The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn’t have to mean the world is ending.‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Michel Houellebecq lo hace de nuevo. Después de Submission (2015), centrada en la colonización musulmana, y que anticipó las elecciones presidenciales de 2022, Annihilate se proyecta en 2027. Zemmour sigue trabajando en 2027, «solo tienes que pronunciar tu nombre y la conversación comienza a ronronear de maneras marcadas y suavemente predecibles, un poco como con Georges Marchais en su día, cada uno encuentra sus marcadores sociales, su posicionamiento natural, y saca satisfacciones tranquilas de ellos». Un tono muy kunderiano, Annihilate es quizás el libro maestro del autor, este viejo joven con insolencia desilusionada, endiabladamente inteligente y extrañamente cordel, cuyas proyecciones más acerbicas no dejan de golpear. Bajo un cielo gris, mucho sexo y alcohol, y para terminar una cita con la muerte, sumergirse en la nada. El aleccionismo es completo, una negación total, sin ningún recurso a mentiras maravillosas. Como dice una figura, «el pecado original del cristianismo es la esperanza».

Venezia, fine del Cinquecento: una città tentacolare e spietata in cui anche i muri hanno gli occhi, il doge usa il pugno di ferro e il Sant'Uffizio sospetta di tutti e non ci pensa due volte a mandare a chiamare un poveraccio e a dargli due tratti di corda. La Serenissima osserva, ascolta e condanna. Anche ingiustamente. Ed è proprio per sfuggire a un'accusa infondata che Michele, giovane muratore, è costretto a imbarcarsi su una galera lasciando tutto e senza nemmeno il tempo per salutare la sua bella moglie Bianca, appena diciassettenne. Bandito da Venezia, rematore su una nave che vaga per il Mediterraneo carica di zecchini e di spezie e senza speranza di ritornare a breve, Michele vivrà straordinarie avventure tra le onde, sulle isole e nei porti del mare nostrum, fino ad approdare nelle terre del Sultano. Per sopravvivere, con il pensiero sempre rivolto a Bianca, da ragazzo ignaro e inesperto dovrà farsi uomo astuto, coraggioso e forte. Nel frattempo, Bianca rimane completamente sola in città, tra i palazzi dei signori e il ghetto. Il suo temperamento tenace e orgoglioso dovrà scontrarsi con prove se possibile più dure di quelle toccate a Michele, e incontri non meno terribili e importanti l'attendono nel dedalo di vicoli e calli, tra i profumi intensi delle botteghe di speziali, quello del pane cotto nel forno di quartiere, il torso dell'acqua gelida in cui lavare i panni e i pagliericci pidocchiosi che sono il solo giaciglio per la povera gente.
