Ez du batere gogorik senar ohia zaintzera joateko, baina alabak hala eskatu dio eta gizonari bizialdi laburra geratzen zaionez, ahalegin txiki bat egin behar luke agian. Liburu honi izenburua ematen dion kontakizun luzeena eta lehendabizikoa da Bihotz handiegia, garai baten amaierari buruz diharduena, maitasunaren hondakinez.Arroztasun sentipena dute Eider Rodriguezen sei ipuinetako pertsonaiek: nolakoa izaten ari da bikote bizitza hau, zein desio ote ditu auzokide perfektuak, nor bihurtu gara sute ikaragarriaren ondoren, ginekologoak erakutsiko al dit nolakoa naizen barrutik, zer espero zuten izango nintzela, norenak dira esku hauek.Konplexuak eta arruntak dira aldi berean hemengo bizilagunak, jarrera ideologikoaren eta irrika eutsiezinaren arteko lehian dabiltzanak batzuetan, zalantzati edo kontraesanean, baina gorabeherei beti aurre egiten.

Ez nuen leihorik ireki behar izan gertatuko zitzaidana ezagutzeko, horixe da eleberriaren lehen perpausa. Martzelinaren bihozkada hori nagusitzen da hasiera-hasieratik; eta nobela zehazki ez dakigun gertakariaren inguruko informazioa antolatzen igaroko da. Baserri giroko trajedia bat da eleberri hau. Indarrean eta afanean oinarritzen den kontakizuna: apostulari baten heriotza du gertaera nagusi. Pertsonaia desberdinen eta ikuspuntu desberdinetan oinarrituz, emakume baten bakardade eta sofrimenduaren ikuspegi sakona eskaini du idazleak. Ikuspuntuaren erabilera erabakigarria gertatzen da. Bernardo Atxagaren Bi Anairekin batera hauxe da 80eko euskal nobelarik lortuena. Sotelo

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An extraordinary insight into life under one of the world's most ruthless and secretive dictatorships - and the story of one woman's terrifying struggle to avoid capture/repatriation and guide her family to freedom. As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee was one of millions trapped by a secretive and brutal communist regime. Her home on the border with China gave her some exposure to the world beyond the confines of the Hermit Kingdom and, as the famine of the 1990s struck, she began to wonder, question and to realise that she had been brainwashed her entire life. Given the repression, poverty and starvation she witnessed surely her country could not be, as she had been told "the best on the planet"? Aged seventeen, she decided to escape North Korea. She could not have imagined that it would be twelve years before she was reunited with her family.

A beautifully moving tale of loss and reaching out to the ones we love, of one man's journey to discover what really matters in modern life. Our narrator's days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor's diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week . . . Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself - and his beloved cat - to the brink. Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared from the World is a story of loss and reconciliation, of one man's journey to discover what really matters in modern life. This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. Fans of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles will also surely love If Cats Disappeared from the World.

Se nasci in Afghanistan, nel posto sbagliato e nel momento sbagliato, può capitare che, anche se sei un bambino alto come una capra, e uno dei migliori a giocare a Buzul-bazi, qualcuno reclami la tua vita. Tuo padre è morto lavorando per un ricco signore, il carico del camion che guidava è andato perduto e tu dovresti esserne il risarcimento. Ecco perché quando bussano alla porta corri a nasconderti. Ma ora stai diventando troppo grande per la buca che tua madre ha scavato vicino alle patate. Così, un giorno, lei ti dice che dovete fare un viaggio. Ti accompagna in Pakistan, ti accarezza i capelli, ti fa promettere che diventerai un uomo per bene e ti lascia solo. Da questo tragico atto di amore hanno inizio la prematura vita adulta di Enaiatollah Akbari e l'incredibile viaggio che lo portera in Italia passando per l'Iran, la Turchia e la Grecia. Un'odissea che lo ha messo in contatto con la miseria e la nobilta degli uomini, e che, nonostante tutto, non è riuscita a fargli perdere l'ironia né a cancellargli dal volto il suo formidabile sorriso. Enaiatollah ha infine trovato un posto dove fermarsi e avere la sua eta.Questa è la sua storia.

In una Sicilia diventata un'immensa rovina, una tredicenne cocciuta e coraggiosa parte alla ricerca del fratellino rapito. Fra campi arsi e boschi misteriosi, ruderi di centri commerciali e citta abbandonate, fra i grandi spazi deserti di un'isola riconquistata dalla natura e selvagge comunita di sopravvissuti, Anna ha come guida il quaderno che le ha lasciato la mamma con le istruzioni per farcela. E giorno dopo giorno scopre che le regole del passato non valgono piú, dovra inventarne di nuove. Con Anna Niccolò Ammaniti ha scritto il suo romanzo piú struggente. Una luce che si accende nel buio e allarga il suo raggio per rivelare le incertezze, gli slanci del cuore e la potenza incontrollabile della vita. Perché, come scopre Anna, la «vita non ci appartiene, ci attraversa».

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best First Book Shortlisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow. Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.
