In a pre-apocalyptic world not unlike our own, a young Instagram poet starts an affair with a California billionaire who’s promised a time machine that will make everything normal again—whatever that means. A whip-smart, absurdly funny debut novel for fans of Patricia Lockwood and Marlowe Granados. Everyone knows something’s off, but nobody can agree on just what it is. Maybe it’s the weather; maybe everyone’s just so damn sensitive these days. Or maybe it’s because the animals of the world have finally had enough, besieging towns and cities and terrorizing their human residents. Jenlena and her best friend Daphne are two humanities grads in their early 20s, trying to find their way in a society that has just eradicated all animals for the safety of humanity. In the post-fauna world, Jenlena transforms from an aspiring poet to a gig worker, capitalizing on other people’s grief by selling house plants that have come to replace pets and cosplaying as dogs for pay. Meanwhile Daphne, a once-promising student, flounders in a deep depression, smoking weed and ditching work to hang out with her once famous, now canceled boyfriend. When Jenlena meets the California billionaire Roderick Maeve, and the two become romantically entangled, she is exposed to a new understanding of wealth, power, and the gender economy—just as the world hurtles toward its alleged salvation. Marked with Frankie Barnet’s poignant intelligence and sly sense of humor, Mood Swings is a stand-out debut novel that imagines with pitch-perfect absurdity what comes after life as we know it.Ver livro
A Cockney grocer with money and no seat rides to hounds across three counties, and every field he crosses belongs to somebody who wishes he would not. Surtees hunted all his life and wrote about it without a trace of reverence; Jorrocks was popular enough that Dickens's publishers asked for something similar, and got The Pickwick Papers. Thirty-five plates of hunting, shooting and open country by painters including Francis Grant and John Middleton follow the text, matching Surtees's world of horses, fields and the people who own them.Ver livro
Hunting quarters at Market Harborough with a cast of men who talk about horses better than they ride them, followed by a second tale set behind a bar. Whyte-Melville was a cavalry officer and the best writer on horsemanship in English; he was killed in the field, hunting, at fifty-seven. This edition binds 53 plates after painters including Edvard Munch, John Leech and Francis Grant, alongside 3 restored and coloured illustrations.Ver livro
The History of England from Henry IV to Charles I, by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian. N.B. There will be very few dates in this History! Jane Austen wrote The History of England in 1791, at the age of just 15, as a satirical parody of 18th-century historical textbooks. It pokes fun at the apparent impartiality of contemporary historians and contains more opinions about the monarchs' relative characters than any facts or dates. The History of England was not published until 1922, more than a century after Austen's death.Ver livro
