Quand Murakami avait cinq ou six ans, lui et son père sont partis en vélo abandonner un chat sur la plage. Pourquoi ne pas le garder, que se sont-ils dits, était-ce un moment triste, tout cela, Murakami ne s'en souvient plus. Ce dont il se souvient en revanche, c'est que quand lui et son père sont rentrés à la maison, le chat était là. Et que sur le visage de son père, il y avait de la surprise, de l'admiration et du soulagement.

The power, anger and fluency of Liang Qichao's writings make him one of the towering figures in modern Chinese literature. He saw his great, almost unmanageable task as an attempt to write China into the new era - to provide an ancient country, devastated by civil war and foreign predators, with the intellectual equipment to renew itself. This selection of pieces shows Liang's extraordinary range and the burning sense of mission which drove him on, attempting to galvanize and refresh an entire nation.

Tomorrow Someone Will Arrest You cements Meena Kandasamy as one of the most exciting, radical thinkers at work today. These poems chronicle wanting, art-making, and the practicing of resistance and solidarity in the face of a hostile state. Here, the personal is political, and Kandasamy moves between sex, desire, family and wider societal issues of caste, the refugee crisis, and freedom of expression with grace and defiance. This is a bold, unforgettable collection by a poet who compels us to sit up and listen.

Middle class, middle aged, multicultural mother of millennial sons, Sudha lives a ‘squeezed middle’ life in Wimbledon. As she navigates her career, family and returning to India as a NRI (Non-Resident Indian), she is prompted to investigate her own sense of home and place in the world.

New Delhi, 3 heures du matin. Une Mercedes roulant à vive allure manque un virage et, en un instant, cinq personnes sont tuées. C'est la voiture d'un homme riche. Mais lorsque la poussière retombe, le chauffeur s'avère n'être qu'un domestique en état de choc qui ne peut expliquer l'étrange série d'événements qui a mené à ce crime. Tout comme il ne peut prévoir le drame qui est sur le point de se dérouler.

Unsung, Arunoday Singh’s first volume of poetry, presents a collection of his most popular work alongside new material, where he delves inwards and probes questions of love, loss, longing—everything that ails the human heart. He has amassed a large, involved following on Instagram, where he shares his poetry in handwritten calligraphy under the handle @sufisoul. The poems are deceptively simple and intensely piercing. They are divided into four sections that explore the themes of the self, the elements, breaking and healing, the search for divinity, and the light and darkness of the spirit.

Questo audiolibro è nato per goliardia e per far felici gli amici e le persone più care. L'autore-curatore-lettore mette a testo una serie di strampalati ma divertenti componimenti poetici, ora in forma di haiku incerti e zoppicanti, ora in quella di sonetti petrarchisti tradizionalmente intesi, attribuendone la paternità al fantomatico Makaga-to Ukatzu, con tanto di studio critico introduttivo.
