The World Through Picture Books
"The World Through Picture Books (WTPB) is a programme of the IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section in collaboration with IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People) Children's Librarians all over the world understand how important picture books in both traditional and digital formats are for children, for their development, cultural identity and as a springboard into learning to read for themselves. The idea behind the World Through Picture Books was to create a selection of picture books from around the world that have been recommended by librarians, as a way of celebrating and promoting the languages, cultures and quality of children's book publishing globally. The 3rd edition highlights 530 picture books, from 57 countries and featuring 37 languages. It is fully digital and the catalogue as well as a poster and bookmark can be downloaded free of charge." --
Funeral Rites
“A dazzling masterwork” of sex, death, love, and suffering in WWII Vichy France by the infamous novelist and author of Our Lady of the Flowers (Leo Bersani, The New York Times Book Review). One of the great literary outlaws of the 20th century, Jean Genet was committed to challenging the complacent middle-class morality of his native France. His apocalyptic, pornographic, autobiographical novel “Funeral Rites is quite possibly an evil book. It is clearly a brilliant book...a seminal document in the development of one of the most important literary imaginations of our time” (The Washington Post-Times Herald). Genet’s sensual and brutal portrait of World War II France unfolds between...
Generation 0: Unhumans
Five years after the fall of civilization, Josie Revelle and her small band of survivors flee a crumbling Washington DC in search of a more sustainable life. Instead they find burnt-out cities and a countryside poisoned by a mutated, vine-like fungus. They're soon captured by a paramilitary force in thrall to Empress Dawn, a former TV star turned self-appointed royal highness. Her goal is to seize a cache of desperately needed fuel ... and to wipe out the Unhumans, shadowy beings thought responsible for spreading a fatal infection as well as for cultivating the blight swallowing the landscape.Josie begins to question the nature of the Unhumans and the true intentions of the empress, but before she can act, a horde of barbarians storms in, bringing chaos and tearing Josie's band apart. She must now choose a side. One that could force her to wage war against her closest friends.At once a savage survival story and an exploration of honesty and friendship, Generation 0: Unhumans delivers an intricately plotted, dark apocalyptic adventure you won't want to put down. Content warning: graphic/disturbing violence, profanity, and sexual situations. Suggested 14+

Narrative Fiction
What is a narrative? What is narrative fiction? How does it differ from other kinds of narrative? What featuers turn a discourse into a narrative text? Now widely acknowledged as one of the most significant volumes in its field, Narrative Fiction turns its attention to these and other questions. In contrast to many other studies, Narrative Fiction is organized arround issues - such as events, time, focalization, characterization, narration, the text and its reading - rather than individual theorists or approaches. Within this structure, Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan addresses key approaches to narrative fiction, including New Criticism, formalism, structuralism and phenomenology, but also offers vie...
Generation 0
On Friday, June 10 at exactly 9:27 a.m. EST, every adult on Earth drops dead. The children have inherited the Earth. And their nightmare is just beginning. Facing starvation and pursued by a relentless sniper bent on killing her, Josie Revelle - and undersized misfit with nowhere to run - embarks on a mad 48-hour journey that takes her places darker than she ever imagined. She finds friendship in Shawnika Williams, a street-smart, hard-punching girl on a desperate quest to find her missing brother, and Grace Cavanaugh, a naive West Virginia farm girl looking for redemption . . . and Josie's about to become an unwilling messiah. At the end of their path awaits charismatic, megalomaniacal teenage psychopath Zane Barzan, who commands an army of adolescent killers and has been busy building his own blood-soaked empire modeled after Hitler's Third Reich. Misfit. Brawler. Tomboy. Psychopath. Are they the end of humanity, or a new beginning?
