The two are charged with inventorying the contents of the chalet, but distractions soon abound, first from Freda's slightly woebegone daughter Astra and her hoity-toity friend Kay, then from Lucy's godson Bertram and his friend Peter. Utta, the housekeeper, determined to prevent any changes to the chalet she loves, and a challenging paying guest add complications, as do clashing personalities, misunderstandings, and budding romance—not to mention a bit of Alpine climbing. Packed with good humor, lush scenery, and irresistible charm, The Swiss Summer, first published in 1951, is one of Stella Gibbons' most delightful novels. 'For holiday reading it would be hard to find anything better.' —Guardian

Fed up with his partner and his life in New York, Sam flies to Berlin to attend a gallery opening. There he finds a once-divided city facing an identity crisis of its own. In Berlin the past is everywhere: the graffiti-stained streets, the candlelit cafés and techno clubs, the astonishing mash-up of architecture, monuments, and memorials. A trip that begins in isolation evolves into one of deep connection and possibility. In an intensely concentrated series of days, Sam finds himself awash in the city, stretched in limbo between his own past and future—in nightclubs with Jeremy, a lonely wannabe DJ; navigating a flirtation with Kaspar, an East Berlin artist he meets at a café; and engaged in a budding relationship with Magda, the enigmatic and icy manager of Sam’s hotel, whom Sam finds himself drawn to and determined to thaw. I Make Envy on Your Disco is at once a tribute to Berlin, a novel of longing and connection, and a coming-of-middle-age story about confronting the person you were and becoming the person you want to be.

Christmas is just around the corner, and Ronja and Melissa’s dreamer of a father is out of work again. When ten-year-old Ronja hears about a job at a Christmas tree stand near where the family lives in central Oslo, she thinks it might be the stroke of luck they all need. Soon, the fridge fills with food, and their father returns home with money in his pocket and a smile on his face. But one evening he disappears into the night under the pretense of buying Christmas gifts—and the daughters know he has gone to his favorite local pub, Stargate, and they come to terms with the fact that he may lose his wonderful new job. Melissa decides to take his place at the Christmas tree stand, working before and after school in the December afternoon dark, and brings along Ronja, who quickly charms all the middle-class customers. On rare breaks the sisters dream of a brighter place of kindness and plenty, and find help from some of those around them—but both understand that their family structure is a precarious one, and that they are going to need luck and strength to transcend their circumstances. Skillfully told, evoking the delight, misunderstandings, and innocence of a child’s voice, Brightly Shining is small in stature but with an outsize impact on the listener, and has all the markings of a magical modern classic.

Even if it's just for tonight. Set in the underground bar and club scene of 1970s Tokyo, Set My Heart On Fire tells the story of Izumi in her turbulent twenties. Through a series of disarmingly frank vignettes, author Izumi Suzuki presents an unforgettable portrait of a young woman encountering missteps and miscommunication, good music and unreliable men, powerful drugs and disorientating meds. Izumi usually keeps her relationships short but complicated, until she meets Jun. Set My Heart on Fire is a visceral novel about mistaken relationships and the convolutions of desire, about regret and acceptance. Pulsing through the narration is the protagonist's love of music, a vital soundtrack spanning the Zombies, T. Rex, and the Rolling Stones as well as underground Japanese psychedelic-rock bands such as the Tigers and the Tempters.

Tout ce qui la traverse me traverse. (…) Je voudrais que cela ne s'arrête pas. Je suis une aspirine effervescente qui se dissout dans Tokyo. A.

It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its body. His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! --Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.” And thus, Frankenstein’s monster was born. Everyone seems to know the name Frankenstein, whether it is from reading a book, watching a movie, or seeing a theatrical adaptation. Doctor Victor Frankenstein is the central character in the novel of the same name, sharing billing with the eponymous Frankenstein’s Monster, a creature created from different parts of the recently deceased, patched together and brought back to life by the good, yet experimental, Doctor. Frankenstein has become a true icon of horror that will last forever, very much in the same vein, if you will pardon the pun, as that other great, classic blood-sucking horror, Dracula, from the inspired pen of Bram Stoker. But how many people know that author’s name, or for that matter the name of Mary Shelley, Frankenstein’s creator? And, if by some remote chance they do, how many would be able to tell you the amazing story of her life, filled with death, tragedy, love, heartache and much, much more besides. Mary Shelley’s life was as exciting and dramatic as the monster she bestowed upon the world of literature, proving that even in this case, fact truly can be, stranger than fiction.

Historias de fracasos, yayos bajo tierra, moscas, pectorales griegos,dedos que roban dátiles, pelucas y pintalabios, gusanos y botellas… y un verbo desacomplejado y rumberoque le han valido a la autora el Premio Documenta y su primera publicación. La desvergüenza —pero quépoca vergüenza— que Irene Pujadas despliega en cada página de Los desperfectos se advierte pronto comobrillante desparpajo y personalísima imaginación. Incomodidad y excentricidad a manos llenas, una miradaretorcida y peculiar. Un volumen de cuentos irreverentes, extravagantes, originales, casi imperfectos.H&O Editores se complace en invitarles a este banquete de desperfectos.

Tras un tiempo sin verse, cuatro amigas se reencuentran en una casa de campo en Chosica para la despedida de soltera de una de ellas. El entusiasmo inicial viene acompañado de recuerdos y confidencias que pronto tensan el ambiente. Al intercambiar las dudas sobre su rol de parejas, madres e hijas, la reunión se transforma en un reflejo de sí mismas, de sus vínculos agrietados; se preguntan entonces qué las mantiene unidas. La evocación de su niñez y adolescencia permite contrastar el ayer y el ahora de mujeres que experimentan las vacilaciones de una adultez aún inexperta y el desgaste que el tiempo les imprime a las relaciones humanas, así como la dura carga de los secretos que arrastran. Porque acaso la amistad sin proximidad, como dice la narradora de esta historia, es solo 'un vehículo para honrar el pasado'. Por medio de una prosa depurada e introspectiva, María José Caro reconstruye en Vida animal el acotado perímetro urbano de una juventud limeña en el umbral de un nuevo siglo. Una generación que lleva sobre sí el pasado errático de sus padres y la inquietud ante un presente de responsabilidades e incertidumbres aún por definirse.

Cuatro mujeres chilenas, a las puertas de la madurez y a orillas de un lago, dan curso sin inhibiciones al relato apasionado de sus historias personales. Vidas marcadas a fuego por la experiencia socialista durante el gobierno de Salvador Allende y el golpe militar de 1973, pero también por la huella más íntimadel amor y del dolor, el desengaño y la compasión. Los hilos de estas biografías están entrelazados con las vidas de otras mujeres –amigas, primas, hermanas–, planteando página a página los dilemas de la sumisión, la infidelidad y el matrimonio, el trabajo y el sexo. La crítica ha dicho... «La obra de Serrano está repleta de descripciones fantasmagóricas y del exuberante lirismo que distinguió las obras de Carlos Fuentes e Isabel Allende.» Publisher’s Weekl
