Les étoiles ne brillent jamais plus fort que dans les ténèbres. Au coeur de la glace, sur les flancs du Roc Noir, existe un puits dans lequel on précipite les enfants trop différents. On le nomme le Gouffre des Absents, une menace qui a toujours plané sur la vie de Yaz. Car, pour endurer les mois de nuit, l'air presque figé par le gel, il faut appartenir à une espèce à part. Et Yaz n'en fait pas partie.

La suite de la nouvelle captivante série de Mark Lawrence, nommée au prix Goodreads du Meilleur roman de Fantasy ! Sur les territoires blancs d'Abeth, tout n'est plus que glace à perte de vue. À l'exception du Roc Noir. Cela fait des générations que, du haut de leur montagne, les prêtres du Dieu Caché commandent le destin des tribus par la magie et le fer. Leur autorité n'avait jamais été contestée. Jusqu'à l'arrivée de Yaz, enfant de la glace arrachée à la seule vie qu'elle connaissait pour tracer son propre chemin.

Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty.

The green world overwhelms all of Yaz’s expectations. Everything seems different, but some things remain the same: her old enemies are still bent on her destruction. The Corridor abounds with plenty and unsuspected danger. To stand a chance against the eyeless priest, Eular, and the god-like city-mind, Seus, Yaz will need to learn fast and make new friends. The Convent of Sweet Mercy, like the Corridor itself, is packed with peril and opportunity. Yaz needs the nuns’ help—but first they want to execute her.

When most people think of the prohibition era, they think of speakeasies, rum runners, and backwoods fundamentalists railing about the ills of strong drink. In other words, in the popular imagination, it is a peculiarly American history. Yet, as Mark Lawrence Schrad shows in Smashing the Liquor Machine, the conventional scholarship on prohibition is extremely misleading for a simple reason: American prohibition was just one piece of a global phenomenon.

At the start of the 1960s, John F. Kennedy and other American liberals expressed boundless optimism about the ability of the United States to promote democracy and development in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. With US power, resources, and expertise, almost anything seemed possible in the countries of the Cold War's "Third World"-developing, postcolonial nations unaligned with the United States or Soviet Union.

When the Great War broke out in August 1914, Thomas Mann, like so many people on both sides of the conflict, was exhilarated. Finally, the era of decadence that he had anatomized in Death in Venice had come to an end; finally, there was a cause worth fighting and even dying for, or, at least when it came to Mann himself, writing about. Mann immediately picked up his pen to compose a paean to the German cause. Soon after, his elder brother and lifelong rival, the novelist Heinrich Mann, responded with a no less determined denunciation.

Russia is famous for its vodka, and its culture of extreme intoxication. But just as vodka is central to the lives of many Russians, it is also central to understanding Russian history and politics. In Vodka Politics, Mark Lawrence Schrad argues that debilitating societal alcoholism is not hard-wired into Russians' genetic code, but rather their autocratic political system, which has long wielded vodka as a tool of statecraft. Through a series of historical investigations stretching from Ivan the Terrible through Vladimir Putin, Vodka Politics presents the secret history of the Russian state itself.
