Versailles: Yannick Hill
And for brand new fiction that beautifully presents the complexities of utopian/dystopian fiction look no further than this gripping debut novel from Yannick Hill, reviewed in The Irish Times:
"Casey Baer is chief executive of the world's largest social network: "All he ever wanted was a family to love and love him right back." But passion has mutated into obsessive control, and Versailles, the beachfront mansion with 100 rooms, where his wife and two children could "have everything they wanted", has instead become a fortress where 1,000 cameras record every moment of their lives.
Casey's American dream is turning to nightmare on the first page as his daughter, Missy, flees Versailles on her 16th birthday. She knows that "Missy Baer #Running Away . . . is a story that would break the internet", but Missy has deleted her online profile and cut loose from her millions of followers. For the first time in her life she discovers the joy of privacy, the thrill of experience that goes unrecorded except in memory.
Versailles is a beautifully imagined version of a world we already inhabit, where our love affair with technology is transforming the human experience." Read the full review here: http://bit.ly/2ph2NpJ

Utopia for Realists: Rutger Bregman "Rutger Bregman is a 28-year-old Dutchman whose book, Utopia for Realists, has taken Holland by storm and could yet revitalise progressive thought around the globe. His solutions are quite simple and staunchly set against current trends: we should institute a universal basic income for everyone that covers minimum living expenses – say around £12,000 a year; the working week should be shortened to 15 hours; borders should be opened and migrants allowed to move wherever they choose.
If that all sounds like fantasy politics, then Bregman has assembled a wealth of empirical evidence to make his case. Better than that, though, it is not a dry, statistical analysis – although he doesn't shy from solid data – but a book written with verve, wit and imagination. The effect is charmingly persuasive, even when you can't quite believe what you're reading." Read the full article here:http://bit.ly/2omc56C

Machiavelli: A Portrait – Christopher S. Celenza
With so many new books out on Machiavelli some may be wondering what all the fuss is about. This New York Times opinion piece succinctly illustrates why the great mover and shaker of Renaissance Italy is as relevant now as he's ever been:
"Machiavelli has long been called a teacher of evil. But the author of 'The Prince' never urged evil for evil's sake. The proper aim of a leader is to maintain his state (and, not incidentally, his job). Politics is an arena where following virtue often leads to the ruin of a state, whereas pursuing what appears to be vice results in security and well-being. In short, there are never easy choices, and prudence consists of knowing how to recognize the qualities of the hard decisions you face and choosing the less bad as what is the most good.
Those of us who see the world, if not in Manichaean, at least in Hollywoodian terms, will recoil at such claims. Perhaps we are right to do so, but we would be wrong to dismiss them out of hand. If Machiavelli's teaching concerning friends and allies in politics is deeply disconcerting, it is because it goes to the bone of our religious convictions and moral conventions. This explains why he remains as reviled, but also as revered, today as he was in his own age.

Montaigne: A Life – Philippe Desan
Adam Gopnik writing in the New Yorker critique's Desan's new biography of the influential writer and thinker Montaigne:
"'Que sais-je?' 'What do I know?' was Montaigne's beloved motto, meaning: What do I really know? And what do we really know about him now? We may vaguely know that he was the first essayist, that he retreated from the world into a tower on the family estate to think and reflect, and that he wrote about cannibals (for them) and about cruelty (against it). He was considered by Claude Lévi-Strauss, no less, to be the first social scientist, and a pioneer of relativism—he thought that those cannibals were just as virtuous as the Europeans they offended, that customs vary equably from place to place. Though some of his aphorisms have stuck, both funny (Doctors 'are lucky: the sun shines on their successes and the earth hides their failures') and profound ('We are, I know not how, double in ourselves, so that what we believe we disbelieve, and cannot rid ourselves of what we condemn'), he is not really an aphorist. He is, we think, a philosopher, and somehow accounted the father of modern liberalism, though he was aristocratic in self-presentation. We think of him, above all, as we do of Thomas More: a nice guy, an ideal intellect. S. N. Behrman, the American playwright and diarist, began but never finished a heroic play about Montaigne called 'The Many Men,' which might have sealed him as the man for all seasons before the other guy got there."

Wanderlust: Rebecca Solnit
The Kirkus brilliantly summarises what makes Solnit such a capacious writer. She's one of our favourite intellectuals and oddballs:
"Moving with ease from discussions of early hominid skeletal structure to the place of wandering on foot in the development of the Romantic poetic sensibility, Solnit embraces nature and culture alike in this vigorous look at all things peripatetic. Walking, she observes, is good for us humans, and not only for the exercise it affords; it also "allows us to be in our bodies and in the world without being made busy by them." Her portraits of famous walkers of city streets and rural byways alike—Henry Thoreau, John Muir, Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Charles Baudelaire among them—suggest that the best thinking is indeed done, as Saint Jerome observed, by walking around; the author's remarks on the history of pilgrimage show the importance of peregrination in contemplative spiritual traditions. And Solnit's own memoirs of wandering on foot across the hills of California and England and down the busy streets of Europe's great capitals—and, in a particularly inspired turn, along the Las Vegas Strip—offer inspiration and succor to anyone who rails against the soulless supremacy of automobiles in the modern age. Walking alone can mark a person as an oddball, she observes (especially if, like the French poet Gerard de Nerval, the walker chooses a lobster on a leash as a strolling companion). And walking alone can mark a woman as a potential victim or a prostitute, with all the attendant perils. Even so, the careful reader, duly warned, will emerge from Solnit's pages moved to wander. Full of learned asides and juicy historical tidbits: a fine addition to the literature of rambling." Read the full review here:http://bit.ly/2nSfUA8

