Aaron (Una storia della serie Sopravvissuti #1)
by J. P. Barnaby Ugo TeleseUna storia della serie SopravvissutiNon riesco a descrivere com'è voler gridare ogni minuto di ogni giorno. Una terribile notte di dolore ha distrutto la sua normale esistenza di adolescente e, due anni dopo, Aaron Downing si appiglia ancora alla speranza che, un giorno, tornerà a sentirsi un essere umano completo e funzionante. La sua vita, però, resta una serie costante di incubi, flashback e paura. Quando, nel primo semestre del college, gli viene assegnato Spencer Thomas come partner per un progetto di programmazione, Aaron decide che forse la 'normalità' è sopravvalutata. Anche solo imparare a controllare la paura gli basterebbe per trovare di nuovo la stabilità. Dopo aver sentito una conversazione dei genitori intenzionati a rinchiuderlo in un istituto -sacrificandolo per il benessere dei suoi fratelli - Aaron cerca disperatamente di trovare un modo di gestire il suo danno psicologico o anche di fingere la normalità. Il suo nuovo psicologo riuscirà a controllare i propri demoni abbastanza a lungo da curare Aaron oppure aggraverà solo la situazione? Cercando disperatamente di comprendere la sua attrazione per Spencer, Aaron si appiglia alla sua sanità mentale con entrambe le mani quando questa minaccia di sfuggire al suo controllo.

by Anthony TrollopeAnd then a day came in which an attempt was made by a large body of convicts, under his leadership, to get the better of the officers of the prison. It is hardly necessary to say that the attempt failed. Such attempts always fail.

Aaron's Leap
by Craig Cravens Magdaléna Platzová"Told in clear and beautiful prose, Aaron's Leap is a deeply moving portrait of love, sacrifice, and the transformative power of art in a time of brutal uncertainty." -SIMON VAN BOOY, author of The Illusion of SeparatenessBased on the real-life story of Bauhaus artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Aaron's Leap is framed by the lens of a twenty first-century Israeli film crew delving into the extraordinary life of a woman who taught art to children in the Nazi transport camp of Terezín and died in Auschwitz. Aided by the granddaughter of one of the artist's pupils, the filmmakers begin to uncover buried secrets from a time when personal and artistic decisions became matters of life-and-death. Spanning a century of Central European history, the novel evokes the founding impulses, theories, and personalities of the European Modernist movement (with characters modeled after Oskar Kokoschka, Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel) and shows what it takes to grapple with a troubled history, "leap" into the unknown, and dare to be oneself.Magdaléna Platzová was raised in Prague and has lived in Washington, DC and New York City, where she taught literature at NYU, and now lives in Lyon, France. She is the author of a children's book, two collections of short stories, and three novels, including Aaron's Leap, a Lidové Noviny Book of the Year Award finalist, hailed by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as a novel that "must be counted among the best written by contemporary Czech writers." It is her first book to be published in English.

Aaron's Rod

LawrenceWritten in the years following World War I and set in postwar England and Italy, Aaron's Rod questions many of the accepted social and political institutions of Lawrence's generation, and raises issues as valid for our own time as they were for his.

Aatank: आतंक
by Jack Straw“आतंक” जैक स्ट्रॉ द्वारा लिखी गई एक रहस्य और रोमांच से भरपूर कहानी है, जो पाठकों को सस्पेंस और जटिल पात्रों के जाल में बांधे रखती है। कहानी की शुरुआत जेम्स मेरेडिथ नामक व्यक्ति के साथ होती है, जिसे फर्डिनेंड बुलफोर्ड की हत्या का दोषी ठहराया जाता है। मेरेडिथ को एक ईर्ष्यालु प्रेमी के रूप में पेश किया जाता है, जिसने अपने प्रतिद्वंद्वी को मौत के घाट उतार दिया। हालांकि, अदालती साक्ष्य और गवाहों के बावजूद, यह पूरी तरह स्पष्ट नहीं होता कि असली अपराधी कौन है। कहानी में जेम्स की मंगेतर जीन ब्रिगेरलैंड की भूमिका भी महत्वपूर्ण है, जो कहानी में रहस्य और जटिलता जोड़ती है। जीन एक ऐसी महिला के रूप में चित्रित की गई है जो मेरेडिथ के लिए अपने प्रेम का दावा करती है, लेकिन उसके इरादे संदिग्ध हैं। जीन के प्रति जैक ग्लोवर, जो कि मेरेडिथ का वकील है, बेहद सतर्क रहता है। ग्लोवर को संदेह है कि जीन इस साजिश का असली मास्टरमाइंड हो सकती है, और वह मेरेडिथ को बचाने के लिए किसी भी हद तक जाने को तैयार है। कहानी के केंद्र में यह प्रश्न है कि क्या वास्तव में मेरेडिथ अपराधी है, या फिर वह एक गहरी साजिश का शिकार हुआ है? जैक स्ट्रॉ ने इस उपन्यास के माध्यम से धोखा, प्रेम, ईर्ष्या, और विश्वासघात के जटिल पहलुओं को बखूबी उकेरा है। कहानी का हर मोड़ पाठक को चौंकाता है और अंत तक सस्पेंस बनाए रखता है। यह उपन्यास उन परिस्थितियों की पड़ताल करता है जहां सच्चाई और झूठ के बीच की रेखा धुंधली हो जाती है। "आतंक" एक ऐसी कहानी है जो न्याय और अन्याय के बीच की जटिलताओं को समझने का प्रयास करती है, और पाठकों को अंत तक सस्पेंस में डूबा रखती है।

Abū al-Qāsim al-Shābbī’s Arab Poetic Imagination: A Critical Evaluation and Translation (Culture and Civilization in the Middle East)
by Ronak HusniThis timely book critically evaluates the life, work and milieu of the Tunisian poet, Abū al-Qāsim al-Shābbī (1909-1934), providing translations and detailed commentaries around his seminal work “al-Khayāl al-ShiꜤrī ʿinda al-ʿArab” (“Arabic Poetic Imagination").The volume delves into the profound essence of one of Tunisia’s most iconic poets, a seminal figure in Arab literary modernism, celebrated for his fervent and transformative verses that continue to inspire audiences worldwide, far surpassing the boundaries of the Arab-speaking realm. This book not only presents meticulous translations of al-Shābbī’s significant poetic works, but also analyses the recurring themes and styles that define his oeuvre, offering insights into his lasting impact. The book contextualises al-Shābbī within the socio-political turbulence of early 20th century Tunisia, a period marked by profound changes that shaped his artistic outlook. It explores his deep engagement with both romantic and modernist motifs, seamlessly weaving together elements of nationalism, existentialist conflict, and a steadfast vision for a liberated Arab world. Furthermore, the critical commentaries in the book illuminate the array of poets and philosophical concepts that al-Shābbī references, directing readers to additional resources on both Arab and Western literary figures he discusses, enriching our appreciation of his intellectual interplay and deepening our understanding of his scholarly pursuits.This volume will be of pivotal interest for scholars, students and academics of Modern and Classical Arabic Literature, as well as those with an interest in these topic areas more generally.
