"Diary of a Madman", also translated as "A Madman's Diary" is a short story by the Chinese writer Lu Xun, published in 1918. It was the first and most influential work written in vernacular Chinese in republican era China, and would become a cornerstone of the New Culture Movement. Lu Xun's stories often critiqued early 20th century Chinese society, and "Diary of a Madman" established a new language and revolutionary figure of Chinese literature, an attempt to challenge conventional thinking and traditional understanding.The diary form and the idea of the madman who sees reality more clearly than those around him were inspired by Nikolai Gogol's short story "Diary of a Madman". Lu Xun's "madman" sees "cannibalism" both in his family and the village around him, and he then finds cannibalism in the Confucian classics which had long been credited with a humanistic concern for the mutual obligations of society, and thus used to justify the superiority of Confucian civilization. The story can be read as an sardonic attack on traditional Chinese culture and society and a call for a new culture."Diary of a Madman" is the opening story in Lu Xun's first collection, and has often been referred to as "China's first modern short story". It was only the second modern vernacular Chinese story, after Chen Hengzhe's "One Day". It was selected as one of the 100 best books in history by the Bokklubben World Library, and listed as one of the ten best Asian novels of all time by The Telegraph in 2014. Despite its success and dominance in Chinese literature, Lu Xun's stories took five years before they were widely recognized as a notable works of literature. Before he published the "Diary", Lu Xun was in a state of complete hopelessness and despair. His state of mind being unknown readers during this time, except to the few individuals who were close to him. Thus "Diary of a Madman", with its use of foreign techniques, was not easily comprehensible to most audiences at the time. The theme of cannibalism, and notion of "eating oneself", sparked controversy and criticism among readers due to its ambiguity and interpretation as an extremely harsh criticism of general Chinese culture and traditional ideas. Lu Xun's attempts to cure the cultural malaise which exists in traditional Chinese society through his writings were not easily embraced. However, the "unprecedented" nature of the story and its salient themes and timely arrival captured the attention of many authors and commentators alike. Overall, Lu Xun's work serves as an account of historical change in republican era China and biting social criticism towards issues which still hold relevance in Chinese society today. Lu Xun's short stories were recognized as a significant work of modern classical Chinese literature, reflecting the themes of Chinese society's struggle to break free from a culture of tyrannical imperial power which had ruled the country for millenia, the problematic social structure of Chinese society and the political issues of the time.

THE WORST OF ENEMIES. THE BEST OF FRIENDS. A powerful, emotional novel of peace and friendship against the greatest of odds . . .1914. A boy enrols in the army, hoping to find peace in the great adventure of war. Handed a rifle, he discovers the grim reality: grey days distinguished only by the ever-present spectre of death. In the midst of horror, he finds close friendships, love and companionship. In an unexpected act of courage, he changes the course of history, bringing German and Brits to put down their weapons for a celebration of peace. In 1933, a father and son set out for Flanders. The former soldier carries more of the war with him than his maimed left hand. The British man he met in the forest of Ypres is a memory passed down from father to son, a story of friendship across enemy lines, forged by one uniting belief: the need for peace . . .'A small gem of a novel about the folly and wickedness of war' A. N. Wilson

Word to the wise: Getting hot and heavy one night with the broody, hot rancher in town is rarely ever a good idea.Especially when said rancher is your ex-husband. Conrad Strauss is the owner of Grazing Acres Ranch, home to some of the sharpest bucking bulls around.And as Copper Lake's only veterinarian in our small town, I have to see him more than I'd like. It hasn't always been easy, but it's become manageable.Until, of course, that night my need for him burned too hot to ignore.The night I let my walls down and allowed myself to soak in his comfort and strong arms once more. And if that wasn't bad enough, now his Nana is coming to visit and she doesn't know we're divorced. Conrad Strauss is many things, but a beggar he is not. So when he asks-no, pleads with-me to pretend we're still married while she's here, I lose all rational thoughts and tell him yes. But this means temporarily moving back into the house where we shared so many memories. It means sleeping in our bed again. It means having his eyes on me like they never left. It means pretending I'm in love with him... when I don't think it's pretending at all. It's just a few weeks, though... how bad could it be?

