''A forgotten classic: darkly funny and startlingly contemporary, full of witty one-liners and stop-you-in-your-tracks observations about romance, work, and life.'' (Monica Heisey, Really Good, Actually).''I was floored: truly brilliant.'' (Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss)It feels remarkable to be a deserted wife when one is only twenty-four.New York, 1924. Patricia and Peter are a thoroughly modern married couple. Both drink. Both smoke. Both work. Both believe in ''Love-Outside-Marriage''. Until they don''t. Or, really, until he doesn''t. So when Peter pushes for divorce with increasing violence, Patricia has to forge a new life as a single woman: as an ex-wife.A sensational bestseller in 1929, yet utterly timeless, Ex-Wife plunges us into the ''era of the one-night stand''. It evokes not only the Manhattan bars, fashion advertising offices, female friendships and all-night parties of a dazzling city, but the hollow affairs, emotional hangovers, backstreet abortions, and struggles for sexual freedoms amidst the moral double standards of a patriarchal world.

AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4''S ''A GOOD READ''Such a wonderful book. Utterly unique, exquisitely crafted and quietly powerful. I loved it and want everyone to read this lost literary treasure.'' Bernardine Evaristo''Maud Martha finds beauty in the brutal formative moments that make us. It is one of my favorite depictions of how a woman comes to trust her eyes.'' Raven Leilani''The quotidian rises to an exquisite portraiture of black womanhood in the hands of one of America''s most foundational writers.'' Claudia Rankine''Maud Martha reveals the poetry, power and splendor of an ordinary life.'' Tayari Jones''Incredible ... She is a quietly radical seer, she is literature itself, a person in the world. It’s a rare kind of perfect!'' Max PorterWhat, what, am I to do with all of this life? Maud Martha Brown is a little girl growing up on the South Side of 1940s Chicago. Amidst the crumbling taverns and overgrown yards, she dreams: of New York, romance, her future. She admires dandelions, learns to drink coffee, falls in love, decorates her kitchenette, visits the Jungly Hovel, guts a chicken, buys hats, gives birth. But her lighter-skinned husband has dreams too: of the Foxy Cats Club, other women, war. And the ''scraps of baffled hate'' – a certain word from a saleswoman; that visit to the cinema; the cruelty of a department store Santa Claus– are always there …Written in 1953 but never published in Britain, Maud Martha is a poetic collage of happenings that forms an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary life: one lived with wisdom, humour, protest, rage, dignity, and joy.

His new neighbours are intrigued by this cultured German gentleman who works as a piano tuner; many are fellow émigrés, who assume that he, like them, came to England to flee Hitler. That summer, Braun courts a woman, attends classical concerts, dances the twist.

I hadn't had a haircut in forty days and forty nights, and I was beginning to look like several violinists out of work.Depression-era San Francisco, home to the lost souls of many races: immigrants, struggling writers and heartsick adolescents, collecting in automats, nightschools, movies and barbershops, working in vineyards, telegram exchanges and as salesmen - and always revelling in being alive. A bestseller on publication in 1934, The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze was the debut collection by the Pulitzer Prize-winning (and rejecting) Armenian-American writer William Saroyan. Fusing Whitman's transcendence with the eccentric characterisation of Steinbeck and Salinger, and foreshadowing the rhapsodies of the Beats, his prose is a heart-expanding experience that intoxicates to this day.

"This fine collection of short stories gives an example of experienced writing and deep feeling of the situation of mankind. The themes and styles oscillate between fantastic horror, kafkaesque absurdity, surrealism or even a tragic love story. It is a journey over half of our world: from the communist Czechoslovakia over to Russia and eventually North America, both USA and Canada. The author's language and approach succeeds in narrating even the bleak events with irony and humour."

-- As featured in The Bookseller Buyer''s Guide Seasonal HighlightsA spectacular, vivid, groundbreaking work of history which takes us into the minds and lives of medieval women.What was life really like for women in the medieval period? How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear the stories of women from this period? Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times. But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Those women were: Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a "no-good wife". In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period. Each of them broke new ground in women’s writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics.Hetta Howes has spent her working life uncovering these women’s stories to give us a valuable and unique historical biography of their lives that challenges what we hold to be common knowledge about medieval women in Europe. Women did earn money, they could live independent lives, and they thought, loved, fought and suffered just as we do today.This mesmerising book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.

