From the Orange Prize-shortlisted author of AMY & ISABELLE, a deeply moving story of love, abandonment, and the peril of family secrets...

Gina ira en pension. Son père adoré l’a décrété sans donner la moindre explication : « Ne dis au revoir à personne. Tu ne dois pas dire que tu quittes Budapest. Promets-le-moi ! » Elle doit oublier son ancienne vie et rejoindre, dans la lointaine province, Matula, une institution calviniste très stricte, reconnue pour la qualité de son enseignement.Enfant gâtée, rétive aux règles, elle est vite mise en quarantaine. Seule solution pour survivre, l’évasion… qui se solde par un échec piteux. Désespérée, l’adolescente finit par confier ses malheurs à Abigaël, la statue qui se dresse au fond du jardin. Car selon l’antique tradition matulienne, Abigaël aide tous ceux qui le souhaitent. Et, miracle, l’ange gardien se manifeste ! Une série d’aventures rocambolesques sortent Gina du purgatoire et lui font comprendre la douloureuse décision de son père en même temps que le sens des mots honneur, solidarité et amitié.Un magnifique roman d’initiation. Claire Julliard, L’Obs.Éblouissant par sa maîtrise narrative, sa justesse émotionnelle et sa hauteur historique. Une merveille. Jeanne de Ménibus, Elle.Traduit du hongrois par Chantal Philippe.

From the author of The Door, a beloved coming-of-age tale set in WWII-era Hungary.Abigail, the story of a headstrong teenager growing up during World War II, is the most beloved of Magda Szabó’s books in her native Hungary. Gina is the only child of a general, a widower who has long been happy to spoil his bright and willful daughter. Gina is devastated when the general tells her that he must go away on a mission and that he will be sending her to boarding school in the country. She is even more aghast at the grim religious institution to which she soon finds herself consigned. She fights with her fellow students, she rebels against her teachers, finds herself completely ostracized, and runs away. Caught and brought back, there is nothing for Gina to do except entrust her fate to the legendary Abigail, as the classical statue of a woman with an urn that stands on the school’s grounds has come to be called. If you’re in trouble, it’s said, leave a message with Abigail and help will be on the way. And for Gina, who is in much deeper trouble than she could possibly suspect, a life-changing adventure is only beginning.There is something of Jane Austen in this story of the deceptiveness of appearances; fans of J.K. Rowling are sure to enjoy Szabó’s picture of irreverent students, eccentric teachers, and boarding-school life. Above all, however, Abigail is a thrilling tale of suspense.

A finales de 1943 las tropas alemanas se preparan para invadir Hungría. Preocupado por la seguridad de su hija, un general del Ejército húngaro decide enviarla a un internado lejos de la capital. Gina, una adolescente vivaz, sofisticada y algo malcriada, no se deja impresionar por las razones que le dan y, cuando la escuela resulta ser ferozmente puritana en una ciudad de provincias, se rebela. Su actitud de superioridad ofende a sus nuevas compañeras de clase y las cosas se complican. Es el comienzo de un largo y amargo aprendizaje que le abrirá los ojos ante los verdaderos motivos y sentimientos de los demás. Expuesta por primera vez a las realidades de la vida de aquellos menos privilegiados que ella, y cada vez más enfrentada a lo siniestro de la guerra, aprende lecciones sobre la naturaleza de la lealtad, el coraje, el sacrificio y el amor.

This textbook serves to teach readers about the origins of life, the probabilistic process of self-assembly underpinning all living systems, from a biophysics perspective. The author cohesively summarizes the various organizing principles that led to the development of an ordered physical basis on which the evolution of life operates. This book answers critical questions, such as why life depends on the properties of inanimate objects and how the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology convolved to spontaneously produce the periodic table and, of course, life itself. Readers are provided with an introduction to probability distributions as well as detailed descriptions of important concepts in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics. As the book progresses, an understanding for the inevitability of life is developed through topics such as stellar nucleosynthesis and prebiotic evolution. Each chapter also includes problems for readers to gain a better understanding of the material. This textbook is accessible to students and researchers of all levels and serves as a comprehensive guide on the physics behind abiogenesis.