Rule number one: Don't fall for my brother in law.It should be easy, right?Wrong.When I moved in with my sister over summer break, I had no intention of returning to college in the fall. A work trip for her meant a lot of time alone for me with her husband. Boone Stanton. World famous bull rider and way, way off limits.A few late night deep conversations between the two of us, only the midnight sky our witness, and suddenly, I can't look away. Can't keep my mind off of him.It's in the way he works around the yard, sweaty and shirtless. The way his eyes soften and he leans into his playful side around his daughter. And it's in the way he makes me feel seen. The way he's slowly chipping away at my exterior without even realizing it.Then one night I see something I shouldn't. Something that makes my mouth water and my heart race. Except when he catches me, instead of stopping and reprimanding me, he... keeps going.Now, I have the opportunity of a lifetime but it means going on the road with him. It means living in even closer quarters than before. It also means doubling down on keeping my hands to myself and my gaze away from his dark, observing eyes.But I'm only human, and it's only a matter of time before I crack. Before I give in and do something I can't take back.Something that could cost me everything.

After the humans tried to colonize her, Turr was forced to resort to mass violence to reclaim her skin. But in fleeing the planet, the humans left behind a chemical disaster-the dead zone.To bring peace and life back to herself, Turr sends out a desperate plea to two shroom people: Invidia and Clyra. Invidia, though surrounded by death, is tasked with learning how to breathe life back into the land. Clyra must lead a group of broken failed experiments through the forest, following a trail of visions. Death and uncertainty face them at every turn, but only when they're all together can the planet truly begin to heal.Human Scars on Planet Skin will leave you haunted by the stark realities of upsetting the balance of life, aching against the sorrow unmitigated death brings, and shivering against the horrors of being trapped within your own body. More than anything, it will leave you comforted, knowing hope always exists in the life around us, no matter how dark our surroundings may seem.For fans of Don't Let the Forest In, A Botanical Daughter, and Landlocked in Foreign Skin.

For a long time I was scared to read Motorman. It had come recommended to me in such hushed tones that it sounded disruptively incendiary and illegal. Not only would the reader of this crazed novel burn to ashes, apparently, but he might be posthumously imprisoned for reading the book-a jar of cinder resting in a jail cell. Books were not often spoken of so potently to me, as contraband, as narcotic, as ordnance. There was the whispered promise that my mind would be blown after reading Motorman. There was the assurance that once I read it I would drool with awe, writerly awe, the awe of watching a madman master at work, David Ohle, awesomely carving deep, black holes into the edifice of the English language. -from the introduction by Ben MarcusThis dystopia is a tour de force of scabrous invention. It is also uncomfortably real. As a kid I flipped through Science News and got an unpleasant shock when I inadvertently put my finger on a close-up of a spider's mandibles. Similarly, something about Ohle's prose closes the gap between the representation of a disturbing thing and the thing itself. You feel you ought to wash your hands after touching the page. But if you think that wiping will remove the stain, consider this: Doing time in the French Sewers (don't ask), Moldenke learns that they supply the bakery where edible paper-"for money, for waivers, for wiping, for books"-is made. Shit is books, books are food, food is shit. The conclusion? We're in it. Deep. -Shelley Jackson, from a review in BookForum

Perfect for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh and Sally Rooney, Methuselah offers a raw and haunting glimpse into our collective lonelinesses, anxieties, and desires.Told in alternating chapters that braid the past with the near-present, Methuselah follows Tessa as she shuns college and sets out on the road with her doom metal band, a ragtag group called Pestilential Harbor.But when she discovers that one of the members has been keeping an explosive secret, the band splinters. Tessa settles in San Diego, drifting through her twenties as love--and meaningful connections with other people--seems just out of reach.As droughts and wildfires sweep her home state, she obsessively keeps tabs on the safety of a 4,000-year-old bristlecone pine tree named Methuselah (this means repeatedly pressing return on a Google search of "Is Methuselah still alive?"). But as her grandmother slides into dementia, and the natural world feels more distant than ever, it will take more than refreshing a webpage to keep Tessa's hope in the future alive.Time folds in on itself, each chapter offering a new vantage point: from a hallucinogenic New Year's Eve party to a dust-white Bronx apartment to a ghost town in the Mojave Desert.Methuselah is a meditation on time, memory, family history, and what it means to live in an increasingly fast-paced and disconnected world.Praise"Amy DeBellis writes with ferocious conviction for truth. This is what allows her fiction to unabashedly dissect the lives of her characters, peeling back skin and sinew to expose the raw underbelly of desire, insecurity, and rebellion. Methuselah is a masterful display of DeBellis' dedication to craft, which has enabled her to expertly construct a rich world of her own making-one that feels as authentic and troubled as the one we live in today."- Nicholas Claro, author of This Is Where You Are: Stories

