'There is in this world a kind of desire like stinging pain'A Japanese teenager is overcome with longing for his male classmate. He imagines his body punctured with arrows, like the body of St Sebastian in the painting that obsesses him. Over and over again, each night in his private fantasies, the objects of his lust are tortured, killed and maimed.But, in the rigid world of imperial wartime Japan there is no place for such transgressive desires. He must wear a false mask and hide his true nature, whatever the cost.

Anthony C. Yu's translation of "The Journey to the West", initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, "The Journey to the West" tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China's most famous religious heroes, and his four supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canon is by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy. With one hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, "The Journey to the West" has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added much new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions.He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

*Updated with a new introduction* Journalist Rebecca Traisters New York Times bestselling exploration of the transformative power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement is a hopeful, maddening compendium of righteous feminine anger, and the good it can do when wielded efficientlyand collectively (Vanity Fair).Long before Pantsuit Nation, before the Womens March, and before the #MeToo movement, womens anger was not only politically catalyticbut politically problematic. The story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates its crucial role in womens slow rise to political power in America, as well as the ways that anger is received when it comes from women as opposed to when it comes from men. Urgent, enlightened realistic and compelling Traister eloquently highlights the challenge of blaming not just forces and systems, but individuals (The Washington Post). In Good and Mad, Traister tracks the history of female anger as political fuelfrom suffragettes marching on the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Traister explores womens anger at both men and other women; anger between ideological allies and foes; the varied ways anger is received based on whos expressing it; and the way womens collective fury has become transformative political fuel. She deconstructs societys (and the medias) condemnation of female emotion (especially rage) and the impact of their resulting repercussions. Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against women by all sexes, and its disastrous, stultifying effect, Good and Mad is perfectly timed and inspiring (People, Book of the Week). This admirably rousing narrative (The Atlantic) offers a glimpse into the galvanizing force of womens collective anger, which, when harnessed, can change history. Autorid: Rebecca Traister
