Sinopse

In "The History of Mary Prince," Mary Prince presents a poignant narrative of her harrowing experiences as an enslaved woman in the West Indies. Written in a straightforward and evocative style, the book combines autobiography with a compelling call for abolition, immersing readers in the brutal realities of slavery. Contextually significant, this work stands as one of the first autobiographies published by a black woman in Britain, effectively highlighting the racial and gender injustices of the time while contributing to the broader abolitionist discourse of the early 19th century. Mary Prince, born into slavery in Bermuda in 1788, underwent severe trauma before gaining her freedom in London. Her personal insights and unwavering courage are further illuminated by her engagement with prominent abolitionists, such as Thomas Pringle, who helped bring her narrative to the public. Prince's life was a testament to the resilience of enslaved individuals, and her work is a vital contribution to both African diaspora literature and historical accounts of slavery. I highly recommend "The History of Mary Prince" to readers interested in understanding the lived experiences of enslaved people, as well as those seeking to explore the intersectionality of race, gender, and class in historical narratives. Prince's voice offers a unique perspective that resonates powerfully in contemporary discussions of equality and justice.

    A psychoanalyst's sensitive exploration of schizophrenia through the stories and words of three women patients 
     
     
      
    In the spring of 1994, psychoanalyst-in-training Steven Poser arrived for his clinical internship at one of the last remaining nineteenth-century mental hospitals in New England. Intending to observe and offer compassionate care to the most chronically ill patients, he ended up staying for two years, forming close therapeutic relationships with three female patients suffering from schizophrenia, "Agnes," "Mrs. Lutzky," and "Lucia." 
     
     
      
    Drawing from his clinical diary, Poser presents his encounters with the women in their own words, each speaking in a poetry of her own invention. Rather than treat the women as casualties of their illness or their words and actions as nonsensical, Poser sees his patients as dignified and struggling people—and not as markedly different from the rest of us as we might think. This is a deeply human book about the frailty and importance of human connection and the intangibly healing force of being heard.

    It may be that the true home of Apollo was not at Delphi, but in that older earth-center of which Plato speaks, where he says: "Apollo's real home is among the Hyperboreans, in a land of perpetual life, where mythology tells us two doves flying from the two opposite ends of the world met in this fair region, the home of Apollo. Indeed, according to Hecataeus, Leto, the mother of Apollo, was born on an island in the Arctic Ocean far beyond the North Wind."

    Things Nobody Knows But Me

    When she is four years old Amra Pajalić realises that her mother is different. Fatima is loving but sometimes hears strange voices that tell her to do bizarre things. She is frequently sent to hospital and Amra and her brother are passed around to family friends and foster homes, and for a time live with their grandparents in Bosnia. 
    At sixteen Amra ends up in the school counsellor’s office for wagging school. She finally learns the name for the malady that has dogged her mother and affected her own life: bipolar disorder. Amra becomes her mother’s confidante and learns the extraordinary story of her life: when she was fifteen years old Fatima visited family friends only to find herself in an arranged marriage. At sixteen she was a migrant, a mother, and mental patient. 
    Surprisingly funny, Things Nobody Knows But Me is a tender portrait of family and migration, beautifully told. It captures a wonderful sense of bicultural place and life as it weaves between St Albans in suburban Australia and Bosanska Gradiška in Bosnia. Ultimately it is the heartrending story of a mother and daughter bond fractured and forged by illness and experience. Fatima emerges as a remarkable but wounded woman who learns that her daughter really loves her. 
    ‘Brave, compassionate, searingly honest and funny, this is a memoir in a voice like no other. Amra Pajalić’s love letter to her mother is a book that grabs at your heart and doesn’t let go until the final page.’ ALICE PUNG