In 2018, Ethiopia and the world were in the throes of "Abiymania", a fervour of popular support for the divided country"s young, charismatic new prime minister. Arriving as if from nowhere, Abiy Ahmed, a Pentecostal Christian, promised democratic salvation and national unity. For his role brokering a historic peace with neighbouring Eritrea, he received the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize. Hailed at home as a prophet and abroad as a liberal reformer, Abiy was all things to all men.But his democratic revolution wasn"t quite what it seemed. Within two years, Ethiopia had lurched into a devastating civil war, threatening state collapse. By 2023, fighting on an apocalyptic scale had killed hundreds of thousands in the northern Tigray region; famine stalked the land; and Ethiopia"s once-promising economy lay in tatters. But Abiy had never looked stronger.Based on hundreds of interviews with Ethiopians of all persuasions, and extensive reporting across the country, this book traces the fading hope of Ethiopia"s transition, unravelling the paradoxes of an enigmatic world leader. Despite everything, Abiy remains in power, embodying the new Ethiopia in all its contradiction, triumph and tragedy. But his attempt to remould the country in his image almost broke it — and may break it still.

A collection of essential quotations from the renowned fashion designer, DJ, and stylistAbloh-isms is a collection of essential quotations from American fashion designer, DJ, and stylist Virgil Abloh, who was a major creative figure in the worlds of pop culture and art. Abloh began his career as Kanye West’s creative director before founding the luxury streetwear label Off-White and becoming artistic director for Louis Vuitton, making Abloh the first American of African descent to hold that title at a French fashion house. Defying categorization, Abloh’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums and galleries, most notably in a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Gathered from interviews and other sources, this selection of compelling and memorable quotations from the designer reveals his thoughts on a wide range of subjects, including creativity, passion, innovation, race, and what it means to be an artist of his generation. Lively and thought-provoking, these quotes reflect Abloh’s unique perspective as a trailblazer in his fields.Select quotations from the book:"I believe that coincidence is key, but coincidence is energies coming towards each other. You have to be moving to meet it.”"Life is collaboration. Where I think art can be sort of misguided is that it propagates this idea of itself as a solo love affair―one person, one idea, no one else involved.”"Black influence has created a new ecosystem, which can grow and support different types of life that we couldn’t before."

From 1971 until his death in 1984, Foucault gave public lectures at the world-famous College de France. Attended by thousands, these were seminal events in the world of French letters. Picador is proud to be publishing the lectures in thirteen volumes.The lectures comprising "Abnormal" begin by examining the role of psychiatry in modern criminal justice, and its method of categorizing individuals who "resemble their crime before they commit it." Building on the themes of societal self-defense in "Society Must Be Defended," Foucault shows how and why defining "abnormality" and "normality" were preorogatives of power in the nineteenth century. The College de France lectures add immeasurably to our appreciation of Foucault's work and offer a unique window into his thinking.

Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures takes up the work of three iconic feminist thinkers - Angela Y. Davis, Shulamith Firestone, and Donna Haraway - to ask how each author's vision of work, the family, and the carceral state can expand contemporary feminism's ability to structurally analyze social problems. Kathi Weeks examines the archive of this unexpected collection of Marxist feminists whose works are united by their abolitionist approaches, arguing that feminism can gain a broader constituency by taking up anti-capitalist critique and praxis. Across the book's chapters, Weeks recontextualizes well-known feminist texts in a new and original light, bringing their insight from the past into the present and future of abolitionist politics.

In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, "If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book." This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.

In this landmark work, four of the world's leading scholar-activists set out a vital, urgent manifesto for a truly intersectional, internationalist, abolitionist feminism. Abolitionist theories and practices are at their most compelling when they are feminist; and a feminism that is also abolitionist is the most inclusive and persuasive version of feminism for these times.

'A woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard' New York TimesFrom trailblazing political activist Angela Y. Davis, a major new collection of essays and interviews that argue for a radical rethinking of our prison systemsAn icon of revolutionary politics, Angela Y. Davis has been at the forefront of collective movements for prison abolition for over fifty years. Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two important new volumes, brings together an essential collection of Davis's essays, conversations, and interviews over the years, showing how her thinking has sharpened and evolved even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation.Davis traces a genealogy of the penal system, from slavery to the prison industrial complex, offering a trenchant analysis of the relationship between the prison system and capitalism, both in the US and on a global scale.