Embark on a sweeping journey through the history of a nation shaped by sea and stone. This comprehensive account traces the story of Norway from its very beginning, when the first hunters followed retreating glaciers into a land of breathtaking but harsh beauty. It delves into the dramatic Viking Age, where dragon-prowed longships burst forth from the fjords to raid, trade, and explore their way across the known world, leaving their mark from the British Isles to the shores of North America. The narrative then follows the painstaking process of forging a unified kingdom, the arrival of Christianity, and the flourishing of a powerful medieval realm that stretched across the North Atlantic.After a devastating blow from the Black Death, the book chronicles Norway's long period as a junior partner in unions with its more powerful Scandinavian neighbors, Denmark and Sweden. This era of "national slumber" gives way to a powerful nineteenth-century reawakening, fueled by the currents of national romanticism. Witness the determined struggle to rediscover a unique Norwegian identity through art, literature, and language, a cultural renaissance that culminated in the peaceful dissolution of the union with Sweden in 1905 and the restoration of full, modern independence.Explore the immense challenges of the twentieth century, as Norway navigated two world wars and the precarious tightrope of neutrality. The narrative provides a gripping account of the traumatic German invasion and occupation in World War II, a defining experience that forged a new national consciousness and shattered the country's long-standing policy of isolationism. In the aftermath, follow the nation's reconstruction, its firm commitment to the West as a founding member of NATO, and the deliberate construction of one of the world's most comprehensive and egalitarian welfare states.Discover the moment that irrevocably altered the nation's destiny: the discovery of vast oil and gas reserves in the North Sea in 1969. This history details the dramatic economic transformation that catapulted a once-modest nation into the ranks of the world's wealthiest. It examines the uniquely Norwegian model of managing this immense wealth, channeling vast revenues into a sovereign wealth fund designed to benefit future generations. From Viking raiders to international peacekeepers, and from a poor, peripheral nation to a global economic powerhouse, this is the definitive story of the long, arduous, and remarkable journey along the "northern way."

Faith should not collapse the moment it is questioned.Today's teens are surrounded by noise. Social media, culture, school, and peer pressure all compete to define truth, identity, and purpose. Many young Christians grow up knowing the language of faith but struggling to explain what they believe or why it matters when challenged. When doubts arise, or when beliefs are questioned, borrowed faith often proves too fragile to survive.This book was written to change that. Systematic theology is often treated as something distant, academic, or only for pastors and professors. As a result, teens are left without a clear framework for understanding God, the Bible, Jesus, and the meaning of life. Faith becomes emotional, reactionary, or easily shaken by skepticism, suffering, or cultural confusion.But theology is not about memorizing doctrines. It is about learning to think clearly about God and reality.This guide gives teens the tools to do exactly that. Inside this clear, structured guide, teens will discover: What theology really is and why everyone already lives by oneHow to think biblically in a world of shifting opinions and relative truthHow to read the Bible with confidence instead of confusionHonest answers to questions about God's existence, science, and sufferingA clear explanation of God's character, attributes, and promisesThe Trinity explained without jargon or intimidationWhat it means to be human, created with purpose and dignityWhy sin, grace, and salvation matter in everyday lifeWho Jesus is and why the cross and resurrection change everythingHow faith connects to identity, choices, and the futureEach chapter builds logically, helping teens see how Christian beliefs connect into a coherent, meaningful worldview they can understand and articulate. Unlike dry textbooks or shallow devotionals, this book respects teens' intelligence. It welcomes questions instead of silencing them. Doubt is treated not as failure, but as an invitation to deeper thinking and stronger faith.By the end, readers will not just know what Christians believe. They will understand why those beliefs are reasonable, meaningful, and worth living by. Faith becomes something owned, not inherited. Confident, not fragile. Grounded, not reactive.This book is ideal for teens, parents, homeschool families, youth groups, and anyone who wants to help young people build a faith that can withstand real life.

Las últimas décadas, periodo de neoliberalismo y de giro autoritario de las formas de gobierno, han venido igualmente marcadas por una creciente violencia contra las mujeres. Los asesinatos sistemáticos de Ciudad Juárez se han convertido en un ensayo a escala planetaria, desbordándose allí donde el Estado se ha descompuesto en sus tradicionales funciones soberanas. El capitalismo exacerbado, producto de una modernidad-colonialidad nunca superada, se descarga ahora en las nuevas guerras contra las mujeres, destruyendo la sociedad al tiempo que sus cuerpos. Comprender este nuevo giro violento del patriarcado, que Segato considera acertadamente la primera estructura de dominación en la historia de la humanidad, implica desplazarlo «del borde al centro». De acuerdo con la autora, sólo a partir de una revitalización de la comunidad y de una repolitización de lo doméstico será posible detener el femigenocidio hoy en marcha. Se juega en ello nada menos que el futuro de la humanidad. Las últimas décadas, periodo de neoliberalismo y de giro autoritario de las formas de gobierno, han venido igualmente marcadas por
