Love in Exile - Shon Faye

The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times best-seller on our search for love'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie NelsonShon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye’s experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled. In Love in Exile, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.

Letters in Exile - Claude McKay

A collection of private correspondence from one of the Harlem Renaissance’s brightest and most radical voices  The Jamaican-born, queer author Claude McKay (1890–1948) was a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. His 1919 poem “If We Must Die” expressed a revolutionary vision for militant Black protest art, while his novels, including Home to Harlem, Banjo, and Banana Bottom, described ordinary Black life in lyrical prose. Yet for all that McKay connected himself to Harlem, he was a restless world traveler who sought spiritual, artistic, and political sustenance in France, Spain, Moscow, and Morocco.  Brooks E. Hefner and Gary Edward Holcomb bring together two decades of McKay’s never-before-published dispatches from the road with correspondents including W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Alain Locke, Max Eastman, and Louise Bryant. With wit, wisdom, insight, and sometimes irascible temper, McKay describes how he endured harassment from British authorities in London and worked alongside Leon Trotsky and Alexander Kerensky in Bolshevik Moscow. He reflects on Paris’s Lost Generation, immerses himself in the Marseille dockers’ noir subculture, and observes French colonialism in Morocco. Providing a new perspective on a unique figure of American modernism, this collection reveals McKay gossiping, cajoling, and confiding as he engages in spirited debates and challenges the political and artistic questions of the day.

George Christie was president of the notorious Ventura charter of the Hells Angels for three decades. While Sonny Barger was the club’s reckless leader, George was the negotiator, the spokesman.

He describes the brotherhood and the betrayals, being targeted by the Feds and his stretches in prison. He also reveals how the club changed, why he decided to leave for the sake of his family and how the leadership turned on him.

Rumi's Daughter - Muriel Maufroy

Rumi is now acknowledged as one of the great mystical poets of the Western world, with huge sales of the many collections of his poetry. Not much is known about his life except that he lived in thirteenth-century Anatolia (now Turkey), had a great spiritual friendship with a wild man called Shams, brought an adopted daughter into his family, and was distraught when Shams finally disappeared. Rumi''s Daughter is the delightful novel about Kimya, the girl who was sent from her rural village to live in Rumi''s home. She already had mystical tendencies, and learned a great deal under Rumi''s tutelage. Eventually she married Shams, an unusual husband, almost totally absorbed by his longings for God. Their marriage was fiery and different and, in the end, dissolved by Kimya''s death - after which Shams vanished. Rumi''s Daughter tells Kimya''s story with great charm and tenderness. Well written and thought-provoking, it is sure to draw comparison with Paolho Coelho''s The Alchemist, and also to add something fresh and new to what is so far known about Rumi.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Bringing into harsh focus the daily struggle for existence in a Soviet gulag, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is translated by Ralph Parker in Penguin Modern Classics. This brutal, shattering glimpse of the fate of millions of Russians under Stalin shook Russia and shocked the world when it first appeared. Discover the importance of a piece of bread or an extra bowl of soup, the incredible luxury of a book, the ingenious possibilities of a nail, a piece of string or a single match in a world where survival is all. Here safety, warmth and food are the first objectives. Reading it, you enter a world of incarceration, brutality, hard manual labour and freezing cold - and participate in the struggle of men to survive both the terrible rigours of nature and the inhumanity of the system that defines their conditions of life.Though twice-decorated for his service at the front during the Second World War, Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) was arrested in 1945 for making derogatory remarks about Stalin, and sent to a series of brutal Soviet labour camps in the Arctic Circle, where he remained for eight years. Released after Stalin's death, he worked as a teacher, publishing his novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich with the approval of Nikita Khrushchev in 1962, to huge success. His 1967 novel Cancer Ward, as well as his magnum opus The Gulag Archipelago, were not as well-received by Soviet authorities, and not long after being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1970, Solzhenitsyn was deported from the USSR. In 1994, after twenty years in exile, Solzhenitsyn made his long-awaited return to Russia.If you enjoyed One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, you might also like Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, available in Penguin Classics.'It is a blow struck for human freedom all over the world ... and it is gloriously readable'Sunday Times

In the Midst of Shame - Petulia Blake

Society is seen through the lenses of Hope Livingston, a woman whose birth is shrouded in secrecy. While in exile, she talks about her life as a white Creole woman born on the island of St. James in the West Indies. Against the wishes of Angela, her personal slave, Hope fantasizes about becoming a sugar cane plantation owner. The indignity of slavery is placed in the background as she aspires to find a prominent place in society at all costs. In an industry dominated by men like Master Livingston, who scorns the idea of women governing in the lucrative sugar industry, Hope joins forces with Gloria Hanover, the most influential plantation owner on the island. Hope becomes immersed in a lifestyle where sexual deviance, desire for status and cruelty, are guided by her idol. The unleashing of fear upon black people manifests with beatings as a powerful means to dominate. Little did they know that the subservience was a facade. Amid the frequent Maroon rebellions and resistance to slavery, social uncertainty begins to seep into the lives of the privileged and prideful class. When the reliance on free labor begins to collapse, secrets find their way out of the closet. And Hope''s life begins to turn upside down when dry bones refuse to remain hidden behind great house walls.

A TOTAL CATASTROPHE!All across Imihama, people have begun sprouting feline ears and tails, and adopting bizarre speech patterns!