Rings of Saturn: W.G. Sebald
Sebald's best known work opens as "the dog days were coming to an end" and takes the reader on a physical and intellectual journey that examines the whole spectrum of human experience. Mark O'Connell explores Sebald's incredible legacy a decade after his sudden death. He writes: "Reading [Sebald] is a wonderfully disorienting experience, not least because of the odd, invigorating uncertainty as to what it is, precisely, we are reading. His books occupy an unsettled, disputed territory on the border of fiction and fact, and this generic ambivalence is mirrored in the protean movements of his prose. Often what is on the page, the writing itself, gives the impression of being only the faint, flickering shadow of its actual referent. What Sebald seems to be writing about, in other words, is frequently not what he wants us to be thinking about.
The psychoanalyst Adam Phillips's claim that "Sebald is more like a new kind of historian than a new kind of novelist" might be too provocative for its own good, but it is an indication of the extent to which his work has yet to be placed within a secure canonical niche. The books are fascinating for the way they inhabit their own self-determined genre, but that's not ultimately why they are essential reading. There is a moral magnitude and a weary, melancholy wisdom in Sebald's writing that transcends the literary and attains something like an oracular register. Reading him feels like being spoken to in a dream. He does away with the normal proceedings of narrative fiction—plot, characterization, events leading to other events—so that what we get is the unmediated expression of a pure and seemingly disembodied voice. That voice is an extraordinary presence in contemporary literature, and it may be another decade before the magnitude—and the precise nature—of its utterances are fully realized."

The Mothers: Brit Bennett
This stunning debut novel from a rising star in American Literature is full of heart and hope in a difficult world. Marta Bausells reviews it for the Guardian: "The Mothers starts with two traumatic endings: a death and an abortion. The novel's protagonist, 17-year-old Nadia, grief-stricken after her mother's suicide, takes up with the local pastor's son and gets pregnant. She decides to have a termination. The novel follows Nadia as she enters adulthood ("Like most girls, she'd already learned that pretty exposes you and pretty hides you") in an African American community in a Californian military town. Brit Bennett perceptively portrays the impact Nadia's choice has on her life and relationships, focusing on her friendship with another motherless girl, Aubrey. Her decision to put abortion front and centre in the story is in itself extraordinary, given how absent it is in cultural narratives about young women, but she doesn't linger on it, nor does she judge her characters. She is much more interested in what happens afterwards.
The Mothers is a beautiful and precise portrayal of female friendship, first loves and societal expectations of black women. Bennett breaks the stereotype of absent African-American fathers, removing mothers from the picture instead. Written between her own high-school years and her mid-20s, it presents Bennett as an exceptionally promising new voice in American fiction." Read the full review here: http://bit.ly/2nh0gxC

Nobody Told Me: Mollie McNish
In celebration of our literal, literary and non-biological mothers we bring you a trio of books that look at motherhood in all it's beauty, hardship and power.
Hollie McNish's brilliant meditation on the joys and pitfalls of motherhood is reviewed in The Skinny. Ceris Aston has this to say: "A diary of poems, written in snatched moments away from her roles as mother and lover, the book offers an immediate, seemingly unfiltered insight into McNish's life, and into her experience of motherhood.
In her diary, the poet records her guilt, pain, wonder, exhaustion, frustration, joy, anger and love. There's no photoshopping here, no smoothing out of the bags under tired eyes or images of serenely smiling mothers breastfeeding on white sofas. There's crying from exhaustion and cracked nipples and wiping snot from noses and hiding in public loos to feed. There's the endless barrage of judgment on how to do motherhood right. There is love: for her partner, for her family, for Little One. There is wonder. 'It is indescribable/ witnessing this small human change.' It's a moving and profoundly personal account. Yet at the same time, Nobody Told Me offers an insight into the shared, unspoken experiences of many mothers. McNish describes Nobody Told Me as 'All the things I couldn't talk about.' It feels like time that we started talking." Read the full review and more great work from 'The Skinny' here: http://bit.ly/2nrFHie

Subtly Worded: Teffi
Peter Pomerantsev, writing for the London Review of Books, explores Teffi's clever and humane writing that looked back toward Russia even as she was living in exile: "How does a comic writer describe a world that has stopped being funny? What to say when the system you satirise is swept away, when parts of the population are killed, when the survivors become refugees, drifting away en masse but it's unclear where to? Teffi was faced with these questions as she tried to make sense of revolution in St Petersburg, as she fled through the Civil War, as she crossed the Black Sea along with other refugees to start a new life in a place which would in turn be engulfed by fascism and war. By the time she left Russia she was one of its most famous journalists and short-story writers, a favourite of both Lenin and the tsar, with her own brand of 'Teffi chocolates' and perfume. She was best known for a bittersweet tone that left it unclear whether one was to laugh or cry: 'A joke is not so funny when you are living inside it. It begins to seem more like a tragedy,' she wrote more than once. 'My life has been one long joke. Therefore a tragedy.'"

