Nove perfetti sconosciuti

Nove perfetti sconosciuti

Autore: Liane Moriarty

Numero di pagine: 469

Nove persone si riuniscono a Tranquillum House, una remota località termale australiana che promette di cambiare la vita dei suoi ospiti in soli dieci giorni. Alcuni sono arrivati per perdere peso, altri per provare a migliorare la propria vita, altri ancora per motivi che non possono ammettere nemmeno con se stessi. Il programma è fatto di lusso e coccole, meditazione, yoga e la conquista di una nuova consapevolezza. Ma nessuno dei presenti può lontanamente immaginare quanto saranno difficili i prossimi dieci giorni, e come una vacanza all'insegna del benessere possa trasformarsi in qualcosa di molto diverso. Frances Welty, scrittrice di romanzi rosa, arriva al resort per curare il mal di schiena, il suo cuore infranto e un inesorabile declino delle vendite dei suoi libri. È subito incuriosita dagli altri ospiti, la maggior parte dei quali non sembra affatto aver bisogno di cure. Ma la persona che la intriga di più è Masha, la strana e carismatica proprietaria e direttrice di Tranquillum House. Questa donna potrebbe davvero avere le risposte che Frances sta cercando? E Frances dovrebbe lasciarsi coinvolgere e accettare tutto quello che il resort sta di fatto imponendo? Non...

Neuf parfaits étrangers

Neuf parfaits étrangers

Autore: Liane Moriarty

Numero di pagine: 450

Neuf citadins stressés, prêts pour un break dans une sublime station thermale. Le Tranquillum House leur propose, grâce à une approche révolutionnaire, de renouer avec l’énergie positive pour prendre un nouveau départ. Coupés du monde extérieur, délestés de leurs portables, tous s’attendent avec impatience à une transformation totale. Au fur et à mesure de la cure, entre méditation, tai chi et techniques de bien-être, les langues se délient, les secrets enfouis resurgissent, les animosités aussi. On leur avait promis la quiétude et le renouveau, c’est le lâcher-prise qui s’installe... mais pas celui auquel ils s’attendaient. Avec l’humour et la subtilité qui ont fait son succès, Liane Moriarty, l’auteur du Secret du mari et de Petits secrets, grands mensonges, traque les vérités cachées derrière les apparences et la quête parfois absurde du changement à tout prix. Du grand art.

Female Fans of the NFL

Female Fans of the NFL

Autore: Anne Cunningham Osborne , Danielle Sarver Coombs

Numero di pagine: 244

In the past, sport, particularly football, has been defined as a male domain. Women’s interest stereotypically ranges from gentle tolerance to active resistance. But increasingly, women are proudly identifying themselves as supporters of their teams, and have become highly desirable audiences for sport organizations and merchandisers. Football provides a unique site at which to examine the complex interplay between three theoretical areas: identity formation and maintenance, commercialization of cultural practices, and gender hegemony. This book explores how women experience their fandom, and what barriers exist for the female fan.

The Heather Blazing

The Heather Blazing

Autore: Colm Toibin

Numero di pagine: 256

Colm Tóibín’s “lovely, understated” novel that “proceeds with stately grace” (The Washington Post Book World) about an uncompromising judge whose principles, when brought home to his own family, are tragic. Eamon Redmond is a judge in Ireland’s high court, a completely legal creature who is just beginning to discover how painfully unconnected he is from other human beings. With effortless fluency, Colm Tóibín reconstructs the history of Eamon’s relationships—with his father, his first “girl,” his wife, and the children who barely know him—and he writes about Eamon’s affection for the Irish coast with such painterly skill that the land itself becomes a character. The result is a novel of stunning power, “seductive and absorbing” (USA Today).

'It is impossible to read Tóibín without being moved, touched and finally changed' – Independent on Sunday Colm Tóibín’s The Heather Blazing details the life of Eamon Redmond, a judge in Ireland’s high court, a man remote from his wife, his son and daughter and, at least outwardly, from his own childhood. The life he has built for himself, between his work in Dublin and his family’s retreat by the sea at Cush, is distinguished by order and by achievement. When, like his beloved coastline, it begins to slip away, he is pulled sharply into the present – and finds himself revisiting his past. 'Superbly accomplished' – The Observer Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

Carmel

Carmel

Autore: Kent Seavey

Numero di pagine: 132

Carmel is a microcosm of California's architectural heritage, sited at one of the most scenic meetings of land and sea in the world. Mission San Carlos Borromeo became a root building for California's first regional building style, the Mission Revival. "Carmel City," as it was called in the 1880s, was marketed as a seaside resort for Catholics. Its pine-studded sand dunes survived the imposition of a standard American gridiron street pattern, with a Western, false-front main street, to become "Carmel-by-the-Sea." Artists, academics, and writers embraced the arts-and-crafts aesthetic of handcrafted homes built from native materials, informally sited in the landscape. In the mid-1920s, Tudor Revival and Spanish Romantic Revival styles enhanced the storybook quality of the community. Carmel's architectural character is primarily the product of working builders. Its design traditions have been interpreted and modified for modern times by noted architects, building designers, and craftsmen. Individual expression continues as an ongoing aesthetic theme.

Dark Tourism in the American West

Dark Tourism in the American West

Autore: Jennifer Dawes

Numero di pagine: 214

This edited collection expands scholarly and popular conversations about dark tourism in the American West. The phenomenon of dark tourism—traveling to sites of death, suffering, and disaster for entertainment or educational purposes—has been described and, on occasion, criticized for transforming misfortune and catastrophe into commodity. The impulse, however, continues, particularly in the American West: a liminal and contested space that resonates with stories of tragedy, violent conflict, and disaster. Contributions here specifically examine the mediation and shaping of these spaces into touristic destinations. The essays examine Western sites of massacre and battle (such as Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and the “Waco Siege”), sites of imprisonment (such as Japanese-American internment camps and Alcatraz Island), areas devastated by ecological disaster (such as Martin’s Cove and the Salton Sea), and unmediated sites (those sites left to the touristic imagination, with no interpretation of what occurred there, such as the Bennet-Arcane camp).
