"Diário de um feio recém-divorciado" é a narrativa engraçada, ácida e, ao mesmo tempo, sensível de um divórcio. Claro, de um divórcio visto pelos olhos de um homem que tenta sobreviver ao maior cataclismo de sua vida com a ajuda pouco confiavel dos amigos e um bom senso de humor, mas amor... Infelizmente, e muito dificil escapar do amor.

Todays computer scientists play the same role as the oracles of the ancient world and the astrologers of the Middle Ages. Modern predictions not only advise on war, crop output, and marriages, but algorithms and statisticians also now determine whether we can get a loan, a job, an apartment, or an organ transplant. And when we cede ground to these predictions, we lose control of our own lives.In this powerful, refreshing new look at the many ways prediction shapes our everyday lives, University of Oxford professor Carissa Veliz explains how putting too much stock in others predictions makes us vulnerable to charlatans, con artists, dubious technology, and self-deception. Examining a wide range of subjects both personal and societal, including medicine, climate, technology, society, and others, Veliz uncovers a number of insights: predictions about humans tend to be self-fulfilling; more data doesnt guarantee better outcomes; AI is more likely to increase risk than decrease it; and a free and robust society requires not more prediction, but better preparation.Veliz argues in this incisive and bracingly original book that the main promise of prediction is not knowledge of the future, but rather power over others. Prophecy is an invitation to defy those orders and live life on our own terms.

A powerful debut compelled by questions of borders and displacement. In one story I stay in that city forever, in one I board, and in another I am still waiting.I am daybreak; I am everywhere.In The Tree Is Missing, Shannon Kuta Kelly explores the poetics of the border. The collection crosses through non-places, moving between the unnamed and unmapped spaces on the edges of the European city. With remarkable poise and restraint, these itinerant poems experiment with oral history and translation, traversing the borderlines of nation, language and time. They draw on folklore to evoke a world that feels current and present, but which can only be reached through storytelling. In doing so, Kuta Kelly explores the loss and displacement - the fracture of identity - necessitated by personal and political turmoil. She writes with a restless immediacy from within the histories that continue to shape us.

FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHORLeila Slimani has a knack for breaking taboos.TIMESSlimani is a fearless writer.EVENING STANDARD Q: If your house was burning down, what would you take with you?A: Id take the fire.This is the story of two sisters, Mia and Ines. Two girls enveloped in love, trapped by the social conventions of Casablanca at the dawn of the twenty-first century and silenced by the political truths that envelop their lives.Mia - the eldest, a warrior and a pariah, her sexuality a matter of scorn, something to be erased.Ines - the youngest, a woman trying to carve out an identity in a Paris that derides and erases her, with no way back to Morocco, a homeland to which her father has warned her never to return, for her own sake.As these sisters struggle to find a home - a place of safety and love that holds rather than binds - their lives as framed by their mothers and grandmothers before them will be a battle for their hearts and souls, and one they take on with every sinew of their being.We feel deeply for the family caught in the middle of the conflict of history. SALMAN RUSHDIE, on The Country of Others

Olá! Que bom te encontrar por aqui... de verdade. Abrir este livro é como aceitar um convite para sentar comigo, tomar um café quentinho... sabe aquele cheirinho reconfortante que preenche o ambiente? E um pouco disso que sinto ao te receber nestas paginas. A gente vai conversar sobre algo que, para muita gente, soa como um misterio intrigante, ou ate mesmo um peso no coraço: o Apocalipse. Por tanto tempo, essa palavra sozinha gerou medo, vises de caos... confesso que, la atras, eu sentia um arrepiozinho so de pensar nisso. Era um livro selado, profundo demais, complexo, cheio de simbolos que pareciam impossiveis de decifrar. Tipo aquelas caixas antigas, cheias de segredos que a gente no sabe por onde começar. Mas, veja bem... o convite deste livro e outro. No e sobre o fim pelo fim. E a Revelaço de Jesus Cristo. E sobre o desdobrar definitivo do plano de Deus, o ultimo capitulo da criaço. E e com essa lente que vamos olhar, com um cuidado meticuloso, buscando cada peça desse mosaico impressionante. Nossa jornada no vai ser uma linha reta e entediante, pode ter certeza. Vamos parar, refletir, talvez dar um passo para tras para entender algo melhor... como numa conversa boa, que flui, que tem suas pausas e seus momentos mais intensos. A gente vai passear pela sala do trono celestial, que e de uma gloria massiva, quase luxuosa no sentido mais puro e santo da palavra (longe de qualquer coisa decadente, claro!).

A masterclass in atmospheric suspense and domestic uneaseIt begins as an ordinary day of frayed nerves and suburban fractiousness. Following a sharp argument with his wife, Graham sets out across London with his young daughter, Jasmine. It is a journey born of a need for space on the surface, a simple drive to clear the air.But as they move through the city, the familiar begins to feel inexplicably foreign.The motorways are tightening. The air is changing. On every screen, in every shop window, a recurring image of a remote island haunts the broadcast an image that pulls Graham back toward a childhood he has tried to outrun.As the horizon darkens and the path home becomes increasingly uncertain, Graham is forced to navigate the shifting boundary between a fathers protective instinct and a world that is rapidly losing its grip on the known.The Island is a devastatingly controlled novella from one of the UKs finest poets. It is a story of what remains when the structures of the everyday fall away: the memories we cannot escape, and the desperate, quiet love between a father and his child.

Cyrus Pemberton, following in the footsteps of Oscar Wilde, dared to write of his love for another man. Imprisoned in the house by his brother in 1905, the question remains: was his missing poetry hidden or destroyed?Dr. Anton Smythe, noted Cambridge literary scholar, is also keen to track down the lost work, but not keen to work with this young American upstart. He fights to resist his attraction to Braeden, only to discover that the attraction is mutual. Though they strive to remain professional, nights alone in the decrepit manor house ignite passions the two men cannot ignore. Will they discover lasting love alongside the missing verses of the Ode to Love?