1917 Stories and Poems: Selected by Boris Dralyuk
Anna Aslanyan reviews this brilliantly curated selection of poems and stories that were written during and immediately after the 1917 revolution. This new selection is also published by Pushkin Press who are fighting the good fight when it comes to new translations of classic literature: "Don't you find that too much poetry is being written?" Vladimir Lenin once asked Maxim Gorky, referring to the literary scene of the young Soviet state. The writer replied that it was natural to turn to poetry in times of great upheaval. 1917, an anthology published to commemorate the forthcoming centenary of the Russian Revolution, is proof of that; a third of it is devoted to poetry and, compared to the rest, it is the poems that paint the more vivid portrait of their era.
Written between early 1917 and late 1919, these pieces are immediate reactions to the cataclysmic period that saw the overthrow of the Russian monarchy, the October Revolution and the devastating civil war.
The works and fates of these authors create an image of hope and despair, struggle and exile, triumph and death. Even as the revolution devoured its own writers, they remained its chroniclers. A century on, their writings — some revisited, some resurrected in this collection — can be read as historical documents, but also for their sheer literary value. The best of them bear a mark of the process described by Kuzmin: 'Tough sandpaper has polished all our words.'" Read the full review in the Financial Times here: http://on.ft.com/2fPCNNE

The Left Hand of Darkness: Ursula LeGuin
Reading Ursula LeGuin will change your life. This excellent interview in the Paris Review offers an insight into the psyche of a visionary: "No single work did more to upend the genre's conventions than The Left Hand of Darkness (1969). In this novel, her fourth, Le Guin imagined a world whose human inhabitants have no fixed gender: their sexual roles are determined by context and express themselves only once every month. The form of the book is a mosaic of primary sources, an interstellar ethnographer's notebook, ranging from matter-of-fact journal entries to fragments of alien myth. […]
How do you feel about the term science fiction, as connected to your work?
Well, that's very complicated, Wray.
I'm sorry. Are you at peace with it? Do you find it reductive?
I don't think science fiction is a very good name for it, but it's the name that we've got. It is different from other kinds of writing, I suppose, so it deserves a name of its own. But where I can get prickly and combative is if I'm just called a sci-fi writer. I'm not. I'm a novelist and poet. Don't shove me into your damn pigeonhole, where I don't fit, because I'm all over. My tentacles are coming out of the pigeonhole in all directions."

The Transition: Luke Kennard
This debut fiction from a well seasoned poet will unsettle and disturb. For any 'Black Mirror' fans out there the horrors are clear, for any landlords it could read like a positive manifesto. Justine Jordan reviews it for the Guardian: "We're in Britain, a few years from now: driverless cars and self-stocking fridges are a reality, but the housing crisis has only got worse. Like most thirtysomethings, 'middle-class underachiever' Karl and his wife, Genevieve, find that their rent always outstrips their earnings, even though their living space is a wallpapered conservatory in a shared house. Credit‑card juggling and a spot of last‑ditch online fraud land Karl in trouble, but instead of prison, he and Genevieve are offered a place on The Transition: a six‑month hiatus during which they will live with an older, more successful couple, learn from them about all that boring adult stuff like self-reliance, financial planning and dental hygiene, and save up enough money for a starter rabbit hutch on the bad side of town.
In the grimly impoverished world of Nineteen Eighty-Four, real coffee is only for the elite. In Kennard's vision of social control, flat whites are constantly on tap, although they cost more than the baristas serving them make in an hour: even dystopias are gentrified these days. His dissection of the way contemporary capitalism harnesses every response to it, using rebellion and dissent as fuel for expansion, is all the more chilling for its aspirational flourishes."

Exit West – Mohsin Hamid
We've all been waiting to see what magic Hamid would weave next and he hasn't disappointed us. Writing for the New York Times Michiko Kakutani explores what it is that makes Exit West an important and beautiful book: "Mohsin Hamid's dynamic yet lapidary books have all explored the convulsive changes overtaking the world, as tradition and modernity clash headlong, and as refugees — fleeing war or poverty or hopelessness — try to make their way to safer ground. His compelling new novel, 'Exit West,' is no exception, recounting the story of the migrants Saeed and Nadia, who leave an unnamed country in the midst of a civil war and journey to Greece, England and eventually the United States in an effort to invent new lives for themselves. […] Hamid, however, is less interested in the physical hardships faced by refugees in their crossings than in the psychology of exile and the haunting costs of loss and dislocation. […] In 'Exit West,' Hamid does a harrowing job of conveying what it is like to leave behind family members, and what it means to leave home, which, however dangerous or oppressive it's become, still represents everything that is familiar and known."

The Burning Ground – Adam O'Riordan
His poems from 'In the Flesh' enchanted and disturbed us, and so do these taught and atmospheric stories that play with the ideas and landscapes of Los Angeles. Adam Foulds (whose novel The Quickening Maze was one of our favourite reads) shows O'Riordan's mastery of context and form: "An epigraph from Christopher Isherwood indicates the kind of place O'Riordan's LA will be: 'Don't cry to me for safety. There is no home here … Understand this fact, and you will be free. Accept it, and you will be happy.' The first story, 'A Thunderstorm in Santa Monica', neatly follows from this warning of homelessness. Harvey, a young British man, is spending more money than he should on flights to the city to pursue a love affair with the older, more successful Teresa. On this occasion, Teresa has had to go to New York on business and Harvey is left to his own devices. Turbulence on the flight over, Harvey's enforced, dislocated solitude and an approaching storm together accumulate an uncomfortable atmosphere of diffuse threat and depleting emptiness in sumptuous surroundings (surely one of LA's signature experiences). […] When it works well, the stories linger in the mind as strong impressions, simultaneously complete and unresolved. When less convincing, the stories feel anecdotal and limited by their avoidance of direct confrontation. Still, you are never in doubt that you are reading the work of an elegant and greatly accomplished writer whose future promises much." Read the full review here: http://bit.ly/2ljeSgo

What I Have Loved – Siri Hustvedt
Benjamin Markovits neatly summarises Hustvedt's novel that addresses the tension between people who embody familial roles while having chosen to reject other roles imposed by society: "What I Loved deals in the lives of critics, painters, academics, writers: people who possess what has been called the leisure of the theory classes. It's also a book about a couple of couples who together have children, grow old and become unhappy. The worries about art and about life inevitably overlap, and Hustvedt asks two simple and serious questions: can art help us to understand our lives? And can it change them for the better?"

