New York Times bestselling author Sylvain Reynard returns with the fourth installment of the beloved Gabriel's Inferno series. When Gabriel and Julia Emerson first lay eyes on their newborn daughter, Clare, they realize life as they know it will never be the same. Gabriel has vowed to be a good father when he suddenly receives an invitation to give a series of lectures in Edinburgh, Scotland--an opportunity of high prestige--but that would mean leaving his wife and child in Boston. Hesitant to bring it up, he keeps the opportunity from Julia as long as he can, not knowing she has a secret of her own. When a frightening situation arises that threatens their new family, both parents must make sacrifices. With the family in danger, the looming question remains: Will Gabriel pursue his lectureship in Edinburgh, leaving Julia and Clare vulnerable in Boston, or will he abandon the chance of a lifetime in order to ensure his family's safety?

Electric Village Books

Martin Sparks debut novel is a layer cake of science fiction, medical ethics, and reflections on the borders between science, faith, and politics. In a genre dominated by action stories, tie-ins, and archetypes, the detailed characters and careful science stand out, creating a science fiction story which could unfold in anyone's small town. Twelve-year-old Rosetta has a problem. God speaks to her and fills her life with joy and certainty she longs to share. But on top of the usual problem that no one listens to kids, whenever she tries to talk about God, people send her to "specialists." Worse yet, the latest trip to a specialist went horribly wrong, stranding her in remote Ithaca, New York, far from her home laboratory. So she must search for family in this strange country of lonely people, and despite what kings, priests, and scholars say about her, carry on heeding the voices in her head. But powerful forces stalk Rosie. A high technology firm is desperate to get her back before their rivals get a chance to study her. A government both threatened and tempted by the secrets she embodies needs them to stay secret - one way or another. And a powerful few who take prophesy very seriously are unwilling to let Rosie's version of God interfere with their implementation of the scriptures. Rosetta's allies are few. A fire investigator stumped by an eight foot circle of glass burned into concrete, an unhappily retired workaholic, a Pakistani woman on the run from the Taliban, and a restless university professor are all connected by the girl. But when each of them seems unable to cope with their own lives, how will they curb excesses of science, religion, and politics- and save a child? A sweeping narrative... Rosetta's story touches on an array of timely themes, ranging from Christian fundamentalism to genetic engineering to domestic terrorism...A compelling mystery. - Kirkus Review

Gerald S. Martin

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
2009

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, author of the modern classic One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera, is one of the greatest and most popular writers of the late-twentieth century. As Gerald Martin tells the story of the author's fascinating rise to wealth and international fame, he reveals the tensions in Garcia Marquez's life between celebrity and literary quality, between politics and writing, and between power, solitude and love. Interviewing more than three hundred people including Fidel Castro, Felipe Gonzalez, Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa, the author's large family as well as 'Gabo' himself, Martin immerses himself in Garcia Marquez's world. This at first 'tolerated' and now 'official' biography is as gripping and revealing as the writer's journalism and as complex and involving as any of his fiction.

Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and their Poets

Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and their Poets

Graham Johnson

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2009
sidottu
The career of Gabriel Fauré as a composer of songs for voice and piano traverses six decades (1862-1921); almost the whole history of French mélodie is contained within these parameters. In the 1860s Fauré, the lifelong protégé of Camille Saint-Saëns, was a suavely precocious student; he was part of Pauline Viardot's circle in the 1870s and he nearly married her daughter. Pointed in the direction of symbolist poetry by Robert de Montesquiou in 1886, Fauré was the favoured composer from the early 1890s of Winnarretta Singer, later Princesse de Polignac, and his songs were revered by Marcel Proust. In 1905 he became director of the Paris Conservatoire, and he composed his most profound music in old age. His existence, steadily productive and outwardly imperturbable, was undermined by self-doubt, an unhappy marriage and a tragic loss of hearing. In this detailed study Graham Johnson places the vocal music within twin contexts: Fauré's own life story, and the parallel lives of his many poets. We encounter such giants as Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine, the patrician Leconte de Lisle, the forgotten Armand Silvestre and the Belgian symbolist Charles Van Lerberghe. The chronological range of the narrative encompasses Fauré's first poet, Victor Hugo, who railed against Napoleon III in the 1850s, and the last, Jean de La Ville de Mirmont, killed in action in the First World War. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated study each of Fauré's 109 songs receives a separate commentary. Additional chapters for the student singer and serious music lover discuss interpretation and performance in both aesthetical and practical terms. Richard Stokes provides parallel English translations of the original French texts. In the twenty-first century musical modernity is evaluated differently from the way it was assessed thirty years ago. Fauré is no longer merely a 'Master of Charms' circumscribed by the belle époque. His status as a great composer of timeless

Gabriel Okara, a prize-winning author whose literary career spans six decades, is rightly hailed as the elder statesman of Nigerian literature. The first Modernist poet of anglophone Africa, he is best known for The Fisherman’s Invocation (1978), The Dreamer, His Vision (2005), and for his early experimental novel, The Voice (1964). Arranged in six sections, Gabriel Okara: Collected Poems includes the poet’s earliest lyric verse along with poems written in response to Nigeria’s war years; literary tributes and elegies to fellow poets, activists, and loved ones long dead; and recent dramatic and narrative poems. The introduction by Brenda Marie Osbey contextualizes Okara’s work in the history of Nigerian, African, and English language literatures. Gabriel Okara: Collected Poems is at once a treasure for those long in search of a single authoritative edition and a revelation and timely introduction for readers new to the work of one of Africa’s most revered poets.
