Call for the Dead / John Le Carré

London : Penguin, 2023

Penguin modern classics ; 6

Abstract: The first of his peerless novels of Cold War espionage and international intrigue, Call for the Dead is also the debut of John le Carre's masterful creation George Smiley. After a routine security check by George Smiley, civil servant Samuel Fennan apparently kills himself. When Smiley finds Circus head Maston is trying to blame him for the man's death, he begins his own investigation, meeting with Fennan's widow to find out what could have led him to such desperation. But on the very day that Smiley is ordered off the enquiry he receives an urgent letter from the dead man. Do the East Germans - and their agents - know more about this man's death than the Circus previously imagined?

Marple : twelve new stories / Naomi Aldeman ... [et al.]

London : Harper-Collins, 2023

The Marple collection

Abstract: A brand new collection of short stories featuring the Queen of Crime's legendary detective Jane Marple, penned by twelve remarkable bestselling and acclaimed authors. This collection of twelve original short stories, all featuring Jane Marple, will introduce the character to a whole new generation. Each author reimagines Agatha Christie's Marple through their own unique perspective while staying true to the hallmarks of a traditional mystery. Ruth Ware Miss Marple was first introduced to readers in a story Christie wrote for The Royal Magazine in 1927 and made her first appearance in a full-length novel in 1930's The Murder at the Vicarage. It has been 45 years since Agatha Christie's last Marple novel, Sleeping Murder, was published posthumously in 1976, and this collection of ingenious new stories by twelve Christie devotees will be a timely reminder why Jane Marple remains the most famous fictional female detective of all time.

Career and family : women's century-long journey toward equity / Claudia Goldin

Princeton ; Oxford : Princeton University Press, 2023

Abstract: **Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics This audiobook narrated by Nancy Crane traces women’s journey to close the gender wage gap and sheds new light on the continued struggle to achieve equity between couples at home** A century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach. Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed—and the barriers they faced—in terms of career, job, marriage, and children. She shows how many professions are “greedy,” paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men. Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women’s advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic’s silver lining. Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.

Spare / Prince Harry

London : Bantam, 2023

Abstract: [EDIZIONE IN LINGUA INGLESE!] It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow - and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling - and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last. With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief. Prince Harry wishes to support British charities with donations from his proceeds from Spare. The Duke of Sussex has donated $1,500,000 to Sentebale, an organisation he founded with Prince Seeiso in their mothers' legacies, which supports vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS. Prince Harry will also donate to the non-profit organisation WellChild in the amount of GBP300,000. WellChild, which he has been Royal patron of for fifteen years, makes it possible for children and young people with complex health needs to be cared for at home instead of hospital, wherever possible.

Breakfast at Tiffany's / Truman Capote

London : Penguin Classics, 2022

Little Clothbound Classics

Abstract: Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Holly Golightly is a glittering socialite mover and shaker: generally upwards, sometimes sideways and, every now and then, down. She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, a tease. In short, an icon. Truman Capote's most famous work, Breakfast at Tiffany's is the ultimate ode to dreamers. 'The most perfect writer of my generation ... I would not have changed two words of Breakfast at Tiffany's' Norman Mailer

Stella Maris / Cormac McCarthy

New York : Vintage Books, 2022

Vintage international

Abstract: Alicia Western, twenty years old, with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, admits herself to the hospital. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia’s psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence.

The Passenger / Cormac McCarthy

New York : Vintage Books, 2022

Abstract: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul...

Saint Roch : l'évêque, le chevalier, le pèlerin : 7.-15. siècle / Pierre Bolle ; avec une préface par Guy Philippart

Turnhout : Brepols, 2022

Hagiologia

Abstract: Saint Roch de Montpellier, de l’évêque historique au pèlerin thaumaturge en passant par le paladin. Quatorze siècles de transformations hagiographiques inscrites dans la liturgie, les archives, l’iconographie, la fiction et l’érudition. San Rocco di Montpellier, dal vescovo storico al pellegrino taumaturgo, attraverso il paladino. Quattordici secoli di trasformazioni agiografiche iscritte nella liturgia, negli archivi, la finzione letteraria e l'erudizione. "En ne retenant des deux Vies de saint Roch publiées par les bollandistes que ce qui s’accordait avec l’Histoire, en dépit de leurs incohérences, l’érudition s’était employée jusqu’ici à construire la « biographie vraisemblable » d’un pèlerin thaumaturge de la deuxième moitié du XIVe siècle. Outre de nouvelles vitae, l’auteur investigue de manière exhaustive toutes les autres dimensions négligées d’un dossier hagiographique complexe : celles de la liturgie, des archives civiles, des reliques et de l’iconographie. Il en publie et analyse un corpus exceptionnel de documents inédits, dont certains précèdent les récits de plusieurs décennies. Il en ressort une figure inattendue et bien différente de celle qui résultait du traitement traditionaliste et trop exclusif des documents littéraires. Elle s’enracine dans celle d’un évêque mérovingien d’Autun, se « rénove » sous l’effet de la peste dans la liturgie languedocienne de la fin du XIVe siècle, puis se dédouble dans l’iconographie italienne de la première moitié du XVe siècle. Elle s’inscrit enfin dans un roman du dernier tiers du siècle, plusieurs fois remanié, que le nouveau vecteur de l’imprimerie propulsera à travers toute l’Europe, en deux décennies à peine. Cette vaste enquête heuristique, conçue dans le strict héritage de l’hagiographie critique, apporte encore une contribution méthodologique et épistémologique originale à la stemmatique des réécritures, à l’étude des faux « vols pieux » de reliques et à l’exploitation de l’iconographie. Elle entend aussi alimenter la réflexion sur la notion de dévotion populaire et sur les phénomènes et les groupes sociaux qui la génèrent".

Abstract: Raccolta di numerose opere agiografiche, in prosa e in versi, d'origine essenzialmente monastica, redatte nella Spagna dal secolo 9. al 13. Comprende varie vite di santi (in specie di eremiti). Una Passione (San Zoilo di Cordova), racconti di traslazioni di reliquie, raccolte di miracoli (sia in vita che in morte)... Ce volume (CCCM, 310) réunit un grand nombre d’œuvres hagiographiques, en prose et en vers, d’origine essentiellement monastique, rédigées dans l’Espagne des IXe-XIIIe siècles. Elles comportent plusieurs vies (notamment d’ermites), une passion (saint Zoïle de Cordoue), des récits de translation de reliques (comme celle de saint Indalèce, l’un des sept évangélisateurs mythiques de l’Espagne) et des recueils de miracles soit in uita soit post mortem; la notice de la vie ou du transfert du corps du saint est souvent suivie des miracles survenus sur sa tombe ou à proximité. Ces textes ont été composés dans les monastères de San Juan de la Peña (Huesca: Aragon), San Millán de la Cogolla (La Rioja/Castille) et San Zoilo de Carrión (Palencia: Castille). La Vita s. Vrbici confessoris a sans doute été écrite dans un monastère aragonais non identifié au IXe s., tandis que le Liber de uita et miraculis s. Isidori agricolae est l’œuvre d’un diacre de l’église Santa María de la Almudena de Madrid (XIIIe s.), avec des continuations d’abord, quelques années plus tard, par un franciscain, puis ensuite par d’autres auteurs jusqu’au XVe s.
