Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Patricia Francisco has done that rare thing; write with honesty about the act of evil and about her slow trudge to health in its aftermath. Her story is important for every woman to hear and every man to know. This book is impressive and very moving.' Louise ErdrichIn this intimate memoir, P…atricia Weaver Francisco tells of her fifteen-year journey to recognize and overcome the effects of rape. Francisco explores key aspects of a women's life in the aftermath of rapepassion, marriage, solitude, childbirth, motherhood.She invites the reader into her life and into the questions raised by a crime with no obvious solutions or easy answers. We see the dimensions of a human struggle often kept hidden from view. While there are millions of rape survivors in the United States, rape is still too often left out of our personal and cultural conversations. InTelling, Francisco has found a language for the secret grief carried by people who have survived rape.Describing her fear during and after the rape in a visceral style, Francisco details her transformation of trauma into strength. This transformation begins by learning to talk about rape, to understand the resistance she encounters in herself and others.She chronicles a complex journey and wrestles with spiritual despair, outrage, and a longing for justice. But with awareness comes the return of pleasure, hunger, and desire. She reminds us how 'beautiful the dignity of truth can be' and inspires in us a desire to listen, to know the truths that can transform our own lives. She also gives us a clear portrait of the tragic consequences for the survivorand our culturewhen we neglect this human story.Told with grace and a soul-stirring eloquence,Tellingis, in the end, a form of power. It will leave you with a sense of hope and a renewed appreciation for life's possibilities. A compelling book,Tellingwill push the conversations that can bring hope and healing to the women who need it, and to their loved ones trying to help them.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The new novel from Richard Francis, the acclaimed author of Taking Apart the Poco Poco, is a bittersweet portrait of the Willis family, who live in a small terraced house in 1940s Stockport. Fat Hen is a novel about the inner and outer lives we create for ourselves and how they impinge on eac…h other, sometimes even without our realising it.It's Stockport, 1948, and an ordinary family, Rose and Jack Willis, their son Donald, and Rose's father Ernie, are living apparently uneventful existences in a small terraced house. Things are not what they seem. While moving a piano Jack makes a discovery that enables him to create an alternative life for himself, unknown to his nearest and dearest. Rose, comforting an acquaintance whose son died shortly before he was due to appear at a municipal ball, finds herself having an experience that she simply can't put a name to. Ernie becomes increasingly absorbed by his two main interests, executions and the novels of Sir Walter Scott, and discovers that these obsessions have a part to play in his own destiny. Young Donald convinces himself that he died at the age of six, and that his whole existence is a fantasy of the afterlife.'The narrowed ration-book existence of the Willis family seems uneventful, but each character has secrets and dreams. Through a complex of narrative voices and curious vantage points, Francis cleverly reveals the almost magical significance of the lives of people who seek to escape the humdrum throught their imaginings.' Harpers & Queen.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this incisive and controversial exposé of the hidden effects of today's free-market capitalism, Edward Luttwak describes in powerful detail how it vastly differs from the controlled capitalism that flourished from 1945 to the 1980s. Turbo-capitalism is private enterprise liberated from gov…ernment regulation, unchecked by effective trade unions, unfettered by concerns for employees or communities, and unhindered by taxation or investment restrictions. The winners in this free-for-all are getting much richer, while the losers are becoming poorer and are forced by downsizing to take the traditional jobs of the underclass. Led by the United States, closely followed by Britain, turbo-capitalism is spreading fast throughout Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world without the two great forces that check its enormous power in the United States: a powerful Legal system and the stringent rules of American calvinism. Luttwak exposes the major societal upheavals and inequities turbo-capitalism causes and the broad dissatisfaction and anxiety that may result.
