LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 Placing itself perfectly alongside acclaimed work by Philipp Meyer, Jane Smiley and J M Coetzee, this debut novel charts the story of Roscoe T Martin in rural Alabama in the 1920s. Roscoe has set his sights on a new type of power spreading at the start of the 20th century: electricity. It becomes his training, his life's work. But when his wife Marie inherits her father's failing farm, Roscoe has to give it up, with great cost to his pride and sense of self, his marriage and his family. Realising that he might lose them all, he uses his skills as an electrician to siphon energy from the state, ushering in a period of bounty and happiness on a farm recently falling to ruin. Even the love of Marie and their son seems back within Roscoe's grasp. Then everything changes. A young man is electrocuted on their land. Roscoe is arrested for manslaughter and - no longer an electrician or even a farmer - he must now carve out a place in a violent new world.

n The Pickwick Papers we are introduced not just to one of the greatest writers in the English language, but to some of fiction's most endearing and memorable characters, starting with the 'illustrious, immortal and colossal-minded' Samuel Pickwick himself.

Reform of government, justice and commercial life are imminent, as are rail travel, social convulsion and the death of deference, but Pickwick sails through on a tide of delirious adventure, fortifying us for the future - whatever it might throw at us.

With an Introduction by Dr Richard Serjeantson, Trinity College, Cambridge Since its first publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes''s Leviathan has been recognised as one of the most compelling, and most controversial, works of political philosophy written in English. Forged in the crucible of the civil and religious warfare of the mid-seventeenth century, it proposes a political theory that combines an unequivocal commitment to natural human liberty with the conviction that the sovereign power of government must be exercised absolutely. Leviathan begins from some shockingly naturalistic starting-points: an analysis of human nature as being motivated by vain-glory and pride, and a vision of religion as simply the fear of invisible powers made up by the mind. Yet from these deliberately unpromising elements, Hobbes constructs with unparalleled forcefulness an elaborate, systematic, and comprehensive account of how political society ought to be: ordered, law-bound, peaceful. In Leviathan, Hobbes presents us with a portrait of politics which depicts how a state that is made up of the unified body of all its citizens will be powerful, fruitful, protective of each of its members, and - above all - free from internal violence.

Gazteak dira eleberri honetan protagonista positiboak. Bi ezaugarri biltzen dituzte bere alde: gazte izatea eta artean bizitzeko geratzen zaien bide luzea. Ilusioa eta esperantza. Baita alaitasuna ere. Eta hori guztia, beraientzat, baita Gisele Sergier-rentzat ere, abortatu beharraren pasadizoak une miserable, maltzur eta hipokrita asko ikustera kondenatutako neskarentzat, beraientzat diot, egunero hasten dira bizitzak eta aukera berriak. Marmarrean isildu gabe ari den gizagaixoak -hitz egiten ari den bitartean gutxienez bizirik diharduelako ustean, seguru asko- aldarte umoretsu eta alaia erabili arren, bere jardunaz bestaldera gelditzen zaion mundua melankolia igurtzi batez kutsatzen du maiz: bizitzak egunero gauza jakinak dakarzkio. Bigarren protagonista berritsu horren marmarrean ironiak hartzen du gaina eleberrian: aldi berean da narratzailea behatzaile eta kontalari, aldi berean da zelatari eta murmuratzaile. Horra hor artista modernoaren eredua. Horra hor azken hogeita hamar urte pasatxotan irakurleriari huts egin ez dion eleberri ederra.

This new edition includes a scintillating Introduction and notes that illuminate the historical context. Thomas Keymer provides a splendid introduction and richly explanatory endnotes (co-written with James Kelly Adam Potkay, Recent Studies in the Restoration and Eighteenth Century

Liburu guztiz berezia idatzi du Miren Agur Meabek, Concetta Probanzaren marrazkiz horniturik agertzen den hau. Orain artean, poesian eta gazte literaturan eman ditu bere onenak Meabek, eta lan honetan, berriz, arlo biak uztartu ditu: nobela bat da berez Zer da, ba, maitasuna?, bere baitan poema-liburu bat txertaturik daukana. Nobela bat esan dugu, baina bi direla ere esan liteke. Izan ere, bi pertsona eskatzen ditu maitasunak, bi sentimendu, bi ikuspegi, bat egin dezaketenak... edo ez. Berezi eta Mister X ditugu protagonistak; argazkilaritza eta poesia maite dituen neska da Berezi, sentikorra, amestia, kritikoa; Mister X, berriz, musika-talde batean dabilen mutila, bere zakartxoan bihozbera, umoretsua, solidarioa. Bakoitzak bere istorioa kontatzen digu, eta irakurleak aukera egin dezake: edo neskaren kontakizuna eta gogoetak irakurri aurrena, edo mutilarenak, edo biak tartekatuz joan. Halakoxea da liburuaren itxura ere: bi azal ditu, eta bietako edozeinetatik has liteke irakurketa. Barruan, berriz, amodiozko istorioetan ohi direnak, betikoak baina aldi berean beti berriak diren sentimenduak: desira, samurtasuna, beldurra, jelosia... Bai hitz lauz adierazita, kapituluz kapitulu, baita poemen bidez ere. Hala ere, ez da maitasuna gai bakarra: familiak, gizarteak, adiskidetasunak, naturak edo arteak ere badute beren tokia kontakizunean.