O exile - Miron Keruľ-Kmec st.

V treťom stupni Rebríka nás svätý Ján Klimak povzbudzuje opustiť „domovinu“ a vydať sa do „exilu“. Už samotný titul naznačuje ducha radikálnosti, aký musí vládnuť v duši človeka, ktorý sa vydáva na cestu k spáse. Je potrebné premôcť pokušenie, ktoré nám nahovára, že učenie obsiahnuté v tomto stupni je určené iba pre tých v „čiernych róbach“. Uvažovanie nad slovami svätého Jána Klimaka veľmi rýchlo zavrhne prvotný dojem, že ide o nejaký trest alebo odstránenie vecí, ktoré sú potrebné. Exil je cestou k skutočnej slobode. Je to postupné odvracanie alebo oddeľovanie sa od sveta, aby sa človek mohol stať neoddeliteľným od Boha. V srdci exilu je hlboká túžba po Bohu; túžba srdca, ktorá vedie človeka k tomu, aby sa k Nemu utiekal ako k zdroju života. Čím viac túto pravdu začneme vidieť, tým jasnejšie nám bude, že lipneme na veciach s pocitom, že ich potrebujeme pre zmysel alebo účel. Exil je veľmi dôležitý, pretože odstraňuje túto ilúziu a vedie nás do odlúčenia, ktoré je naplnené Bohom.

Exil - Çiler Ilhanová

Exil je útěk, útěk před denními hrůzami, násilím a smrtí, která nás obklopuje, útěk vyjádřený drobnopisem událostí. Exil je mozaika, mozaika střepin zdánlivě nesouvisejících příběhů tvořící temnou plochu každodenní skutečnosti, skutečnosti o které se dovídáme v denním žurnálu zpráv, skutečnosti, která teprve v osobních příbězích se stává bolestnou až k nesnesení.

Exile Economics - Ben Chu

THE MUST-READ GUIDE TO THE TRADE WAR'A smart, vivid and humane account of the way the world really works' TIM HARFORD 'This is the book to read if you want to understand what might be about to hit the world economy' EVAN DAVISThe dangerous race for self-sufficiency has begun. Be warned. Nations are turning away from each other. Faith in globalisaton has been fatally undermined by the pandemic, the energy crisis, surging trade frictions and swelling great power rivalry. A new vision is vying to replace what we've known for many decades. This vision - Exile Economics - entails a rejection of interdependence, a downgrading of multilateral collaboration and a striving for greater national self-sufficiency. The supporters of this new order argue it will establish genuine security, prosperity and peace. But is this promise achievable? Or a seductive delusion? Through the stories of globally traded commodities - from silicon to steel and from soybeans to solar panels - economics journalist Ben Chu illustrates the intricate web of interdependence that has come to bind nations together - and underlines the dangers of this new push to isolationism. Exile Economics is an essential guide to this new world in all its promise and peril.

Wandering Spirits of Exile - Monica Minott

In Wandering Spirits of Exile, poems converse with art, bridging words and visual representation. This powerful collection breathes life into images, capturing their essence and telling their stories. Through three sections, the collection reimagines the exilic journey.Section 1 interrogates and illuminates the Middle Passage. Section 2 delves into the spirit-life of Jamaica’s Nanny of the Maroons, tracing the ''Nanny Spirit'' through generations. Section 3 expands the narrative through artists like Mallica ''Kapo'' Reynolds and Jean-Michel Basquiat, portraying the enduring legacy of Africans in the New World.With ekphrastic poetry at its core, Wandering Spirits of Exile weaves history and emotion, confronting institutional violence and social disenfranchisement. The Nanny spirit, a symbol of empowerment, guides readers through a journey of reclamation and resilience. This collection is a tribute to heritage, identity, and the uncontainable spirit of those far from home.

Embracing Exile - David Kraemer

A new interpretation of historical and contemporary Jewish texts that views diaspora as a positive outcome for Jews and for the worldJewish people have always wandered. According to their origin story, they wandered from Ur of Chaldees to Canaan, then Egypt, and then back to Canaan. From there, they were exiled to Babylon, where they lived for centuries. They also settled in Persia, Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine, England, the United States, among many other places. Diaspora became normal to Jews, and though they may have hoped for a return to their "Promised Land" at the "End of Days," they made sense of their many homes, defending diaspora as the realm where Jewish life could grow, and they could fulfil their obligations to God. Embracing Exile analyzes biblical and rabbinic texts, philosophical treatises, studies of Kabbalah, Hasidism, and a multiplicity of modern expressions. It offers revised readings of the Bible''s book of Esther, a survey of Talmudic treatments of exile, an in-depth analysis of the thought of the early modern master, the Maharal of Prague, as well as the work of novelist Philip Roth, among other modern authors. David Kraemer shows that Diaspora Jews through the ages insisted that God joined them in their exiles, that "Zion" was found in Babylon and Eastern Europe, and that, as citizens of the world, Jews could only live throughout the world. The result is a convincing assertion that lament has not been the most common Jewish response to diaspora and that Zionism is not the natural outcome of either Jewish ideology or history. Kraemer also argues that as the world''s most experienced surviving refugees, Jews also offer a model to more contemporary refugees, demonstrating how they may not only survive but thrive and endure.
