Under the searing sun, secrets simmer and betrayal lies thick in this claustrophobic, explosive new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Richard &amp; Judy Book Club pick, Lie With Me.'Gloriously dark and wildly engrossing' LISA JEWELL 'Dripping with suspense' LUCY CLARKE 'Completely blew me away.

Dead Heat

Martin Parr puts the world to rights in this comprehensive catalogue of five decades of his photographs, published to accompany a major exhibition at Jeu de Paume in Paris 

 

For over fifty years Martin Parr has photographed the absurdities of the contemporary world, from the frenzy of over-consumption and the ravages of mass tourism to humanity’s increasing reliance on technology and our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.

 

By turns critical, satirical, surprising, and funny, Global Warning is published in association with Jeu de Paume to accompany a new major exhibition of Parr’s photography at the arts centre in Paris in January – May 2026.

 

Richly illustrated with more than 175 of his photographs, from his early black-and-white work in the raucous holiday parks and sleepy supermarkets of rural England to his more recent colour photography of bustling tourist attractions and must-see destinations from across the globe, Global Warning offers a reinterpretation of Martin Parr’s work and position in a time of widespread global disorder.

 

Featuring a tone-setting introduction by Quentin Bajac, director of Jeu de Paume, four further essays by Jean-François Staszak, Roberta Sassatelli, Violette Pouillard, and Adam Greenfield, experts in the fields of geography, sociology, wildlife conservation and urban design, put the selection of works into context and explore the important topics that seem immediately relevant to our everyday lives.

 

Showcasing many of Parr’s most renowned images alongside rarely published hidden gems, Global Warning presents more than five decades of incisive visual commentary from one of the world’s most celebrated photographers.

Heavenfield

Eine französische Kleinstadt an der Nordsee, an der Grenze zu Belgien. Hier wächst die 'kleine Faschistin', wie Francesca zu Hause liebevoll genannt wird, zwischen Schießstand und rechtsintellektuellen Klassikern auf. Das hält sie jedoch nicht davon ab, ihrer Kindheitsliebe Jugurtha die Treue zu halten, dem Sohn eines kabylischen Kommunisten - bis dieser mit vierzehn ermordet am Strand gefunden wird. Von nun an gibt es für Francesca nur noch ihren großen Bruder Nils, ihr Idol, dem sie begeistert in den identitären Schlägertrupp der 'Löwen von Flandern' folgt. Doch auch Nils wird bald nicht mehr am Leben sein.
Als Francesca zwanzig ist, steht Frankreich vor dem Zerfall: 'Der Verrückte' im Élysée löst immer wieder die Nationalversammlung auf, der Patriotische Block rückt der Regierungsübernahme näher, die Technokraten an der Macht werden der Gewalt im Land nicht Herr. In der Kleinstadt am Meer soll der altgediente Mitte-Links-Politiker Bonneval erneut für den Wahlkreis antreten. Die&nbsp;'Tarantel', die im linken Lager die Strippen zieht, sieht in ihm einen Hoffnungsträger für stabilere Verhältnisse - Bonneval aber flieht vor allem vor seiner Midlife-Crisis.
Francesca bricht zusammen, als sie auf ein lang gehütetes Geheimnis stößt. Kurz darauf trifft sie auf Bonneval, und beide entflammen in einer unwahrscheinlichen Leidenschaft. Doch auch die Liebe wird die Republik nicht retten ...

Die kleine Faschistin

Shakespeare Retold

Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is brilliantly reinvented by Howard Jacobson, in his merciless, sharp and funny story of revenge, justice and antisemitism. With an absent wife and a daughter going off the rails, wealthy art collector and philanthropist Simon Strulovitch is in need of someone to talk to. So when he meets Shylock at a cemetery in Cheshire's Golden Triangle, he invites him back to his house. It's the beginning of a remarkable friendship...Howard Jacobson's version of The Merchant of Venice bends time to its own advantage as it asks what it means to be a father, a Jew and a merciful human being in the modern world.'Inspired...It does what any good literary subversion should do: deepens and enhances one's appreciation of the original' Guardian'Jacobson's prose has the sort of elastic precision you only get from a writer who is truly in command... There's also deep and sincere soul-searching going on here' IndependentSHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.

The Merchant of Venice, Retold

Shylock is My Name

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

Ordinary Days and Tender Places

Hazel Rae Nilsen is 24 years old and has been handed her first management job at AtlasAir Custom Fans, a struggling factory where the problems are stacking up faster than she can name them. She has no leadership training, no real plan, and a workforce that isn't sure she belongs in charge. She's not sure, either.When the company's new General Manager arrives to turn the operation around, Hazel gets something she didn't expect: a mentor who is direct, competent, and willing to invest in her. Through a series of increasingly difficult situations - a firing gone sideways, a toxic employee, a safety incident, a factory-wide crisis - Hazel learns what it means to be effective as a leader. Hazel: An Emerging Leader is a business novel that teaches through story. Written by business school professors, each chapter weaves management and leadership concepts directly into the narrative, grounding research-backed concepts and frameworks (e.g., goal setting, organizational trust, leader character, progressive discipline, employee motivation) in workplace situations. Readers see Hazel make mistakes, recover, and gradually build the competence, confidence, and character that define a good leader.Designed for managers navigating a tricky leadership role, students in business and management programs, and anyone who has ever felt underqualified for a job working with people, this book offers foundational lessons for anyone wanting to improve their ability to lead. Discussion questions follow most chapters to help readers think through every core idea (especially helpful for a work-based book club).Leading people effectively is a surprisingly difficult task - even people with good intentions often get it wrong. This book offers a birds-eye view into how to do it well. You can learn from Hazel's mistakes.

David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting. A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable. This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades. His final destination is Zurich. David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life.
