And if she can't convince brooding legacy student Hudson Graves to help her remember a past that seems determined to slip through her fingers as if by some insidious magic...this time, she may lose herself for good."Draws readers into its spell before asking readers to consider who pays the true price of power-and what it means to refuse to let the powerful win." - Laura R.

Over the course of these hot, dense days, Jay finds himself drawn to Chuan, the son of the farm's manager, different from him in every way except for one.Out in the fields, and on the streets into town, the charge between the boys intensifies. Inside the house, the other family members confront their own regrets, and begin to drift apart. Like the land around them, they are powerless to resist the global forces that threaten to render their lives obsolete.At once sweeping and intimate, The South is a story of what happens when private and public lives collide. It is the first in a quartet of novels that form Tash Aw's masterful portrait of a family navigating a period of great change - a reimagined epic for our times.

Literature for the People

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From internationally renowned, award-winning author Salman Rushdie, a spellbinding exploration of life, death, and what comes into focus at the proverbial eleventh hour of life “An inventive and engrossing collection of stories which, though death-tinged, are never doom-laden. With luck this master writer has more tales to tell.”—Los Angeles Times A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Rushdie turns his extraordinary imagination to life’s final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work—India, England, and America—and feature an unforgettable cast of characters. “In the South” introduces a pair of quarrelsome old men—Junior and Senior—and their private tragedy at a moment of national calamity. In “The Musician of Kahani,” a musical prodigy from the Mumbai neighborhood featured in Midnight’s Children uses her magical gifts to wreak devastation on the wealthy family she marries into. In “Late,” the ghost of a Cambridge don enlists the help of a lonely student to enact revenge upon the tormentor of his lifetime. “Oklahoma” plunges a young writer into a web of deceit and lies as he tries to figure out whether his mentor killed himself or faked his own death. And “The Old Man in the Piazza” is a powerful parable for our times about freedom of speech. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our “eleventh hour” in serenity or in rage? And how do we achieve fulfillment with our lives if we don’t know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

A Parable of Purpose, Leadership, and the Light Within

The Lighthouse Keeper

You followed the rules.
You got the job.
You bought the house.

So why does it feel like you're losing?

For decades, men have been told that stability comes from obedience:

study hard, work late, take on debt, and trust that time will reward you.

But when you step back and look at the math - at the mortgages, the interest, the years traded away - the story doesn't hold.

The Old Money Blueprint is not a finance book in the modern sense.

It doesn't offer hacks, shortcuts, or motivational slogans. It is a long-form argument about how families quietly lose wealth over generations - and how a small number manage to build structures that endure.

Written for fathers and men who feel increasingly alienated by the standard path, this book examines the hidden assumptions behind "normal" life: education, careers, debt, consumption, and the unspoken expectations that shape them.

This book is not about becoming rich quickly.

It is about thinking in decades instead of quarters.

About building systems instead of chasing outcomes.

About accepting short-term difficulty in exchange for long-term freedom.

Some readers will find these ideas clarifying.
Most will find them uncomfortable.

Both are necessary for growth.

The Old Money Blueprint is meant to be read slowly, returned to, and lived with.

For those who recognize themselves in its pages, it becomes less a book about money - and more a blueprint for what kind of ancestor they intend to be.

Rewrite the Script. Build a Dynasty

The Old Money Blueprint

A sweeping, multi-generational novel that traces the fractured bonds between three Iraqi-British sisters In the autumn of 2014, as the Islamic State declares the establishment of a Caliphate in Iraq and Syria, three estranged Iraqi-British sisters are drawn back into each other's orbits through the discovery of their late father's lost paintings. As Mediha, Zainab, and Ishtar each lay claim to his legacy-an inheritance laced with exile, betrayal, and a homeland they no longer recognize-Zainab's son Nizar, a traumatized war correspondent, returns to the family fold. Spanning continents and decades, Floodlines charts the emotional and political aftershocks of the US-led invasion of Iraq. Inspired by Haddad's family history and the artistic legacy of his great uncle Jewad Selim-a key protagonist of Iraqi Modernism-Floodlines is a contemporary Iraqi epic, and explores exile, queerness, and the disruptive legacies of (neo)colonialism in haunting, visceral prose.

"A major new look at Africa's influence on European culture and how colonization remade Africa in the image of a medieval Europe. Virgil. Chaucer. Petrarch. These names resonate with many as cornerstones of European culture. Yet, in Atlas's Bones, D. Vance Smith reveals that much of what is claimed as European culture up to the Middle Ages-its great themes in literature, its sources in political thought, its religious beliefs-originated in the writings of African thinkers like Augustine, Fulgentius, and Martianus Capella, or Europeans who thought extensively about Africa. In fact, a third of Virgil's Aeneid takes place in Africa. Francis Petrarch believed his most important achievement was his epic Africa; while Geoffrey Chaucer wrote repeatedly about the figures of Scipio Africanus, actually two different men who defeated and destroyed Carthage. Smith tells the story of how Europe created a false "medieval" version of Africa to acquire resources and power during the era of imperialism and colonialism. The first half of the book, "Reading Africa," traces Egypt's, Libya's, and Carthage's influence on classical and medieval thinking about Africa, highlighting often ignored literary and legendary traditions, for example, that Alexander the Great named himself the son of an African god. The second part, "Writing Africa," focuses on how the different cultures of the two great African cities-Carthage and Alexandria-shaped medieval literary criticism and political theology and examines the cross-influences of modern anthropology, medieval studies, and colonial law. Atlas's Bones firmly re-establishes the significance of Africa in European intellectual history. It will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how much of Africa informs our artistic and cultural world"--
