Luise, eine Buchhändlerin, ist immer in Sorge, anzuecken oder etwas furchtbar Peinliches zu tun. Und findet es dabei ziemlich anstrengend, nicht anstrengend sein zu wollen. Plötzlich tritt in dieses kleinlaute Leben ein buddhistischer Mönch, kahlrasiert und in Kutte. Er ist kein dauerlächelnder Glücksbringer, aber ein Ausbund an provozierender Gelassenheit: Es geraten zwei Leben an- und ineinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Und plötzlich wird Luises Leben komisch und abenteuerlich.

Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie Walsh has always done the right thing - that is until the day she leaves her husband and takes refuge with her friend Emily, a screenwriter in Los Angeles - a city where even the palm trees are skinny.

Ritos de pasaje, adolescentes fanatizadas con estrellas de rock, inframundos donde conviven seres que han complotado para que Kurt Cobain, Sid Vicious y Jim Morrison mueran repentinamente y pasen a la historia... En Éste es el mar, Mariana Enriquez alcanza una nueva forma de escritura, hurga en lo macabro, atraviesa el universo de lo desconocido y lo monstruoso para posicionarse en un territorio poco explorado de la literatura argentina. Su prosa es tan adictiva como sombría e inquietante.

L’adolescence n’est facile pour personne. On se cherche une identité à travers les nouvelles expériences, les jobines et les premières amours. Mais Mariana a un avantage sur les autres, elle sait déjà quoi faire de sa vie : si elle ne meurt pas – d’ennui dans un trop long trajet d’autobus ou d’un coup de couteau dans une bagarre –, avec son talent naturel, elle sera joueuse de soccer professionnelle! Rivière-des-Prairies, c’est l’intensité de l’adolescence combinée à celle de Mariana. Tenez-vous bien : ça va chauffer.

C’est l’histoire d’une petite fille trop sensible nommée Mariana, mais aussi un touchant hommage à l’univers qui l’a définie : le quartier où elle a vécu, les familles immigrantes qu’elle a côtoyées, les enseignants qui l’ont inspirée, et aussi les lieux enchanteurs (pour une enfant) qu’elle a fréquentés, tels le Club argentin, le cinéma Langelier et le marché aux puces Cinq étoiles. Fille d’immigrante, Mariana Mazza brosse un portrait de son enfance dans le Montréal-Nord des années 1990 à la fois sombre et lumineux, chaotique et chaleureux. Sa mère s’en mêlera, comme d’habitude.

Consciousness is the most fascinating but tantalizingly difficult topic in biology. Although many people now believe that mammals, birds, and possibly all vertebrates are conscious, there are also claims that many other animals such as crabs and insects may be conscious too. Such claims, if true, would have major implications for what we eat, how we control pests, and for our relationship with the animal world. Now, more than ever, it is important to question the evidence and ask: what do we really know about animal consciousness?

The Letters of a Portuguese Nun (Les Lettres Portugaises), first published anonymously in Paris in 1669, sparked a literary sensation with their passionate and heartfelt content. This collection of five letters saw five editions released in its inaugural year and more than forty throughout the 17th century. A Cologne edition from 1669 suggested the Marquis de Chamilly as the recipient, but the true identity of the female author remained shrouded in mystery. Translated into numerous languages, these letters not only set the stage for the rise of sentimentalism in European culture but also paved...
