  “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
  		 
  “It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
  		 
  In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

  Jerome K Jerome - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  What happens when reason is swallowed by absurdity? 
  In The Crocodile, Fyodor Dostoevsky blends satire and social critique in one of his most unusual and humorous works. The story follows Ivan Matveich, a government official who, while visiting an exhibition, is suddenly swallowed whole by a crocodile. Strangely, he remains alive inside the creature and refuses to be rescued—believing that his predicament offers him a unique intellectual and philosophical advantage. 
  His colleagues, the press, and society react with indifference, treating his bizarre situation as a trivial curiosity rather than a matter of urgency. As Ivan embraces his new existence, the novella cleverly mocks bureaucratic incompetence, self-important intellectuals, and the absurdity of human nature. 
  What You’ll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Brilliant Satirical Comedy – Experience Dostoevsky’s biting humor and wit in a tale that remains as relevant today as in the 19th century.A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Human Ego – Witness the ridiculous ways in which people justify their own misfortunes and delusions.A Masterpiece in a Fresh, Readable Style – This modern adaptation preserves the depth and humor of Dostoevsky’s prose while making it more accessible for today’s readers.A Unique Tale of Bureaucratic Madness – Dive into a world where logic is twisted, and society’s reaction to the absurd is more absurd than the event itself. 
  More than just a comedy, The Crocodile is a sharp critique of human folly, intellectual arrogance, and the absurdities of bureaucracy and ideology. 
  Is Ivan Matveich a tragic figure, a genius, or simply ridiculous? 
  Get your copy today and discover one of Dostoevsky’s most entertaining and thought-provoking works.

  New York Times Bestseller  
  The long-awaited next book from actress and New York Times bestselling author of The Rural Diaries, Hilarie Burton Morgan. Through memoir essays and magical practices, Grimoire Girl connects us to the enchantment that exists inside us all. 
  Since childhood, Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt the call to record, keep, and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a whimsical habit, with no clear goal. And then, when she became a mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus.  
  In an effort to patchwork together an anthology of traditions, curiosity, and magical thinking that she could pass down, Burton Morgan realized she was crafting a grimoire.  
  In her most intimate book yet, Burton Morgan shares how she’s creating an inheritance of mischief and magic that will outlive her. What’s more, she shows readers how they too can look at the elements of their lives and collect the pieces into a tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. Because in its purest form, a grimoire was a guide to keep you alive. 
  Like the grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record the people, places, ideas and habits that have kept Burton Morgan alive, in her signature voice that is at once honest, witty, and charming. Accompanied by whimsical two-color illustrations by Olivia Faust, the book also includes Simple Spells, which are ways to bring magic into your daily life: create an altar that delights and inspires, practice candle magic and poetry spells, make an oracle deck, or channel your inner kitchen witch with recipes and potions. 
  So begin creating your own inheritance, take a long look inward and decide... 
  What wisdom will be written on the pages of your Grimoire? 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