Scottish zoologist IVAN TERRANCE SANDERSON (1911-1973) coined the word cryptozoology and first used it in print in this hard-to-find 1961 work, the story of "hairy hominids" across the planet from the very beginnings of human civilization until the mid 20th century. With its scientific, anthropological approach, this is one of the first books to treat the phenomenon of "Bigfoot" seriously, and introduced a groundbreaking classification system for the spectrum of subhumanoids."I am happy that a whole new generation of cryptozoologists-in-training will be able to read Ivan T. Sanderson's classic book," says cryptozoologist Loren Coleman in his new introduction. "This book opened the minds of many to the vastness of the hominoid reports... and spotlighted for people that Bigfoot/Sasquatch research was the next area for exploration in North America."This new edition, complete with the original illustrations and maps, is part of Cosimo's Loren Coleman Presents series.LOREN COLEMAN is author of numerous books of cryptozoology, including Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America and Mothman and Other Curious Encounters.

This new edition has been expanded and updated to include and reflect on important artists who have emerged in the last decade, with a focus on the burgeoning of activity in the Southern Desert region, Queensland and the Torres Strait Islands - all testament to Aboriginal art’s continued dynamism and vitality.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade will have long-term and indelible consequences on American society. The purpose of this book is to be part of the on-going conversations.Perfect or not, Roe was working for America. Consequently, it did not need to be "fixed". The ignorance of attempting to fix it when the ramifications were unknown, has resulted in chaos, confusion, inconvenience and trauma for women who need abortions. In many cases viability of the embryo dictates an abortion. Also important is the fact that medical decisions were taken out of the hands of physicians. That is a "No, no"!The book also addresses the issue of poor ethics in the Supreme Court as this was also a factor in overturning Roe, as was arrogance.

Abortion has remained one of the most volatile and polarizing issues in the United States for over four decades. Americans are more divided today than ever over abortion, and this debate colors the political, economic, and social dynamics of the country.

He's single, child-free, goes to the right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He's also found a great way to score with women: attend single parents' groups full of available (and grateful) mothers, all hoping to meet a Nice Guy.

'the greatest short story writer who has ever lived' Raymond Carver's unequivocal verdict on Chekhov's genius has been echoed many times by writers as diverse as Katherine Mansfield, Somerset Maugham, John Cheever and Tobias Wolf.

Elusive and subtle, spare and unadorned, the stories in this selection are among Chekhov's most poignant and lyrical. They include well-known pieces such as 'The Lady with the Little Dog', as well as less familiar work like 'Gusev', inspired by Chekhov's travels in the Far East, and 'Rothschild's Violin', a haunting and darkly humorous tale about death and loss.

