Four Horsemen - The Discussion That Sparked An Atheist Revolution Foreword By Stephen Fry

de Christopher Hitchens, Daniel C. Dennett, Richard Dawkins e Sam Harris

8,28€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Brought to you by Penguin. Known as the ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights - about religion and atheism, science and sense - speaks with urgency to our present age. Questions they asked of each other included: ‘Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?’ The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen. With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.

The Maltese Falcon

de Dashiell Hammett

~~9,99€~~ 8,99€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A priceless black bird disappears, and suddenly San Francisco feels like a trap with velvet walls. Private detective Sam Spade is hired for what looks like a simple missing-person case—until the story fractures into lies, dead bodies, and a trail of people who want the same thing for very different reasons. Everyone is performing: grieving, flirting, begging, threatening. And Spade, sharp-eyed and harder to read than the criminals he chases, has to decide what matters more—money, desire, or the thin line he calls his own code. The Maltese Falcon is a classic of hardboiled crime fiction: fast, tense, and morally slippery. It's a world of smoke-filled rooms, sudden betrayals, and conversations where every word is a weapon. The mystery pulls you forward, but the real danger is watching how quickly "truth" becomes just another tool in the negotiation.

On Witness And Respair - Essays

de Jesmyn Ward; Narrado por: Jesmyn Ward

~~18,99€~~ 17,09€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Bloomsbury presents On Witness and Respair written and read by Jesmyn Ward The collected creative nonfiction of a singular American writer, Jesmyn Ward, including widely shared classics, three never-before-published speeches, and an introductory essay. Respair (noun, obsolete), fresh hope after despair. From the two-time National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author Jesmyn Ward, this collection of essays documents more than a decade of work in the life of a singular writer often lauded as 'the heir apparent to Toni Morrison' (LitHub). Beginning with her upbringing in a multigenerational household in rural Mississippi, the cradle of both her youth and her gift for storytelling, Ward brings her keen wisdom and hauntingly lyrical prose to a range of topics, following in her grandmother Dorothy's footsteps when she promises always to 'Tell it straight. Tell it all.' True to her word, in these pages Ward contemplates the writers and novels of her youth and adulthood — the transformative power of discovering Octavia Butler as a twenty-something, the mirror that Richard Wright's novels held up to her own childhood, and of course, her lifelong love for Toni Morrison. Ward ruminates on her approach to both fiction and life, reflecting on the power of the novel, how to raise a Black son in an era of rising divisiveness and cruelty, as well as her own personal tragedies — including the titular essay of the collection, which tells the story of her partner's sudden death on the eve of the COVID-19 epidemic. Every bit as piercing and moving as her fiction, On Witness and Respair is a testament to Ward's powers as one of America's finest living writers and is a monument to hope, beauty, and personal and collective resilience. PRAISE FOR JESMYN WARD: 'One of the most important writers in America today' Ann Patchett 'Ward writes like a dream: a real dream, uneasy, vivid and deep as the sea' The Times 'Takes the territory made so familiar by writers such as William Faulkner... and reclaims it' Financial Times 'Jesmyn is, simply, the best of us' Ta-Nehesi Coates

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. From Revlon to Glossier, from Marilyn to Gaga, lipstick is as shape-shifting and unwieldy as femininity itself. Who wears lipstick today - as a matter of routine? And for those who do, is it out of obligation to a strict feminine standard, or some other reason entirely? Lipstick reconsiders the beauty world's most conspicuous - and contentious - tool of artifice. Tossing expired ideas about femininity like so many tubes of melting wax, Lipstick explores how self-adornment can be a source of play, pleasure, and transformation, as well as how lipstick can knock gender norms off balance.

What Is Art?

de Lev Tolstoi; Narrado por: Russ Bain

~~18,99€~~ 17,09€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Leo Tolstoy is one of the most celebrated novelists of all time. As well as writing literary classics such as Anna Karenina and War and Peace he was also the author of some hugely influential critical and philosophical works. First published in 1898 his book length essay What is Art? has lost none of its power to challenge our perception of art and its function in society today. In this provocative work Tolstoy famously dismisses works by Shakespeare, Dante, Wagner and even many of his own works as 'bad art' based on various criteria including sincerity, ethics, morality and accessibility. Tolstoy took art seriously at a time when western civilization toyed with it as a mere pastime during the height of the Aestheticism movement. For him, art was natural and necessary to the advancement of humankind. In his introduction to this translation, W. Gareth Jones shows how vitally Tolstoy's personality and experiences in life were engaged in creating What is Art?. Jones shows how integral the essay was to his art and teaching, and why it continues to demand a response from us.

Wolverine: Weapon X

de Jim Rugg; Narrado por: Alexander Cendese e Jim Rugg

~~19,99€~~ 17,99€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Bloomsbury presents Wolverine: Weapon X by Jim Rugg, read by Alexander Cendese. Explore the Stories Behind the Legends Naked, bloody, and screaming in pain - this is the Wolverine that faced readers in the story arc Weapon X. This was more than just the tale of how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton and claws. Legendary creator Barry Windsor-Smith challenged fans' expectations of super hero stories and created Marvel's most brutal and beautiful comic. In 1991, when Weapon X was first published, Wolverine was one of Marvel's most popular super heroes. For Weapon X, creator Windsor-Smith reimagined the super hero origin story as a cyberpunk horror story. A shadowy organization abducts Wolverine in order to create "the ultimate killing machine," and we are plunged into a story of basic, animalistic survival. As Wolverine endures more and more trauma, the lines between reality and consciousness disappear. Jim Rugg's entry in the Marvel Age of Comics takes a deep-dive into one of Marvel's most experimental and singular comics, and what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine story.

