Matrix
Dorință mascată de putere sau devotament sincer față de aproape? Aceasta e doar una dintre întrebările pe care le pune în lumină romanul lui Groff. Marie, o bastardă la curtea regală franceză, e trimisă la vârsta de șaptesprezece ani să se ocupe în Anglia de o mănăstire aflată în paragină. Odată devenită stareță, Marie (viitoarea poetă faimoasă pentru laiurile sale) o reconstruiește din temelii: dintr-un loc stăpânit de foamete și boală, abația ajunge să le ofere siguranță și prosperitate măicuțelor. Un scut în fața oricăror adversități, mănăstirea devine un spațiu aproape utopic, stârnind vâlvă și stupoare. Inspirată de viziunile pe care le are cu fecioara Maria, stareța își cultivă însă nestingherită propriile ambiții, căutând, totodată, un sens măreț în existența ei și a surorilor sale. Eroina cu inteligență ascuțită și spirit întreprinzător, meditația asupra credinței religioase, asupra sacralității și senzualității fac din captivantul roman al lui Lauren Groff o lectură de actualitate.
Undisruptable

Imagine If...
An urgent manifesto for re-defining human potential in our turbulent times, from the bestselling author of The Element 'As we face an increasingly febrile future, the answer is not to do better what we've done before. We have to do something else . . . We must urgently re-imagine education and schools' Imagination and creativity are at the root of every uniquely human achievement and those achievements have brought us to this present moment. As we reckon with the extractive practices that have depleted our natural resources and threaten our survival as a species, Sir Ken Robinson argues that we must also find a better way of cultivating human potential in order to navigate our uncertain future. This incisive book distills the thought and expertise that underpinned Sir Ken's influential work as educator, speaker and adviser; grounded in his unwavering belief in the indispensable value of human potential. Imagine If . . . reframes the ongoing debate in a compelling new way, bringing fresh inspiration and much-needed clarity, and sets out the blueprint for creating new systems of education that are based on diversity, creativity and collaboration.
Bestiary
Three generations of Taiwanese American women are haunted by the myths of their homeland in this blazing debut of one family's queer desires, violent impulses and buried secrets. One evening, Mother tells Daughter a story about a tiger spirit who lived in a woman's body. Her name was Hu Gu Po, and she hungered to eat children, especially their toes. Soon afterwards, Daughter awakes with a tiger tail. And more mysterious events follow: Holes in the backyard spit up letters penned by her estranged grandmother; a visiting aunt leaves red on everything she touches; a ghost bird shimmers in an ancient birdcage. All the while, Daughter is falling for a neighbourhood girl named Ben with mysterious stories of her own. As the two young lovers translate the grandmother's letters, Daughter begins to understand that each woman in her family embodies an old Taiwanese myth, and fears the power of the tiger spirit bristling within her to cause pain. She will have to bring her family's secrets to light in order to derail their destiny. 'What gives me fuel are other books - anything stylish and/or dirty. This year I loved reading K-Ming Chang's Bestiary' Raven Leilani, author of Luster
How They Rule the World
*The International Bestseller* Is there anything more cut-throat than global politics? Wherever you turn – Europe, Russia, China, Korea, Syria, the Middle East – we are living in a time of global geopolitical power plays.

Banos presents this high-stakes game as a series of 22 universal rules on how to act and exert influence in the international sphere. Each principle is contextualised in both classic...
Another Life
In his remarkable memoir, at once frank, audacious, canny, and revealing, Michael Korda, the author of Charmed Lives and Queenie, does for the world of books what Moss Hart did for the theater in Act One, and succeeds triumphantly in making publishing seem as exciting (and as full of great characters) as the stage. Another Life is not just an adventure--the engaging and often hilarious story of a young man making his career--but the insider's story of how a cottage industry metamorphosed into a big business, with sometimes alarming results for all concerned. Korda writes with grace, humor, and a shrewd eye, not only about himself and his rise from a lowly (but not humble) assistant editor re...