A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women – Siri Hustvedt
Lara Feigel's piece in the FT examines how Hustvedt's latest collection of essays showcase the relationships between intellectual women as much as between men and women. She writes; "Hustvedt met Sontag once and was flattered when the older writer remarked that her essay on Gatsby was one of the best she had read, because 'it was written from the inside, not from the outside.' This seems to be the strength of all Hustvedt's best writing. She is able to combine this personal perspective with erudite analysis and she is always open to uncertainty, which she sees, rightly, as a political stance. […] 'Doubt is a virtue of intelligence,' claimed Simone Weil. Hustvedt agrees, adding that intelligent doubt doesn't swagger. 'Military parades do not march to tunes of doubt. Politicians risk mockery if they admit to it. In totalitarian regimes people have been murdered for expressing doubt.' Now, as the complex warnings of experts are decried and swaggering lies broadcast on the news, this kind of uncertainty matters more than ever and it is best expressed through writing that begins with the contradictions of individual experience. We are fortunate to have Hustvedt voicing doubt so intelligently." Sign up to the FT and read the full review here: http://on.ft.com/2fNsyvU

Possession – A.S Byatt
Love and obsession can take many forms, such as the love between a reader and words. Carmen Callil summarises Byatt's rich tale of mental and physical possession: "In this Booker-winning, bestselling novel (subtitled "A Romance"), Byatt makes great play with the notions of possession — between lovers, and between biographers and their subjects. When research assistant Roland Michell discovers — and then steals — a cache of letters from the London Library, he not only uncovers a clandestine relationship between two Victorian poets, but finds romantic fulfilment for himself. Part thrilling academic quest, part Victorian pastiche (with impressively rendered 19th century letters, diary entries and poetry), 'Possession' restores sex to the Victorians and romance to the 20th century — and shows that while the language of love might change, love remains the same."

I Love Dick – Chris Kraus
Jonathan Gibbs writing for The Independent explains why this book, a playful discussion on the artistic process, is as much about the serious business of love and sex: "What remains so brilliant about the book is the real, useful thought that Kraus builds out of her romantic fantasy. This starts, though doesn't end, with her consideration of love and desire, how 'sex short-circuits all imaginative exchange'. Chris and Sylvère separate; Chris and Dick do sleep together, but still he remains distant, callous, even as Chris is driven to lonely despair, spending a cold winter holed up in Upstate New York. She gets lost in the woods and nearly dies, and goes to the toilet in the yard because the pipes in her house have frozen: images such as these go a long way to balancing out the discussions of critical theory – Deleuze and Guattari and the like – that dominate later parts of the book."

Farmageddon – Philip Lymbery & Isabel Oakeshott
Tristram Stuart provides his own view of Farmageddon in an insightful Guardian article: "This catalogue of devastation [explored in Farmageddon] will convince anyone who doubts that industrial farming is causing ecological meltdown. Whether it's a question of the wellbeing of individual farm animals, the biodiversity in rainforests or the harm caused to peoples such as the Toba tribe – displaced to the grim suburbs of Lima by the onward march into their traditional forests of GM soy plantations that feed European livestock – fixing the food system has to be a priority. […]With every meal we eat, we choose whether or not to contribute to these problems. The businesses we buy our food from are our servants; they want to keep us happy. It follows that they will change only if we show them we are unhappy with, or, even better, enraged by, the current system.[…]
Lymbery brings to this essential subject the perspective of a seasoned campaigner – he is informed enough to be appalled, and moderate enough to persuade us to take responsibility for the system that feeds us." Read the full review here: http://bit.ly/2kVfUyF

Waste, Uncovering the Global Food Scandal – Tristram Stuart
Paul Kingsnorth, author of Beast, and The Wake, and general agitator for (un)civilisation shows how Tristram Stuart's exploration into food production and waste, uncovers some shocking truths: "This is one of those books that everybody should read, but that too few probably will. In particular, it should be read by every politician, bureaucrat, restaurateur and sandwich manufacturer in Britain; anyone with a kitchen and an appetite will benefit, if that is the right word, from reading Waste. It may well change your view of the way we treat food forever. And that goes for those of you who, like me, smugly compost their kitchen waste, grow their own veg, re-use plastic bags and try not to buy any more packaging than necessary. However hard you try, Stuart shows that you are probably contributing to the biggest, most wasteful system of food production the world has ever seen […]
[However,] there are solutions: this is the book's final, hopeful message. Stuart provides us with a manifesto for what he calls "Utrophia" – a land of good eating. He wants to scrap output-based farm subsidies, impose mandatory food-waste production targets on companies, ban the sending of waste food to landfill, ban the discarding of "bycatch" in the fishing industry, and much more. It's a workable, well-researched and practical plan which only awaits a political party to start making it happen." Read the full review from the Independent here: http://ind.pn/2jGCeHf

Meatonomics – David Robinson Simon
Forget 'you are what you eat,' these three writers explain how in today's world it should be 'you are what you buy'. Executive Director of the Good Food Institute, Bruce Friedrich, discusses David Robinson Simon's practical and political solutions to confronting sustainable consumption, he writes: "Simon's solution comes in three parts: An excise tax on all products that contain animal ingredients, a tax credit for every American (basically giving back most of the tax revenues), and a reformulation of the USDA's mission away from promoting the consumption of animal products to instead promote the public health. […] Though enacting Simon's proposals will require a steep climb, Simon makes his case persuasively: The meat industry is harming our health, destroying our environment, and abusing billions of animals annually. As he notes in discussing prospects for his plans: 'Change does happen, often in swift and surprising ways.' Meatonomics deserves a prime spot in the library of everyone who cares about the politics of food."