Banning Books In America - Not A How-To

~~19,99€~~ 17,99€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bloomsbury presents Banning Books in America edited by Samuel Cohen, read by Kenneth Medford and Kate Handford This is a book about banned books in the U.S. — about reading them, teaching them, and lending them under the shadow of political pressure not to. Banning Books in America features novelists on banning and being banned, arguments about the histories and politics of book banning, readings of banned books in national and international contexts, and responses to new legislation by anti-censorship advocates, teachers, and librarians. Together, these writers and educators provide a view from the trenches of the wars on reading. They offer, if not a single blueprint, models for how to think about what it means to ban books and how to fight back against the forces that would ban them. This book shows that at the heart of this issue is the question of what books mean to people. Some Americans are determined to decide which books other Americans shouldn't get to read. Why these books? Why now? Anyone who seeks to answer these questions must examine the context, historical and current, in which Americans allow this to happen. This is a book about book banning in America, and so it is a book about America.

Writing During The Apocalypse - Reflections On The Great Unraveling

de Ed Simon; Narrado por: Shamaan Casey

~~23,99€~~ 21,59€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bloomsbury presents Writing During the Apocalypse by Ed Simon, read by Shamaan Casey All of American literature is a tragedy. What we're living through now isn't a tragedy, however - it's a horror novel. Why bother writing when the world's on fire? Rising authoritarianism. Covid. Inflation. Wealth disparity. War. Climate change. While every time period is marked by apocalyptic fears, it certainly seems like our current anxieties aren't ill placed. And yet, art and literature persist. In captivating and culturally savvy prose, Ed Simon grapples with the notion that writers and their work ought to distract readers from the dire situation we face in these fetid days of the Anthropocene. He also addresses the wider question of what it's like to write during what could be the last decades of human civilization, arguing that to craft imaginative spaces through the magic of words isn't superfluous. Instead it exists at the core of human experience - as it always has and always will. Examining creativity as it has manifested in similarly dire circumstances in human history - in a broad range of authors and texts, such as the Bible, Boccaccio's Decameron, Voltaire, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, and Stephen King's The Stand - Writing During the Apocalypse eschews the easy defeatism of nihilism. Instead, it offers a hopeful perspective on the various ways that literary expression can endow a meaningless world with meaning and generate a spark in the darkness. With the infamous four horsemen as its guide, Writing During the Apocalypse honors the literary life even during the end of the world.

Writing Black Panther - Ta-Nehisi Coates And Representation Struggles

de Howard Rambsy Ii; Narrado por: Greg Lockett

~~23,99€~~ 21,59€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bloomsbury presents Writing Black Panther by Howard Rambsy II, read by Greg Lockett A timely look at contemporary African American creative works through the lens of Ta-Nehisi Coates's ground-breaking entry into the comic book industry. Writing Black Panther traces Ta-Nehisi Coates's presence in comic books from 2015-2023, focusing on his contributions as the writer for Black Panther. His ambitious 50-issue run of the Marvel comic coincided with ongoing and multifaceted debates concerning diversity and inclusion - what we might call representation struggles - at a key moment in the history of comics with respect to Black writers. Howard Rambsy II locates Coates's contributions at the intersection of African American literary studies and comic book studies, showing a dynamic convergence that redefines both fields and broadens the scope of Black creativity. Writing Black Panther demonstrates key aspects of Coates's comics narratives that overlap with major themes and topics in African American literature. These include the depiction of multiple Black characters, exploration of intra-racial and interracial conflicts, excavations of Black histories, displays of Afrofuturist aesthetics, and attention to cultural geography. As a prominent essayist, bestselling author, and popular comic book writer, Coates stands out as a notable gateway figure who bridges multiple genres. His time as a comics writer constitutes an important, defining phase of his professional career. And as this book shows, Coates's work on Black Panther went a long way to dispelling the myth that "diversity doesn't sell" in the comic book industry.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Since its invention more than 150 years ago, the microphone transformed the world in an instant. Yet its evolution and integration into our daily lives has been comparatively gradual - so gradual, crucially, that it is easy to forget just how much we take it for granted. Every phone has a microphone. Every laptop has a microphone. We are surrounded by microphones. The microphone wields enormous power. But when we're 'on mic' we aren't just powerful, we're vulnerable. Microphones can destroy careers as quickly as make them. The microphone is inextricable from our need to be heard. This book takes a curious, always humorous look at this object as a metaphor for power and how the fulfillment of our desire to be heard has created a multi-headed beast we are still learning how to tame.

 Bloomsbury presents The Ultimates by Ted Adams, read by Mack Sanderson. Explore the Stories Behind the Legends The 1990s and early 2000s were a time of intense change and experimentation for Marvel Comics. Out of this emerged The Ultimates—a comic that would have an explosive impact on Marvel and the broader pop culture landscape. Writer Mark Millar, with artists Bryan Hitch, Andrew Currie, and Paul Neary, reimagined the classic characters that made up Marvel's premiere super hero team, the Avengers. Looking at them through a modern, post-9/11 lens, the creators treated the characters as super soldiers who reported to the US government. Ted Adam's entry in The Marvel Age of Comics takes readers through Marvel of the '90s: the Marvel Knights imprint, the creation of the Ultimate universe with Spider-Man and the X-Men, and finally the Ultimates themselves. With its unique blend of grounded realism and over-the-top action, The Ultimates ensured that comic books and pop culture would never be the same.
