La quasi luna

release date: Jun 14, 2018
La quasi luna
«Alla fin fine, ammazzare mia madre mi è venuto facile. La demenza, via via che scende, ha un modo tutto suo di rivelare la sostanza della persona che ne è affetta. La sostanza di mia madre era marcia come l’acqua stagnante in fondo a un vaso di fiori vecchi di settimane. Quando mio padre la conobbe era bellissima, e ancora capace d’amare quando divenni la loro figlia tardiva; ma al momento in cui quel giorno alzò gli occhi a guardarmi, questo non contava più niente». Dopo aver ucciso sua madre – per pietà o per odio o per un estremo e aberrante tentativo di cercare l’amore mai trovato – Helen precipita in uno scenario totalmente inatteso, divisa tra fuga, pentimento, disperate richieste d’aiuto alle figlie e all’ex marito, necessità di capire il proprio gesto e di ripercorrere in poche ore le sequenze e i segreti di una vita. Un thriller esistenziale che mozza il fiato, ma anche una grandiosa ricostruzione della sinfonia di affetti e di tragedie che è la vita familiare.

Uma vida interrompida
"Intensamente sábia e deslumbrantemente escrita, esta obra é uma leitura compulsiva e comovente. Invejo o leitor prestes a se lançar pela primeira vez no mundo de Susie Salmon e de sua incrível família." — Aimee Bender, autora de A peculiar tristeza guardada num bolo de limão"Alice Sebold nos deu um misto de fábula e fantasia dotado de grande autoridade, charme e ousadia. É uma autora singular." — Jonathan Franzen, autor de Liberdade e As correções"Ambientado em um céu tão verossímil e possível quanto a Terra é misteriosa e instável, Uma vida interrompida explora sem afetação, com carinho e argúcia, o romance da vida familiar, a turbulência tímida e engraçada da adolescência e as dolorosas marcas que o amor e a perda deixam em nosso mundo." — Amy Bloom, autora de Longe daqui"Uma vida interrompida foi uma das experiências mais intrigantes que tive como leitor. Dolorosamente engraçado, de uma dureza revigorante, terrivelmente triste, o livro é um feito da imaginação e um tributo ao poder curativo da dor." — Michael Chabon, autor de The Amazing Adventures of Kavatier and Clay"Destinado a se tornar um clássico." — Anna Quindlen, autora de Até o fim e Bom menino. Junto.Quando conhecemos Susie Salmon, ela já está no céu.

In 2001, Nick Brandt embarked on an ambitious photographic project, a trilogy of books memorializing the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. Focusing on some of the worlds last great populations of large mammals elephants, giraffes, lions, gorillas and their kin he created two of the new century's most influential photographic books: On This Earth (2005) and A Shadow Falls (2009). His iconic portraits of these majestic animals express an empathy usually reserved for human subjects. The magisterial On This Earth, A Shadow Falls collects the most memorable images from Brandt's first two books, along with their accompanying essays. A testament to the bookmakers craft, it is the first volume on Brandt's work to capture the superb quality of his remarkable, large format prints, which are notable for their velvet blacks and tonal subtleties.

Lucky
The timeless, fearless, #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from the author of The Lovely Bones—a powerful account of her sexual assault at the age of eighteen and the harrowing trial that followed, now with a new afterword by the author. In a memoir hailed for its searing candor, as well as its wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What ultimately propels this chronicle of sexual assault and its aftermath is Sebold’s indomitable spirit, as she fights to secure her rapist’s arrest and conviction and comes to terms with a relationship to the world that has forever changed. With over a million copies in print, Lucky has touched the lives of a generation of readers. Sebold illuminates the experience of trauma victims and imparts a wisdom profoundly hard-won: “You save yourself or you remain unsaved.” Now reissued with a new afterword by the author, her story remains as urgent as it was when it was first published more than twenty years ago.
