Genova L: More or Less Maddy

More or Less Maddy

A Novel

In den 1950er-Jahren wird die junge Ann in einer englischen Arbeiterfamilie groß, doch die Liebe zur Literatur ermöglicht ihr den sozialen Aufstieg und führt sie schließlich nach Paris. Die Literatur wird auch die verbindende Sprache zwischen Ann und ihrer Tochter Julia, die keine gemeinsame Muttersprache miteinander teilen. Julias Leben gerät unvermittelt ins Wanken, als sie Ann nach einem Schlaganfall findet. Für Mutter und Tochter beginnt ein langer Weg durch das Labyrinth der Pflegeeinrichtungen, gleichzeitig geht Julia den blinden Flecken in der Erzählung der eigenen Familiengeschichte nach und kommt einem lang gehüteten Geheimnis ihrer Mutter auf die Spur. Klar, lakonisch und liebevoll zugleich zeichnet Julia Deck das Bild einer Frau, die nach Selbstbestimmung strebt und erzählt einfühlsam von der so komplexen wie absoluten Liebe zwischen Mutter und Tochter.Ausgezeichnet mit dem Prix Médicis 2024'Julia Deck ist eine unglaubliche Schriftstellerin. Von einer unwahrscheinlichen Intelligenz, Wut und Liebe.' France Inter'Eine Erzählung, die durch ihre Raffinesse und Brillanz besticht.'

Die Wahrheit über Ann

From America's most acclaimed satirist and the author of the book that became the Apple+ hit Bad Monkey, Fever Beach is an unmissable skewering of American politics in all its ridiculousness. Dale Figgo is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. Now his already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries. The first is Viva Morales, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the supposedly philanthropic Mink Foundation and renting a room in Figgo's apartment; the second, Twilly Spree, a millionaire with an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment. Together, Viva and Twilly are plunged into a mystery involving dark money and darker motives, one they are determined to solve. Into this web come a cavalcade of outrageous characters, from corrupt politicians to white power idiots, all of whose fates are bound together via Figgo in a novel that is both a vicious state-of-the-nation satire and a hilarious thriller.

Fever Beach

In this modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga’s twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey, and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house. The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk’s efforts to “help” threatens to divide the seven sisters. Eldest Johanna tries to wield control, young Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature – but their trips to the farmer’s market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time exploring their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they’ve invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi’s classic Finnish novel&nbsp;Seven Brothers&nbsp;(1870), The Bear Hunter’s Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

"Go jump in a lake! Bawdy, fantastic, and surprisingly poignant, The Bear Hunter's Daughters is the perfect book for the wildest person in your life. Told with brio and humor, this fable of the seven redhaired sisters settles deep in your bones.

From the mindset you move with, to the habits you create, and the tools you carry—learn how to stay sharp, stay ready, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life!Dannah Eve has always been street smart, and for the past several years, she has been sharing her advice, self-defense strategies, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat—mastering situational awareness, calculated deception, and the art of always being ready. This is survival on your terms. These are just a few of the rules she lives by: <ul><li>Lie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety.</li><li>On a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details—a Tinder match is not yet a trusted person.</li><li>Living alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target.</li><li>While commuting: Never leave any personal information visible—such as your workplace ID, nametag, or packages showing your address.</li><li>On vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target.</li><li>While driving: Never pull over for an unmarked vehicle; anyone can order police sirens and flashing lights online.</li><li>At school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services.</li><li>Online: Phishing emails, fake texts, scare tactics—don’t bite, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.</li><li>At a concert or other public place: Plan your exit strategy before you need it.</li></ul>In an unpredictable and often frightening world, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition—and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence, you operate with authority—and that ripple effect can protect more than just you.&nbsp;

Street Smarts

In this swoony young adult romance from the acclaimed author of Sunkissed, Indy and Beau’s friendship is shattered, but getting accidentally locked in a bathroom together just might be what's needed to reconnect. When the walls close in, the truth comes out. When Indy’s life came crashing down, she made a rule: no one could know. To the world, she’s still the same Indy—cool, calm, unshaken. But behind the scenes? It’s chaos. Her tight-knit crew—Beau, Caroline, and Ava—were once her everything. Now they’re strangers she can’t seem to reach—especially Beau. And the only person she talks to these days is Cody, a skater-boy she used to think was so not her type. Funny how everything changes when your world flips upside down. And then, as if things couldn’t get weirder, Indy finds herself literally stuck in a school bathroom with Beau. After months of silence, and there’s no escape. If they want out, they’ll have to face the messy truth about what happened between them and find a way back to what they once had. Or maybe even more . . .

Pineapple Street

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

Kuroko's Basketball

Der Winter Cup ruft - und Seirin ist dabei! Zur Feier des Tages gönnt sich das erschöpfte Team aber erst mal eine wohlverdiente Auszeit in einem japanischen Onsen - und trifft dort prompt auf Aomine, der bereits auf ein Rematch brennt. Die Gelegenheit dazu lässt nicht lange auf sich warten, denn schon im Auftaktspiel des Winter Cups kommt es zum Showdown gegen die Too-Akademie. Jetzt gilt es zu beweisen, wie sehr die Stammspieler der Seirin seit jener vernichtenden Niederlage gewachsen sind!

Kuroko's Basketball 07

An urgent rethinking of the Western approach to mental health, which treats the symptoms rather than the exploitative systems causing our distress—by a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Medical School physician-anthropologist—offering lessons from the rest of the world. What if the mainstay of mental health care involved cancelling onerous debt, giving poor people free housing, and paying reparations to the descendants of slavery and colonialism? In Empire of Madness, Dr. Khameer Kidia re-evaluates the Western approach to mental health, which medicates symptoms instead of changing the structures that harm the human psyche. A physician and researcher whose own family suffers from the psychological effects of colonialism, Kidia highlights the limitations of the Western mental health model by reporting from the front lines of mental health crises at home, in the clinic, and during a decade of fieldwork. Clear-eyed and openhearted, Kidia asks the nuanced questions unaddressed by our current mental health model: How do history, culture, and politics shape mental distress? Are hoarding and burnout medical diagnoses or social problems? Why are schizophrenia outcomes sometimes better in poor countries without antipsychotics? Can a traditional healer treat mental illness better than a Western-trained clinician? For those living in poverty, can cash replace pills? With rigorous research, cutting analysis, and illuminating prose, Kidia invites us to reimagine mental health as a global idea where our wellbeing is mutual and everyone’s voice—patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers alike—matters.
