The Bostonians, Vol. II (of II)

Viewed from Mt. Vernon Street, the problem of life was as simple as it was classic, Politics offered no difficulties, for there the moral law was a sure guide. Social perfection was also sure, because human nature worked for good, and three instruments were all she asked Suffrage, Common Schools, and Press. On these points doubt was forbidden. Education was divine, and man needed only a correct knowledge of fact to reach perfection

El Fantasma de Canterville

El Fantasma de Canterville

Cuando míster Hiram B. Otis, ministro de los Estados Unidos de América, compró Canterville-Chase, todo el mundo le dijo que cometía una gran locura, porque la finca estaba embrujada. Hasta el mismo lord Canterville, como hombre de la más escrupulosa honradez, se creyó en el deber de participárselo a míster Otis, cuando llegaron a discutir las condiciones.

In fünf Jahren

In fünf Jahren

Wo sehen Sie sich in fünf Jahren? Als die ehrgeizige New Yorker Anwältin Dannie dies beim wichtigsten Bewerbungsgespräch ihrer jungen Karriere gefragt wird, ist ihre Antwort klar, hat sie doch einen minutiös ausgeklügelten Lebensplan. An diesem Abend macht ihr Freund ihr einen Heiratsantrag, und sie legt sich schlafen mit dem guten Gefühl, dass alles so läuft, wie sie es sich gewünscht hat. Doch als sie mitten in der Nacht aufwacht, befindet sie sich in einer fremden Wohnung, an ihrem Finger steckt ein anderer Ring, und neben ihr liegt ein ganz anderer Mann. Im Hintergrund laufen die Nachrichten, und sie sieht das Datum: Es ist derselbe Tag, der 15. Dezember, doch fünf Jahre in der Zukunft. Nach einer Stunde, die alles in Frage stellt, an das sie bisher geglaubt hat, wacht sie in ihrem eigenen Bett wieder auf. Und obwohl sie versucht, diesen Moment zu vergessen, kann sie es nicht. Bis sie viereinhalb Jahre später dem Mann aus ihrem Traum begegnet ...

ÅRETS FÖRFATTARE enligt The British Book Awards 2023ÅRETS FÖRFATTARE HOS WATERSTONES. ÅRETS BOK HOS BARNES & NOBLE. ÅRETS DEBUT HOS GOODREADS. ÅRETS BOK AMAZON.”Feministisk kamp på hög nivå, kryddad med mycket humor och intelligens.”Aftonbladet, årets bästa böcker”… en riktig smällkaramell till debut. Den är smart, mörk, drabbande och framför allt väldigt underhållande.”Göteborgs-Posten, årets bästa böckerElizabeth Zott är ingen vanlig kvinna. Faktum är att Elizabeth Zott skulle vara den första att påpeka att det inte finns något som heter en vanlig kvinna.Det är 1960-tal i Kalifornien. Allt Elizabeth Zott någonsin velat är att satsa på karriären som kemist, men forskningsinstitutet där hon arbetar ligger inte direkt i framkant när det kommer till jämställdhet. Livet händer och plötsligt är Elizabeth ensamstående mamma och – bisarrt nog – stjärna i Amerikas mest omtyckta matlagningsprogram Middag kl sex. Samtidigt som hennes manliga kollegor alltid antytt att köket var den enda platsen för Elizabeth visar sig hennes sällsynta närmande till matlagning (”ta en halvliter H2O och tillsätt en nypa natriumklorid”) och självständiga exempel vara banbrytande. Detta eftersom Elizabeth inte bara lär kvinnor hur man lagar mat, utan också kemins lagar och hur man ändrar status quo. Hon lär dem att en kvinnas plats är ute i världen.

Die Farbe von Wasser

Die Farbe von Wasser

Die Farbe von Wasser erzählt die Geschichte James McBrides, der in den sechziger Jahren – den Zeiten von Malcolm X und Martin Luther Kings – an der Seite von elf Geschwistern in New York aufwächst. Vor allem aber erzählt es die bewegende Geschichte seiner weißen Mutter Ruth, die 1921 in Polen als Tochter eines orthodoxen Rabbiners geboren wird, mit zwei Jahren mit ihrer Familie nach Amerika auswandert und mit 17 für immer ihr Elternhaus in Virgina verlässt, um in New York einen Schwarzen zu heiraten. Eine Familiengeschichte wie ein Roman, mit einer Heldin, die wie selbstverständlich über Rassenkonflikte und persönliche Entbehrungen triumphiert.

