Rediscover one of the twentieth century's greatest romances in Lawrence Durrell's seductive tale of four tangled lovers in wartime Egypt that is 'stunning' (André Aciman) and 'wonderful' (Elif Shafak) 'A masterpiece.' Guardian 'A formidable, glittering achievement.' TLS 'One of the great works of English fiction. ' Times 'Dazzlingly exuberant ... Superb.' Observer 'Brave and brazen ... Lush and grandiose.' Independent 'Legendary ... Casts a spell ... Reader, watch out!' Guardian 'Lushly beautiful ... One of the most important works of our time.' NYTBR Alexandria, Egypt. Trams, palm trees and watermelon stalls lie honey-bathed in sunlight; in darkened bedrooms, sweaty lovers unfurl. But in a world trembling on the brink of the Second World War, passion and death are inextricable. When Darley, a penniless schoolteacher, begins an affair with Justine - a married Egyptian woman of unparalleled glamour - their partners, Melissa and Nessim, are sucked into a whirlpool of jealousy and violence. One of the twentieth-century's greatest romances, Lawrence Durrell's scandalous 'investigation of modern love' set the world alight in 1957.

What Readers Are Saying - Justine (Book 1): 'Sometimes you discover a new author and know you're going to be friends for life ... One of the most beautiful books I've ever read.' 'I absolutely adored this book ... I felt sucked into it with an amazing force by the beauty of the words ... The backdrop of 1930s Egypt's literary circles and bohemian relationships is mesmerising ... Breathtaking.' 'Shimmering and dreamlike ... One of the most beautifully written books I've read ... All of life is here; can't wait for the next one.' 'Lush, brutal, beautiful ... Durrell captured a place and time that will never exist again.' 'What makes this novel truly spectacular is the language, the episodic jumps in time, the lush lyricism, and how Durrell so deftly manages to tie this all into both the city of Alexandria and the themes of passion, love, and jealousy.

Faber & Faber Spaziergänge durch hundert Jahre Mode
Ein Streifzug durch die Geschichte der Mode von der Gründerzeit bis in die Moderne. Eine Zeitreise durch einhundert Jahre Mode und Lebensstil. Beginnend mit der sogenannten Gründerzeit, als die Städte rasch wuchsen, das Bürgertum selbstbewußter wurde und die Mode sich emanzipierte von einer ehemals Standeskleidung zur individuellen, den eigenen Charakter betonenden Fashion. In Deutschland bekannte Modemagazine und deren Verlage und Redaktionen werden genauer beleuchtet und zu internationalen Entwicklungen ins Verhältnis gesetzt. Hintergründe mit Hilfe vergessen geglaubter Originaldokumente aufgedeckt und manche Legende ins rechte Licht gerückt. In jenen Jahrzehnten, als es noch kein Internet, WLAN, Instagram & Co. gab, galten Designer, Fotografen und Modezeichner noch als die wirklichen Impulsgeber für die jeweiligen Modelaunen. Viele dieser kreativen Persönlichkeiten werden in diesem Buch wieder auferstehen.

Faber & Faber Blankets, Belletristik von Craig Thompson
20. Jubiläumsedition. "Es ist wunderschön geschrieben und gezeichnet, es ist sehr poetisch und sehr romantisch. Ich kann es nur empfehlen." - Elena Favilli. "Berührend, zärtlich, wunderschön gezeichnet, schmerzhaft ehrlich und wahrscheinlich der wichtigste Graphic Novel seit Jimmy Corrigan." - Neil Gaiman. "Blankets ist ein Klassiker in jedem Genre, das es berührt." - Stephen Chbosky, Autor von Das Geheimnis von Green Lake. "Eine der grössten Liebesgeschichten, die je geschrieben wurden, und sicherlich die beste, die je gezeichnet wurde." - Joss Whedon. Eingehüllt in den Schneefall eines stürmischen Winters im Mittleren Westen erzählt Blankets die Geschichte von zwei Brüdern, die in ländlicher Isolation aufwachsen, und von der aufkeimenden Romanze zwischen zwei jungen Liebenden. Eine Geschichte von Sicherheit und Entdeckung, von Verspieltheit und Tragödie, von einem Fall aus der Gnade und den Ursprüngen des Glaubens, ist Blankets ein tiefgründiges und absolut wunderschönes Werk.
TWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION FROM THE WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'Beautifully written' Irish Times 'This is a rich rewarding book.' The Times "We wanted to live in a place that could feed us: where rain falls, crops grow, and drinking water bubbles up right out of the ground." Barbara Kingsolver opens her home to us, as she and her family attempt a year of eating only local food, much of it from their own garden. Inspired by the flavours and culinary arts of a local food culture, they explore many a farmers market and diversified organic farms at home and across the country. With characteristic warmth, Kingsolver shows us how to put food back at the centre of the political and family agenda. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is part memoir, part journalistic investigation, and is full of original recipes that celebrate healthy eating, sustainability and the pleasures of good food.

Simon Gray is determined to give up smoking. Really. At last. Can he kick the habit of sixty years? Will he, sometime soon, be able to leave his house without nervously feeling for his two packets of twenty and his two lighters, and add no more singes to his cardigan? As this wonderful, wayward record of Gray's life progresses, these questions are overtaken by much larger ones. What is that lady on the plane to Athens doing with her nose? What was sex like before 1963? Will his name be in lights on Broadway? Why did he leave the bedside of his dying mother? With their combination of comedy and serious reflection, of sharp observation and painful self-disclosure, Simon Gray's diaries have reinvented the memoir form and are destined to become classics of autobiography.
Thomas Bradshaw and Tonie Swann are experiencing the classic symptoms of marriage in its middle years: comfortable house, happy-enough daughter and an eerie sense that life might be happening elsewhere. Then Tonie accepts a big promotion at work and Thomas agrees to become a stay-at-home dad. While Thomas is suddenly faced with the daily silence of an empty house, Tonie finds herself alive to previously unimagined possibilities. And at the head of the family, the ageing Bradshaw parents continue their marital dynamic of bickering and petty undermining.
WINNER OF THE SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD 'Cusk combines humour and striking emotional honesty.' Financial Times 'Cusk shows a brilliant, and often hilarious funny, aptitude for identifying surreal moments in social interaction.' Evening Standard 'Cusk is a highly interesting, original writer and more unusually she is a joy to read.' The Times Stella Benson sets off for Hilltop, a tiny Sussex village housing a family that is somewhat larger than life. Her hopes for the Maddens may be high, but her station among them, as au pair to their irascible son Martin - is undeniably low. What could possibly have driven her to leave her home, job and life in London for such rural ignominy? Why has she severed all contact with her parents? Why is she so reluctant to talk about her past? The Country Life is a rich and subtle story about embarrassment, awkwardness and being alone; about families, or the lack of them; and about love in some peculiar guises.
