Powerful, piercing and deeply moving, Manto’s works are key to understanding this bloody chapter in South Asian history.
What would happen if a doctor implanted the pituitary gland and testicles of a man into the body of a stray dog? In Mikhail Bulgakov’s topsy-turvy world, the dog starts to walk on two legs, drink, smoke, thieve, chase women and recite every swear word in Russian. The perfect candidate for a government official, in other words. This rude, riotous send-up of the Soviet Union, banned immediately on publication, is satire red in tooth and claw.
A young writer leaves the city to complete her manuscript in a small coastal town, but finds herself writing about the lives of its inhabitants instead – their occupation with memory and tradition, their vibrant female friendships, and the idyll of the landscape that informs their sense of togetherness.

Pracuję na nocną zmianę w pięciogwiazdkowym hotelu w centrum Los Angeles, często więc natykam się na różnych dziwaków. Nic jednak nie mogło mnie przygotować na noc, kiedy poznałam Pioruna. Uratował mi życie. Teraz jest moim superbohaterem – ogierem, któremu mam ochotę podziękować o wiele bardziej kreatywnie niż głupim pocałunkiem w policzek. Szkoda tylko, że w prawdziwym życiu jest też Reece’em Richardsem, moim cholernie przystojnym szefem. Reece unika zobowiązań z powodu swojej diabolicznej byłej dziewczyny i światowego imperium zła, a także dlatego, że musi ocalić miasto przed wariatką gotową zniszczyć wszystko, co pokochał. Jest jednak coś jeszcze, co może wpłynąć na wszystkie te plany. Moje serce…
Luke Evans to łamacz kobiecych serc. Nie chciałam dawać mu mojego. Nie, skoro nie chciał się zaangażować. Dał mi tyle, dokładnie tyle, ile potrzebowałam, żeby się w nim zakochać. Powtarzam to sobie, by przekonać o tym samą siebie. Ale przecież znam prawdę. Zakochałabym się w nim nawet na odległość. Podarowanie Luke'owi mojego serca było najłatwiejszą rzeczą, jaką kiedykolwiek uczyniłam. Naiwnie pragnęłam więcej z nadzieją, że on chce tego samego co ja. Próbuję go nienawidzić. Próbuję o nim zapomnieć. Ale to wcale nie jest takie proste. Miłość to bezwzględna suka, a ja jestem jej najnowszą ofiarą. Tessa Kelly to modliszka. Gdy na ciebie spojrzy, nie tylko zjada twoje serce, lecz także duszę. To, co było między nami, było idealne, prawdziwe. Było spełnieniem moich marzeń. Ale ona to zniszczyła. Zniszczyła nas. Próbuję jej nienawidzić. Próbuję o niej zapomnieć. Ale to wcale nie jest takie proste. Miłość jest dla ludzi, którzy mają nadzieję, a ja nie mam już żadnej.

Discover the transformative power of words and conversations in The Power of Words, the profound and inspiring international bestseller by renowned neuroscientist Mariano Sigman.
'A comprehensive toolkit for anyone looking to elevate their communication and improve themselves' – Matt Abrahams, author of Think Faster, Talk Smarter
We have hundreds of conversations every week, offline, online and even in our heads. But have you ever stopped to think about the words you use? The way we describe ourselves and the world around us shapes our decisions, emotions and actions.
Mariano Sigman, the world-leading neuroscientist and bestselling author, shows that conversation is one of the most important tools for positive change, better relationships and improved critical thinking. Drawing on extensive research, he demonstrates that our minds are much more malleable than we think, and even the smallest shifts in our language can transform our habits and our perceptions. By understanding this, we can break free from patterns of limiting beliefs and tackle the disinformation we all face daily.
Offering practical guidance based on the latest psychology and neuroscience, this witty and intelligent book urges us to be open to the possibility of our own fallibility. By embracing conversations as a tool for growth, we can learn to communicate better with others and, most crucially, ourselves, giving us a more rewarding and successful life.
A memoir about thinking and reading, eating and denying your body food, about the relationships that form us and the long tentacles of childhood.
In the household of Sarah Moss's childhood she learnt that the female body and mind were battlegrounds. 1970s austerity and second-wave feminism came together: she must keep herself slim but never be vain, she must be intelligent but never angry, she must be able to cook and sew and make do and mend, but know those skills were frivolous. Clever girls should be ambitious but women must restrain themselves. Women had to stay small.
Years later, her self-control had become dangerous, and Sarah found herself in A&E. The return of her teenage anorexia had become a medical emergency, forcing her to reckon with all that she had denied her hard-working body and furiously turning mind.
My Good Bright Wolf navigates contested memories of girlhood, the chorus of relentless and controlling voices that dogged Sarah’s every thought, and the writing and books in which she could run free. Beautiful, audacious, moving and very funny, this memoir is a remarkable exercise in the way a brain turns on itself, and then finds a way out.
From Sarah Moss, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Summerwater, My Good Bright Wolf is a memoir like no other.

The savvy mother of two, was terrified to leave her husband. Why? She didn’t have the confidence to take on big financial decisions on her own. Despite spending her working hours explaining financial and business concepts, she had allowed her husband to take charge of all their big money decisions — from buying a house and how to finance it to their investments and retirement savings — and had no clue how to do any of it on her own.

Alison simplifies complicated financial topics of investing, car buying and paying down debt, breaking them down into easy to follow steps, with practical tidbits that make each page accessible, digestible and fun.
By the end of What’s Up With Women and Money?, women will not only feel empowered and confident about their finances, but they will also feel ready to take action after being motivated without judgment.