La tyrannie de la pénitence

La tyrannie de la pénitence

« Le monde entier nous hait et nous le méritons bien : telle est la conviction d?une majorité d?Européens, du moins à l?Ouest. Depuis 1945, en effet, notre continent est habité par les tourments du repentir. Ressassant ses abominations passées, les guerres incessantes, les persécutions religieuses, l?esclavage, l?impérialisme, le fascisme, le communisme, il ne voit dans sa longue histoire qu?une continuité de tueries, de pillages qui ont abouti à deux conflits mondiaux, c?est-à-dire à un suicide enthousiaste. A ce sentiment de culpabilité, toute une élite intellectuelle et politique donne ses lettres de noblesse, appointée à l?entretien du remords comme jadis les gardiens du feu. Dans cette rumination morose, les nations européennes oublient qu?elles, et elles seules, ont fait l?effort de surmonter leur barbarie pour la penser et se mettre à distance d?elle, construisant un monde de paix et de prospérité. L?Europe a sans doute enfanté des monstres, elle a du même coup enfanté les théories qui permettent de détruire les monstres. ?Curieusement nous vivons aujourd?hui une situation de repentir à sens unique : celui-ci n?est exigé que d?un seul camp, le nôtre, et jamais des autres cultures, des autres régimes qui se drapent dans leur pureté supposée pour mieux nous accuser. Mais l?Europe accepte trop volontiers le chantage à la faute ; si nous adorons nous flageller et nous couvrir la tête de cendres, n?est-ce pas que notre souhait secret est de sortir de l?Histoire, de nous abriter peinards, dans le cocon de la contrition, pour ne plus agir, échapper à nos respnsabilités ? La repentance n?est peut-être rien d?autre que le triomphe de l?esprit d?abdication. » ? P.B ? ?

Madame Bovary

Madame Bovary

One day, Charles visits a local farm to set the owner's broken leg, and meets his client's daughter, Emma Rouault. Emma is a beautiful, daintily dressed young woman who has received a "good education" in a convent and who has a latent but powerful yearning for luxury and romance imbibed from the popular novels she has read. Charles is immediately attracted to her, and begins checking on his patient far more often than necessary until Heloise's jealousy puts a stop to the visits. When Heloise dies, Charles waits a decent interval then begins courting Emma in earnest. Her father gives his consent, and Emma and Charles are married. At this point, the novel begins to focus on Emma. Charles means well, but is boring and clumsy, and after he and Emma attend a ball given by the Marquis d'Andervilliers, Emma grows disillusioned with married life and becomes dull and listless. Charles consequently decides that his wife needs a change of scenery, and moves from the village of Tostes into a larger, but equally stultifying market town, Yonville (traditionally based on the town of Ry). Here, Emma gives birth to a daughter, Berthe; however, motherhood, too, proves to be a disappointment to Emma. She then becomes infatuated with one of the first intelligent young men she meets in Yonville, a young law student, Léon Dupuis, who seems to share her appreciation for "the finer things in life", and who returns her admiration. Out of fear and shame, however, Emma hides her love for Léon and her contempt for Charles, and plays the role of the devoted wife and mother, all the while consoling herself with thoughts and self-congratulations for her own virtue. Finally, in despair of ever gaining Emma's affection, Léon departs to study in Paris.

Heart Bones

Heart Bones

Ung kærlighed med udfordringer i rørende Colleen Hoover-roman. Et uforudset dødsfald tvinger Beyah til at bo med sin far i Texas hen over sommeren, selvom hun knapt nok kender ham. Beyahs plan er at holde lav profil og lade sommeren gå af sig selv, men hendes nye nabo Samson vender op og ned på det hele.På overfladen har Samson og Beyah intet til fælles. Hun kommer fra fattigdom og misrøgt, han kommer fra en familie med rigdom og privilegier. Men én ting har de til fælles: de tiltrækkes af triste ting. Hvilket betyder, at de tiltrækker hinanden. Deres forbindelse er næsten øjeblikkelig og fuldstændig unægtelig, men Beyah og Samson bliver enige om en ukompliceret sommerflirt. Hvad Beyah ikke ved, er at tunge skyer er på vej ind, og at hendes hjerte snart kommer ud i stormvejr.

