From the New York Times-bestselling author of Cutting for Stone comes a stunning and magisterial epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala, South India, following three generations of a family seeking the answers to a strange secretSpanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala's Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the hardships undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. Imbued with humor, deep emotion, and the essence of life, it is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.

''Omen'' reexamina el archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration, revelando un relato menos conocido que cuestiona las perspectivas tradicionales de la historia estadounidense. La secuencia visual de este libro desafía las normas al recortar de manera creativa imágenes de los archivos de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York.Lucy Ives, la aclamada escritora y poetisa estadounidense, ha escrito con maestría el cautivador texto de Omen. Ives se ha consolidado como una de las principales voces del mundo literario contemporáneo, con numerosas publicaciones aclamadas por la crítica.Persiguiendo al fantasma, las huellas del olvido y los ecos de lo que fue y ya no es, Omen representa una es una revisión y recontextualización de una parte del archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) alojado en la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York. Este programa destacó como uno de los hitos de la fotografía documental moderna y desempeñó un papel fundamental en la construcción de una narrativa hegemónica -principalmente en torno al triunfo contra la adversidad, la división y la catástrofe- de la historia reciente de los Estados Unidos y su orden social. Pero enfatizando la mirada sobre ese monumental conjunto de imágenes y explorando las esquinas de los cuadros, los fondos y los detalles-en los personajes secundarios, en lo que no debería estar, en lo que aparece por casualidad, accidente o error-es posible descubrir una narrativa diferente: una más espesa, turbia, turbulenta, compleja, contemporánea y contradictoria. Como un estallido y un ápice: una premonición de la continuidad genealógica de las múltiples violencias sistémicas, tumultuosas, visibles e invisibles, atronadoras y silenciosas que dan forma al rostro de la sociedad estadounidense.El libro funciona simultáneamente como un reflejo de la angustiosa realidad de los Estados Unidos en nuestros días y como un instrumento de reflexión sobre la forma en que se interpreta y comprende la fotografía histórica y documental.

The story of the real relationship between King Charles III and his mother, by the esteemed royal biographer, Ingrid Seward.The relationship between the late Monarch and her son, the King, has long been a subject of fascination. The upbringing of an heir is especially important and places an extra burden on top of all the cares of motherhood. The demands placed on the monarch are unique and there was no one better placed to know this than the late Queen. She knew that not only must they be figureheads, but they must be seen to care for others less fortunate than themselves. They are also expected to uphold family values. Princess Elizabeth made it a point of maternal honour to try and build her routine around her young son while doing her duty. When she became Queen, it was a more delicate balance, but one which she eventually learnt to sustain.Unlike his self-contained mother, who always put duty above personal happiness, King Charles needed love and support to function properly. This is the story of how Charles was shaped and moulded by his heritage. His mother was the woman he always loved but could never be close to. As Queen she held the Pandora’s box of the crown and all he could do was wait and learn. In his mother’s old age, he finally received the affection and respect from her he had craved for so long. This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his family and his friends, from the moment the guns saluted his birth to the day he was officially declared as the King at his Coronation.

Tsukiko, thirty-eight, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, ''Sensei'' in a local bar. Tsukiko had only ever called him ''Sensei'' (''Teacher''). He is thirty years her senior, retired, and presumably a widower. Their relationship, traced by Kawakami’s gentle hints at the changing seasons, develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other as they eat and drink alone at the bar, to an enjoyable sense of companionship, and finally into a deeply sentimental love affair.As Tsukiko and Sensei grow to know and love one another, time’s passing comes across through the seasons and the food and beverages they consume together.

There are around 6000 people in the world today who owe their lives to Nicholas Winton. They are the descendants of a group of refugee children rescued by him from the Nazi threat in 1939. Some of them know of his existence and the part he played in their history, many others do not. It was a short event in his life but a critical one for those whose lives were saved. For him that intervention was over in a flash and other adventures supplanted it. Only much later did this episode re-emerge in his life and ever since has brought him visitors from all over the world anxious to learn his story. This book lays out that story in detail, exploring the motivation and early experiences that led to him acting to save young lives, while others looked the other way. His motto ''If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it'' led him to follow his own convictions and undertake an operation others had dismissed as unnecessary or too difficult. His life thereafter was full of exploits stimulated by similar motivation which, though not so consequential, remain testimony to his character. But what was his motivation? How had his life and background led to him being ready, willing and able to conduct a successful rescue operation of 669 children from Czechoslovakia at the age of 29? His daughter has painstakingly sifted through her father's papers and talked to family and friends to construct a detailed account of his whole life. It explores the influences on his character as well as the historical events he was caught up in. Taken from his historical letters and writings, Winton's own words are introduced to convey the atmosphere of many of his diverse experiences.