'Remembrance of Things Past' — Marcel Proust
In an interview with @nybooks, Justice Stephen Breyer explains how we should all relate to Proust: "It's all there in Proust—all mankind! Not only all the different character types, but also every emotion, every imaginable situation. Proust is a universal author: he can touch anyone, for different reasons; each of us can find some piece of himself in Proust, at different ages. For instance, the narrator of the Recherche is obsessed with the Duchesse de Guermantes. To him, Oriane embodies a slice of the history of France and glows like a stained-glass window, wreathed in the aura of her aristocratic lineage." Read the full interview here: http://bit.ly/2jpv75J

'Moby Dick' — Herman Melville
As part of his '100 best novels' series literary editor of The Observer Robert McCrum explains how a new reader can find their own way into the great American epic: 'Moby-Dick is usually described as an elemental novel in which the outsider Ishmael is pitted against the fathomless infinity of the sea, grappling with the big questions of existence. That's not inaccurate, but there's also another Moby-Dick, full of rough humour, sharp comic moments, and witty asides. "Better sleep with a sober cannibal", says Ishmael, when forced to share a bed with the tattooed harpooner Queequeg, "than a drunken Christian." For those readers intimidated by the novel's bleak majesty, I think the humour offers a good way in.' You can read his review here: http://bit.ly/2anKoTp

'Middlemarch' — George Eliot
Anyone would #BeBetter at reading the classics if they owned the special editions on Libreria's shelves. Here are 3 we think you'll enjoy:
The New Yorker's Rebecca Mead describes how she emotionally evolves every time she reads George Eliot's 'Middlemarch': 'I have gone back to 'Middlemarch' every five years or so. In my judgmental twenties, I thought that Ladislaw, with his brown curls and his callow artistic dabbling, was not entirely deserving of Dorothea; by forty, I could better measure the appeal of his youthful energies and Byronic hairdressing, at least to his middle-aged creator, who was fifty-three when the book was published. My identification with Eliot's heroine and my dismissal of her simpler sister was shaken when I became the besotted mother of a son. (To a friend, a professor of English literature, I giddily wrote, 'All these years I've thought of myself as Dorothea, and now I've turned overnight into Celia.') And as I grew older the unfolding of Dorothea's life became less immediately poignant to me than the story of Lydgate, who at the start of the book has the bold aim to 'make a link in the chain of discovery,' but who, thanks to his own misguided marriage, becomes a society doctor known for a treatise on gout—'a disease which has a good deal of wealth on its side,' in Eliot's pointed observation.'

November's edition of 'Nature' reviews 'The Glass Universe': 'There are half a million photographic plates in the Harvard College Observatory collection, all unique. They date to the mid-1880s, and each can display the light from 50,000 stars. These fragments of the cosmos furthered our understanding of the Universe. They also reflect the dedication and intelligence of extraordinary women whose stories are more than astronomical history: they reveal lives of ambition, aspiration and brilliance. It takes a talented writer to interweave professional achievement with personal insight. By the time I finished 'The Glass Universe', Dava Sobel's wonderful, meticulous account, it had moved me to tears.' #Libtriptych #Libreriarecommends #bebetter #naturemagazine #badasswomenofscience

'Storm in a Tea Cup' – Helen Czerski
Sientist Helen Czerski spoke at Second Home on the physics of everyday life in December and we're glad to stock her latest work at Libreria. As Alexander Larman writes in The Guardian this month: 'Helen Czerski's engaging debut book seeks to demystify physics in everyday life, so whether you know your refraction from your reflection, or find the entire subject incomprehensible, this should be an invaluable primer. Dealing with the everyday – such as what really happens when you spill a few drops of coffee, or how magnetism really works – is a winning ploy. It enables Czerski to offer a mixture of erudition and enthusiasm to explain her chosen topics, leading the reader gently by the hand into some surprisingly complicated areas, but mostly keeping the discussion light, accessible and interesting.'

'Seven Brief Lessons on Physics' – Carlo Rovelli
Rovelli is reviewed eloquently in The Scientific American: 'This small book—fewer than 100 pages—contains some large ideas. In a series of translated essays first published in an Italian newspaper, theoretical physicist Rovelli, one of the founders of a popular theory called loop quantum gravity, explains the major concepts of modern physics. His concise and comprehensible writing makes sense of intricate notions such as general relativity, quantum mechanics, cosmology and thermodynamics. Rovelli's enthusiastic and poetic descriptions communicate the essence of these topics without getting bogged down in details.'

