Sinopsis

‘Earth Story’ is an engaging and thought-provoking alternative view of mankind’s history and those who have manipulated pivotal events throughout millennia. The story is told through the eyes of different characters who provide an, as yet, untold version of historical events, such as the discovery of the tomb Tutankhamun, the Second World War, and the 1969 moon landing. Are humans really the masters of their own destiny or merely pawns in a much wider and enduring conflict?

    There’s a stranger in town. Carolyn Winter is cool, in control and content with her single life. She’s certainly not looking for a relationship. Been there, done that, not pleasant. She has all she needs at the moment. A new job and a new home. 
      
    And when someone, an attractive someone, is catapulted into her life, and keeps reappearing, she tells herself nothing can happen. It’s far too complicated. Isn‘t it? 
      
    A prodigal sister returns. Tess Wainwright has never been in love. She knows she’s run away from everything. The only worthy thing she’s done is raise Bronte and the nine-year-old deserves more than life has dealt her. Now it’s time for Tess to finish getting her life in order, find some normality, reunite with her older sister, and hopefully make a better life for herself and Bronte. 
      
    Of course the universe has never been Tess’s friend and it looks like it’s running true to form. Her sister, an army nurse, is deployed to Afghanistan, but she assures Tess her friends will help her settle back into life in her home town. Liv, Mac and Dee are doing just that and Tess starts to think, universe aside, for once she’s made the right decision. 
      
    Then that same universe has a change of heart, quite literally, and sets two lonely women on a collision course.

    In a lively village near a sprawling meadow, dwelt Max, a resourceful mouse, and Oliver, a cunning cat known for his mischief. Max, celebrated for his quick wit and daring exploits, outmaneuvered Oliver's clever traps daily, navigating the village with ease. 
    Oliver, sleek and sly, lounged in the sun devising new schemes to catch Max, who always managed to slip away. One sunny morning, as Max dashed past, he encountered Oliver under an oak tree. "Good morning, Oliver!" Max greeted cheerfully. 
    Perking up at Max's voice, Oliver teased about his latest invention, the Cheese-o-Matic 3000, a temptingly baited trap. Max, intrigued yet wary, accepted Oliver's challenge to resist it for a day. Throughout, Max evaded traps with agility and cunning, while Oliver observed, adjusting strategies to no avail. 
    At sunset, facing the Cheese-o-Matic 3000 once more, Max resisted temptation, winning Oliver's respect and a truce. Oliver conceded, declaring peace for the village mice. Their rivalry evolved into mutual admiration, forging an enduring bond celebrated in village lore. 
    The tale of Max and Oliver, a testament to friendship and wit, resonated across generations, fostering camaraderie and understanding among the village's diverse inhabitants.

    The French novel taking the world by storm: an ultracontemporary Dangerous Liaisons about sex, feminism, and addiction. 
     
     
     
    Oscar is a B-list novelist in his forties. He used to be an alcoholic and a cokehead, but now he keeps himself busy by ranting on social media. When Rebecca, an actress whose looks he insulted, sends him an angry email, they strike up a combative correspondence—at the very moment that Oscar is accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist. What ensues is a no-holds-barred conversation about life under the patriarchy, and above all about addiction—to drugs, to alcohol, to the internet, to rage. 
     
     
     
    Virginie Despentes, the celebrated author of King Kong Theory, has written her breakthrough book: a Dangerous Liaisons for our time. We follow Rebecca and Oscar as they develop an unlikely friendship and argue over questions of right and wrong in a city—Paris—where pleasure, excess, and freedom rule the day, or used to. Dear Dickhead is a guns-blazing novel about a culture that makes men and women sick, and about how the search for feeling leaves us addicted to what makes us feel. The result is a provocative and unmissable book from the author hailed by the Guardian as France's "rock and roll Zola."
