'A masterpiece' from the winner of The 2023 Folio Prize

Kretser M: Theory & Practice

Theory & Practice

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice. The sparkling Elizabeth Bennet, the taciturn Fitzwilliam Darcy, and an array of characters that range from irrepressible to almost irredeemable, move through this comedy of manners about the danger of first impressions. Set in a provincial world away from London, Austen's novel pokes fun at the machinations of courtship rituals, while celebrating the importance of friendship and sisterhood. Edited with a new Introduction by Patricia A. Matthew.

Pride and Prejudice

An Awfully Big Adventure

The Margellos World Republic of Letters

From an acclaimed Ukrainian author, snapshots of a city haunted by war &nbsp; The women, men, and children in Serhiy Zhadan's new collection of stories testify to the dignity of daily life in the war-battered Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Through a series of powerful vignettes we witness the ordinary experiences of people in extraordinary times-weddings, love affairs, tense visits home from the battlefield, desperate deliveries of humanitarian aid.Highlighting the upheaval since the 2022 Russian invasion, characters from Zhadan's Mesopotamia and The Orphanage reappear, this time with entirely different concerns: evacuating an elderly woman after the bombardment of a residential area; finding a job for someone who returned from the front with significant disabilities; attending the funeral of a colleague who had led a combat unit on the front lines.These stories, composed shortly before the author joined the Ukrainian armed forces, give voice to the vulnerability of those whose lives have been transformed by war, who have come to accept that death lurks around every corner, in every building, and on every square.

The Visit

From Japan to Vietnam to Amsterdam to the Canary Islands, these three tales by master storyteller Yoko Tawada float between cultures, identities and the dreamwork of the imagination.

Facing the Bridge

The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne

Follet Valley

Saint-Sauver, home to Richard Ainsworth and Valérie d'Orçay's detective agency, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its town twinning with Anglethorp Spa in Lincolnshire. Events are planned, a huge brocante, street parties and the centrepiece, an exhibition boules tournament between the two towns and a team of international boules all-stars. Everything is going well, the sun shines, the wine flows and the entente is very cordiale. Until the mayor turns up dead in an antique dresser having apparently been killed twice. Inevitably Richard and Valérie have very different views on the subject and engage in their own battle: who will solve the crime first?

Unfinished Tales

Meeting the English

From bestselling authors Genki Kawamura and Marie Kondo comes a collection of heartwarming and whimsical short stories, based on Marie's personal experience of tidying over 1,000 rooms. Miko is a professional tidier, with a secret. When she enters a room, she is greeted by the voices of every object inside. Visiting her clients, she finds the whispering wardrobe, filled with chatty clothes; the singing study, full of talkative books; the bickering kitchen with its disgruntled drawers of cutlery, and more. Each item: a book, a childhood toy, a jar of miso paste, evokes a new memory for its owner, and what starts as the simple task of tidying a room becomes something profound and life-affirming. With the help of her talking box, Hako, Miko helps people reconnect to themselves and their loved ones through the items that they find in their rooms. As they sort through their rooms, they discover what is truly important in their lives, and what it takes to spark joy.

Heartwarming and joyful short stories for fans of Japanese fiction from two bestselling authors

Whispering Rooms

An Inspector Chen mystery

Ex-Chief Inspector Chen of the Shanghai Police Bureau investigates the case of a vanished man in this poetic, atmospheric literary mystery set in contemporary Shanghai. Over two million copies of the Inspector Chen series sold worldwide. With the Chinese government's crackdown on private investigators, times are hard for those in the business: Which includes Inspector Chen's good friend Old Hunter. So when one of Shanghai's most successful businesswomen asks Old Hunter to help a man nicknamed X who's been vanished by the government, reason unknown, he accepts the politically dangerous--but extremely well-paid--case, and immediately turns to Chen for help in turn. What crime has the vanished man supposedly committed? Chen plunges in, his investigations soon leading back to the massacre at Tian'anmen Square, when X spoke up against the Party--and Chen did not. And as the inspector uncovers the life of a man whose background and tastes strangely echo his own, he becomes desperate not just to save the mysterious X, but to redeem himself for his own mistakes.
