The Times bestseller and winner of the Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect Award and the Bloody Scotland Crime Debut of the Year. 'A masterpiece' - Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal Inspired by a real-life case, Kate Foster's The Maiden is a remarkable story with a feminist revisionist twist, giving a voice to women otherwise silenced by history. In the end, it did not matter what I said at my trial. No one believed me. Edinburgh, October 1679. Lady Christian is arrested and charged with the murder of her lover, James Forrester. News of her imprisonment and subsequent trial is splashed across the broadsides, with headlines that leave little room for doubt: Adulteress. Whore. Murderess. Only a year before, Lady Christian was newly married, leading a life of privilege and respectability. So, what led her to risk everything for an affair? And does that make her guilty of murder? She wasn't the only woman in Forrester's life, and certainly not the only one who might have had cause to wish him dead . . .

Faber & Faber Collected Poems, Belletristik von Wendy Cope
Dieser Band umfasst die vollständigen poetischen Werke einer unserer witzigsten und beliebtesten Schriftstellerinnen und enthält viele zuvor ungesammelte Gedichte. Als 1986 „Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis“ veröffentlicht wurde, wurde Wendy Cope zu einer der seltensten Kreaturen: einer gefeierten Dichterin, die auch ein Bestseller war. Ihre kunstvolle Kombination aus Einsicht und Witz hinterliess einen aussergewöhnlichen Eindruck in Gedichten, die sanft die Selbstgefälligkeit einer literarischen Welt verspotteten, die zuvor von Männern dominiert wurde. Durch vier weitere Sammlungen hat Cope ihre Leser weiterhin erfreut und eine ganz neue Generation von Enthusiasten gefunden, als ihr Gedicht „The Orange“ viral ging. Gemeinsam katalogisieren diese Gedichte die Wünsche und Ängste, die unseren gewöhnlichen Existenzen zugrunde liegen – Liebe und Herzschmerz, Enttäuschung und die hart erkämpfte Fähigkeit, Glück zu finden, selbst wenn es nur in Form eines Gedichts ist. In ihrer tiefen Aufmerksamkeit für und Zusammenfassung des Alltags tragen diese Gedichte dazu bei, unser eigenes Leben bemerkenswerter und einprägsamer zu machen. „Collected Poems“ feiert die Lebensleistung einer Dichterin, die von Anfang an originell und unverwechselbar war, und bietet die perfekte Begleitung zu den Prüfungen, Nöten und Freuden unseres allzu menschlichen Lebens. Diese Sammlung enthält auch die Originalillustrationen von Nick Garland für „The River Girl“. „Wir können Wendys Cope Worte für die Reime lieben, die sie offenbaren, aber auch für die traurigen Wahrheiten, die sie aussprechen.“ - Adam Gopnik, New Yorker „Man muss bis zu Byron zurückgehen, um einen Dichter zu finden, der so konstant witzig, vielseitig und technisch herausragend ist wie Cope.“ - Los Angeles Review of Books „Wir müssen uns nicht wundern über Wendy Copes anhaltende, breite Anziehungskraft. Sie schreibt Gedichte, die die Menschen lesen wollen, und so überleben Gedichte.“ - Literary Review „Witz und Herz? Copes Fans können sicher sein, dass hier genug Juwelen mit beidem vorhanden sind.“ - Telegraph „Wendy Copes wahre Stärke liegt nicht in Charme oder Einsicht (davon hat sie reichlich), sondern in der pitch-perfect Genauigkeit ihres Schreibens.“ - Sunday Times „Ihre Gedichte sind bewegend, einprägsam.“.

Now in his twenties, he's still scrambling to make ends meet and wondering what the hell he's doing with his life. When he meets Huey, he's intimidated . . . and enamored. Huey's strong and confident, he owns his own business-hell, he's friends with rock stars. What could he ever see in Felix? As Huey and Felix get closer, the spark catches and soon they can't get enough of each other. But Huey's worked hard to avoid intimacy, and Felix threatens his carefully constructed defenses.

Bloomsbury presents Fevered Planet by John Vidal, read by John Sackville. A timely and urgent investigation from John Vidal, Environment Editor of the Guardian for nearly thirty years, into how the destruction of nature is releasing disease into our societies 'Urgent, fascinating and essential' GEORGE MONBIOT 'A searing, vital work' BETTANY HUGHES Covid-19, mpox, bird flu, SARS, HIV, AIDS, Ebola; we are living in the Age of Pandemics – one that we have created. As the climate crisis reaches a fever pitch and ecological destruction continues unabated, we are just beginning to reckon with the effects of environmental collapse on our global health. Fevered Planet exposes how the way we farm, what we eat, the places we travel to and the scientific experiments we conduct create the perfect conditions for deadly new diseases to emerge and spread faster and further than ever. Drawing on the latest scientific research and decades of reporting from more than 100 countries, former Guardian environment editor John Vidal takes us into deep, disappearing forests in Gabon and the Congo, valleys scorched by wildfire near Lake Tahoe and our densest, polluted cities to show how closely human, animal and plant diseases are now intertwined with planetary destruction. He calls for an urgent transformation in our relationship with the natural world, and expertly outlines how to make that change possible.

*FROM THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF ENTER GHOST* 'Recognising the Stranger combines intellectual brilliance with moral clarity and profound resoluteness of purpose .' SALLY ROONEY 'A pitch-perfect example of how the novelist can get to the heart of the matter better than a million argumentative articles.

MAX PORTER ‘Hammad’s writing burns with fierce intelligence , humane insight and righteous anger . For those at risk of despair, doubtful of the role literature has to play in times of crisis, it is a reminder of the radical potential of reading and the possibility of change .’ OLIVIA SUDJIC Award-winning author of The Parisian and Enter Ghost Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Lecture at Columbia University nine days before 7 October 2023. The text of Hammad’s seminal speech and her afterword written in the early weeks of 2024 together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what feels like a turning point in the narrative of human history.
