Bernardine Evaristo's 2019 Booker win - the first by a Black woman - was a revolutionary moment both for British culture and for her. After three decades as a trailblazing writer, teacher and activist, she moved from the margins to centre stage, taking her place in the spotlight at last. Her journey was a long one, but she made it, and she made history. MANIFESTO is Bernardine Evaristo's intimate and inspirational, no-holds-barred account of how she did it, refusing to let any barriers stand in her way. She charts her creative rebellion against the mainstream and her life-long commitment to the imaginative exploration of 'untold' stories. And drawing deeply on her own experiences, she offers a vital contribution to current conversations around social issues such as race, class, feminism, sexuality and aging. This is a unique book about staying true to yourself and to your vision. It's about how to be unstoppable - in your craft, your work, your life. It is Bernardine Evaristo's manifesto for never giving up.

Ljubavna priča o Henryju i Clare traži odgovor na pitanje može li ljubav biti bezvremenska. Jer Henry putuje kroz vrijeme, a Clare ne. Henry se zato, kao zarobljenik vremena, iznenada pojavljuje u Clareinu životu i jednako tako iznenada nestaje, uvijek u odgovarajućoj životnoj dobi, ali nesvjestan onoga što se događalo u prijašnjim susretima i životnim epizodama. Clare, pak, živi u jednosmjernom vremenu i čeka ga, svjesna da se on može pojaviti u bilo kojem trenutku njezina života.

O humoru je divno napisana mala knjižica o našoj najljudskijoj osobini; o svemu što nam humor može reći o nama samima. Simon Critchley, filozof, književnik i urednik Routledgeove serije Thinking in Action ispituje neke od najmanje jasnih vidova humora: kako to da se izrugujemo i samoj smrti i smijemo joj se? Ako je humor tako jedinstveno ljudski, zašto se toliko smijemo životinjama? Mnogobrojni primjeri iz književnosti, Swift, Sterne, Bergson, Beckett i Freud otkrivaju nam mnoge sočne i slasne pojedinosti o tome što zapravo smatramo smiješnim. Ostaje međutim nedvojbeno kako je ono najčovječnije u humoru prvenstveno sposobnost ljudi da se smiju sebi samima. Prijevod potpisuje Dragana Vulić-Budanko, a naslovnicu Marina Leskovar.
