Intermezzo
Sally Rooney
An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.<br/><br/>Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.<br/><br/>Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirtiesâsuccessful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their fatherâs death, heâs medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different womenâhis enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.<br/><br/>Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.<br/><br/>For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interludeâa period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

But the dreamsâinvasive images of blood and brutalityâtorture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. Itâs a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice thatâs become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. <br><br>Celebrated by critics around the world, <i>The Vegetarian</i> is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one womanâs struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.<br><b><br>A Best Book of the Year: <i>BuzzFeed, Entertainment Weekly, Wall Street Journal, Time, Elle, The Economist, HuffPost, Slate, Bustle, The St. Louis Dispatch, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly</i></b>

Canto yo y la montaĂąa baila (Spanish Edition)
Irene Solà Saez ⢠2020
Primero llegan la tormenta y el rayo y la muerte de Domènec, el campesino poeta. Luego, Dolceta, que no puede parar de reĂr mientras cuenta las historias de las cuatro mujeres a las que colgaron por brujas. SiĂł, que tiene que criar sola a Mia e Hilari ahĂ arriba en Matavaques. Y las trompetas de los muertos, que, con su sombrero negro y apetitoso, anuncian la inmutabilidad del ciclo de la vida.<br/>Canto yo y la montaĂąa baila es una novela en la que toman la palabra mujeres y hombres, fantasmas y mujeres de agua, nubes y setas, perros y corzos que habitan entre Camprodon y Prats de MollĂł, en los Pirineos. Una zona de alta montaĂąa y de frontera que, mĂĄs allĂĄ de la leyenda, conserva la memoria de siglos de lucha por la supervivencia, de persecuciones guiadas por la ignorancia y el fanatismo, de guerras fratricidas, pero que encarna tambiĂŠn una belleza a la que no le hacen falta muchos adjetivos. Un terreno fĂŠrtil para liberar la imaginaciĂłn y el pensamiento, las ganas de hablar y de contar historias. Un lugar, quizĂĄs, para empezar de nuevo y encontrar cierta redenciĂłn.

Untamed
Glennon Doyle ⢠2020
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠OVER THREE MILLION COPIES SOLD! âPacked with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today.ââReese Witherspoon (Reeseâs Book Club Pick) In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and âpatron saint of female empowermentâ (People) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet othersâ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us. âUntamed will liberate womenâemotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.ââElizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Oprah Daily, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Bloomberg, Parade This is how you find yourself. There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasnât it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontentâeven from ourselves. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voiceâthe one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the worldâs expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each memberâs ability to bring her full self to the table. And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is. Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution
âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Poppy War  âAbsolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out.â -- Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of Brass From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal retort to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire. Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. 1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day heâll enroll in Oxford Universityâs prestigious Royal Institute of Translationâalso known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver workingâthe art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver barsâhas made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empireâs quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide⌠Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence?

Letters to a Young Poet
âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
<p>Facsimile of 1943 Edition. Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, ten in all, remain a fresh source of inspiration and insight to the poetic sensibility to this day.</p>
