The Three-Body Problem

Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon - soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones. 
1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind.

Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.

This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

Routledge Handbook of Japanese Security

Oscar-winning writer Steve Tesich masterfully creates and destroys the sad, mad world of Saul Karoo. Karoo is an alcoholic who can't get drunk, a loving father who can't bear to be alone with his son, a fixer of film scripts who admits that he ruins every one of them. Calamity and comedy accompany Saul on his odyssey through sex, death and showbusiness as he seeks to 'fix' both a master director's greatest film and his own broken life at the same time.

Von Edouard Manets Porträt des Schriftstellers Émile Zola, der inmitten seiner japanischen Kunstfunde hockt, bis hin zu Van Goghs akribisch gesammelten Hiroshige-Drucken – Pioniere der europäischen Moderne machten im 19. Jahrhundert kein Geheimnis aus ihrer Liebe zur japanischen Kunst. In all seiner sprudelnden Sinnlichkeit und Freizügigkeit schreibt man den Trend des Japonismus allein dem Holzschnitt zu, der zunächst Frankreich und später ganz Europa in seinen Bann zog – oft missverstandene, "exotische" Artefakte, die der westlichen Kreativität als Inspiration dienten.
 
 Tatsache ist, dass der japanische Holzschnitt ein Phänomen darstellt, zu dem es kein westliches Äquivalent gibt. Einige wegweisende Ideen der Moderne – darunter Karl Marx’ Diktum, dass "alles, was fest ist, sich in der Luft auflöst" – wurden im Japan des 17. Jahrhunderts entwickelt und im frühen 19. Jahrhundert erstmals in den Werken von Meistern wie Hokusai, Utamaro und Hiroshige zum Ausdruck gebracht.
 
 Dieses Buch lüftet den Schleier dieser beliebten, aber wenig verstandenen Kunstform und präsentiert die außergewöhnlichsten japanischen Holzschnitte in ihrem historischen Kontext. Die hier versammelten Werke reichen von den Anfängen über den Höhepunkt der Entwicklung im Ukiyo-e, den "Bildern der schwebenden Welt", im 17. Jahrhundert bis zum Niedergang und späteren Wiederaufleben der Drucke im frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Dokumentiert wird nicht nur ein einzigartiges Genre der Kunstgeschichte, sondern auch die sich wandelnden Sitten und die kulturelle Entwicklung Japans.
 
 Wir entdecken die vier Säulen des Holzschnitts – Schönheiten, Schauspieler, Landschaften sowie Vogel- und Blumenkompositionen – neben Darstellungen von Sumo-Ringern, Kabuki-Schauspielern oder Edelkurtisanen – Popstars, welche die "schwebende Welt" bevölkerten und deren wachsende Anhängerschaft die explosive Produktion der Holzschnitte beflügelte. Wir tauchen ein in bedrohlich-obskure Szenen, in denen Dämonen und Geister Angst und Schrecken verbreiten und die japanische Mangas, Filme und Videospiele bis heute beeinflussen. Wir erleben, wie technische Meisterschaft und das unfehlbare Auge ihrer Schöpfer diese Werke in ihrer unglaublichen Breite – von Alltagsszenen über Erotik, Kampfkunst bis hin zur Mythologie – vereint und wie Verleger und Künstler mit enormem Einfallsreichtum und Augenzwinkern gleichermaßen darum gekämpft haben, die staatliche Zensur zu umgehen.
 
 Diese Ausgabe vereint die besten erhaltenen Drucke aus Museen und Privatsammlungen weltweit und bietet Beschreibungen, die uns durch diese rasante Periode der japanischen Kunstgeschichte führen.

Forty Love

A stirring exploration of war, race and belonging from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved. An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever. It is with incantatory power that Morrison's language reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and, finally, his home. 'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie, GuardianWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

I am as brown as brown can be, And my eyes as black as sloe; I am as brisk as brisk can be, And wild as forest doe. (The Child Ballads, 295) So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl. Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape. Beautifully illustrated by Bonnie Helen Hawkins, this is a stunning and original modern fairytale.

A perfect autumn and Christmas read, this combines the harshness of nature with the spookiness of a ghost story and the comfort of a great folk tale, in one beautifully told novella which is stunningly illustrated by Bonnie Hawkins.