About Skin Disease: Unlocking the Gut-Skin Connection" by Katsuzo Nishi is a groundbreaking treatise that redefines our understanding of the intricate relationship between the skin and gastrointestinal health. In this comprehensive guide, Nishi delves into the profound connection between the gut and various skin ailments, presenting a holistic approach to healing that addresses the root cause of skin diseases.Nishi begins by unveiling the fundamental concept that the gut serves as the epicenter of overall health, exerting a profound influence on the body's external manifestations, particularly the skin. Drawing upon extensive research and his own experiences, he elucidates how imbalances in the gut microbiome, digestive disorders, and dietary factors significantly impact the skin's health and appearance.The book embarks on a journey through the interconnected systems of the body, elucidating how disruptions in the gut can trigger a myriad of skin conditions, ranging from acne, eczema, psoriasis to more complex dermatological issues. Nishi compellingly argues that these skin manifestations are not merely superficial but are reflective of deeper underlying imbalances within the body's internal environment.Central to Nishi's thesis is the notion that conventional treatments often focus solely on alleviating external symptoms, neglecting the pivotal role of the gut in perpetuating these conditions. He meticulously outlines how traditional approaches to skincare, typically reliant on topical treatments, fail to address the core issue, leading to temporary relief but recurrent flare-ups.However, Nishi offers a beacon of hope by advocating for a paradigm shift towards holistic healing rooted in rebalancing the gut-skin axis. He provides a comprehensive roadmap that encompasses dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and targeted therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring gut health. Through meticulous guidance, readers are empowered to adopt a proactive approach to nurture their gut microbiome, thereby fostering radiant skin from within.Furthermore, Nishi dispels prevalent myths surrounding skincare, debunking misconceptions about quick-fix solutions and advocating for a more nuanced understanding of the body's interconnectedness. He emphasizes the significance of a symbiotic relationship between nutrition, stress management, and gut health in achieving long-term skin wellness.The treatise doesn't just offer theoretical insights; it serves as a practical handbook, featuring actionable strategies, meal plans, and recipes tailored to support gut rejuvenation and promote skin vitality. Nishi's holistic approach intertwines Eastern wisdom with modern scientific understanding, bridging the gap between ancient healing practices and contemporary medical knowledge."About Skin Disease" stands as a beacon of enlightenment, ushering readers towards a holistic approach to health that transcends the limitations of conventional medicine. Nishi's compassionate and authoritative voice guides individuals grappling with skin ailments towards a transformative journey of self-care and holistic healing.In essence, Katsuzo Nishi's treatise serves as a timeless manifesto, illuminating the intricate link between the gut and skin health while offering a holistic blueprint for achieving radiant, glowing skin through nurturing the body's internal harmony. It stands as an indispensable guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the gut-skin connection and a holistic path towards vibrant skin and overall well-being.

David Duchovny"s seventh published - and first poetic - work covers a range of intimate themes and topics, including love, the loss of love, parenting, Duchovny"s own parents (in particular his father, who looms large throughout the work), alienation, and other emotional quandaries. Fans of Duchovny"s fiction will recognize the insightful and clever play of words that, in this new form, distill to an emotionally impactful portrayal of what the author holds most dear. Duchovny"s approach to poetry is beautifully (and, typically, humorously) encapsulated in his introduction to the work, in which he writes: Poetry is not useful. And that is exactly why we need it. It reminds us of two important things: our ultimate lack of agency (unpopular to say, I know) and our inability to say anything plain, our inability to capture what it means to be human with the imperfect tool of words; we come face-to-face with ourselves, for in the end we will all die and be forgotten, and come away with nothing, nothing in the way of utility anyway, no talking points, no bullet points, no propaganda, no resolutions, no policy, no knowledge. If anything, maybe we remember a few lines, take it to heart, the lustres or "touchstones" Matthew Arnold called them, the greatest riffs, and they lie there modestly swaying in the seabed of our mind, barnacled and semi-ghostly; something like an adult nursery rhyme, something like a pop song from the collective unconscious, something like wisdom. You see, I wanted to say it plain, but out comes that torrent of modifiers and adjustments, denials, double negatives, shading, stabs at wit, backpedaling, playing at capturing the lightning. Maybe this time. Maybe that"s what a poem is - maybe this time, that glorious feeling of maybe this time I"ll get it right. If that"s the case, that seems a worthy enterprise to me. You see, I got somewhere, but the way back is unclear - that"s a good enough definition of poetry for now. No, it"s not. Duchovny"s efforts at achieving such clarity range in this collection from laser-sharp, single-sentence poems to emotionally sweeping song lyrics. With About Time - perhaps his most personal work to date - Duchovny continues his journey as one of the most prolific creators of his generation.

Everything that ever was and ever will be, came from the stars.On Dajahim, magic is awarded to those who earn it-who entertain and please the stars. Nova Tershetta was lucky enough to have her prayers answered, and she is now the first person in her known blood-line to possess magic. But all things come with a cost. While Nova now has centuries of life ahead of her as a magic-wielding shaytan, her family of non-magical eadi she treasures more than anything does not. After spending years researching a way to extend their lives, she is ready to take a different step: Elite Academy, which will afford her shadow magic and a chance at a better future for them all. But the elite forces consist of purists who would rather see of eadi like Nova die than so much as exist in a moment of peace or prosperity.Can she survive long enough to complete academy and find a way to extend her family's lives? Or will she, like so many of eadi before her, find that Dajahim is not a safe place for those who don't fit the mold the purists have crafted?
