist ein Abschied von meiner dementen Gromutter. Wahrend ich Erinnerungen sammle, verliert sie ihre. HERKUNFT ist traurig, weil Herkunft fur mich zu tun hat mit dem, das nicht mehr zu haben ist. In HERKUNFT sprechen die Toten und die Schlangen, und meine Grotante Zagorka macht sich in die Sowjetunion auf, um Kosmonautin zu werden. Diese sind auch HERKUNFT: ein Floer, ein Bremser, eine Marxismus-Professorin, die Marx vergessen hat. Ein bosnischer Polizist, der gern bestochen werden mochte. Ein Wehrmachtssoldat, der Milch mag. Eine Grundschule fur drei Schuler. Ein Nationalismus. Ein Yugo. Ein Tito. Ein Eichendorff.

"Wenn es ein Tier gab, das ihn in seinen Bann zog, war das der Wolf."Der Geheimbund Danehof ist zerschlagen, doch der traumatisierte Ex-Elitesoldat Niels Oxen kampft weiter mit seinen Sieben Damonen. Fur den Geheimdienstchef Axel Mossman soll er nun den vermissten Poul Hansen aufspuren. Die Suche fuhrt ihn dorthin, wo er sich am besten auskennt: in den Wald. Anstatt nach Hansen Ausschau zu halten, interessiert er sich mehr fur Wolfe - und trifft auf ratselhafte Spuren. Hansens Verschwinden scheint mit einer Entfuhrung aus dem Jahr 1963 zusammenzuhangen. Und mit dem unaufgeklarten Fall, bei dem Oxens Partnerin Margrethe Franck ihr rechtes Bein verlor. Gemeinsam stellen Oxen und Franck Nachforschungen an. Aber das ruft dunkle Machte auf den Plan.

Isabel parte dalle origini, dai dati biografici di uninfanzia e di unadolescenza passate nella cornice di una rigida struttura patriarcale. Listinto di ribellione in lei e una sorta di reazione naturale a questa esistenziale forma di discriminazione che genera lattitudine filosofica che lha portata negli anni a schierarsi sempre con i deboli, con gli emarginati e con tutte le donne, vittime di una mancata emancipazione. Isabel ci racconta le tappe del suo cammino, la consapevolezza dellimportanza dellindipendenza economica, le relazioni tra sessi, la sua biografia sentimentale e professionale. E poi la terza eta, cio che ha significato per lei, donna pienamente liberata e convinta che i modelli imposti portino a una forma di pregiudizio contro la vecchiaia non dissimile dagli atteggiamenti sessisti e razzisti.
