Beschreibung

'I am my mother's daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.'
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky and a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men.
Her mother, however, is a part of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter's expensive education – but at what cost?
Bernard Shaw's incendiary moral classic was written in 1893, but, after being banned by the Lord Chamberlain, didn't receive a full public production in London until 1925. This version of the play, edited and introduced by director Dominic Cooke, was produced at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in 2025, starring real-life mother and daughter Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter.
Verfügbar seit: 22.05.2025.

    Dear listener, I bare you my heart like an olive tree bares its fruit in the Levant sun. 
    Written in both North Levantine Arabic and English, this is a poetry book on love as I have experienced it. I wrote it with a vision, an image of myself being back on the olive field where my late grandfather used to harvest ripe olives whilst I sat between the rocks and the olive trees.

    Winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry
    Prize, Ryann Stevenson’s Human Resources is a sobering and
    perceptive portrait of technology’s impact on connection and power.Human Resources follows
    a woman working in the male-dominated world of AI, designing women that don’t
    exist. In discerning verse, she workshops the
    facial characteristics of a floating head named “Nia,” who her boss calls “his
    type”; she loses hours researching “June,” an oddly sexualized artificially
    intelligent oven; and she spends a whole day “trying to break” a female
    self-improvement bot. The
    speaker of Stevenson’s poems grapples with uneasiness and isolation, even as
    she endeavors to solve for these problems in her daily work. She attempts to
    harness control by eating clean, doing yoga, and searching for age-defying skin
    care, though she dreams “about the department / that women get reassigned to
    after they file / harassment complaints.” With sharp, lyrical intelligence, she
    imagines alternative realities where women exist not for the whims of men but
    for their own—where they become literal skyscrapers, towering over a world that
    never appreciated them.Chilling and lucid, Human
    Resources challenges the minds programming our present and future to consider
    what serves the collective good. Something perhaps more thoughtful and human,
    Stevenson writes: “I want to say better.”

    'She scrubs desperately. Fervently. Furiously. The filth is in the walls and she can feel it in her bones and under her skin.'
    As the stench in their building intensifies and infestations spread, a group of lonely tenants starts to ask questions.
    The housing association will barely lift a finger and pest control 'don't deal with maggots', so the neighbours are left to grapple with their suspicions and fears alone – blurring the boundaries of their usually private lives in the process.
    Farah Najib's play Maggots explores loneliness, systemic failure and what it means to build community. It was first performed in this version at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Jess Barton and produced by Jessie Anand Productions.

    He’s seen it all. Until now. 
    Detective Darrius Blue has walked the shadowy streets of New York City for over a decade, chasing justice through blood-stained alleyways and broken dreams. But when a high-profile murder rattles the city’s elite and clues lead to a powerful web of corruption, Darrius finds himself caught in a case that threatens everything he stands for—and everyone he loves. 
    With his sharp instincts, relentless grit, and a past that never quite lets go, Darrius digs deep into a mystery that grows darker at every turn. Each answer raises more questions. Each ally could be an enemy. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. 
    As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Darrius must decide how far he's willing to go. Because in a city where secrets kill, some truths are better left buried.

    This book is the last volume of "Kevin Goes to Japan." Now Yukio, Tomoko, and Yumiko have arrived in London. How could Yumiko talk to Kevin with her honest feeling toward him? 
    1. London After 17 Years  
    2. Yukio's Yukio's Nostalgic Memories  
    3. It Is Like a Moth Flying into the Flame?  
    4. Mature Woman  
    5. Are You a Hetare?  
    6. Jumping Off the Stage in Kiyomizu Temple  
    7. Eternal Love  
    8. The True Identity of Tomoko the Yandere  
    9. Already Being a Domineering Husband?  
    135 JLPT sample questions and word lists come with the story. 
    This reading level is almost N1 level because the story goes towards an end, and I wanted to focus on more plots and how the characters feel. Also, the setting is in the UK, which makes word lists longer. Reading my book does not mean that you will be able to speak Japanese fluently, but I believe you will have improved your reading comprehension skills because I made it progressively more difficult from 1 to 4. 
    The paperback versions will be released soon to check the word lists and practice sample questions for some of you. 
    I hope you keep learning Japanese through the bilingual novel entitled "Parasite Man," a story about Yukio and Tomoko. (Kevin and Yumiko will be there, but not soon.) Five of Yukio's colleagues weave love stories where they want to be loved. Can they find true love? The first volume will be released in August/September 2022. 
    Thank you again, and good luck studying Japanese and reading bilingual novels.
