(H/B) THE HANDMAID'S TALE
THE GRAPHIC NOVEL
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0139

Provocative, startling, prophetic, and more relevant than ever, The Handmaid's Tale has become a global phenomenon. Now, in this stunning graphic novel edition of Margaret Atwood's modern classic, the terrifying reality of Gilead is brought to vivid life like never before. "Everything Handmaids wear is red: the colour of blood, which defines us." Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships. She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under...

(P/B) FOOTNOTES IN GAZA
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0141

Rafah, a town at the southernmost tip of the Gaza Strip, is a squalid place. Raw concrete buildings front rubbish-strewn alleys. The narrow streets are crowded with young children and unemployed men. Situated on the border with Egypt, swaths of Rafah have been reduced to rubble. Rafah is today and has always been a notorious flashpoint in this most bitter of conflicts. Buried deep in the archives is one bloody incident, in 1956, that left 111 Palestinian refugees dead, shot by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to a long history of kil...

(P/b) The Emperor of Gladness
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0181

One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on a bridge, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond that has the power to alter Hai's relationship to himself, his family, and a community at the brink. The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which our lives are...

(P/B) DECREATION
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0040

In her first collection in five years, Anne Carson contemplates 'decreation' - an activity described by Simone Weil as 'undoing the creature in us' - an undoing of self. But how can we undo self without moving through self, to the very inside of its definition? Where else can we start? Anne Carson's Decreation starts with form - the undoing of form. Form is various here: opera libretto, screenplay, poem, oratorio, essay, list, montage. The undoing is tender, but tenderness can change everything, or so the author appears to believe. By turn...

(H/B) BLUETS
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0130

Bluets winds its way through depression, divinity, alcohol, and desire, visiting along the way with famous blue figures, including Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Yves Klein, Leonard Cohen and Andy Warhol. While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of 'pillow book' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of wh...

(P/B) SAFE AREA GORAZDE
THE WAR IN EASTERN BOSNIA 1992-1995
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0081

In late 1995 and early 1996, cartoonist/reporter Joe Sacco travelled four times to Gorazde, a UN-designated safe area during the Bosnian War, which had teetered on the brink of obliteration for three and a half years. Still surrounded by Bosnian Serb forces, the mainly Muslim people of Gorazde had endured heavy attacks and severe privation to hang on to their town while the rest of Eastern Bosnia was brutally "cleansed" of its non-Serb population. But as much as "Safe Area Gorazde" is an account of a terrible siege, it presents a snapshot ...

(P/B) AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF RED
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0037

In this extraordinary epic poem, Anne Carson bridges the gap between classicism and the modern, poetry and prose, with a volcanic journey into the soul of a winged red monster named Geryon. There is a strong mixture of whimsy and sadness in Geryon's story. He is tormented as a boy by his brother, escapes to a parallel world of photography, and falls in love with Herakles - a golden young man who leaves Geryon at the peak of infatuation. Geryon retreats ever further into the world created by his camera, until that glass house is suddenly a...

(P/B) EMBROIDERIES
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0060

Embroideries gathers together many of the women in Marjane Satrapi's life - her beloved grandmother, her mother, an eccentric aunt, their friends and neighbours - for an afternoon of tea-drinking and talking. And as is only to be expected when a group of women reunite around cups of tea, the subjects turn to love, sex and the vagaries of men - in this case, Iranian men. As the afternoon progresses, these colourful women share their secrets about, among other things: how to fake your virginity, how to escape the husband your family has chos...

(P/B) THE FIXER
A STORY FROM SARAJEVO
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0013

In his remarkable new book Joe Sacco returns to Bosnia, the setting for his first masterpiece, Safe Area Gorazde. In 2001 he went back to Sarajevo to meet up with his old 'fixer', an army veteran called Neven who, for the right price, could arrange anything for the visiting journalist. Sacco gradually realized that Neven's own story - a microcosm of the Balkan conflict itself - might be the most compelling of all. Through Neven, Sacco tells the story of the warlords and gangsters who ran the country during the war, but all the time he - an...

(P/B) Wrong Norma
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0171

As with her most recent publications, Wrong Norma is a facsimile edition of the original hand-designed book, drawn and annotated by the author. Several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like the New Yorker and the Paris Review. Anne Carson is probably our most celebrated living poet, winner of countless awards and routinely tipped for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Famously reticent, asking that her books be published without cover copy, she has agreed to say this: Wrong Norma is a col...

(H/B) BLACK HOLE
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0025

And you thought your adolescence was scary. Suburban Seattle, the mid-1970s. We learn from the outset that a strange plague has descended upon the area's teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact. The disease is manifested any number of ways - from the hideously grotesque to the subtle (and concealable) - but once you've got it, that's it. There's no turning back. As we inhabit the heads of several key characters - some kids who have it, some who don't, some who are about to get it - what unfolds isn't the expected battle to fight the plagu...

(P/B) FUN HOME
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0061

One of the most eagerly anticipated graphic memoirs of recent years, Fun Home is a darkly funny family tale, pitch-perfectly illustrated with Alison Bechdel's sweetly gothic drawings. Like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, it's a story exhilaratingly suited to graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian home, a third-generation funeral home director, a high-school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved w...

(P/B) TIME IS A MOTHER
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0168

In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong's poems contend with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize and a 2019 MacArthur fel...

(H/B) PERSEPOLIS
THE STORY OF AN IRANIAN CHILDHOOD
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0017

Wise, often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, Persepolis tells the story of Marjane Satrapi's life in Tehran from the ages of six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken child of radical Marxists, and the great-grandaughter of Iran's last emperor, Satrapi bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of ...

(P/B) Creation Lake
(Export Edition)
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0178

Seductive and cunning American spy-for-hire Sadie Smith has been sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her mission: to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists influenced by the beliefs of an enigmatic elder, Bruno Lacombe, who has rejected civilisation, lives in a Neanderthal cave, and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism. Sadie casts her cynical eye over this region of ancient farms and sleepy villages, and finds Bruno's idealism laughable, but just as she is certain she...

(H/B) PERSEPOLIS 2
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0018

In Persepolis, heralded by the Guardian as a 'touching, funny, illuminating memoir' and the Sunday Telegraph as a 'stylish, clever and moving weapon of mass destruction', Marjane Satrapi dazzled us with her heart-rending memoir-in-comic-strips about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Here is the continuation of her fascinating story. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, our young heroine faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, surround...

(H/B) PATIENCE
Εκδότης: JONATHAN CAPE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3977-0115

Patience is an indescribable psychedelic science-fiction love story, veering with uncanny precision from violent destruction to deeply personal tenderness in a way that is both quintessentially 'Clowesian', and utterly unique in the author's body of work. This 180-page, full-colour story affords Clowes the opportunity to draw some of the most exuberant and breathtaking pages of his life, and to tell his most suspenseful, surprising and affecting story yet. The story opens in 2012, when Jack Barlow, returns home to find Patience, his pregna...

In the story of ENID and REBECA, teenage friends facing the unwelcome prospect of adulthood, and the uncertain future of their relationship.
