Mary er 23 år, arkitektstuderende og lever i et militærdiktatur. Hun har en kæreste som er politisk aktiv og planlægger et oprør. En novembernat 1973 arresteres hun for statsfjendtlig virksomhed. I tretten døgn tilbageholdes hun i sikkerhedstjenestens berygtede hovedkvarter. Senere sendes hun, nogle andre kvinder og en dreng til en fangeø. Tilværelsen er sat på lavt blus, samhørigheden det eneste de kan stole på. Til sidst er spørgsmålet: Hvem bestemmer over et liv? Aris Fioretos’ roman er en passionshistorie om en ungt menneskes frihedslængsel, en beretning om politisk vold og kvinders fællesskab. Men først og fremmest handler den om kroppen - dens smerte og begær, dens længsel og hemmeligste forvandlinger. «Det er ikke bare en strålende roman. Det er en dybt gribende roman.» – NT Nomineret til Augustprisen Sveriges Radios Romanpris

Vuonna 1816 vain 18-vuotias Mary Shelley kirjoittaa ikonisen tarinan Frankensteinin hirviöstä. Samana kesänä Mary ja hänen rakastajansa Percy Shelley vierailevat lordi Byronin ja John Polidorin luona Genevenjärvellä. Ystävät viettävät pitkiä iltoja nuotiolla, juovat oopiumilla maustettua viiniä ja lukevat toisilleen kummitusjuttuja. Eräänä iltana lordi Byron ehdottaa, että he kaikki kirjoittaisivat omat kauhutarinansa.Mary matkustaa muistoissaan Skotlantiin, missä hän oli neljä vuotta aiemmin viettänyt kesän ja tavannut Isabella Baxterin. Kun Mary rakastuu Isabellaan, he sukeltavat arvoitukselliseen seikkailuun, jossa todellisuutta on vaikea erottaa kuvitelmasta. Tästä muistosta syntyy hänen tarinansa Frankensteinin hirviöstä.Mary Shelley oli feministi ennen kuin sanaa oli keksitty, nuori äiti ja kiehtova kirjailija. Anne Eekhout herättää hänet henkiin tässä omaperäisessä romaanissa.
Mary P. on kreikkalainen 23-vuotias arkkitehtuurin opiskelija sotilasjuntan johtamassa eteläeurooppalaisessa maassa. Hänellä on poliittisesti aktiivinen poikaystävä Dimos, joka suunnittelee sotilasdiktatuurin vastaisia toimia. Eräänä marraskuisena yönä mielenosoitus kerää jälleen nuoria opiskelijoita yhteen. Mary etsii Dimosta väkijoukosta kertoakseen olevansa raskaana, mutta hänet pidätetään valtionvastaisesta toiminnasta: alkaa vuorokausia kestävä piina suojelupoliisin mielivaltaisissa ja väkivaltaisissa oloissa viiden muun naisen kanssa. Kuka lopulta päättää kenenkin elämästä? Ja mitä kaikkea nuori Mary joutuu suojelemaan?Aris Fioretoksen palkittu romaani Mary kertoo vapaudenkaipuusta. Samalla se on kertomus poliittisesta väkivallasta ja naisten yhteenkuuluvuudesta epäinhimillisissä pidätysolosuhteissa. Keho, sen kipu, kyyneleet ja näkymättömät muutokset ovat myös osa romaanin koskettavaa kudosta.
The Angel came. The birth was foretold. The calling was accepted. The betrothal was mended. The prophecies were confirmed. The journey was travelled. The baby was born. We all know the story of Mary, right? A humble girl counted as righteous and tasked with one of the most significant journeys in history: to be the mother of the Son of God. But how much would her obedience really have cost? How shocking would the way in which Jesus came truly have been? And much pain would the rest of her road been marked by? When we take a deeper look into Mary's journey, we find it isn't just angels' songs and wisemen's gifts. Rather her calling was miraculous, her obedience remarkable and her road more relatable to our live's today than you may realize.

So be diligent, be faithful and open your heart to the potential work that God wants to do in your life.
The Virgin Mary is a ubiquitous but enigmatic presence in Christian history and culture. The tradition about Mary forms a vast and multi-layered aspect of Western history, culture and spirituality. It is not just in the Catholic tradition that Mary has become a particular focus of study and interest. Mary has also become a crucial interest for Christians outside this tradition (Protestant, Anglican) as a path to ecumenical understanding. This Handbook is intended as a reference for the student or scholar seeking knowledge of the history and contemporary practice of the cult of the Virgin Mary. It provides new essays that give overviews of particular areas of study - both historical and thematic - together with texts from primary sources and important scholarly articles, some of which appear in English for the first time. The book is divided into five Parts. Part One looks at the Virgin Mary in Earliest Christianity, Part Two focuses on the Middle Ages - the period in which the Virgin's cult developed to its greatest extent. Part Three deals with Mariology, or theological doctrines surrounding the Virgin, such as the Assumption and the Immaculate Conception. Part Four considers traditions of devotion to Mary, including the development of the rosary and Marian apparitions. Part Five examines the image of Mary in Art, Literature, and Film.
Lavinia Greenlaw’s mesmerising debut novel about growing up in the surreal banality of mid-’70s Essex. Lavinia Greenlaw puts before us the monochrome, immemorial middle England of the 1970s in all its dowdy glory, and has us see through the mercurial, bewitching Mary George’s eyes how a seemingly static landscape is suddenly illuminated by the most vivid bursts of energy, colour and drama. Punk’s torch flares into life and singes the fringes of England. Mary George bears witness and burns brighter still: she is more memorable than even the extraordinary events around her, and the reader will find it devastatingly hard to leave her company at the end of this exceptional debut about growing up under the shadow of an unknowable, inescapable small-town mystery.
