  Hadley Freeman, Guardian features writer and author of the popular ‘Ask Hadley…’ column, presents the modern lady with twenty-three essays that remind us to BE AWESOME. 
  ‘Being single is often awesome. You can leave a party when you want to, whether that be 9pm or 9am; you don't have to live in fear of ever hearing yourself described as “my better half”; and you can spend all day lying on the sofa in your pajamas watching Murder She Wrote and eating peanut butter straight out of the jar’ 
  ‘Don't, if you are over the age of 18, refer to yourself as a “girl” or your friends, if they are over 18, as “the girls.” You are a woman and so are they. And you know what? That's just brilliant.’ 
  Covering topics vital for any modern woman to consider (from ‘How to read women’s magazines without wanting to grow a penis’ to ‘Beyond the armpit: a guide to being a modern day feminist’), Be Awesome tackles body image, sex, dating and feminism head on. 
  With an attitude that is unfalteringly funny, smart and surprisingly heartwarming, Hadley Freeman is a voice of sanity that every woman should hear. 
  BE AWESOME by Hadley Freeman, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a book that encourages women to strive for the best, prioritise their health and fitness, and embrace their individuality. Her essays, filled with humour and intelligence, make this bestselling book a must-read for every modern woman. 
  For fans of Haruki Murakami (What I Talk About When I Talk About Running), Victoria Smith (Hags), John Higgs (William Blake Now), Tara Westover (Uwolniona), and Rose Tremain (Rosie).

  Madison & Adams Press presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. 
  "Of all the peoples known in history, the American people most readily forget yesterday; I publish this Diary in order to recall yesterday to the memory of my countrymen. In this Diary I recorded what I heard and saw myself, and what I heard from others, on whose veracity I can implicitly rely. I recorded impressions as immediately as I felt them. A life almost wholly spent in the tempests and among the breakers of our times has taught me that the first impressions are the purest and the best."

  Buy now to get the main key ideas from Ben Rhodes's After the Fall 
    
  America’s way of doing things, from global capitalism to liberal democracy, has fallen out of fashion. 
  After the Fall (2021) by Ben Rhodes discusses the unprecedented failure of the United States to capitalize as the world’s leading force following the Cold War. Today, countries such as Hungary and Russia are dispelling the Western outlook on free business and politics and instead committing to outright authoritarianism. Dictators including Vladamir Putin, Victor Orban, and Xi Jinping use wide-scale corruption to consolidate power, extreme nationalism to create a strong national identity built on persecuting others, and technology to surveille and control their citizens.  
  Because America failed to provide a better example of capitalism and democracy, other countries are starting to look to examples like China. The danger of these authoritarian governments is how they look to upend democratic thought altogether, by any means necessary.

  Not a Tame Lion - The Life...

  Finalist for the best biography of the year with Christian Book Awards.The life, thought, and  legacy of C. S. Lewis—a Prophet for our TimesOne of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century,  C. S. Lewis bridged literature, philosophy, and religion. He taught at Oxford and Cambridge, all the while communicating  in a clear, winsome manner that ordinary men and women could comprehend. He gave us masterpieces like The Screwtape Letters,  The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and still more. In this  fascinating biographical study Not a Tame Lion, author Terry Glaspey points out that Lewis’ life was as compelling  as his work. Glaspey gives readers a glimpse of the character of this extraordinarily gifted man—who believed that  his sharp mind and rich imagination were to be accompanied by a sense of responsibility to the wider world. If Lewis were  alive today, he would see the fruition of trends he warned against many years ago. His continued relevance is based on his  understanding of the human predicament—a predicament that is intellectual and moral, as well as spiritual. Lewis points  the way out of this predicament, but it’s not an easy way. It requires submission to God's authority, moral discipline,  and integrity of action. Lewis shows how our lives can be lived in light of eternity and can demonstrate the hope that endures,  even in these shadowlands.

From previously unpublished work by Djuna Barnes and Truman Capote (his earliest known story), to writing by Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Kawabata, Musil, and other world-class authors, the issue is a celebration both of the art of translation and of the breadth and depth of the many revelatory discoveries that can still be found in the historical literary archive.