Un vinovat aproape perfect

Un vinovat aproape perfect

Cum se construiește un nou tip de rasismCăderea Zidului Berlinului a lăsat stânga europeană într-o confuzie totală. Pe câmpul de bătălie al ideilor, progresul, libertatea și universalul au cedat locul unei noi triade importate direct din Statele Unite: genul, identitatea și rasa.Ieri ne luptam în numele proletariatului, al Lumii a Treia și al damnaților planetei; astăzi condamnăm omul alb, făcându-l vinovat de colonialism, sclavie și dominarea femeilor. Trei discursuri – neofeminist, antirasist și decolonial – îl desemnează ca fiind dușmanul comun al omenirii. El a devenit noul Satana, cel pe care propria anatomie îl face un violator ontologic, culoarea pielii – rasist, iar puterea – exploatator al tuturor „dominaților" și „rasizaților".Scopul acestui eseu este de a analiza cum, sub impulsul unei americanizări caricaturale a Europei, lupta de gen și cea de rasă sunt pe cale de a înlocui lupta de clasă, de a alunga meritocrația și de a distruge ideea de umanitate ca unitate. Să facem din omul alb țapul ispășitor prin excelență nu înseamnă decât să înlocuim un rasism cu altul; și, într-un viitor ce se anunță sumbru, cu societăți tribale, care-și păzesc cu strășnicie identitatea, pradă unui război al tuturor contra tuturor.„Pascal Bruckner demontează cu eleganță «fascismul de stânga», venit, în opinia lui, din America și care atacă bărbatul alb, heterosexual, occidental. Cu siguranță, Un vinovat aproape perfect va da naștere multor polemici." – Lire„Derapajele fenomenului #MeeToo, negarea violurilor din Köln, cenzura din universități, precum și tabuul legat de comerțul oriental cu sclavi sunt câteva dintre subiectele abordate pertinent de acest nou eseu al lui Pascal Bruckner." – Le Figaro Magazine„Concluzia acestui strălucit eseu al lui Bruckner este că white bashing, denigrarea omului alb, trebuie să înceteze, înainte ca această farsă să se transforme în tragedie. Pentru că, la urma urmelor, omul alb nu este decât un om ca oricare altul." – EditoNăscut la Paris în 1948, Pascal Bruckner este romancier şi eseist, o figură emblematică a intelectualităţii franceze.La Editura Trei au apărut toate romanele sale – Casa îngerilor, Luni de fiere, Hoţii de frumuseţe, Fiul cel bun, Care dintre noi doi l-a născocit pe celălalt?, Iubirea faţă de aproapele, Căpcăunii anonimi, Copilul divin, Palatul chelfănelii, Iubito, eu mă micşorez!..., Păzea, se-ntoarce Moş Crăciun!, Paria, Un an și o zi, volumele de eseuri – Noua dezordine amoroasă, Fanaticii apocalipsei, Paradoxul iubirii, Căsătoria din dragoste, Euforia peretuă, Mizeria prosperităţii, Tirania penitenţei. Eseu despre masochismul occidental, Înțelepciunea banilor, Un rasism imaginar, O scurtă eternitate, precum și volumul de teatru Ce dorește domnul?.

Meditations

Meditations

Includes Dynamic Chapter Linking For Ease of Navigation Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161–180 CE, setting forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in "highly-educated" Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, and the third book was written at Carnuntum. It is not clear that he ever intended the writings to be published, so the title Meditations is but one of several commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. His stoic ideas often involve avoiding indulgence in sensory affections.

The Island of Doctor Moreau

The Island of Doctor Moreau

H. G. Wells’s science fiction classic: the dark and captivating story of one man’s fight for survival against the lab-made nightmares of a mad scientist Shipwrecked and abandoned, Edward Prendick cautiously steps ashore a remote island in the Pacific. Though wary, Prendick is unaware of the horrors that await him here. But what appears at first to be a typical volcanic island slowly reveals itself to be the macabre workshop of maligned London physiologist Dr. Moreau. Moreau’s genius had been celebrated far and wide until the true nature of his work was exposed. Now secluded on his island, Moreau engages unimpeded in gruesome experiments of vivisection, splicing animal and man together in a terrifying display of his dominion over nature. When Prendick realizes he’s slated to be the next subject on Moreau’s grisly surgical table, he flees to the jungle—where all manner of unnatural creatures abound...