'Ways of Seeing' – John Berger
#BeBetter at engaging with art this week with our directions to the galleries, exhibitions and books of the contemporary art world.
Ways of Seeing is a seminal guide for using eyes and mind, and is summarised perfectly by Lesley McDowell in the Independent (2008): "In a world full of reproductions, the currency of art (as much as the currency of the human body) is so much a part of our culture that we barely notice it – except, perhaps, when a Damien Hirst is bought for millions of pounds during the beginnings of a credit crunch. Berger is a political reminder of what that exchange means. Put it on the school curriculum! Every adolescent should read it." #Libtriptych #Libreriarecommends #bebetter #johnberger #theindependent #wecanallbecriticswejusthavetolookproperly
'Gut' – Giulia Enders
Giulia Enders is her name, gut-cleanse is her game. Her excellent book goes some way to explains how our guts seriously factor into our mental and physical wellbeing. Enders opens with the question, 'How does pooing work?' and closes with helpful and effective advice on bacterias. This book is written in an entertaining and informative way, and had reviewers at New Scientist "laughing aloud". In 2017, let's all be grownups and listen to our guts. (Photo: Hong Hao)

'The Life-changing Magic of Tidying' – Marie Kondo
Marie Kondo has seen your sock drawer and she doesn't like it. You will be strangely comforted by her ruthless mantras and commands, and your space will never have looked so good. According to The Guardian review, Kondo has been "obsessed with tidying since she was five, opting to arrange shoes and pencils while other kids played outside. She began communing with her belongings in high school and, after years of work at a Shinto shrine, realised her calling as a professional consultant on attaining the joy of minimalism." Come, join the converted and banish untidiness forever. (Photo: Hong Hao)

'The World Beyond Your Head' – Matthew Crawford
How are your New Year's resolutions holding up? Yup, same here (our dry January is having a rainy season). Libreria this week is recommending 3 books to bully, inspire and cajole you to #BeBetter in work and life for 2017.
Our first is a book by Matthew Crawford. So you've thrown away any distracting physical objects, now it's time to de-clutter your mind-hive. 'The World Beyond Your Head' uses moral philosophy and cognitive science to help you focus on the most important things. The Guardian's Iain Morris comments: "Although its title is suggestive of the breezily written self-help guide, the text transcends this genre to evoke a full-blown philosophical inquiry." (Photo: Hong Hao)

'Ethics in the Real World: 82 Brief Essays on Things That Matter' – Peter Singer
Peter Singer, our guide to the world's moral dilemmas. In September, The Economist reviewed Singer's new collection of essays: "Despite their brevity, the essays do not shirk the big moral questions including perhaps the biggest of all: can there be objectively true answers to the question of how one ought to act? In a piece about 'On What Matters' by Derek Parfit, a philosopher, Mr Singer distils more than 1,400 pages of argument down to a scant three and concurs with him that moral judgments can, indeed, be true or false…However, agreeing with Mr Singer that objective ethical truths exist and imagining anyone, even a moral philosopher, has a monopoly on divining what these might be are not the same. Among the best essays in this collection are those that demonstrate that Mr Singer is alive to the possibility of being wrong …A welcome admission that even a much-feted moral philosopher may sometimes err." Just what we need for 2017… #Libreria #Libtriptych #Libreriarecommends
'How Will Capitalism End?' – Wolfgang Streeck
Historian Adam Tooze delves into Wolfgang Streeck in this week's @londonreviewofbooks: "It has been said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism: Streeck believes we may one day witness the proof of that. Capitalism will end not because it faces serious opposition but because over the course of the coming decades and centuries it can be relied on to consume and destroy its own foundations… 'Life in a society of this kind,' [Streeck] writes, 'demands constant improvisation, forcing individuals to substitute strategy for structure, and offers rich opportunities to oligarchs and warlords while imposing uncertainty and insecurity on all others, in some ways like the long interregnum that began in the fifth century CE and is now called the Dark Age." Heavy! You can find this review in the London Review of Books and many other great magazines now available at Libreria. #Libreria #Libtriptych #Libreriarecommends
'Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue' – Sam Harris & Maajid Nawaz
Libreria is hitting 2017 running and we will be selecting three of our top picks every week, to keep you informed and prepared for the year ahead – after all, chance favours a prepared mind.
Our first pick begins with a dialogue on religion from Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz. Writing in @nytimes Sunday Book Review, Canadian author Irshad Manjinov touches on an engaging discourse: "How refreshing to read an honest yet affectionate exchange between the Islamist-turned-liberal-Muslim Maajid Nawaz and the neuroscientist who advocates mindful atheism, Sam Harris. 'Islam and the Future of Tolerance' begins on an impolitic note. Harris tells Nawaz that to reform Islamic practices one must 'pretend' that 'jihad is just an inner spiritual struggle, whereas it's primarily a doctrine of holy war.' Nawaz counters: 'Religion doesn't inherently speak for itself' because 'no scripture, no book, no piece of writing has its own voice.' Human interpretation is everything." Hear, hear. #Libreria #Libtriptych #Libreriarecommends
'The Beautiful Struggle' Ta-Nehisi Coates
Libreria stocks the freshest, brightest and most distinguished faces on the literary scene.
An exceptional father-son story from National Book Award–winning author of 'Between the World and Me' about realities that test us, myths that sustain us, and the love that ultimately saves us. Coates writes a memoir following life on the journey to manhood in 1980s Baltimore, Black America – a city on the precipice of chaos.

'The Palm-Wine Drinkard' – Amos Tutuola
This novel written in 1952 remains timeless in craft and message and was the first African novel published in English outside of Africa. The tale follows a man whose life revolves around drinking palm wine, a sweet, cloudy alcohol brewed from palm tree sap. After the death of his palm tapster, The Drinkard buries his body and sets out to find him in the land of the dead. Many supernatural perils abound along the journey – and it is a truly haunting and powerful story.