The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments – and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century.Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today’s global for-profit medication system.A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary’s Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine’s values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.

Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare''s greatest plays, but also the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature. First performed around 1600, this a gripping and exuberant drama of revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on death, morality and the very status of human beings make him ‘the first modern man’. Countless stage productions and numerous adaptations for the cinema and television have demonstrated the continuing cultural relevance of this vivid, enigmatic, profound and engrossing drama.

Kniha Uršuly Flemingové Uchop kopřivu poskytuje návod a metodu, jak se v životě aktivně potýkat s bolestí, strachem a utrpením z vlastních, skrytých zdrojů i tehdy, kdy lékařská věda už nemůže pomoci. Nejde jen o ryze odbornou příručku, ale o ohlédnutí autorky, kdysi přední anglické fyzioterapeutky, za čtyřiceti lety života plně věnovaného péči o lidi trpící bolestí. Metoda tzv. "soustředěné relaxace", kterou sama vyvinula a prověřila svým výzkumem a praxí, měla výsledky i tam, kde už se nečekalo, že by zmírnění bolesti bylo vůbec možné. Její účinky ilustruje na příbězích několika pacientů, kterým pomohla buďto k návratu do plnohodnotného života, nebo k pokojné smrti. Upřímně, stručně a srozumitelně se s námi dělí také o své myšlenky a názory na místo bolesti a utrpení v životě člověka i na současný stav světa kolem nás a lidí v něm. Některé zcela nové přístupy k bolesti a jejím příčinám, dnes pokládané za samozřejmé, pomáhala prosazovat do praxe právě Uršula Flemingová.

Kniha pojednává o jeptišce, která se seznámila s učením Martina Luthera a opustila klášter. Dostala se do okruhu přátel Martina Luthera, kde se s reformátorem seznámila, a po čase se vzali. Autorka zde velice čtivě především líčí rodinný život reformátora Luthera, na kterém vstřícně vykládá základy reformačního učení Martina Luthera. Čtenáře také krátce seznamuje s životem v tehdejším ženském klášteře. Martin Luther působil v německém Wittenbergu, kde za jeho života žil významný německý malíř a reformátorův přítel Lucas Cranach, svého času také starosta města. Lutherovi a Cranachovi žili v blízkém přátelství a autorka, při líčení vzájemných setkávání rodin, umně a velice populárně seznamuje čtenáře i s tvorbou a malířskou technikou Mistrova výtvarného díla.

Co kdyby kočky dovedly létat? První české vydání klasické dětské knížky legendární autorky. Všechny čtyři díly v jednom svazku. Ursula K. Le Guinová znala kočky natolik dobře, že v těchto příbězích o nich nenajdete jediné nepravdivé slovo (až na ta křídla, samozřejmě). Drobná dobrodružství okřídlených koťat nenápadně nastolují autorčina klíčová témata, například to, že svoboda je vždycky důležitější než sláva. Kniha je souborným vydáním všech čtyř dílů, které v originále vycházely postupně a s velkým časovým odstupem: 1. Křídločky 2. Křídločky se vrací 3. Úžasný Alexandr a křídločky 4. Jana už je velká

Annares je bezútěšný měsíc osídlený anarchickou utopickou civilizací, kde neexistuje žádná vláda a všichni, alespoň teoreticky, jsou revolucionáři. Dlouho byl izolován od ostatních světů, včetně své mateřské planety Urras – kde mezi sebou národy ještě stále válčí a ta největší chudoba kontrastuje s nemravným bohatstvím. Shevek, skvělý fyzik, hodlá obě civilizace sjednotit. Tváří v tvář velkému nepřátelství, hrozbám i bolesti z odloučení od rodiny podnikne bezprecedentní cestu do Urrasu. Bez ohledu na nebezpečí věří, že hradby nenávisti a nedůvěry mezi jeho planetou a zbytkem civilizovaného vesmíru musí být strženy. Bude hledat odpovědi, zpochybňovat nezpochybnitelné a zkoumat rozdíly ve zvycích a kulturách… a buď své národy spojí, nebo zahyne.
