Rafeyenko V: Signals of Being, or Verbum
Caro Factum Est

Signals of Being, or Verbum Caro Factum Est

A Play in Three Acts

Furious Harvests transports readers to Alex Averbuch's homeland of eastern Ukraine. Amid the bloody destruction brought by Russia's war of aggression, the poet toils in fields of memory, reaping lyrics from family archives and mementos to amass testaments to the complex and painful histories of this place and its peoples. A family tree, letters to home, and the faint scent of a grandmother's dress kept in the back of a closet speak to histories of inter-ethnic violence, WWII forced laborers, and the Holocaust. Mixing dialects, styles, registers, and voices, Furious Harvests-presented in a bilingual edition-defiantly cries out in its rage and longing toward reconciliation of the self and other.

Furious Harvests

Furious Harvests, a collection of striking poetry by Alex Averbuch, explores existential questions that war raises: from the Russian aggression against Ukraine currently taking place in Averbuch's home region of Luhansk, to the events of World War II, including poems that incorporate historical letters of Jewish Holocaust survivors.

Babyn Yar brings together the responses to the tragic events of September 1941. Presented here in the original and in English translation, the poems create a language capable of portraying the suffering and destruction of the Ukrainian Jewish population during the Holocaust as well as other peoples murdered at the site.

Ukrainian Poets Respond

Babyn Yar

A selection of Isaac Babel's 26 most vital and beautiful stories, in acclaimed translations by Boris Dralyuk. "Compact, irreverent, enigmatic, savage and tender... one of the enduring jewels of 20th-century Russian literature." --Financial Times Isaac Babel honed one of the most distinctive styles in all Russian literature. Brashly conversational one moment, dreamily lyrical the next, his stories exult in the richness of everyday speech and sensual pleasure only to be shaken by brutal jolts of violence. Divided into 3 major sections for different phases of Babel's life, these 26 stories take us from the underworld of Babel's native Odessa, city of gangsters and lowlives, of drunken brawls and bleeding sunsets, to the terror and absurdity of life as a soldier in the Polish-Soviet War. What emerges is a poignant mediation on why humanity returns again and again to violence, and an unforgettable portrait of the brutal reality of civil conflict. One of the first major Russian-Jewish writers to write in Russian, Babel was hugely popular during his lifetime. He joined the Red Army as a correspondent during the Russian civil war and was later murdered in Stalin's purges in 1940, at the age of 45. Selected and translated by the prize-winning Boris Dralyuk, this collection captures the irreverence, passion and coarse beauty of Babel's singular voice.

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR When everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice? 'We were so happy and didn't know it...' A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come.The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive.Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.

Confessions of Messy Modern Love

It’s Complicated

The True Meaning of Love is a heartfelt story of love, war and the courage of women in times of hardship. From the billion-copy bestselling author, Danielle Steel. As Russian troops amass on Ukraine's borders and the city of Kyiv swiftly comes under attack, the lives of four very different women change in an instant. Tatyanna, the orphaned young ballerina who dances with the famous ballet school is devastated when her boyfriend and best friend are killed. She must now decide whether to stay and fight, or flee to safety and join a Paris ballet. Yulya, the young wife and mother whose happy, normal life is destroyed by wartime forcing her to leave her husband and elderly parents to flee to another country to keep her children safe. Sasha, the dedicated doctor who risks all to selflessly stay and save lives regardless of politics. And Oxana, the elderly grandmother, too old to leave and devoted to her husband, is determined to stay in their home and care for him while life disintegrates around them. The impact of war on these women and the people they love, and how they face the challenge to keep safe comes down to the true meaning of love . . .

The True Meaning of Love

The rivetingly tense and timely conclusion to the Arkady Renko series - an iconic character from a titan of the political crime thriller genre. When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem. Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky's murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed. Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs - but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line. PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH: 'Does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable' MICK HERRON 'Among the first of a new generation of writers who made thrillers literary' GUARDIAN 'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' VAL McDERMID¿ 'The undisputed master of the political crime thriller' ABIR MUKHERJEE 'One of the finest writers of our age' CHARLOTTE PHILBY&nbsp;

Alas, Babylon

NHB Modern Plays

A moving celebration of the human spirit and a reminder it's never too late to start again. Harold Fry was never meant to be a hero. He was an ordinary man in an ordinary life until a letter from a long-lost friend sends him out the front door...and he keeps on walking. From Devon's quiet lanes to the windswept streets of Berwick-upon-Tweed, his journey becomes a pilgrimage of love, redemption, and second chances. Strangers turn into companions, kindness appears in unexpected places, and the road reveals more than Harold ever imagined. Back home, his wife Maureen begins her own journey, one that might bring them together again. Funny, profound, deeply moving, and uplifting, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is the joyous new musical adapted by Rachel Joyce from her multi-million-selling novel, with "a ravishing score" (The Times) by chart-topping indie musician Passenger.
