Азиатский литературный феномен 90-х годов • Более волшебный, чем мистика, более увлекательный для чтения, чем Рушди, более волнующий воображение, чем Найпол, - вот, пожалуй, величайший индийский роман, написанный женщиной. Арундхати Рой написала удивительно насыщенный, плодотворный роман, изобилующий жизнью, красками, захватывающим языком, ироничной комедией и намеком на магический реализм • Действие "Бога мелочей" разворачивается на фоне политической турбулентности в штате Керала, на юге Индии, и рассказывает историю близнецов Эстаппена и Рахель. Среди чанов с банановым джемом и горстей перца горошком на фабрике своей бабушки они пытаются создать для себя детство среди того, что составляет их семью - их одинокой, милой матери, их любимого дяди Чакко (соленый барон, радикальный марксист и любитель пощипывать дно) и их заклятого врага Крошки Кочаммы (экс-монахиня и действующая двоюродная бабушка) подробнее

Дебютный роман Арундати Рой, который заслуженно сравнивают с произведениями Фолкнера и Диккенса, - это современная классика, которую читают и любят по всему миру. Глубокая семейная сага, история запретной любви и пронзительная политическая драма, эта книга рассказывает о зажиточной индийской семье, жизнь которой раз и навсегда меняется в один судьбоносный день 1969 года. Приезд старшей двоюродной сестры Софи сотрясает мир семилетних близнецов Эсты и Рахель и приводит к случайным - и неслучайным - трагическим последствиям, которые учат их тому, что все вокруг может внезапно принять новые, уродливые формы и даже навсегда замереть на месте, - и лишь река будет продолжать нести свои воды • Тонкий, лиричный, трогающий до глубины души, роман "Бог Мелочей" стал литературным маяком и принес прекрасной Арундати Рой славу талантливейшего прозаика современности

Virago The Room Of Lost Things Duffy Stella

Under his railway arch in Loughborough Junction, South London, Robert Sutton is taking leave of a lifetime of hard work.

Humming with life, packed tight with detail, The Room of Lost Things is a hymn of love to a great and overflowing city, and a profoundly human story that holds us in its grip from the first sentence until the last

Every time you think you know the answer to a question, you discover that the question makes no sense . . .’ • This is the story of Anna Blume and her journey to find her lost brother, William, in the unnamed City. Like the City itself, however, it is a journey that is doomed, and so all that is left is Anna’s unwritten account of what happened • Paul Auster takes us to an unspecified and devastated world in which the self disappears amidst the horrors that surround us. But this is not just an imaginary, futuristic world: like the settings of Kafka stories, it is one that echoes our own, and in doing so addresses some of our darker legacies • In the Country of Last Things is a tense, psychological take on the dystopian novel

‘If there is one dominant myth about the world, one huge mistake we all make … it is that we all go around assuming the world is much more of a planned place than it is.’ • From the industrial revolution and the rise of China, to urbanisation and the birth of bitcoin, Matt Ridley demolishes conventional assumptions that the great events and trends of our day are dictated by those on high. On the contrary, our most important achievements develop from the ground up. In this wide-ranging and erudite book, Matt Ridley brilliantly makes the case for evolution as the force that has shaped much of our culture, our minds, and that even now is shaping our future • As compelling as it is controversial, as authoritative as it is ambitious, Ridley’s deeply thought-provoking book will change the way we think about the world and how it works
