One of the coolest literary debuts of the year - sexy, funny and thrillingly provocative

Oloixarac P: Mona / B

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.

Understanding Tort Claims and Illegality

New in paperback: a sharp, stylish satire of a dinner party gone gloriously awry, where the guests have impeccable taste but no social clue at all

Cooking in the Wrong Century

'Every mind-blowing book from Adam Phillips suspends all the certainties we are most attached to and somehow makes this feel exhilarating' Deborah LevyWhat does it mean to 'get a life' in a culture in which there is so much to want?And why do the lives we think we need so often fail to satisfy?With his characteristic curiosity, warmth and perceptiveness, Adam Phillips addresses one of the key perplexities of modern life, which is that we are all the products of the families or social groups we grow up in: they shape us selectively and guide us to their preferred ways of living; but we then spend our lives haunted by the aspects of ourselves that they have ignored.We conform and yet we rebel. So, the lives we want for ourselves are likely to be a difficult mixture of the all too familiar and the experimental. And, necessarily, we all must make things up as we go along.What is to be done? The answer, Adam Phillips suggests, is to pay especially close attention to what interests us, excites us and frightens us; to make an experiment of living; and thereby to discover the life we want - and whether it is viable.'One of the finest prose stylists in the language, an Emerson of our time' John Banville

The Life You Want

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.

Boudoir

Fünf Leben, in denen sich die jüngste europäische Geschichte widerspiegelt

Bosnien Anfang der 90er. Fünf Personen treten vor die Bühne: Zwei Bosniaken, zwei Serben und eine Kroatin. Eindrucksvoll erzählen sie von der Tragik, dem Zauber und den Sehnsüchten in ihrer Heimat. Dabei kreisen ihre Gedanken stets um Familien, um Liebe und ums Überleben. 
"Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last" vereint diese fünf bewegenden Novellen, die von vielschichtigen Lebensschicksalen aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien erzählen. Mit eindringlicher Kraft und sprachlicher Präzision gelingt es Karsten Dümmel, individuelle Erfahrungen von Krieg, Flucht, Verlust und Identität zusammenzuführen und dem Unsagbaren eine Stimme zu geben. Zwischen Zerbrechlichkeit und Widerstandskraft ensteht so ein Raum für Erinnerung und Mitgefühl. Ein Buch, das Brücken schlagen kann und dem Vergessen mutig entgegentritt.

Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last

Palgrave Studies in Sub-National Governance

This open access book examines how local governments in Latin America create public value through innovation and leadership under conditions of institutional constraint, territorial inequality, and limited resources.Integrating a rigorous conceptual framework on public value and public leadership with empirical analysis of municipal case studies across the region, the book offers critical insights into when and how local initiatives generate legitimacy, capacity, and tangible outcomes. Each chapter explores a distinct policy domain, from water management and digital inclusion to care systems and LGBTI+ rights, highlighting both successful and failed interventions. By positioning Latin America as a productive site for theory-building rather than a peripheral context, the book also contributes to global debates on public policy and governance.The book will appeal to scholars and students seeking analytically grounded insights into subnational governance and public sector innovation.Ángeles Ortiz-Espinoza is Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the School of Government and Public Transformation, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico.Pablo de la Peña Sánchez is Director of the Master in Public Administration at the School of Government and Public Transformation, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico.

Public Leadership and Creating Public Value in Latin America

"An astonishing debut as mesmerizing as it is unnerving." --Joyce Carol Oates A day-in-the-life debut novel about a fading socialite on the hunt for someone to kill her before her next SoulCycle class. "A tale of suspense, a statement, a cry for help, and a delicious tour-de-force." --Nell Zink New York City, 2014. Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend. As she Ubers from Upper East Side shopping to Craigslist gun deals, Agnes' desperation becomes an exhibition, a swan song of millennial sexuality as internalized abuse and consummate style, with the knob righty-tightened all the way. Newton's prose is disturbingly fun, relentless, shattering. A crafted study of existential despair that culminates in a worthy, intense denouement.

Agnes Lives!

PREMIO CLARÍN DE NOVELA «Una novela actual y misteriosa, en la tradición del weird y con citas a Arthur Machen, Lovecraft o Chambers, con algo de terror ecológico y una notable reconstrucción histórica'. -Mariana Enriquez Hay algo vivo e inclasificable que recorre el planeta Tierra desde su creación y parece capaz de sobrevivirlo. Se extiende bajo la superficie y emerge como una planta fantástica, en múltiples sentidos. De ella darán testimonio los distintos narradores de la novela -cuyas voces se escuchan en 1504, 1888, 1945- y el arco temporal de un futuro que solo la literatura puede imaginar. Una y otra vez, mientras la humanidad crece y se piensa, el bionte, este organismo que aterra pero que también refugia, será un espejo del devenir histórico bajo el horror de su idea de progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE &gt;There is something alive and unclassifiable that has coursed through planet Earth since its creation--and seems capable of outliving it. It spreads beneath the surface and emerges like a fantastic plant, in every sense of the word. Its existence is recounted by the novel's different narrators--voices that speak from 1504, 1888, and 1945--and through the temporal arc of a future that only literature can imagine. Time and again, as humanity grows and reflects upon itself, the biont--this organism that both terrifies and shelters--becomes a mirror of historical evolution, shadowed by the horror of its own idea of progress.

