But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of divinity, and is scorned and rejected by her kin. Increasingly isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft.
When love drives Circe to cast a dark spell, wrathful Zeus banishes her to the remote island of Aiaia. There she learns to harness her occult craft, drawing strength from nature. But she will not always be alone; many are destined to pass through Circe's place of exile, entwining their fates with hers. The messenger god, Hermes. The craftsman, Daedalus. A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily Odysseus, on his epic voyage home.
There is danger for a solitary woman in this world, and Circe's independence draws the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
Breathing life into the ancient world, Madeline Miller weaves an intoxicating tale of gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation.

«Diana Wood's quest to reignite her sensual past while navigating the confines of her current marriage is funny and sexy?. Dirty Diana is wildly seductive-?perfect for anyone who loved The Idea of You.»-Renée Carlino, bestselling author of Before We Were Strangers and This Used to Be Us
Diana Wood has a job she likes and a husband, Oliver, she loves. Together, they have a daughter they adore. She and Oliver spend so much time together that they even carpool to work in the same office. They're in married love, which isn't exactly the same as love love, but it's fine.
Or is it? Is fine good enough?
Diana and Oliver haven't had sex in months, and their intimacy seems more like a memory than a reality. The cozy trappings of Diana's life in Dallas, Texas, have become ever-more confining. She is restless, growing more distant from Oliver by the day.
A trip to see an old friend in Santa Fe prompts Diana to remember the woman she used to be: an aspiring artist; someone devoted to creativity, spontaneity, sensuality. In her past-especially with Jasper, the dashing photographer with whom she once had an unforgettable love affair-Diana let herself fantasize, she let her body lead the way. She was wholly . . . alive.
Returning to Dallas, Diana decides to rediscover the deeply feeling woman she once was. She begins interviewing other women, painting their portraits as they speak. She encourages them to give voice to their secret desires as she captures their deepest, innermost fantasies. But is it possible for Diana to reclaim her more sensual self and maintain the marriage she committed to? What if connecting to her own desires means dissolving the safe life she's so carefully cultivated? -

Ahora una serie de Netflix. Nueva edición del gran fenómeno editorial: La catedral del mar , de Ildefonso Falcones, con prólogo del autor. Una catedral construida por el pueblo y para el pueblo en la Barcelona medieval es el escenario de una apasionante historia de intriga, violencia y pasión. Siglo XIV. La ciudad de Barcelona se encuentra en su momento de mayor prosperidad; ha crecido hacia la Ribera, el humilde barrio de los pescadores, cuyos habitantes deciden construir, con el dinero de unos y el esfuerzo de otros, el mayor templo mariano jamás conocido: Santa María de la Mar. Una construcción que es paralela a la azarosa historia de Arnau, un siervo de la tierra que huye de los abusos de su señor feudal y se refugia en Barcelona, donde se convierte en ciudadano y, con ello, en hombre libre. El joven Arnau trabaja como palafrenero, estibador, soldado y cambista. Una vida extenuante, siempre al amparo de la catedral de la mar, que le iba a llevar de la miseria del fugitivo a la nobleza y la riqueza. Pero con esta posición privilegiada también le llega la envidia de sus pares, que urden una sórdida conjura que pone su vida en manos de la Inquisición. La catedral del mar es una trama en la que se entrecruzan lealtad y venganza, traición y amor, guerra y peste, en un mundo marcado por la intolerancia religiosa, la ambición material y la segregación social. Todo ello convierte esta obra no sólo en una novela absorbente, sino también en la más fascinante y ambiciosa recreación de las luces y sombras de la época feudal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Now a Netflix Series. An unforgettable fresco of a golden age in fourteenth-century Barcelona, Cathedral of the Sea is a thrilling historical novel of friendship and revenge, plague and hope, love and war. Arnau Estanyol arrives in Barcelona to find a city dominated by the construction of the citys great pride--the cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar--and by its shame, the deadly Inquisition. As a young man, Arnau joins the powerful guild of stoneworkers and helps to build the church with his own hands, while his best friend and adopted brother Joanet studies to become a priest. With time, Arnau prospers and falls secretly in love with a forbidden woman. But when he is betrayed and hauled before the Inquisitor, he finds himself face-to-face with Joanet. Will he lose his life just as his beloved Cathedral of the Sea is finally completed, or will his brother save him?

