Story
When Jeanette Winterson left home at 16 because she was in love with a woman, Mrs. Winterson asked her: "Why be happy when you could be normal?" This book is the story of a life's work to find happiness. It is the story of how the painful past returned to haunt Jeanette's later life, and send her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her real mother. It is also a book about other people's stories, showing how fiction and poetry can form a string of guiding lights, a life raft which supports us when we are sinking.

Story
A century on from the first votes for women in the UK, award-winning author Jeanette Winterson asks what we still stand to learn from the Suffragettes. Examining recent women's rights movements, the worlds of politics and technology, social media and changes in the law, Winterson celebrates how far we have come but demands that we do more. There is still so far to go, so much courage we still need to find. Witty and wise, incisive and inspiring, Courage Calls to Courage Everywhere is a powerful reminder of the need for true equality and an urgent call to arms.

Story
In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village seance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband.

Story
The Myth of Atlas and Heracles retold and performed by Dick Hill and Susie Breck. Condemned to shoulder the world "for ever" by the gods he dared defy, freedom seems unattainable to Atlas. But then he receives an unexpected visit from Heracles, the one man strong enough to share the burden, and it seems they can strike a bargain that might release him. Jeanette Winterson asks difficult questions about the nature of choice and coercion in her dazzling retelling of the myth of Atlas and Heracles.

Story
Jeanette Winterson tackles her own reality in her riveting memoir. In this remarkable book she confronts the various paths her childhood took from being raised by a religious zealot who kept a gun in the dresser to pondering her sexuality and other core parts of her identity and the search for her biological mother. Funny, acute, fierce, and celebratory, this is a tough-minded search for belonging, for love, a mother, an identity, and a home. In conversation with A.M. Homes.

Story
In questi dodici saggi, l'autrice di "Perché essere felice quando puoi essere normale?" rielabora i suoi anni di riflessioni e letture sull'intelligenza artificiale in tutte le sue sconcertanti manifestazioni. Con il suo solito stile brillante, pungente, originale e arguto, Winterson attinge alla storia, alla religione, al mito, alla letteratura, alla politica di razza e di genere e all'informatica, per aiutarci a comprendere i cambiamenti radicali del nostro modo di vivere e di amare che stanno avvenendo proprio adesso tutto intorno a noi.

Story
Nuestras vidas digitales e hiperconectadas tienen al alcance milenios de conocimiento, pero ¿qué sabemos del mundo de los fantasmas? Nosotros hemos cambiado, pero ellos no: simplemente se han adaptado y han encontrado innovadores caminos para abordarnos. Habitan en nuestras aplicaciones informáticas y deambulan por el metaverso del mismo modo que antes se escondían en casas tenebrosas, empeñados en difuminar los límites entre la vida y la muerte y siempre a la caza de nuevas formas de comunicarse, de rondar nuestros recuerdos, de vengarse o de asumir el control de nuestra vida.

Story
Rimasta orfana, la piccola Silver viene adottata da Pew, un gentile e misterioso personaggio senza età che vive nel faro di Cape Wrath. Pew si occupa teneramente di lei, le racconta antiche storie incentrate sul desiderio, sullo sradicamento, sui legami e sulle assenze che segnano la nostra vita. Le racconta in particolare la storia di Babel Dark, un reverendo locale dell'Ottocento che ha vissuto due vite, una pubblica avvolta nell'oscurità e una privata immersa nella luce.
