Abstract: Quand Madeleine, beauté discrète et mélancolique des années cinquante, quitte sa Bretagne natale pour suivre son mari au Cameroun, elle se trouve plongée dans un monde étranger, violent et magnifique. À Douala, lors d’un bal à la Délégation, elle s’éprend d’Yves Prigent, mi-administrateur, mi-aventurier. Mais la décolonisation est en marche et annonce la fin de partie… Tendu entre la province d’après-guerre et une Afrique rêvée, Une façon d’aimer évoque la force de nos désirs secrets et la grâce de certaines rencontres. Par petites touches d’une infinie délicatesse, c’est toute l’épaisseur d’une vie de femme qui se dévoile

Abstract: Bibiana e Belonísia são filhas de trabalhadores de uma fazenda no Sertão da Bahia, descendentes de escravos para quem a abolição nunca passou de uma data marcada no calendário. Intrigadas com uma mala misteriosa sob a cama da avó, pagam o atrevimento de lhe pôr a mão com um acidente que mudará para sempre as suas vidas, tornando-as tão dependentes que uma será até a voz da outra. Porém, com o avançar dos anos, a proximidade vai desfazer-se com a perspectiva que cada uma tem sobre o que as rodeia: enquanto Belonísia parece satisfeita com o trabalho na fazenda e os encantos do pai, Zeca Chapéu Grande, entre velas, incensos e ladainhas, Bibiana percebe desde cedo a injustiça da servidão que há três décadas é imposta à família e decide lutar pelo direito à terra e a emancipação dos trabalhadores. Para isso, porém, é obrigada a partir, separando-se da irmã..

Abstract: "À la sortie de la petite gare, en sentant la moiteur dans l'air et en voyant les palmiers sur le parking, elle a eu l'impression de débarquer dans un autre coin que le Finistère, quelque chose d'étrangement chaud, humide, enveloppant, et elle a su qu'elle allait être bien ici." Alex, Margot et Jacques sont inséparables. Pourtant, Alex, compositrice de musique de films, a décidé de quitter Paris. À quarante-cinq ans, installée au milieu de nulle part, elle va devoir se réinventer. Qu'importe, elle réalise enfin son rêve de vivre ailleurs et seule

Abstract: Le riprese in Super8 sono silenziose: passano sul muro, o su un lenzuolo bianco, e a commentarle c’è solo il crepitio del proiettore. Annie Ernaux, premio Nobel per la Letteratura 2022, dà voce a quei silenzi sovrapponendo le proprie parole a una raccolta di filmini familiari girati da lei e suo marito tra il 1972 e il 1981. Davanti e dietro la macchina da presa, la scrittrice racconta una storia intima che, come nei suoi libri, si intreccia con la Storia collettiva. I viaggi in giro per il mondo (dal Cile di Allende all’esotico Marocco, dall’Unione Sovietica alla misteriosa Albania), la quotidianità casalinga, le fughe in campagna e le crisi della famiglia Ernaux riflettono le emozioni e le insicurezze di un’intera classe sociale nei decenni successivi al Sessantotto. E offrono una testimonianza e un punto di vista unici e insostituibili su un momento storico in cui il nostro presente affonda saldamente le sue radici.

Abstract: Musik ist dieses Buch, inhaltlich, formal, sprachlich. Der Schlagzeuger Sämi tourt mit einer Band durch die USA, "die ganz wält taktet", wenn ihr Van über die Highways braust. Sämis Wahrnehmungs- und Gedankenloops takten, der Text taktet in seinen Episoden und Refrains, und es takten auch die Wörter in ihrer phonetischen Schreibung. In ironischem Kontrast zu unserem Lese- und Hörvergnügen erlebt Sämi Enttäuschung und Verdruss..

Abstract: The Echo of Old Books meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found… For too long, Opaline, Martha and Henry have been the side characters in their own lives. But when a vanishing bookshop casts its spell, these three unsuspecting strangers will discover that their own stories are every bit as extraordinary as the ones found in the pages of their beloved books.

Abstract: It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the "peasants"- ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star seems set to rise when he stumbles across a sensational scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents beloved across the neighborhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and “bad apples”: the Greens.

Abstract: In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.

Abstract: American women―American wives―have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.

Abstract: "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.

Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how?