Histoire de Dame Pak fait partie des premières grandes oeuvres de la littérature romanesque féminine écrites en hangeul (l'écriture coréenne créée au XVIe siècle puis interdite et utilisée essentiellement par les femmes jusqu'à sa réhabilitation au XIXe siècle).
L'histoire met en scène le fils d'un grand lettré, le Kong Li et la fille d'un ermite du nom de Pak, lettré très connu pour sa connaissance du Tao. L'ermite fait part au Kong du souhait qu'il a de voir se conclure un mariage entre leurs enfants. Celui-ci, sensible à l'autorité spirituelle de l'ermite, accepte et le mariage est conclu et célébré. Mais le soir des noces, le jeune époux, effaré par la terrible laideur de sa femme, s'enfuit épouvanté. Dame Pak, seule, triste et négligée, demande à son beau-père de lui faire construire une jolie villa entourée d'un beau jardin. Là, elle se livre tout entière à l'étude des grands textes et approfondit son savoir en toutes choses. Sa grande sagacité va lui permettre de favoriser la réussite de son mari et à trouver des solutions propres à sauver le pays des envahisseurs Hou. Dame Pak se métamorphose alors en une jeune femme d'une beauté exceptionnelle.

« Je ne vois par le monde que les gens portant capuce. Chacun vole se faire frère, chacun veut le capuce. Après qu'ils ont joue leur argent, vidé leur bourse, quand le pain manque dans la corbeille et le vin dans le baril, ils se ruent chez les frères, et on leur donne aussitôt le capuce. Ils ont partout ces frères, partout, ces capuces : on ne sait pas qui ils sont, et nul n'arrive à distinguer tant de formes et tant de couleurs de robes. Il en est de bleu foncé, de noirs et de bruns, des blancs, des roux, des gris et des cendrés. Telle est à tout bout de champ la variété de ces frères, que je distingue mal qui est du Christ, et qui est de Mahomet. Autant d'étoiles au ciel, de feuilles dans les forêts, autant de règles chez les frères, autant de capuces. Si je voyage par voie de terre, je vois des capuces. Je regarde les places d'armes, j'y vois des capuces. J'entre sur la place, dans une barque, à la taverne, aussitôt devant mes yeux je vois quelque capuce. Je ne vois par les rues que capuces trotter. » (Baldus VIII, 475-494.)Mario Chiesa est professeur de littérature italienne à la faculté de langues et littératures étrangères de l'Université de Turin.Gérard Genot et Paul Larivaille sont professeurs émérites à l'Université de Paris X - Nanterre.

Un encuentro fortuito en medio de un cataclismo, seguido por anos de separación, exilio, campos de concentración e improbables reencuentros. Una novela sobre la amistad y el amor, durante y después de la guerra civil espanola. Basada en hechos reales, esta novela ilustrada aborda el silencioso exilio en Francia durante una larga dictadura que desgarró el pais, pero también los campos de trabajos forzados y los desaparecidos. Es un tributo a los héroes humildes, de un lado y otro, que, una vez el conflicto pasado en primera linea y sus largas penas superadas, logran encontrarse con emoción y sencillez. Cada uno ha guardado en lo mas profundo de si mismo su guerra civil. En ese momento, pasa a ser nuestra guerra civil.

Bien que resté célèbre depuis des décennies comme l'un des « livres les plus "sales" du monde », le premier et unique roman de Steve Cannon, Groove, Bang and Jive Around, n'a pratiquement pas été lu depuis sa première publication par la maison d'édition parisienne Ophelia Press en 1969. En raison de sa rareté, le New York Press l'a qualifié de « classique underground d'une telle stature légendaire que les connaisseurs noirs de New York ont transformé l'oeuvre en mythe urbain ». Ce premier ouvrage, révisé pour être publié par Olympia Press en 1971, a cimenté la place de Cannon en tant que pilier de l'East Village et figure clé de l'avant-garde noire new-yorkaise, encourageant une génération à rompre avec le modernisme littéraire statique, selon l'ami et collaborateur de Cannon, Ishmael Reed, pour qui sa publication « a marqué la résurgence de la tradition irrévérencieuse et souterraine de la littérature noire ». Imprégnée de psychédélisme et de hoodoo, cette farce érotique suit Anette, une fugueuse de quatorze ans, une Juliette sadienne moderne, depuis les toilettes extérieures d'un juke joint de la Nouvelle-Orléans jusqu'au pays d'Oo-bla-dee, un royaume d'autodétermination bacchanale fondé par Dizzy Gillespie. Inspiré à la fois par Chester Himes et par la libération des femmes, l'auteur affirmait que Groove, Bang and Jive Around est une nécessité absolue « pour tous ceux qui veulent savoir où et comment se déroule l'action dans le Sex and Soul ».

Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane's sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel-a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her "mulatto War and Peace." Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.
But things don't work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a "real writer," and together they begin to develop "the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies." Things finally seem to be going right for Jane-until they go terribly wrong.
Funny, piercing, and page turning, Colored Television is Senna's most on-the-pulse, ambitious, and rewarding novel yet.
