The Peppered Moth
by Margaret DrabbleThe prize-winning author of The Dark Flood Rises offers an &“absorbing&” portrait of three generations of women—inspired by her own family (The New York Times Book Review). In the early 1900s, young Bessie Bawtry grows up in a mining town in South Yorkshire, England. Unusually gifted, she longs to escape a life burdened by unquestioned tradition. She studies patiently, dreaming of the day when she will take the entrance exam for Cambridge and leave her narrow world. A generation later, Bessie&’s daughter Chrissie feels a similar impulse to expand her horizons, which she in turn passes on to her own daughter. Nearly a century after that, Bessie&’s granddaughter finds herself listening to a lecture on genetics and biological determinism. She has returned to Breaseborough and wonders at the families who remained in the humble little town where Bessie grew up. Confronted with what would have been her life had her grandmother stayed, she finds herself faced with difficult questions. Is she really so different from the plain South Yorkshire locals? As she soon learns, the past has a way of reasserting itself—not unlike the peppered moth that was once thought to be nearing extinction but is now enjoying a sudden and unexplained resurgence. With The Peppered Moth, the acclaimed author of The Seven Sisters conjures a captivating work of semi-fiction, grappling with her memory of her own mother and the indelible mark of family and heredity.

Pequeño país
by Gaël FayeEste «pequeño libro» fue la sensación literaria en Francia en 2016 Escrita con un tono muy cercano y poético, Gaël Faye nos transporta en esta espléndida novela al corazón del continente africano para contarnos qué sucede cuando la Historia se introduce en nuestras vidas y las cambia de forma irreparable. Hijo de una ruandesa tutsi y un empresario francés instalado en Burundi, Gaby tiene diez años y se pasa el día con su panda de amigos en las calles de Buyumbura, un escenario propicio a todo tipo de aventuras: robar mangos en los jardines del barrio, fumar a escondidas, descubrir la pasión por los libros en la casa de una extravagante vecina y bañarse en el río al atardecer. Un paraíso que empieza a resquebrajarse con la separación de sus padres y luego se rompe en mil pedazos con la irrupción de la guerra, que provoca una marea incontenible de odio y violencia que lo impregna todo y obliga a Gabriel y su hermana a marcharse a Francia. Dos décadas después, aquel niño convertido en hombre regresa a su pequeño país y rememora los tiempos felices: el perfume de los árboles frutales y las plantas aromáticas, los paseos vespertinos entre los setos de buganvillas, las noches en vela tras un mosquitero agujereado, las termitas los días de tormenta, las reuniones secretas en la furgoneta abandonada. Una existencia sencilla, apacible, banal, cuyo recuerdo impulsa a Gabriel a dejar constancia de que aquel mundo existió, que fue una realidad hasta que los hombres y mujeres que lo habitaban se vieron obligados a tomar partido y aniquilarse mutuamente o a exiliarse en otras latitudes. Reseñas:«Una primera novela preciosa, desgarradora e incandescente, que despierta admiración.»Les Inrockuptibles «Gaël Faye ha irrumpido con fuerza en la escena literaria. [...] Te deja boquiabierto. Todo está ahí, y el resultado es un libro muy bueno.»L'Express «Esta preciosa novela de aprendizaje trasluce un perturbador deseo de dulzura y concordia. De ella se desprende una visión del mundo que no es política sino poética, que combina el horror y la maravilla. Gaël Faye parece decirnos que la nostalgia de la felicidad desaparecida es tan intensa que no puede ser vana. Ella, en sí misma, es una razón de esperanza.»Le Figaro «Pequeño país es lo contrario de una novela de grandes palabras y mucho ruido. No se nos impone, pero nos afecta, porque nos muestra cómo la guerra se introduce poco a poco, sigilosamente, en nuestras vidas.»Süddeutsche Zeitung

Perambulators
by Jan SwiftA complete illustrated history of the British wheeled baby carrier, from the eighteenth century to the end of the classic pram era, this book is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, and an invaluable resource for any owner or collector of historic prams. Examining and illustrating the design and development of full-size prams, this book details the technological changes that affected pram design, and the rise in popularity of the pram. In an intriguing final section, the author goes on to examine the designs of children's toy prams, which were perfect miniature versions of the full-sized prams. These miniature prams kept pace with the design changes of the full-sized prams, and this section will be especially interesting for toy collectors.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Perceptions of Pregnancy from the Seventeenth to the Twentieth Century
by Jennifer Evans Ciara MeehanThis multi-disciplinary collection brings together work by scholars from Britain, America and Canada on the popular, personal and institutional histories of pregnancy. It follows the process of reproduction from conception and contraception, to birth and parenthood. The contributors explore several key themes: narratives of pregnancy and birth, the patient-consumer, and literary representations of childbearing. This book explores how these issues have been constructed, represented and experienced in a range of geographical locations from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Crossing the boundary between the pre-modern and modern worlds, the chapters reveal the continuities, similarities and differences in understanding a process that is often, in the popular mind-set, considered to be fundamental and unchanging.

Perchè piangi?
by Francois Keyser"Perchè piangi?" ricorda a noi adulti la bellezza presente nel mondo che ci circonda. Un ragazzino, convinto che sua madre stia piangendo, ci spiega tutte le ragioni a questo mondo per cui si dovrebbe smettere di piangere. In realtà la sua mamma, lo capiremo in seguito, non sta piangendo ma semplicemente affettando delle cipolle! Ho avuto l'ispirazione per questa storia una volta che ho visto un bambino piangere fuori da una scuola in cui leggevo, mentre sua madre provava in tutti modi a tranquillizzarlo. Ci sono riuscito mostrandogli un libro con la promessa di leggerlo e farglielo ascoltare.
