The Luminaries
The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this 'expertly written, perfectly constructed' bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.

Birnam Wood
A gripping psychological thriller from the BookerPrize-winning and bestselling author of The Luminaries.
Birnam Wood
FROM THE WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE Birnam Wood is on the move... A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in New Zealand's South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadn't figured on the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place. Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other? A propulsive literary thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. It is a brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, and an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.

Eleanorille kuuluu ihan hyvää, Ljudbok
"Hauska, koskettava ja ennalta arvaamaton." - Jojo Moyes Saanko esitellä Eleanorin, vuoden epätodennäköisimmän sankarin? "Eleanorille kuuluu ihan hyvää" kertoo hykerryttävästi ja silti liikuttavasti yksinäisyydestä. Eleanor elää yksinään jämptisti organisoitua elämää. Joka päivä töissä hän käyttää samoja vaatteita ja nauttii samanlaisen lounaan. Hän ei oikein osaa olla ihmisten kanssa vaan sanoa paukauttaa äkkiväärästi mitä ajattelee. Kun työviikko on takana, Eleanor katoaa kotiinsa noutopizzan ja votkapullon kanssa eikä puhu kenellekään ennen maanantaita. Ainoat kontaktit joita Eleanor näyttää pitävän yllä, ovat viikoittaiset puhelut äidille ja sosiaalityöntekijän käynnit. Vaikka Eleanor on vasta nuori aikuinen, hän elää kuin kaikki olisi jo ohi. Miksi Eleanor on sellainen kuin on? Yksi ystävällinen teko työtoverilta alkaa murtaa muuria Eleanorin ympäriltä, ja lopulta Eleanor saa huomata lohdullisesti: koskaan ei ole liian myöhäistä. Mikään."Tämä kaistapäinen, hurmaava romaani kietoo sinut pauloihinsa huumorillaan... Hulvaton ja koskettava." - People

Eleanor & Park
A gorgeous first-ever-paperback edition featuring sprayed edges with a stenciled script design. Bono met his wife in high school, Park says. So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers. I'm not kidding, he says. You should be, she says, we're 16. What about Romeo and Juliet? Shallow, confused, then dead. I love you, Park says. Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers. I'm not kidding, he says. You should be. Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love--and just how hard it pulled you under.

Eleanor Marx
The extraordinary and dramatic biography of the first modern feminist, who spent her entire life fighting for the principle of equality 'Gripping ... Most lives would be overshadowed by such a melodramatic end. But Marx’s life was so much more than a murder mystery, as Rachel Holmes’s gripping and vividly told biography demonstrates' Sunday Times 'Superb ... The story of this remarkable life is so well told, with a rare combination of pace, verve and scholarship' Jeanette Winterson, Daily Telegraph Unrestrained by convention, lion-hearted and free, Eleanor Marx (1855-98) was an exceptional woman. Hers was the first English translation of Flaubert’s Mme Bovary. She pioneered the theatre of Henrik Ibsen. She was the first woman to lead the British dock workers' and gas workers’ trades unions. For years she worked tirelessly for her father, Karl Marx, as personal secretary and researcher. Later she edited many of his key political works, and laid the foundations for his biography. But

Eleanor Roosevelt
Presiding in the White House longer than any other first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt championed the downtrodden as she traveled the globe, yet she was a maze of contradictions—an idealist who carried on a moneymaking career that depended on her position and a conventional-appearing wife and mother who found emotional succor from intense relationships outside her family. This book cuts through those contradictions to reveal how Eleanor operated, both in and out of public view, to advance the causes in which she believed by participating in the political process. Although previous books have dealt with Eleanor Roosevelt, this is the first to focus on her White House years. Maurine Beasley, a scholar with extensive knowledge of Eleanor's life and times, provides a detailed examination of the innovative first lady that will enlighten those who think they already know her. Rich with detail, it effectively links her social activism from her early life, through the White House years, and to her
