In this luminous novel—winner of Britain’s prestigious Booker Prize—John Berger relates the story of “G.,” a young man forging an energetic sexual career in Europe during the early years of this century. With profound compassion, Berger explores the hearts and minds of both men and women, and what happens during sex, to reveal the conditions of the Don Juan’s success: his essential loneliness, the quiet cumulation in each of his sexual experiences of all of those that precede it, the tenderness that infuses even the briefest of his encounters, and the way women experience their own extraordinariness through their moments with him.

All of this Berger sets against the turbulent backdrop of Garibaldi and the failed revolution of Milanese workers in 1898, the Boer War, and the first flight across the Alps, making G. a brilliant novel about the search for intimacy in history’s private moments.

The protagonist of this novel is a 15-year-old North London schoolboy called Gabriel. He is forced to come to terms with a new life, and use his gift for painting in order to make sense of his world, once the equilibrium of the family has been shattered by his father's departure.

Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption. When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide. An intriguing and sinful exploration of seduction, forbidden love and redemption, "Gabriel's Inferno" is a captivating and wildly passionate tale of one man's escape from his own personal hell as he tries to earn the impossible…forgiveness and love.

This memoir and literary travelogue from one of the UK’s most esteemed novelists offers rare insight into Cold War-era Russia.

In 1967, seeking an escape from his writing life, bestselling British novelist Alan Sillitoe embarks on a road trip from England to Russia via Harwich and Finland in his sturdy Peugeot. During his teens, the author had a cartographic fascination with the Battle of Stalingrad, and decades later he is still armed with intricate maps of the country based on British military intelligence, including one of the road from Leningrad to Moscow to Kiev, which he drew himself. Also in tow are a prismatic compass, binoculars, and a shortwave radio receiver. However, despite being so well prepared, Sillitoe embarks with naiveté about the political precariousness of an Englishman in the eyes of the Soviet regime.

After passing through the endless days of a Scandinavian summer and a prolonged stop at a border control checkpoint — with his maps hidden in a secret compartment of the car — Sillitoe arrives in Leningrad. There, he meets George Andjaparidze, a worldly and candid English student who has been assigned by the Writers’ Union to serve as the author’s guide and keep him out of trouble. Though Sillitoe would rather continue his journey solo, Andjaparidze grows on him, and they begin what will become a lasting friendship.

As soon as the duo leaves Leningrad, adventures and misadventures ensue. En route to Moscow, Sillitoe and Andjaparidze end up racing a pack of middle-age men in German sports cars partaking in a Berlin-to-Moscow rally. Sillitoe and Andjaparidze’s time in the capital is equally fast-paced, consisting of late nights fueled by vodka, impounded rubles, caviar breakfasts, erudite parties, and a pat on the back from a traffic cop for writing about the working class. A winding drive across western Russia and into Yugoslavia follows, replete with rebellious literature students, a speech on freedom, a visit to Tolstoy’s estate, accusations of espionage, and a near-fatal run-in with a brigade of Red Army tanks.

At last the writer and guide reach their destination: Kursk, that fateful place where a Soviet victory in 1943 turned back the Nazi tide. But the story continues long after the road trip ends. Back in England, Andjaparidze visits Sillitoe and the two are caught up in a controversy surrounding the defection of the Soviet writer Anatoly Kuznetsov.

Written from the perspective of another trip to Russia forty years later (Sillitoe was invited in 2005 by the British Council to return to Moscow), this travelogue provides a rare and intimate look at the country’s history, a compassionate understanding of its troubled ideology, and a frank portrayal of its undeniable lure.

Derrière l’interprète de Je t’aime… Moi non plus, qui fit scandale et conquit la planète en 1969, se cache un Gainsbourg plus secret. C’est l’homme intime que révèle Franck Maubert, son histoire et ses goûts. Si, pour Serge Gainsbourg, il y avait les arts majeurs et les arts mineurs, il ne s’est illustré, à son grand regret, que dans la chanson. Il s’ouvrait peu sur son destin de peintre contrarié, qui a persévéré dans cette voie jusqu’en 1957, année où Boris Vian lance sa carrière.

Son admiration pour les chefs-d’œuvre des maîtres suscite l’intérêt d’un jeune critique d’art, Franck Maubert. Leur rencontre les lie en 1985. Gainsbourg a trouvé à qui parler peinture, dandysme, esthétique. Ensemble ils passeront des journées chez lui, rue de Verneuil, visiteront le Louvre, feront la tournée des grands ducs… Ce livre retrace le parcours d’un artiste hors norme, qui a traversé non seulement la chanson, mais aussi l’écriture, la photographie, le cinéma. Il montre la force d’un créateur et d’un poète qui a marqué son époque et influence encore, loin des clichés, la musique d’aujourd’hui.

Franck Maubert (prix Renaudot essai 2012 pour Le Dernier modèle, Mille et une nuits) est écrivain, auteur de romans (dernièrement, Ville close, Écriture, 2013) et de nombreux livres d’art (dont Maeght, une aventure de l’art vivant, avec Y. et I. Maeght, La Martinière, 2006).

It was the highest and most coveted award of all time. It was given to only the bravest among those defending Earth from the mysterious Kradens. Many had sacrificed their lives for it. The current bearer of the medal became the idol of all mankind—a man above the law, a man who would never want for anything. One man was going to cheat to win it—and live to regret it.

