Sinopse

In "Schwartz of Tanjore," Jesse Page deftly weaves a tapestry of historical fiction set against the backdrop of 18th-century India, exploring the complex interplay between colonial ambitions and the rich tapestry of local cultures. Through vivid prose and intricate character development, Page brings to life the experiences of its titular character, a Jewish merchant navigating the tumultuous waters of trade, identity, and moral dilemmas. The narrative style reflects a deep engagement with the historical contexts, employing idyllic atmospheres punctuated by moments of tension, reflective of the era's socio-political climate. Jesse Page, an accomplished author with a keen interest in the intersections of culture and identity, draws from his extensive research into Jewish diaspora experiences and colonial narratives. This personal engagement lends authenticity to the work, as Page integrates real historical figures and events while crafting a compelling fictional story. His fascination with the dynamics of cultural exchange and resilience in marginalized communities deeply informs the thematic undercurrents in this novel. "Schwartz of Tanjore" is a must-read for those intrigued by historical narratives that challenge conventional perspectives on colonialism. With its rich character studies and immersive storytelling, Page's novel invites readers to reflect on the complexities of identity, belonging, and the human spirit amid cultural confluence. It is an enlightening and evocative journey that promises to resonate with anyone interested in the intricacies of history and human experience.

    The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
    These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old. 
    In Megan Goes to the Zoo, our psychic teen’s parents take her to the zoo one sunny Bank Holiday. Megan wanders around with her huge ghost tiger, Grrr, and finds herself empathising with the animals. Grrr has fun playing with the captive tigers in their cage, and Megan is sure that she exchanges thoughts with an elephant that is bored with giving rides to ungrateful customers.

    "A revolutionary diary that parses the lines of sex and power, in language that pushes itself around on the page like paint. With echoes of Emma Goldman's if I can't dance, Lardeux's revolution has fucking at its core. The Second Substance is fleshy, cinematic, intuitive." – Tamara Faith Berger, author of Queen Solomon
       
    “A nomadic miscellany of gruff scavengers and would-be pioneers has commandeered the derelict filling station at 69 Rue Principale—an anonymous sensualist and moonlighting authoritarian among them—all jockeying for position at the nexus of self-determination and fate. In Anne Lardeux’s enigmatic debut, presented here in a translation by Pablo Strauss, the constant friction between societal strictures and communal revision spark a series of disorderly experiments, abstract epiphanies blasting off in every direction. The Second Substance is a novel about overriding our programming, rewriting our code in order to initiate an even more radical set of protocols for eroticism, destruction, and rebirth.” – Justin Walls, Bookshop.org
