An exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.From the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Normal People, an exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties - successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death, he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women - his enduring first love Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude - a period of desire, despair and possibility - a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Fatou etorkina da, hainbat herrialdetan bizi izan dena Londresera joan aurretik. Neskame ari da etxe batean lanean. Bere aisialdiko denbora igeriketaren eta bere lagun Andrewrekin dituen hitzorduen artean banatzen du. Hainbat gairi buruzko elkarrizketak ditu harekin: erlijioa, arrazakeria Itxura ahulekoa bada ere, oztopoen aurrean hautsi ez den emakumea da Fatou; egokitu zaion patuari amore emanda, ez du inoiz lasaitasuna galtzen.Hemen agertzen diren elementu asko etengabeak dira Zadie Smithen obran; hitz bakoitza, esamolde bakoitza, pasadizo bakoitza arrazoi batengatik dago hor, ezer ez da kasualitatea. Egileak emakume etorkinen egoeraren zati bat jasotzen du Fatouren begietatik egindako kontakizun original honetan. Bere errutinak bere askatasunaren mugak eta bere etorkizunaren ezegonkortasuna ulertzen laguntzen digu. Era berean, esklabotza modernoari eta gizarte-desberdintasunei buruz hausnartzera behartzen gaitu. Zadie Smithen obran sartzeko atari paregabea.

Ez da normala izango, esan zion medikuak haurrak urtebete zuenean. Jaio aurretik, ordea, Amak jakin bazekien barruan zeraman haurra ez zela besteak bezalakoa izango. Amak alaba etxean isolatu zuen, eta herritarren txutxu-mutxuak areagotu egin ziren. Hain zen estua bien arteko harremana, beste alaba baten jaiotzak ez baitzuen hori haustea lortu.Etxe heze eta ilunean sustraituko dira hiru emakumeak, asinkronia batean; bizilagunen usteak inguratuta, sufrikario eta errezoen artean, patu ankerrari begira. Etxe horretan ez dira, inolaz ere, hain erraz ustelduko sekretuak.Emakumeen sufrimendua, osasun mentala eta familiarteko dinamikak ardatz ditu Puntobobo eleberriak. Itxaso Martinek ez du eufemismorik erabiltzen; estilo intimista eta soil batez idatzi du istorio honen errealitate gordina. Ez da eleberri kostunbrista bat, protagonisten psikologian sakonduz idazleak ateratako argazki gardena baizik.

Juanita i Fabio són dos adolescents, fills d'emigrants. Viuen i estudien a Brooklyn i un dia decideixen faltar a l'institut i anar a passar la jornada a Manhattan. El que comença com a diversió es converteix en un malson quan son confosos amb uns delinquents i es veuen obligats a fugir i amagar-se. No tindran cap altra ajuda que la d'uns altres adolescents, emigrants clandestins que malviuen escapant de la policia i de les bandes rivals. La crua realitat els fara questionar-se la lletra de la canço "Imagine" de John Lennon. ¿Son ells uns somiadors per creure que un dia el mon sera unic, que no hi haura ni cobdicia ni fam i que es viura en pau?

Jabier Muguruzaren testuak lehen pertsonako kontakizun intimo eta ironikoa eskaintzen du, kafetegi baten egunerokotasunetik abiatuta. Narratzaileak bere ibilbide pertsonala eta profesionala azaltzen ditu, musikari izatetik kamarero izatera egin duen bidea, tonu konfidentzial eta autoironiatsuan. Idazkerak deskribapen zehatzak eta gogoeta filosofikoak uztartzen ditu, jazzaren inguruko pasio pertsonaletik gizartearen bilakaeraren analisi kritikoraino. Pertsonaien erretratuak biziak eta sinesgarriak dira, elkarrizketa natural eta umoretsuen bidez marraztuak, eta horrek errealismo handia ematen dio narrazioari. Cafe Mokka kafetegia behatoki soziokultural bilakatzen da, non bezeroen elkarrizketek eta eguneroko egoerek gizartearen kontraesanak, joerak eta aldaketak islatzen dituzten. Testuak nostalgia eta egunerokotasunaren edertasuna uztartzen ditu, baina aldi berean kritika zorrotza egiten dio gaur egungo gizartearen infantilizazioari eta harreman sozialen azalekotasunari. Lanak freskotasun narratiboa eta sakontasun intelektuala uztartzen ditu modu originalean.

From the inimitable Rabih Alameddine - National Book Award finalist and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award - comes a tragicomic saga set in Lebanon, a modern story of family, memory, and the unbreakable (and insane) attachment of a son and his mother.In a tiny Beirut apartment, sixty-three-year-old Raja and his mother live side by side. A beloved high school philosophy teacher and 'the neighborhood homosexual,' Raja relishes books, meditative walks, order, and solitude. Zalfa, his octogenarian mother, views her son's privacy as a personal affront. She craves nothing more than to know the ins and outs of Raja's work life and love life, boundaries be damned.When Raja receives an invite to an all-expenses-paid writing residency in America, the timing couldn't be better. It arrives on the heels of a series of personal and national disasters that have left Raja itching for peace and quiet away from his mother and the heartache of Lebanon. But what at first seems a stroke of good fortune soon leads Raja to recount and relive the very disasters and past betrayals he wishes to leave behind.Wickedly funny, heartbreaking, and told in Raja's irresistible voice, The True, True Story of Raja the Gullible dances across six decades to tell the unforgettable story of a singular life and its absurdities - a tale of mistakes, self-discovery, trauma, and maybe even forgiveness. Above all, it's a wild and sparkling celebration of love.
