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.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now it seems&nbsp;that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs&nbsp;–&nbsp;but this time Arkady’s life is not the only one on the line.

Maxim Volkov 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. &nbsp; Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about.

Tailored Realities

“The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years.” — Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A masterpiece....Don Winslow remains one of my all-time favorite writers." —James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author #1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow—America’s King of Crime Fiction—is back and he’s better than ever. The trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow a repeat New York Times bestselling author and “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Providence Journal) are on brilliant display in this new book sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers. The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible—it can’t be done. That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his “Final Score.” An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to “The Sunday List” until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a “True Story” over breakfast at a diner. It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in “The North Wing.” The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in “The Lunch Break” is a problem. She also has a problem—someone wants her dead. Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a “Collision” course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive. With a foreword written by award-winning crime author Reed Farrel Coleman, The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive book of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow's prowess as a living legend of the genre.

The Final Score

A sweeping collection of women's writing on the wandering path, moving across genres, geographies, and centuries. The follow-up to the celebrated Wanderers, Kerri Andrews's Way Makers is the first anthology of women's writing about walking. Moving from Elizabeth Carter's correspondence with Catherine Talbot in the eighteenth century through to Merryn Glover in the present day, and across poetry, letters, diaries, novels, and more, this anthology traces a long tradition of women's walking literature. Walking is, for the women included in this anthology, a source of creativity and comfort; it is a means of expressing grief, longing, and desire. It is also a complicated activity: it represents freedom but is also sometimes tinged with danger and fear. What cannot be denied any longer is that walking was, and continues to be, an activity full of physical and emotional significance for women: this anthology is a testament to the rich literary heritage created by generations of women walker-writers over the centuries.

New, Classic, and Rediscovered Writing

The Anthony Bourdain Reader

Student Editions

A Student Edition of Euripides' play, which accessibly unpacks Greek tragedy in its social context, issues of translation and adaptation, and performance approaches over the centuries. Euripides' play Medea was first produced in 431BC and continues to be produced globally to this day. Its power and timeless appeal for audiences rests in its portrait of a woman driven to murder the new wife of the man who abandoned her and to murder her own children. In more recent times, Medea's actions have been taken as a symbol of female power in an otherwise male-dominated society. Will Shüler's commentary in this Student Edition looks at the violence of the play - both onstage and off; the original performance conditions; staging challenges, both then and now (including Medea's exit on a dragon); the notion of myth and how Greek tragedians were telling old stories to get new meanings; and how the play has evolved through translation. It considers a range of productions up to the present day, including the 2014 National Theatre production directed by Carrie Cracknell and starring Helen McCrory; Sophie Okonedo as Medea at the Soho Theatre, London, in 2023; and the 2000 Australian version, Black Medea, which interpreted Medea as an indigenous woman brought to a city by her ambitious husband.

Here We Are

Im Februar 2022 erleben die Ukrainer die größte Invasion seit dem Einmarsch der Wehrmacht im Jahr 1941. Erneut stehen ausländische Truppen vor Kyjiw, vor Charkiw, vor Saporishshja und am Dnipro. Wie 81 Jahre zuvor sind große Teile der Ukraine besetzt, nun von einer russischen Invasionsarmee. Der Eroberungsfeldzug gleicht jenem aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, als dessen Fortsetzung er sich ausgibt, als notwendige "Entnazifizierung" der Ukraine durch Besatzung, Unterwerfung und Annexion. Dass die Ukraine als souveräner Staat auch knapp drei Jahre später noch existiert, verdankt sie dem Durchhaltevermögen und Widerstandswillen ihrer Bevölkerung sowie der militärischen und politischen Unterstützung vor allem durch den globalen Westen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird auch Literatur neu befragt: Welchen Stellenwert kann das Schreiben in Kriegszeiten haben? Muss sie sich als Instrument der kulturellen Kriegsführung rechtfertigen? Arbeitet sie gegen den Prozess des Abstumpfens an, der unweigerlich eintritt, wenn sich die Zeitungsberichte in ihrer Beschreibung von wiederkehrendem Tod und Leid zu gleichen beginnen? Oder wirkt sie nach innen, erzeugt Gemeinschaft unter und mit jenen, die am eigenen Leibe erlebt haben, was die Texte über den Krieg zur Sprache bringen? Die Texte dieses Bandes zeigen, dass die ukrainische Literatur nicht verstummt ist, dass sie die Aufgaben annimmt, die jetzt an sie gestellt werden, dass sie es aufnimmt mit dem verstörenden Stoff einer Wirklichkeit der Gewalt. Indem sie sich der Sprachlosigkeit verweigert, zeigt sie, dass sie nach wie vor lebendig ist. Diese Anthologie dient als Ausweis dieser Tatsache, aber ebenso als Erinnerung an jene Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftsteller, die in diesem Krieg ums Leben gekommen und verstummt sind. Ihre Worte hingegen werden bleiben.

Letters for the Ages

A collection of letters written through the ages from musicians of all genres, from Mozart to Freddie Mercury. For tens of thousands of years, across various civilisations, our species has been creating music. But what is behind the human fascination with music? This new volume in the Letters for the Ages series explores that question through the personal correspondence of history's most brilliant musical talent, ranging from Hildegaard of Bingen to Amy Winehouse. Spanning from the 12th to the 21st centuries, the letters assembled in this collection combine to delve into musicians' personal relationship with music and the creative process behind their greatest works of art. Witness your musical idols, warm-hearted and compassionate, arrogant and angry, insecure and egocentric, defeated and morose. The letters give a rare insight into the innermost thoughts of these great musicians who have created some of the most recognisable and beautiful music ever heard. But despite the mass of talent within these pages, these letters also provide the realisation that even the most extraordinary music has been created by normal people with normal worries and preoccupations.