This is an extended version of the novelette Medal of Honor first published in Amazing Stories magazine in Nov 1960.

Gurronsevas, olbrzymi sześcionożny obcy, jest powszechnie znany jako najlepszy w Galaktyce szef kuchni. Jednak u szczytu swej kariery odkrywa, że sława, honor i armie pochlebców to za mało. Pragnie nowego wyzwania. Wyzwania na miarę wielkości swego ciała, talentu i pychy. Tylko Szpital Kosmiczny — potężny kompleks, w którym leczą i są leczeni zarówno ludzie, jak i obcy — pozwala na realizację takich marzeń. Gurronsevas, obecnie Naczelny Dietetyk, postanawia zrobić coś, co nie udało się przed nim żadnemu kucharzowi: chce sprawić, by szpitalne jedzenie było smaczne. Tylko czy pacjenci to przeżyją?

Dans le numéro spécial de Lire (plus de 800 pages) qu'il a consacré à San-Antonio et qui s'intitule : SAN-ANTONIO, son vit, son œuvre, Bernard Pivot a écrit dans sa brillante introduction que San-Antonio était le plus grand écrivain de langue française après Shakespeare.

Le célèbre journaliste, monarque incontesté de la littérature actuelle, vient de nous adresser un rectificatif pour nous dire sa crainte de voir cet « après » mal interprété et créer une notion de subalternité dont San-Antonio aurait à souffrir par rapport à Shakespeare ; il préférerait substituer à son « après » la préposition « depuis », qu'il juge moins équivoque.

Nous le remercions pour sa grande probité morale et espérons que le présent ouvrage renforcera encore son admiration pour l'immense écrivain.

Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin is on vacation when her Djinn lover, David, asks Joanne to marry him. She's thrilled to say yes, even if some others may be less than happy about it.

1800 — Der Krieg England gegen Napoleon droht auf Dänemark überzugreifen. Konteradmiral Richard Bolitho operiert deshalb mit seinem Geschwader in der Ostsee, und zwar zugleich gegen Dänen, Russen und Franzosen. Besonders die Befreiung englischer Handelsschiffe bei Gotland und der Angriff auf Kopenhagen sind Bewährungsproben für das Flaggschiff «Benbow» und seinen jungen Admiral, der hier auch nach vielen Schicksalsschlägen wieder ein privates Glück findet.

Zhang Jie trata en sus libros problemas de actualidad como la corrupción, la burocracia o los cambios económicos, con unos principios literarios que no están en realidad muy lejanos del realismo y el didactismo que imperaba en la China maoísta. Una de sus novelas más representativas es Galera (Fang zhou), crónica de tres mujeres mayores 40 años en la China de finales del siglo XX las tres marcadas por el divorcio y por un entorno que a pesar de los cambios revolucionarios y de las reformas modernizadoras sigue siendo hostil a la mujer que escapa a los papeles tradicionales familiares. Lo que salva una literatura como la de Zhang Jie, que tiene todos los números para convertirse en un aburrido excurso sociológico, es la gracia sutil de una escritura aferrada a las pequeñas cosas y a la vida cotidiana. El feminismo de manual queda atemperado por la capacidad de dar vida al mundo que recrea.

The stories of Gallatin Canyon are rich in the wit, compassion, and matchless language for which Thomas McGuane is celebrated.

Place exerts the power of destiny in these tales: a boy makes a surprising discovery skating at night on Lake Michigan; an Irish clan in Massachusetts gather around their dying matriarch; a battered survivor of the glory days of Key West washes up on other shores. Several of the stories unfold in Big Sky country: a father tries to buy his adult son’s way out of virginity; a convict turns cowhand on a ranch; a couple makes a fateful drive through a perilous gorge. McGuane's people are seekers, beguiled by the land's beauty and myth, compelled by the fantasy of what a locale can offer, forced to reconcile dream and truth.

Gallegher invents a machine that solves three problems at ones. But what exactly?

When the Kzinti take over of a patrol ship in the vicinity of Earth, a female crew dietician helps to defeat the invaders by reprogramming the food synthesizers to weaken her foes.

First published in Analog in August 1996, this is an “authorized Man-Kzin Wars story” set in Larry Niven’s universe and part volume VIII of “Man-Kzin Wars” series.

A century has now gone by, yet the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16 is still infamous as arguably the most ill conceived, badly led and pointless campaign of the entire First World War. The brainchild of Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, following Turkey’s entry into the war on the German side, its ultimate objective was to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in western Turkey, thus allowing the Allies to take control of the eastern Mediterranean and increase pressure on the Central Powers to drain manpower from the vital Western Front.

In this first Inspector Banks novel, a peeping tom is frightening the women of Eastvale; two young thugs are breaking into homes; and an old woman may or may not have been murdered. Inspector Banks investigates these cases, which weave together as the story reaches a tense climax.

In the final days of World War II, a mysterious German U-boat was seen by a United States naval vessel in the Atlantic Ocean, just north of South America.

Before the ship could fire upon the sub, it vanished.

History tells us that, after the war, the German high command scattered across world hoping to evade punishment for their crimes.

What it doesn't tell us is what they took with them.

Priceless paintings?

Rare sculptures?

Vast treasures?

Many of these things have been discovered but there is one that remains hidden. It was one of the most well-hidden, secretive experiments the Nazis carried out during the war and now someone is trying to unearth it.

If they succeed, it could bring civilization to its knees.