In this book, José Rente Nascimento explores the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dynamics of the Amazon. The book weaves five centuries of transformation, highlighting geographical conditions, Amerindian resource stewardship, the rubber boom, postcolonial policies, and today’s development pressures. Spanning infrastructure, mining, ranching, and agricultural expansion, the book analyzes Amazonian challenges within their historical context.
Drawing on lessons from both failed policies and successful initiatives, Nascimento addresses urgent contemporary issues, including deforestation, indigenous welfare, land tenure, forest-based development, and the complex balance between environmental protection and sustainable growth.
More than a historical account, this book presents a conceptual framework that links past trajectories to present challenges, providing an essential and inspiring resource for students, policymakers, researchers, and all those seeking to learn from Amazonia’s history to secure its sustainable future.

An Economic, Environmental, and Social History

The Amazonian Odyssey

'A comedy about tragedy. Séamas O'Reilly has written a brutal, profound, and very funny novel' NINA STIBBE 'Prestige Drama is bristlingly funny, richly humane . . . Séamas O'Reilly is a writer with a rare and vital comic gift' MARK O'CONNELL 'Séamas is one of my favourite living writers. Honestly - there is nobody else who could write a book like this about tragedy, loss and who gets to tell a story, with such deft and moving wit' EVA WISEMAN Derry is already abuzz with news that famous American actor, Monica Logue, has flown to the city and will be starring in a new series set during the Troubles. And then she goes missing . . . All eyes are on Diarmuid, the flaky scriptwriter who was the last to see Monica alive. From budding young actors hoping for a role to grieving parent whose story forms the backbone of the narrative; newspaper editors covering the mystery to taxi drivers hearing all the news from their clients, Prestige Drama follows the city's cast as they all try to locate themselves in Monica's disappearance. Séamas O'Reilly's debut novel is a comedy about dramatising tragedy, and the responsibilities of a teller to a tale. It brings to life the voices of a city, the people, families and communities who find themselves obsessed with, and terrified of, interrogating their past.

Prestige Drama

In the late 1990s, Dublin, Ireland, emerged as a burgeoning hub for technology and innovation, positioning itself as Europe's Silicon Valley. Amid this dynamic environment, three professionals from Brazil, Peru, and Portugal found themselves at the forefront of the rapidly evolving localization industry. Three Amigos and a Global Revolution chronicles the evolution of this industry over three transformative decades. From the manual processes of the floppy disk era to the advent of AI-powered, real-time content creation, this book offers a comprehensive look at the technological advancements and collaborative efforts that have redefined globalization. Combining industry insights with a historical perspective, it highlights the resilience, innovation, and strategic collaboration that have shaped the localization landscape into a cornerstone of today's global economy.

Three Amigos and a Global Revolution

Ein virtuoser Ritt durch die Geschichte und die Genres - ein grandioses Epos. Jetzt endlich wieder erhältlich.

Die Meckels gelten als 'die Bachs der Medizingeschichte'. Johann Friedrich Meckel der Jüngere (1781 bis 1833), ein Vorreiter von Charles Darwin, ist die Hauptfigur dieses Romans, der von seinem Halbbruder Albrecht August erzählt wird. Beide sind Anatomen und dem ebenfalls detailversessenen Dichtergenie Jean Paul verbunden. 1813 nehmen sie an den Befreiungskriegen teil und sind in eine Mordintrige verwickelt, wegen der sie 1814 nach Neapel entweichen und dort vieler Rätsel Lösung näherkommen.
Albrecht trifft in diesem Roman Lützow und sein Freikorps, den Turnvater Jahn, Theodor Körner, aber auch seine Schicksalsliebe, die 'Potsdamer Jeanne d`Arc' Eleonore Prochaska. Es treten weiter auf: E. T. A. Hoffmann und Fouqué, der Maler Ingres, der 'Einstein des 19. Jahrhunderts' Georges Cuvier, Joachim Murat, König, Reitermarschall und Schwager Napoleons - und nicht zuletzt Napoleon selbst. Treuer Begleiter des Erzählers ist sein versoffener russischer Gaul Jean Paul.
Grandiose Pläne und die skurrilen Misslichkeiten großer Tatkraft in wirren Zeiten verknäulen sich auf ebenso tragische wie komische Weisen. Virtuos und voller Schalk mischt Wilhelm Bartsch auch Zutaten aus Kriminalgroteske und Gothic Novel, aus Liebes-, Heimat- und Kriegsroman zu einem grandiosen Epos.
