Kim Stanley Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of science fiction masterworks such as the Mars trilogy and 2312, has, on many occasions, imagined our future. Now, in Shaman, he brings our past to life as never before. There is Thorn, a shaman himself. He lives to pass down his wisdom and his stories -- to teach those who would follow in his footsteps. There is Heather, the healer who, in many ways, holds the clan together. There is Elga, an outsider and the bringer of change. And then there is Loon, the next shaman, who is determined to find his own path. But in a world so treacherous, that journey is never simple -- and where it may lead is never certain. Shaman is a powerful, thrilling and heartbreaking story of one young man's journey into adulthood -- and an awe-inspiring vision of how we lived thirty thousand years ago.
In his foreword to World Report on Violence and Health, published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002, Nelson Mandela states that “the twentieth century will be remembered as a century marked by violence”. Now we are nearly at the end of the first quarter of the twenty-first century, but violence still permeates in our lives at various levels.

Bir ailenin sekiz ferdi, sekiz farklı bakış açısı. Avrupa edebiyatının en köklü ve sıra dışı ailelerinden biri olan Mann ailesinin hikâyesi hiç bu şekilde anlatılmadı. Thomas Mann’ın devasa gölgesini rakipleri kadar ailesindekiler de hisseder. Her daim yanında olan eşi Katia, onu çocuklarından korur: babası gibi ünlü bir yazar olmak isteyen oğlu Klaus; tutkuyla seven ve tutkuyla nefret eden büyük kızları Erika; mutluluğu ailesinden uzaklarda arayan çekingen Golo; müzisyen olmak isteyen ve ailenin beklentilerine karşı koyan Michael; hayvanlarla konuşmak ve dünyayı kurtarmak isteyen, babasının gözbebeği Elisabeth ve herkesin alay ettiği Monika. Hayatı uçlarda yaşayan, anne babasının servetini yok eden, hepsi Hitler’e düşman olacak çocuklar. Hayat onları nereye savuracak? Tilmann Lahme’nin belgesel romanı, Mann ailesinin sevgiyle, tarihsel sınavlarla ve ihanetle dolu destansı öyküsünü anlatıyor. “Elindeki malzemeyi olağanüstü bir şekilde anlatan, ilk bakışta eğlenceli ama aslında son derece hüzünlü bir kitap.” Süddeutsche Zeitung

A powerful memoir from the Saturday Night Live cast member Cecily Strong about grieving the death of her cousin—and embracing the life-affirming lessons he taught her—amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Here, trying to make sense of Owen’s death and the upended world, she spent much of the ensuing ...