'The Vegetarian' – Han Kang
A beautiful and unsettling novel set in three acts: rebellion and taboo, violence and eroticism, and metamorphosis of the soul. This autobiographical novel follows one woman's physical and mental transformation, after choosing to stop eating meat. From this moment on, she spirals into fantasies of abandoning the fleshly prison of her body to live a a more 'plant-like' existence. This is a surreal and spellbinding read examining the bravery and folly of challenging convention… #LibreriaLondon #bookrecommends #libreriatryptich #southkorea #mmmmkoreanbbq #vegetablesaregoodtoo #weirdanddelightful
Yours Sincerely, Giraffe — Megumi Iwasa & Jun Takabatake
Just imagine, the ethically sourced whole-nut roast has been eaten, the Swedish light box is set to hygge, organic water-free cotton socks have been donned and the little angels are snuggled down with their favourite gift of all: the gift of the printed word. 'Yours Sincerely, Giraffe' chronicles an unlikely pen-pal relationship between giraffe and penguin, attempting to understand one other through letters. There are many touching meditations, like, "Dear Giraffe. When I read your letter, I learned for the first time that there is such a thing as a neck. I think maybe I don't have a neck. Or maybe I am all neck?" A moving story full of unexpected twists, illustrations and rich characters. This story can be read aloud or on your own.

The Fox and The Star — Coralie Bickford-Smith
Bickford-Smith is one of our favourite book cover designers. 'The Fox and The Star' tells of the magical partnership between the two. This book is Coralie Bickford-Smith's own complete project and is illustrated with memorable designs of woodlands, rabbit burrows and bracken. A truly special gift to nurture a child's imagination.

The Land of Nod — Robert Hunter & Robert Louis Stevenson
Hunter here reimagines the classic Stevenson tale, illustrated with blushing pallets of blues and pinks to create enchanting landscapes. It's published by @flyingeyebooks and is one of the reasons why we have asked Robert Hunter to speak at Libreria, in January 2017. We'll be celebrating the re-launch of his amazing graphic novel 'Map of Days'. Find out more at: http://libreria.io/robert-hunter-map-of-days/.

Hate Mail by @mr_bingstagram Mr Bingo sends elaborate abusive postcards to anyone who tweet him with an address. You can expect a vintage view of Blackpool, which on the reverse reads 'Dear Jude, you have a tiny brain', or the Margate Harbour Arm accompanied with 'Dear Jeremy, you are the Quality Street nobody wants.' We long to be insulted by Mr Bingo and recommend for the stocking of someone who has a thick skin, too.

Soviet Bus Stops by Christopher Herwig
St Nicholas called and asked us to help with stocking fillers, so we are providing a selection of @nobrowpress books. (All books are photographed on a beautiful leporello.)
Think of Soviet Union architecture and what comes to mind are brutalist edifices that adhere to strict form and design. But here, bus stops look more like mosaiced curling snakes or scalloped concrete seashells. This lovely compact photographic essay exposes a human expression that defied the totalitarian regimes of the USSR. There's a foreword written by Jonathan Meades; you'll be coming away from this book wiser and more enlightened.

Colourful Chimamanda Ngozi Adichies
4th Estate have released a limited run of the Nigerian novelist's collection in fantastically bright patterns. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichies' writing shines through the pages. If you've not read her before, start with Half a Yellow Sun, an epic of interwoven lives set against a backdrop of 60s Nigeria. It's atmospheric, warm, difficult and uplifting; you'll be recommending it for years. You will want to give this collection its own bookshelf.

Fancy F.Scott Fitzgerald
These reprints of Fitzgerald's writings will transport you back to the decadent jazz age. Not only are his most popular classics here, like 'The Great Gatsby' and 'Tender is the Night', you can also find brilliant essays and short stories in 'Flappers' and 'Philosophers'. These special book jackets feature Coraline Bickford-Smith's lovely designs for Penguin; they are collectables to treasure.

Virginia Woolf – Mrs Dalloway
Not all books are created equal and at Libreria we have the most beautiful you will find, from limited edition reprints of classics to small batches of hardbacks to keep forever.
Visual arts and writing are closely related in the work and life of Woolf. She was central to the Modernist art movement in London, her sister Vanessa Bell designed her first book jackets and her novels take on a movement and texture of abstract and impressionist art far more than the rules of literature. Fitting, then, that Woolf here is reprinted with these expressive covers. They are in square format, making you feel more engaged with the contents within. Small enough to be stocking-fillers, come in and see what titles we have in stock.

Here I Am — Jonathan Safran Foer (Signed by the author)
Jonathan Safran Foer's latest novel is an epic coming of age story exploring contemporary Jewish-American identity and masculinity. It also questions how we think about home, homeland and home-going: what these terms really mean in a world full of uprooted people. Funny, clever, laconic and surprisingly kind, you will no doubt want your edition with the author's signature – the man himself kindly dropped in to sign copies, leaving us all a little star-struck.

Iggy Pop Life Class — Jeremy Deller (Signed by Jeremy Deller)
The singer Iggy Pop posed for a life-drawing class organised by artist Jeremy Deller, this book is the result. Iggy appears here, beautiful and vulnerable, alongside a collection of essays which focus on the study of the human form throughout history. This book is fascinating and sincere, a beautiful object to own.

Grief is a Thing With Feathers by Max Porter (Signed by the author)
Looking for a personal touch for a Christmas gift? Libreria have signed copies of the best books released this year. The ever obliging Max Porter, who has also guest curated a shelf for Libreria, kindly signed a stack of his beguiling debut. The story is of a father and two boys who struggle to get on with life after the tragic passing of the boys' mother. Crow is a figure who watches, bullies and blesses them. Strange and sad, come get copies before they fly away.

Jelly with Bombas and Parr
Ah, jelly, love it or hate it, the Bombas and Parr guide to jelly is a thing of beauty: sculptural jelly, backlit with gorgeous colours, defy gravity as they spring out of mind-boggling molds. This guide was started by two lads who are possibly obsessed with the food. It makes for a surprising and fascinating read and one of the more informative food books we've come across this year. We recommend it wholeheartedly for your most adventurous foodie.

