LITERATURA EN OTROS IDIOMAS

The war is over. The war has just begun. Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has just ended, shaman and warrior Rin cannot forget the atrocity she committed to save her people. Now she is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vice, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix—the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power. Though she does not want to live, she refuses to die until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed Rin’s homeland to its enemies. Her only hope is to join forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new republic. But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are what they seem. The more Rin witnesses, the more she fears her love for Nikan will force her to use the Phoenix’s deadly power once more. Because there is nothing Rin won’t sacrifice to save her country . . . and exact her vengeance.

The riveting new novel by the author of the 2021 National Book Award winner and bestseller Hell of a Book People Like Us is Jason Mott’s electric new novel. It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason’s life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and don’t let go, from the ability to time travel to sightings of sea monsters and peacocks, and feelings of love and memory so real they hurt. In People Like Us, two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world that is riven with gun violence. One is on a global book tour after a big prize win; the other is set to give a speech at a school that has suffered a shooting. And as their two storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure: characters drink booze out of an award trophy; menaces lurk in the shadows; tiny French cars putter around the countryside; handguns seem to hover in the air; and dreams endure against all odds.

Jane Austen began writing Pride and Prejudice when she was just twenty years old, though it would not be published until seventeen years later, in 1813. Widely regarded as one of the first romantic comedies in literary history, the novel’s entanglements and misunderstandings are deftly interwoven with a sharp, ironic critique of English society. Mrs Bennet is determined to secure a prosperous future for her five daughters through advantageous marriages. Her second-eldest, Elizabeth, is just as resolute that Fitzwilliam Darcy – the most arrogant, self-important man she has ever met – will not be one of her suitors. Darcy, in turn, considers Elizabeth an unfit match due to her lower social standing and limited connections. Yet the heart seldom obeys reason, and both are forced to examine their own prejudices in the pursuit of true love.
