Octavia E. Butler's ground-breaking masterpiece, with an original foreword by Ayobami Adebayo.

'A marvel of imagination, empathy and detail' NEW YORK TIMES

'The marker you should judge all other time-travelling narratives by' GUARDIAN

'One of the most significant literary artists of the twentieth century. One cannot exaggerate the impact she has had' JUNOT DIAZ

--

In 1976, Dana dreams of being a writer. In 1815, she is assumed a slave.

When Dana first meets Rufus on a Maryland plantation, he's drowning. She saves his life - and it will happen again and again.

Neither of them understands his power to summon her whenever his life is threatened, nor the significance of the ties that bind them.

And each time Dana saves him, the more aware she is that her own life might be over before it's even begun.

This is the extraordinary story of two people bound by blood, separated by so much more than time.

'No novel I've read this year has felt as relevant, as gut-wrenching or as essential' CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE

My Dinner with Andre : A Screenplay (0802130631)

Gambar
My Dinner with Andre is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's continuing quest for self-fulfillment.

ARTE DE TRATAR CON LAS MUJERES, EL (9788420651354)

En "El arte de tratar con las mujeres", Franco Volpi ha recopilado y ordenado una antología de textos y sentencias en las que el feroz misógino que fue Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) expone sus ideas acerca del papel de la mujer en la existencia humana. Volumen proyectado con un espíritu lúdico que respira ya la misma introducción, su contenido resulta hoy, afortunadamente, un risible catálogo de consejos destinados a prevenir al varón frente a la ardua relación con el bello sexo o un repertorio de resentidas invectivas más motivo de curiosidad que otra cosa. Dependiendo del lector, sus líneas políticamente incorrectas moverán sin duda a sonrisa o a indignación. Sea una u otra, conviene, sin embargo, no perder de vista que el fondo que subyace tras muchas de estas sentencias es el que ha nutrido hasta hace muchos menos años de los que podríamos suponer buena parte de los pensamientos masculinos, y que posiblemente en muchos casos aún lo sigue haciendo.
