Story
"Domani mattina troverai un'auto sotto casa tua con un biglietto aereo per raggiungermi a Parigi. Non devi pensare a niente, ho già pensato a tutto io. Sarà un weekend indimenticabile." Luca è bravissimo nelle sorprese, ha il talento di rendere speciale ogni momento, anche le pause pranzo. È un uomo molto indipendente, però non gli piace stare da solo. Ha una storia importante alle spalle, finita non ha capito bene come ("quand'è che le cose belle poi diventano brutte?").

Story
Sadie McQueen has leased a double-fronted space in a small cul de sac in a culturally diverse corner of central London. The cobbles muffle the noise of double-deckers roaring past the arched gates. Turn right and you are in a futuristic maze of corporate glass monoliths. Turn left and you see a wide street with many different houses. Towering above the mews are the degenerating tower blocks of an infamous estate.

Story
Den sydkoreanske forfatter Han Kang fik tildelt den internationale Man Booker Pris 2016 for dette litterære mesterværk. Yeong-Hye og hendes mand er helt almindelige mennesker. Han arbejder på kontor, hun er en pligtopfyldende, men lidt uengageret husmor. Så tager Yeong-Hye en beslutning om at blive vegetar. "Jeg havde en drøm", lyder hendes eneste forklaring. Et umiddelbart uskyldigt valg, men ikke i Sydkorea, hvor omgivelserne synes det er chokerende og skamfuldt ikke at spise kød.

Story
« Le 9 janvier 1993, Jean-Claude Romand a tué sa femme, ses enfants, ses parents, puis tenté, mais en vain, de se tuer lui-même. L'enquête a révélé qu'il n'était pas médecin comme il le prétendait et, chose plus difficile encore à croire, qu'il n'était rien d'autre. Il mentait depuis dix-huit ans, et ce mensonge ne recouvrait rien. Près d'être découvert, il a préféré supprimer ceux dont il ne pouvait supporter le regard. Il a été condamné à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité.

Story
In the world of interconnected novels by Louise Erdrich, Four Souls is most closely linked to Tracks. All these works continue and elaborate on the intricate story of life on a reservation peopled by saints and false saints, heroes and sinners, clever fools and tenacious women. Louise Erdrich reminds us of the deep spirituality and the ordinary humanity of this world, and these works are as beautiful and lyrical as anything she has written.

Nach Herkunft endlich neue Erzählungen des SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautors und Deutschen Buchpreisträgers. Was wäre, wenn man nicht diese eine Entscheidung getroffen hätte, sondern diese ganz andere? Was wäre, hätte man der Erwartung getrotzt? Und: Wäre es nicht schön, könnte man ein Leben probeweise erfahren, bevor man es wirklich lebt? Manchmal fürchten wir uns, feige gewesen zu sein, zu lange gezögert und etwas verpasst zu haben, das uns ein besseres Ich beschert hätte, ein größeres Glück und die besser aussehenden und lustigeren Haustiere und Partner.

Kismet [n.] /'kismet/ Destiny; Fate. Origin: 19th century: from Arabic, qisma 'division, portion, lot', qasama 'to divide'. Anna [n.] /'æne/ Journalist and Community Shed entrepreneur, rent-a-sheep developer; in love. Or maybe not. Anna's a free spirit. Definitely happy. Or anxious. Or is it more panicked? She's certainly talented. Unless she's really a fraud. Absolutely hilarious - but possibly grieving. And lustful. On the edge. Having a glass of wine. Whether Kismet means destiny or division, Anna is about to test it to its very limits.

Tessa Ensler ist die auffälligste unter den jungen Strafverteidiger:innen Londons. Sie entstammt nicht einer jener angesehenen Familien mit old money. Sie hat sich aus einem Klima häuslicher Gewalt befreit und aus der Arbeiter:innenklasse hochgearbeitet. Heute verteidigt sie unter anderem Männer, die wegen sexueller Übergriffe angeklagt sind. Ihre Art, Zeuginnen – die mutmaßlichen Opfer – ins Kreuzverhör zu nehmen, ist legendär und wird zu ihrer Eintrittskarte in den inner circle der Anwaltskammern.
