Credit Comeback

A Step-by-Step Plan for Rebuilding Your Credit After Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy - Choosing a Secured Card

“Now offered in translation for the first time, this collection featuring women navigating societal expectations (and their small rebellions) is a classic.”&nbsp;—&nbsp;Boston GlobeA spiky, edgy collection of five sly yet sensitive stories spotlighting clear-eyed and “difficult” women who are navigating their identities as workers and women in contemporary Japan—a feminist, anti-capitalist modern classic published outside Asia and in English for the first time.The Dilemmas of Working Women is Fumio Yamamoto’s darkly witty look at modern Japanese women who are ambivalent about their lives and jobs. In “Naked,” a woman who’s simultaneously lost her business and her husband finds that it is surprisingly comfortable to stay at home sewing stuffed animals, even if it makes her a “loser” in the eyes of society. In “Planarian,” a young woman recovering from breast cancer tells her friends and boyfriend that she would prefer to be the titular worm to organically regenerate her body. Each of these spiky women—as well as the three other protagonists in this groundbreaking work—chafes against social expectations that equate work with worth and demand women squeeze into the confining and sometimes dehumanizing role of employee in a world built by and for men.First published in Japan in 2000, The Dilemmas of Working Women struck a nerve with Japanese readers and became a bestselling literary sensation, selling nearly half a million copies and winning the prestigious Naoki Prize in Literature. A quarter of a century later, this brilliant modern classic—available for the first time outside Asia and in English—remains deliciously funny and astonishingly relevant.Translated from the Japanese by Brian Bergstrom

The Dilemmas of Working Women

Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today it's stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks.How to get a better night's sleep in 3 weeks:<ul><li>Don't believe everything you read or hear about sleep</li><li>Let go of the 8-hour rule</li><li>Use the simple sleep diary in the back of this book to record your sleep pattern over 3 weeks</li><li>Discover your personal sleep needs</li><li>Examine your attitude towards lying awake at night</li><li>Shorter total bed times might be better</li><li>Focus on the reason for lying awake rather than on the reason for not sleeping</li><li>Reduce stress</li><li>Keep regular bedtimes</li><li>Follow the rules of nature</li><li>Respect your personal circadian rhythm</li><li>Don't tempt the night-time ghosts</li></ul>Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. It's not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour.Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it.

How to Sleep Like a Caveman

A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2024Also available in audio featuring narration by Colman Domingo, Rachel Weisz, and Michael Cera.“Instantly fascinating, brimming with twisting narratives and unforgettable endings…&nbsp;The Last Dream&nbsp;stands alone as a major literary talent’s virtuosic debut.” —Kaveh&nbsp;Akbar, New York Times bestselling author of&nbsp;Martyr!“[A] real page turner.” —John WatersMaking his English language debut, the iconoclastic, two-time Academy award-winning writer and director reveals his singular mind as never before in this&nbsp;collection of twelve remarkable stories spanning memoir, comedy, autofiction, parody, pastiche, and gothic fiction.With this debut collection, film legend Pedro Almodóvar delivers a tantalizing glimpse into his world, formed by twelve stories carefully selected from his personal writings dating from the late ‘60s to the present. Almodóvar writes: “I’ve been asked to write my autobiography more than once, and I’ve always refused. . . . I’ve never kept a diary, and whenever I’ve tried, I’ve never made it to page two; in a sense, then, this book represents something of a paradox. It might be best described as a fragmentary autobiography, incomplete and a little enigmatic.”Each entry reflects Almodóvar's most intimate obsessions, as well as his evolution as an artist. In the title story, “The Last Dream,” Almodóvar reflects on the death of his mother. Other entries in the collection include a love story between Jesus and Barabbas,&nbsp;a story of retribution that formed the basis for the film Bad Education, a manic adventure about a film director searching for painkillers on a bank holiday weekend, and a gothic tale centered around a repentant vampire.Translated from the Spanish by Frank Wynne

The Last Dream

“The essay has taught me how to live,” writes Jia Tolentino, this year’s Best American Essays guest editor. In a time of escalating authoritarianism and disinformation, we turn to artists and writers to make sense of the world around us. The twenty-one authors featured in this collection do not proselytize, nor do they claim to have all the answers. Instead, they teach with vulnerability, raw truths, and open questions. This volume offers testimonies and personal narratives about war and fear; oblivion and memory; disease, grief, and boredom; nonhuman animals and plants; poverty and hyperabundance; consciousness and solipsism; the loss of literature and the work of art; pretense and respect.THE BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS 2025 INCLUDES: ALEXIS PAULINE GUMBS • SARAH AZIZA • JOHN JEREMIAH SULLIVAN • CAROLYN FORCHÉ • MOSAB ABU TOHA • CHRISTIAN LORENTZEN • WILLIAM DERESIEWICZ • CHRISTINA SHARPE • AND OTHERS

Wicked Years

The #1 New York Times bestseller and basis for the smash hit musical and two major motion pictures. Look for part one of WICKED the movie, now streaming, and the stunning conclusion WICKED: FOR GOODWith millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire's Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a work of classic fantasy literature to revisit for years to come. This iconic Oz retelling relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film. In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, the origin story of another little girl begins. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin-no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens.But in this Oz of deep moral ambiguity, Elphaba's world is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals-those creatures with voices, souls, and minds-are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals-even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, this revisionist fairy tale has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name-one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel's distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire's Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch. "Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It's an astonishing achievement." -Phillip Pullman"Gregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well."- Kristen Chenoweth"It's a staggering feat of wordcraft, made no less so by the fact that its boundaries were set decades ago by somebody else. Maguire's larger triumph here is twofold: First, in Elphaba, he has created (re-created? renovated?) one of the great heroines in fantasy literature: a fiery, passionate, unforgettable and ultimately tragic figure. Second, Wicked is the best fantasy novel of ideas I've read since Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast or Frank Herbert's Dune. Would that all books with this much innate consumer appeal were also this good. And vice versa." -Los Angeles Times

Murder in Mesopotamia

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick"Moby-Dick is a book you come back to, again and again, to find new treasures and delights, a storehouse of language, incident and strange wisdom." - The GuardianIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. Moby Dick is the extraordinary story of Captain Ahab's all-consuming hunt for the leviathan Moby Dick, an epic tale of adventure, free will, and man vs. nature, beginning with one of the most memorable opening lines in literary history: "Call me Ishmael."Thus begins a famous journey-the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod and its embattled, monomaniacal Captain Ahab. Ishmael quickly learns that the Pequod's captain sails for revenge against the elusive Moby Dick, a sperm whale with a snow-white hump and mottled skin that destroyed Ahab's former vessel and left him crippled. As the Pequod sails deeper through the nights and into the sea, the divisions between man and nature begin to blur-so do the lines between good and evil, as the fates of the ship's crewmen become increasingly unclear....Melville's classic tale of obsession and the sea, one of the most important and enduring masterworks of nineteenth-century literature is a riveting drama, exploring rage, hope, destiny, and the deepest questions of moral truth.<ul> <li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li> <li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li> <li>AMERICA'S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters. Our books enrich, challenge, and defined the American spirit.</li> <li>AMERICA 250: The HarperCollins American Classics arrive in time for America's 250th anniversary celebrations. </li></ul>
