April 2019: Dan und Isabel leben mit ihren beiden Kindern in Brooklyn. Doch die Fassade des häuslichen Glücks bekommt erste Risse. Während Violet, fünf Jahre alt, die wachsende Kluft zwischen ihren Eltern auszublenden versucht, unternimmt der zehnjährige Nathan seine ersten unsicheren Schritte in Richtung Unabhängigkeit. Und dann ist da noch Robbie, Isabels Bruder, der aus dem Dachgeschoss ausziehen soll. Und dessen Weggang die Familie auseinanderzureißen droht. 5. April 2020: Als die Welt im Lockdown ist, fühlt sich das Haus in Brooklyn eher wie ein Gefängnis an. Isabel und Dan umkreisen sich misstrauisch. Robbie ist derweil auf Island gestrandet, allein in einer Holzhütte, mit nichts als seinen Gedanken - und seinem geheimen Instagram-Leben - als Gesellschaft. 5. April 2021: Die Familie hat das Schlimmste der Krise überstanden und kommt zusammen, um sich mit einer neuen, ganz anderen Realität auseinanderzusetzen - mit dem, was sie gelernt und was sie verloren haben. Und wie es weitergehen könnte.

Piaty apríl 2019. Na domácej idylke v útulnom brooklynskom dome sa objavujú trhliny. Dan a Isabel, manželia, ktorých vzťah nie je ideálny, sú obaja citovo naviazaní na Isabelinho mladšieho brata Robbieho. Robbie, ktorý býva v podkroví nad ich bytom, práve prekonáva krízu z rozchodu s priateľom avytvoril si zidealizovaný falošný profil na Instagrame. Danov a Isabelin desaťročný syn Nathan zatiaľ podniká prvé neisté kroky smerom k nezávislosti a ich päťročná dcéra Violet sa snaží prehliadať narastajúce napätie medzi rodičmi. Piaty apríl 2020. Z brooklynského domu sa počas lockdownu stáva väzenie. Violet je posadnutá bezpečnosťou svojej rodiny, Nathan sa pokúša obísť jej pravidlá. A Robbie uviazol na Islande v horskom zrube, kde mu robia spoločnosť len vlastné myšlienky a jeho tajný instagramový život. Piaty apríl 2021. Rodina sa po ťažkej kríze vyrovnáva s novou, úplne odlišnou realitou a s tým, čo sa naučili o sebe aj o ostatných. Román Deň Michaela Cunninghama je detailnou a prenikavou meditáciou o láske a strate, o zápasoch a obmedzeniach rodinného života, o tom, ako žiť spolu i bez seba.

Michael Cunningham brings together his Pulitzer Prize–winning novel with the masterpiece that inspired it, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. In The Hours, the acclaimed author Michael Cunningham draws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf and the story of her novel, Mrs. Dalloway, to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair. In this edition, Cunningham brings his own Pulitzer Prize–winning novel together with Woolf’s masterpiece, which has long been hailed as a groundbreaking work of literary fiction and one of the finest novels written in English. The two novels, published side by side with a new introduction by Cunningham, display the extent of their affinity, and each illuminates new facets of the other in this joint volume. In his introduction, Cunningham re-creates the wonderment of his first encounter with Mrs. Dalloway at fifteen—as he writes, “I was lost. I was gone. I never recovered.” With this edition, Cunningham allows us to disappear into the world of Woolf and into his own brilliant mind.

The story revolves around the special bond between Tehya and her father as they spend quality time together. Their adventures highlight the joy of their relationship, showcasing moments of fun, learning, and connection. Through their interactions, the narrative emphasizes the importance of family and the simple pleasures of life.

Get ready for the online adventures of one man who just wants to make friends. And one very annoyed world. Based on the ingenious Sir Michael Twitter account, How to (Almost) Make Friends on the Internet is the funniest book you'll read this year. Whether it's offering his services as a Karate Lawyer or Funeral DJ, devising the world's worst plan to get a free haircut, or trying to buy a blue bucket that may or may not be for sale, Michael just wants to connect with people. The only problem is that people are slightly less enthusiastic about connecting with him, and the results are utterly hilarious. Warning: you'll never think about adding someone called Michael to a group chat the same way ever again.

Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu. Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true.

Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu. Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true. The Beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, buying smokes and a Slim Jim, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A malformed little man with a knack for minor acts of wizardry goes to disastrous lengths to procure a child. A loutish and lazy Jack prefers living in his mother's basement to getting a job, until the day he trades a cow for a handful of magic beans. In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away – the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder – are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation.

The Snow Queen, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation.Michael Cunningham's luminous novel begins with a vision. It's November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visions -- or in God -- but he can't deny what he's seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, a struggling musician, is trying -- and failing -- to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill. Tyler is determined to write a song that will be not merely a sentimental ballad but an enduring expression of love. Barrett, haunted by the light, turns unexpectedly to religion. Tyler grows increasingly convinced that only drugs can release his creative powers. Beth tries to face mortality with as much courage as she can summon. Cunningham follows the Meeks brothers as each travels down a different path in his search for transcendence. In subtle, lucid prose, he demonstrates a profound empathy for his conflicted characters and a singular understanding of what lies at the core of the human soul. The Snow Queen, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation.