70s dinner Party by Anna Pallai
Anna Pallai delves through the archives of the cookbooks of the 70s. Something is vaguely touching about the persistent belief in aspic and the insistence of hollandaise sauce with every meal. After wincing at the photos and chuckling at comments, there are recipes for you to attempt at home. Buy for a parent who still talks fondly of prawn cocktails.

Lust – Roald Dahl
These amazing new Penguin editions of Dahl stories have brought together all the faves under four different themes; Deception, Madness, Cruelty and Lust. It's such a pleasure to see different stories, many published in magazines or not easily found in other collections, themed in this way. They really bring to the fore the seedy underbelly of Dahl's imagination, it's a wonder any of us let him near our kids. They're all good, but Lust really gets to the heart of his twisted and dark ideas of how humans express desire. True to Dahl's unique vision these strange tales are a spicy version of erotica that will leave you gasping for more.

Can't and Won't – Lydia Davis
If you haven't discovered Lydia Davis yet then you're in for a treat. Micro short stories with some just a couple of sentences long – circular repetition, acrobatic language, simple imagery, she is the queen of understated observation. Each story is a moment, some briefer than others, some from a point of view that is constantly puzzled by the world. Full of love, wit, irritation and sadness; don't be fooled by their brevity, each one will stay with you for a very long time.

Sentencing postponed for man convicted of fraud
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Sentencing has been postponed for a 63-year-old Cedar Falls man convicted of fraud for trying to collect money for a bogus charity concert.
Dennis Leahy was convicted in August of misdemeanor fraud. Police say Leahy asked an organization to set up a charity fundraising concert at McElroy Auditorium in Waterloo, even though the auditorium had not been reserved for such a concert. Charities Leahy had said would benefit hadn't agreed to participate.
Police say Leahy continued handing out flyers and trying to sell tickets after being advised to stop.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Leahy was scheduled to go before a judge on Monday for sentencing. But Leahy, who represented himself during the trial, requested an attorney, prompting the judge to postpone his sentencing until Dec. 28.

On December 29, the press service of the Tula-based Splav State Research and Production Enterprise confirmed that the first batch of new Tornado-S long-range multiple rocket launch systems (MRLS) had been delivered to the Army. The system reached initial operational capability in December 2016, with mass production to get into full swing in 2017.
The Tornado-S is a mobile weapons platform consisting of mover vehicle with integrated crew cab and rear-mounted rocket launcher system. It is designed to strike concentrations of forces, soft and hard-skinned targets, artillery and missile systems.
The system boasts an improved range up to 120 km (75 miles) compared to 90 km range of its predecessor (the Smerch). The accuracy is improved thanks to the use of GLONASS navigation satellite system. Launch readiness time: less than 3 min. Salvo time: 6 rounds in 20 seconds. Reload time: 8 min.
The system features a new automated guidance and fire-control capability to coordinate the combat activities of an entire artillery battalion. The MLRS is also capable of automatically calculating target data.
The new guided rocket launched from 6 artillery tubes has a diameter of 300 millimeter. Dispersion area: 676,000 square meters (7,276,403 square feet), which is roughly equal to at least 100 football fields. According to Russian Zvezda news network, a full salvo of the sophisticated Tornado-S multiple launch rocket system can be compared to a nuclear bombardment as far as killing power is concerned. 300mm is the main caliber but the launcher is capable of supporting 122m and 220m rockets, if need be.
Mounted on the chassis of a KamAZ-63501 8×8 military truck, the Tornado-S system can fire single shots as well as full salvos of 12 guided rockets. They can be launched singularly, by a partial ripple or by a full salvo.
Reloaded within 8 minutes, the Tornado-S can be swiftly moved, before the first of its missiles hits the ground. When the last missile explodes, destroying the target, the system itself could have been moved several kilometres away from the site.
The KamAZ-63501 8×8 heavy utility truck provides good tactical mobility. It has a payload capacity of 15 000 kg. A single container with six launcher tubes for 300-mm rockets can fire all types of rockets, including high explosive fragmentary, incendiary, thermobaric, and cluster with anti-personnel or anti-tank mines.
The weapons system is equipped with an automated laying and all-digital fire control system, along with autonomous satellite navigation and positioning system. Positioning and firing data are exchanged between the launch vehicle and the command vehicle. Thanks to high level of automation, a typical crew is limited to two men only, including a driver.
The vehicle's weight is 24, 5 tons, length: 11, 2 m, width: 2, 5 m, and a height of 3, 15 m.
The KamAZ-63501 has fixtures for transportation of standard removable containers. A standard troop/cargo body has drop sides, drop tailgate and removable tarpaulin with bows. It has a three-person cab with a sleeping berth. This cab can be fitted with add-on armor kit.
The KamAZ-740.50.360 turbocharged diesel engine's power is 360 hp. It has a full-time all-wheel drive. Maximum road speed: 95 km/h. Operational range: 1,000km. Maneuverability: gradient: 60%, side slope: 40%, vertical step: 0,6m, trench: 0.6 – 1.4 m, fording: 1.75 m.
This military truck is fitted with a central tire inflation system and recovery winch. It also boasts an engine pre-heater, which starts the engine when temperature is as low as -50°C.
The Tornado-S will greatly enhance the Army's firepower and allow Russian maintain its traditional technological lead in the multiple rocket systems. Meanwhile, Russia is developing new long-range multiple-launch rocket systems with improved guidance that could allow them to strike targets up to 200 km (120 miles) away.
