"description": "An entrancing and prismatic debut novel by Christine Lai, set in a near future fraught with ecological collapse, Landscapes brilliantly explores memory, empathy, preservation, and art as an instrument for recollection and renewal. In the English countryside—decimated by heat and drought—Penelope archives what remains of an estate’s once notable collection. As she catalogues the library’s contents, she keeps a diary of her final months in the dilapidated country house that has been her home for two decades and a refuge for those who have been displaced by disasters. Out of necessity, Penelope and her partner, Aidan, have sold the house and its scheduled demolition marks the pressing deadline for completing the archive. But with it also comes the impending return of Aidan’s brother, Julian, at whose hands Penelope suffered during a brief but violent relationship twenty-two years before. As Julian’s visit looms, Penelope finds herself unable to suppress the past, and she clings to art as a means of understanding, of survival, and of reckoning. Recalling the works of Rachel Cusk and Kazuo Ishiguro, Landscapes is an elegiac and spellbinding blend of narrative, essay, and diary that reinvents the country house novel for our age of catastrophe, and announces the arrival of an extraordinarily gifted new writer.",

"description": "The best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road returns with a two-volume masterpiece in an artfully designed box set. The Passenger is a fast-paced and sprawling novel while Stella Maris is a tightly controlled coda, told entirely in dialogue. Together they relate the thrilling story of a brother and sister, haunted by loss, pursued by conspiracy, and longing for a death they cannot reconcile with God. The Passenger 1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western, a salvage diver, zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the boat deck into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot's flight bag, the plane's black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit--by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. Stella Maris 1972, BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN: Alicia Western is twenty years old when she arrives at a psychiatric facility with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Look for The Passenger, the first volume in The Passenger series, on sale October 25th, 2022; and Stella Maris, the second volume, on sale December 6th, 2022",

"description": "WINNER OF THE 2009 MAN BOOKER PRIZE WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR FICTION A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The first novel in Hilary Mantel’s magnificent trilogy about Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII, in a gorgeous new edition to celebrate the trilogy’s completion with the #1 New York Times-bestselling The Mirror & the Light England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell rises to heights no one could have imagined. The Boleyns, the Howards, the old families and the new, cannot fathom why the king so trusts and relies on a man of no title and an obscured past, even after Cromwell’s mentor Cardinal Wolsey falls from favor. Cromwell manages to deliver the king’s wishes, but what will be the price of his triumph? In Wolf Hall, Mantel inhabits the fascinating mind of a man little understood and widely mythologized, bringing his influence on the making of Britain into new, dazzling light.",

"description": "Castellanos Moya vuelve al personaje de Moronga, su anterior novela, para retratar la paranoia y el desarraigo de un emigrado por la violencia. Erasmo Aragón sufre un abrupto cambio de vida al quedarse sin trabajo tras ser falsamente acusado de abuso sexual. La tensión que este incidente genera lo lleva a enterrar sus recuerdos. Sometido por los ansiolíticos, deja atrás la persona desinhibida que fue y se transforma en un ser torturado por la paranoia y en permanente estado de alerta. Durante el redescubrimiento de sí mismo conocerá a Joselin, enfermera que trabaja en la clínica psiquiátrica que sigue su tratamiento y a quien se aferrará como a un clavo ardiendo. Para cortar cualquier conexión con su pasado, Erasmo inicia junto a ella, en Suecia, una nueva vida que se verá sepultada por un alud de insatisfacción y dependencia. En esta breve pero intensa novela, Horacio Castellanos Moya aborda uno de los temas centrales de su obra: el desarraigo que supone para las personas de varias regiones de Latinoamérica los conflictos allí existentes: personas a quienes la vida les ha sido negada; condenadas, de forma irremediable, a vagar por el mundo. Erasmo Aragón da voz a aquellos que habitan entre dos aguas, con un pie en su patria y el otro en países que les resultan hostiles: mientras tratan de mantener cierto equilibrio, la certeza de un hogar se les escapa de las manos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Castellanos Moya turns to the character in Moronga, his previous novel, to portray the paranoia and the rootlessness of a man forced to migrate due to violence. Erasmo Aragón suffers an abrupt shift in his life when he loses his job after being falsely accused of sexual abuse. The strain triggered by this incident drives him to bury his memories. Subdued by his anti-anxiety medication, he leaves behind the disinhibited man he once was and transforms into a paranoid tortured being in a constant state of alertness. During his rediscovery, he will meet Joselin, a nurse working at the psychiatric clinic where he receives treatment, and to whom he clings on to like a red-hot nail. In order to sever all connections to his past, Erasmo starts a new life in Sweden by her side, buried under an avalanche of discontent and dependence. In this brief but intense novel, Horacio Castellanos Moya tackles one of the key elements in his work: the rootlessness local conflicts pose to people of several regions of Latin America—people who have been denied a life, irreparably condemned to roam the earth. Erasmo Aragón gives a voice to those that dwell between two worlds, with one foot in their homeland and another in countries that turn hostile on them. While they try to find a certain balance, the sureness of a home slips through their fingers.",

"description": "El debut literario de Horacio Castellanos Moya que narra la degradación de los izquierdistas que participaron en la revolución salvadoreña. Las turbulentas muertes de los dos principales líderes del frente revolucionario salvadoreño durante los llamados «sucesos de abril» de 1983, han fracturado los cimientos del Partido. Entre las voces disidentes hay intelectuales y artistas, como es el caso de Juan Carlos, huido de El Salvador e instalado en Ciudad de México a comienzos de 1984, donde espera conseguir que Canadá le acepte como refugiado político. Junto a Juan Carlos confluyen en el limbo que es Ciudad de México un elenco de personajes marcados por la guerra civil salvadoreña: un joven exguerrillero que huyó de la represión y anhela reincorporarse a la lucha armada, un periodista argentino que tuvo que huir de la dictadura militar de su país y sueña con escribir el gran libro sobre la revolución centroamericana y un músico que abanderó el mensaje revolucionario en el exilio y malvive carcomido por la culpabilidad y los recuerdos. A través del presente y el pasado de sus protagonistas y de las muertes de los guerrilleros Mélida Anaya Montes, Salvador Cayetano Carpio y Roque Dalton, esta novela impresionante da buena cuenta de la degradación de los izquierdistas, así como de la diáspora sin tregua que el conflicto originó y que es, en definitiva, una de las secuelas de cualquier guerra. La diáspora, debut literario de Horacio Castellanos Moya, se publica por primera vez fuera de El Salvador en una edición revisada por el propio autor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Horacio Castellanos Moya’s literary debut which narrates the downfall of the Left who took part in the Salvadoran revolution. The tempestuous deaths of the Salvadoran Revolutionary Front’s two main leaders in April 1983 shattered the Party’s foundations. Among the dissident voices are intellectuals and artists like Juan Carlos who fled to Mexico City in early 1984, and where he waits for Canada’s decision to accept him as a political refugee. Alongside Juan Carlos and in the same Mexico City limbo, we see various other characters marked by the Salvadoran civil war: a young ex-guerrilla who fled the repression, an Argentine journalist who wants to write a book about the conflict, and a musician who supported the revolutionary propaganda from exile and now lives haunted by the guilt. Through the protagonists’ past and their current lives, along with the deaths of three guerrillas like Melida Anaya Montes, Salvador Cayetano Carpio, and Roque Dalton, this remarkable novel gives a great account of the Left’s downfall, and also of the ongoing diaspora created by the armed conflict.",

"description": "Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Alice Walker's iconic modern classic is now a Penguin Book. A powerful cultural touchstone of modern American literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance and silence. Through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey towards redemption and love.",
