V tichej dublinskej uličke čaká na objavenie dávno stratené kníhkupectvo… Opaline, Martha a Henry pridlho hrali vo vlastnom živote vedľajšie postavy. Navzájom sa nepoznajú, ale všetkých troch zaujme a očarí tajomné miznúce a opäť sa objavujúce kníhkupectvo. Zistia, že ich životy sú rovnako neobyčajné ako príbehy postáv v obľúbených knihách. Odhalia tajomstvá ukryté v zaprášených poličkách a tie ich prenesú do zázračného sveta… kde nič nie je také, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Opaline, mladú ženu zo začiatku 20. storočia, zavedie útek pred núteným sobášom až do zaprášeného obchodíka v Írsku. Martha uniká pred agresívnym manželom a skončí ako pomocnica v domácnosti u svojráznej pani Bowdenovej. Skutočnosť, že v jej pivničnej izbičke vyrastá zo stien strom a na jeho konároch sa objavujú poličky s knihami, je už len nepodstatný detail. A doktorand Henry sa túži presadiť v literárnom svete a objaviť stratený a nikdy nevydaný druhý román Emily Brontëovej. Pátranie ho privedie k domu pani Bowdenovej. Pôvabný román Evie Woodsovej nenásilne balansuje na hrane reality a fantázie, kombinuje prvky zo žánrov historickej fikcie, ľúbostného románu a magického realizmu a pridáva aj štipku humoru. Stratené kníhkupectvo oslavuje nielen úžasnú moc kníh zmeniť naše životy, ale aj pocit zázračna, ktorý v nás prebúdzajú, lebo nám pripomínajú, že možné je všetko.

The classic texts that shaped our culture feature exclusive cover art by distinguished artist Malika Favre. Her bold, graphic style gives each classic literature book a small masterpiece for a jacket. Collect the set or prize The Scarlet Letter special edition as your showpiece literary classic. Boston, mid-seventeenth century: Hester Prynne, dignified and silent, is led through prison doors to her public shaming by her censorious Puritan neighbors. Holding her illegitimate child to her breast and bearing a bright scarlet letter "A" embroidered on her bodice, Hester must now struggle to create a new life for herself and her child in this harsh and unforgiving community. When her missing spouse reappears and takes up residence in town under an assumed identity, the stage is set for an explosive confrontation between the truly moral and the merely religious.Literary history and meaning: The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was first published in 1850. It is a novel set in Puritan New England in the seventeenth century, and it tells the story of Hester Prynne, a woman who is branded with a scarlet letter "A" as punishment for committing adultery. The novel delves into themes of sin, guilt, redemption, and the harsh judgment of society. Nathaniel Hawthorne's exploration of these themes, coupled with his rich symbolism and intricate prose, has solidified The Scarlet Letter as a classic work of American literature. Its enduring relevance lies in its exploration of moral ambiguity, individual conscience, and the consequences of societal hypocrisy, which continue to resonate with readers today.

“I moved to a country called writing” declares Tim Tim Cheng in this striking debut collection. The Tattoo Collector explores family history, displacement, politics, protest, and, as it moves between East and West, the uses of language to illustrate and interrogate what lies in between. As these poems range from Hong Kong, Scotland, and London, they unravel the relationship between the body, ecology and class with precise and haunting tenderness.Here, in Cheng’s illuminating and needle-sharp poems, the tattoo is a narrative, the body a radical means of expression. In states of flux, between resisting and belonging, we enter museums, hospitals, graveyards, and gigs. These intimate and polyphonic poems invite us to be troubled and enthralled by exhibits and the stories they have to tell, to look inside the glass box and study what is on display. Close-up, the poems bring into the daylight details that can be seen skin-deep on the surface, as well as those which point to another meaning, inked indelibly, beneath.

Now available in a special hardcover Deluxe Collector’s Edition featuring beautiful new packaging, including vibrantly stamped case, endpapers, sprayed edges, and sewn-in ribbon bookmark! A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks'' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces.“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness—not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better. “Each offering from bell hooks is a major event, as she has so much to give us.” — Maya Angelou
