Sinopsis

In "Flush," Virginia Woolf masterfully interweaves the life story of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's beloved spaniel, Flush, with rich explorations of social change and the constraints of Victorian society. The novel employs a lyrical prose style, reminiscent of stream-of-consciousness, as it delves into Flush's perspective, revealing the emotional landscape of canine life intertwined with human experiences. Woolf's narrative skillfully navigates themes of love, loyalty, and the societal roles imposed on individuals, both human and animal, showcasing her deep empathy and understanding of character and context. Virginia Woolf, a prominent figure of modernist literature, often drew on her own experiences and societal observations to inform her writing. Growing up in a literary household and experiencing the limitations placed on women in her time undoubtedly influenced Woolf's decision to illuminate the life of a dog against the backdrop of a repressive era. This unique perspective allows for a deeper exploration of identity and agency, challenging the norms of both human and animal life. "Flush" is a captivating read for those interested in the interplay of human and animal existence, as well as for enthusiasts of early 20th-century literature. Woolf's keen insights and innovative narrative style will appeal to scholars and casual readers alike, inviting them to reconsider the contours of loyalty and love through the eyes of an endearing canine.

    For years, Katie Baker wore the mask of a woman who had it all together. On the surface, she was a successful professional, a loving mother, and the embodiment of relentless perseverance. But beneath that carefully crafted facade, the cracks were deepening into fractures too wide to ignore. Haunted by a childhood of instability—marked by alcoholic fathers, sexual, physical, and verbal abuse, a lack of protection, and exposure to addiction—she carried her pain like an invisible weight. Pressured by societal expectations to “buck up,” she buried her wounds under achievement and resilience, holding onto pain and shame well into her late 40s. 
    In this raw and unflinching memoir, Katie takes readers on her journey from rock bottom to radical transformation. Guided by courage and therapeutic psychedelics, she confronted the darkness she had spent a lifetime outrunning—unraveling the shame, guilt, and addiction that had stolen so much from her life. Through profound medicine journeys, she unearthed the lost pieces of herself and reclaimed the life she was meant to live. 
    But this is more than a story of healing—it’s a story of rediscovery. With vulnerability, grit, and humor, Katie reflects on the childhood that shaped her, the courage it took to rebuild, and the light that emerges when we finally face our deepest wounds. 
    For anyone who has ever struggled to find their way back to themselves, When The Universe Holds Your Hair Back is a beacon of hope, redemption, and the powerful reminder that healing is not a destination—it’s a journey home.

    Frida Kahlo - An Illustrated Life

    “A vibrantly illustrated biography of Kahlo . . . [Hesse’s] drawings and graphics [flow] seamlessly with the narration.” —Houston Chronicle 
     
    One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. 
     
    Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life. 
     
    “Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way—in fleeting but significant moments—to Kahlo’s artistic triumph.” —Publishers Weekly

    This is small introduction of the book: In the annals of intellectual history, the name "Voltaire" stands as a beacon of enlightenment, a multifaceted figure whose life and ideas continue to shape our understanding of the world. François-Marie Arouet, better known by his pen name Voltaire, emerged as a pivotal force in 18th-century France, leaving an indelible mark as a writer, historian, and philosopher. 
    Born on November 21, 1694, in the heart of Paris, Voltaire's journey traversed the corridors of power, the confines of prison walls, and the intellectual salons of Europe. His story unfolds against the backdrop of a time marked by profound social and philosophical transformations—the Enlightenment. 
    As we embark on this exploration of Voltaire's life, we delve into the tumultuous yet captivating events that shaped his character and fueled his intellectual pursuits. From his early years at the Jesuit College Louis-le-Grand to the transformative sojourn in England, where he imbibed the spirit of liberty and reason, each chapter in Voltaire's life reads like a riveting narrative. 
    In Chapter 2, "Birth and Early Life - 1694," we delve into the origins of this influential thinker, exploring the circumstances of his birth and the early influences that set the stage for his intellectual curiosity. Chapter 3, "His Education," uncovers the formative years of Voltaire's learning, providing insights into the foundations that would support his later literary and philosophical endeavors.
