Poems of tender knowledge, buoyant survival, and Black, trans embodiment.The simple yet fraught experience of embodiment lies at the thrumming heart of Kelsey L. Smoot’s Soulmate as a Verb. Bodies make love possible, they enable tender connection and transmit electric joy, all while leaving one vulnerable to discord and abuse, heartbreak and grief. Like a body, Smoot’s daring poetry metabolizes cruelty, seeking the tender knowledge and kinships that allow for buoyant survival. The subjectivity of a Black, trans self becomes a prism, shining a variegated intellect on everything from suburbia to Palestine, top surgery to police violence. By utilizing forms such as kwansaba, calligram, Craigslist personals, and golden shovels, Soulmate as a Verb revels in structures that locate poet and poem in a lineage of innovative and contemporary Black, queer verse.

'His fiction changed the way human beings think about themselves' George Saunders'If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy' Isaac BabelCrimea, 1854: Sevastopol's inhabitants taunt the besieging forces that keep them trapped behind defensive walls. So begins Leo Tolstoy's depiction of nine months of battle and bravery, based on his own experiences in the Crimean War.This new translation by acclaimed translator Nicolas Pasternak Slater introduces us to long-suffering citizens, vain hussars and the courageous Kozeltsov brothers - one jaded and pragmatic soldier, one naïve and hungry for glory. Enduringly vivid, profoundly ironic, Tolstoy's portrayal of the stumble from triumph to disaster captures the absurdity at the heart of conflict.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Translated by Nicolas Pasternak Slater.Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was born into the Russian aristocracy, spent his youth in aimless dissolution, and joined the army in a bid to escape his gambling debts. Sevastopol Tales, based on his experience serving as an artillery officer in the Crimean War, helped to establish his fame as a writer in the 1850s. The war helped transform him into a passionate pacifist and social agitator. He started a series of schools for the recently emancipated serfs of Russia, as well as publishing a number of literary masterpieces, most famously the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. He gradually became a near-messianic figure, both lauded and persecuted by the Russian authorities. He was nominated five times for the Nobel Prizes in Literature and Peace, but never won.Nicolas Pasternak Slater is the nephew of novelist Boris Pasternak. After retiring from his career as a doctor he turned to translation, and has published several highly praised versions of great Russian authors, including Pushkin, Dostoyevsky and Chekhov.

Learn foundational methods of divination from the Father of Cartomancy Provides the first English edition of Etteillas seminal text, an Etteilla deck, and a tutorial on how to make your own deck Offers eight main spreads along with variations, devised by Etteilla, and accompanying commentary and case studies Shares how Etteillas 1770 method set the standard for most European cartomantic divination, influencing the development of both cartomancy and tarot Etteilla is the pseudonym of Jean Baptiste Alliette, known to divination devotees as the Father of Cartomancy. His 1770 manual, revised in 1773 under the title La Seule Manière de Tirer Les Cartes, was the first book on how to divine from playing cards, and it remains the basis for many cartomantic decks and tarots today. Now, for the first time, Etteillas manual is available in English. This deck and guidebook gives readers a set of Petit Etteilla cards and a fully annotated translation of his text. The book explores how Etteillas deck and interpretive methods serve as the foundation for decks to follow, including the Lenormand and Rider-Waite-Smith decks. Readers will learn each cards meaning (both upright and reversed) and the significance of each cards placement in a spread. In Etteilla's system, each cards meaning and associated words are printed on the card, allowing readers the freedom to use intuition instead of memorizing the meaning of each card. The result is an innovative system that offers a highly personalized method for readings. Readers will also learn how to make their own decks to further personalize their connection with Etteilla's method. This book offers eight spreads devised by Etteilla, with variations of each, along with commentary, case studies, and practices to enrich your understanding.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvas extraordinary career spans five decades. He has gone beyond a Brazilian politician and become one of the most fascinating political operators of our young century. In October 2022, Lula was once again elected President of Brazil, replacing the far-right strongman Bolsonaro, sparking an insurrection, and exiling the fallen demagogue to Trump-friendly circles in the US. He won by promising to save the Amazon (and, therefore, the world) and, as ever, to give power back to the Brazilian people. This has long been the dream of Latin American left-wing movements many of which have ended in corruption, disaster and death. Lula has survived at least three curtain calls. Imprisoned for corruption in the notorious Car Wash scandal, voted out, bullied and beaten, Lula continues to draw huge crowds of workers wherever he goes. He speaks of revolution and comes from the streets of São Paulo, and yet he is enmeshed in hidden bank accounts and lobbying scandals. When Barack Obama met Lula during his second term as President of Brazil in 2009, he called him the most popular politician in the world. This is the definitive book on Lula. Richard Lapper ran the FT bureau on Latin America for two decades, and lived in Brazil for many years. He is the worlds foremost expert on Brazilian politics. His previous biography of Bolsonaro was for many the best book on the so-called Trump of the Tropics. Lappers unparalleled reporting and access have now turned to Lula, whose story encapsulates so much of why Latin Americas left-wing movements both excite and fascinate us in the West.
