Ésta es la historia de un hombre, no la de un héroe de cartón. Por vez primera se novela íntegra la vida de Emiliano Zapata y se le presenta al escucha el complejo caleidoscopio de sus hazañas, sus dudas, sus batallas. Zapata es una novela histórica de impecable factura en la que valiéndose de la estructura y la noción de verdad y de historia del corrido mexicano, Pedro Ángel Palou se encara con una de las figuras centrales de la historia de México. De esa lucha entre el narrador y el jefe del ejército libertador del sur emergen capítulos cortados a machete y otros más con cincel, como tallados en la dura piedra de los montes de Morelos.

When Trisha Low moves West, her journey is motivated by the need to arrive “somewhere better” - someplace utopian, like revolution; or safe, like home; or even clarifying, like identity. Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America’s casual racism, sexism, and homophobia. In this book-length essay, the problem of how to account for one’s life comes to the fore - sliding unpredictably between memory, speculation, self-criticism, and art criticism, Low seeks answers that she knows she won’t find.

'Indian-Australian' is not a one-size-fits-all descriptor. Given the depth and richness of diversity of the Indian subcontinent, it is fitting that its diaspora is similarly varied. Growing Up Indian in Australia reflects and celebrates this vibrant diversity. It features contributions from Australian-Indian writers, both established and emerging, who hail from a wide range of backgrounds, religions and experiences. This colorful, energetic anthology offers reflections on identity, culture, family, food and expectations, ultimately revealing deep truths about both Australian and Indian life.

"Moglie mia, ti dico che sto bene e sono vivo, e vedo morire e morire ogni giorno." Tra il 1914 e il 1918 un’unica trincea divide e unisce l’Europa e il mondo: per la prima volta nella storia moderna, infatti, dalla Francia al Medio Oriente uomini di ogni estrazione culturale e sociale si trovano a condividere – gli uni contro gli altri, gli uni come gli altri – le medesime misere condizioni di vita sui campi di battaglia, le medesime paure, la medesima vicinanza con la violenza e la morte.

Nell'autunno del 1975 la sedicenne Jeanette Winterson deve prendere una decisione: rimanere al 200 di Water Street assieme ai genitori adottivi o continuare a vedere la ragazza di cui è innamorata e vivere in una Mini presa in prestito. Sceglie la seconda strada, perché tutto quello che vuole è essere felice. Tenta di spiegarlo alla madre, che però le chiede: "Perché essere felice quando puoi essere normale?". Da questa frase inizia il racconto intimo e personale di un'infanzia trascorsa fra un padre indifferente e una madre che passa le notti sveglia ad ascoltare il Vangelo alla radio, impastando torte e lavorando a maglia.

A wizard without a wand. A smuggler of secrets. A man out of time. Eric Hawthorne Wood isn’t the kind of wizard you’d find in a fantasy novel—no robes, no spells, no dramatic theatrics. He’s more like an aging James Bond with a touch of the arcane. His job? Escort priceless, powerful, and sometimes perilous objects through the shadows of the modern world, where magic isn’t a myth—it’s a well-guarded secret. Operating under the radar of everyday society, Wood serves a clandestine community of long-lived, hidden-in-plain-sight Western wizards who call themselves “the College.

"The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" is Sir Conan Doyle’s second collection about the great detective. In this collection we meet the same two protagonists, namely Holmes and Watson, but the cases and mysteries that must be solved are completely new. The disappearance of a champion horse, a dead coachman and stolen naval treaty are only a small portion of all the mysteries the two men will have to deal with.

De Profundis è una lunga lettera che Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) scrisse nel 1897, durante la sua reclusione al carcere di Reading, a "Bosie", il suo amante Lord Alfred Douglas, dopo essere stato condannato per "gross indecency", il reato che criminalizzava l'attività sessuale tra maschi adulti.

George Sperryhawke, the bombastic rogue and forgotten founding father, chronicles life in 18th-century America as he clambers and swindles his way up the social ladder. After running away from home and being expelled from the seminary, Sperryhawke went to sea and would go on to become one of the wealthiest men in the colonies by the age of 25, and a pivotal figure in the founding of the Republic. A thoroughly unreliable and mostly unlikable figure, the discovery of the Sperryhawke manuscripts has given students of American history great cause for rejoicing.

When the Japanese invade in 1942, the Australian men and women stationed at the New Guinea port of Rabaul flee into the jungle. Written off by their government as ‘hostages to fortune', the little-known garrison on Australia's tropic frontier has been left with no modern equipment, no lifeline to the outside, and no means of escape. Most are captured and killed in the sinking of the prison ship Montevideo Maru, which remains Australia's worst sea disaster. But the surviving soldiers and nurses carry on.

Before Adam Farrer’s family relocated to Withernsea in 1992, he’d never heard of the Holderness coast. The move represented one thing to Adam: a chance to leave the insecurities of early adolescence behind. And he could do that anywhere. What he didn’t know was how much he’d grow to love the quirks and people of this faded Yorkshire resort, in spite of its dilapidated attractions and retreating clifftops. While Adam documents the minutiae of small-town life, he lays bare experiences that are universal.
