This strange eventful history : a novel / Claire Messud. - London : Fleet, 2024. - [14], 428, [3] strony : ilustracje ; 24 cm.
Książka w języku angielskim. Over seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the pieds-noirs Cassars live in an itinerant state―separated in the chaos of World War II, running from a complicated colonial homeland, and, after Algerian independence, without a homeland at all. This Strange Eventful History, told with historical sweep, is above all a family story: of patriarch Gaston and his wife Lucienne, whose myth of perfect love sustains them and stifles their children; of François and Denise, devoted siblings connected by their family’s strangeness; of François’s union with Barbara, a woman so culturally different they can barely comprehend one another; of Chloe, the result of that union, who believes that telling these buried stories will bring them all peace.

Książka w języku angielskim. You may "know" Jenny Slate from her Netflix special, Stage Fright, as the creator of Marcel the Shell, or as the star of "Obvious Child."

Książka w języku angielskim. In the last few years, as identity politics has taken hold, middle-aged women have found themselves talked and written about as morally inferior beings, the face of bigotry, entitlement and selfishness, to be ignored, pitied or abused. Hags asks the question why these women are treated with such active disdain. Each chapter takes a different theme - care work, beauty, violence, political organization, sex - and explores it in relation to middle-aged women's beliefs, bodies and choices. Victoria Smith traces the attitudes she describes back to the same anxieties about older women that drove Early Modern witch hunts, and explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today. The demonisation of hags has never felt more now.

Książka w języku angielskim. A brilliantly witty and insightful analysis of how kindness culture is used against women. Using the #JustBeKind trend of the 2020s as a starting point, (Un)kind explores how traditional beliefs about women's 'kind' nature have been repackaged for an age that remains dependent - socially, politically, economically - on female self-sacrifice while finding the concept outdated and essentialist. Looking at the various guises under which kindness culture is sold to women and girls - from play to self-help, social justice activism to empowerment - Victoria Smith argues that the pressure on women and girls has not decreased, but instead been incorporated into the 'work' of feminism. (Un)kind analyses the way in which this phenomenon ultimately distorts relationships, harming not just those coerced into performing 'kindness work' but the supposed recipients of their services. Kindness culture supports the backlash against feminism while claiming to represent feminism's - and women's - true nature. It is, at heart, unkind.

Książka w języku angielskim. Powieść uhonorowana wieloma prestiżowymi nagrodami. Opowiada historię ucieczki dwojga niewolników z plantacji bawełny w Georgii. Tytułowa kolej podziemna to określenie stworzonej przez abolicjonistów sieci przerzutowej zbiegłych czarnych niewolników z południowych stanów Ameryki głównie na północ do Kanady, a także do Meksyku. Na ten skomplikowany system ucieczkowy składały się drogi, tunele, szlaki, bezpieczne kryjówki, przewodnicy, organizacje i społeczności. Nazewnictwo kolejowe tworzyło tajny kod, jakim posługiwali się uciekinierzy i abolicjoniści. Autor niezwykle pieczołowicie i wiarygodnie oddaje realia niewolniczego życia, codzienny znój, strach, pragnienie wydostania się na wolność.
