Now a journalist is following them. When Stieg Larsson died, the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had been working on a true mystery that out-twisted his Millennium novels: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister. It was the first time in history that a head of state had been murdered without a clue who'd done it--and on a Stockholm street at point-blank range. Internationally known for his fictional villains, Larsson was well acquainted with their real-life counterparts and documented extremist activities throughout the world. For years he'd been amassing evidence that linked their terrorist acts to what he called \"one of the most astounding murder cases\" he'd ever covered. Larsson's archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author's secret project. In The Man Who Played with Fire, Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson's true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world's most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24qp74ghhkeb2y0q5hd7zr.jpg?v=e13a6d24d3","L58;Y[tS0MWB{c-pJ8RjHYsmtRt6",2019,488,[89],{"id":90,"slug":91,"name":92},"01kx24qp70y5yfa0qj3kp7pkhq","jan-stocklassa-pbwk","Jan Stocklassa",[94,95,99,100],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":103,"themes":106,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[104,105],"mysterious","tense",[],{"id":108,"slug":109,"title":110,"description":111,"primary_cover_url":112,"cover_blurhash":113,"first_publish_year":114,"community_rating_avg":115,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":117,"authors":118,"genres":123,"series":131,"enrichment":132},"01kx27x0zfy7717e25mtdap2qb","notes-on-a-silencing-su72","Notes on a Silencing","\"When the elite St. Paul's School came under state investigation after extensive reports of sexual abuse on campus, Lacy Crawford thought she'd put behind her the assault she'd suffered decades before, when she was fifteen. Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society. An insightful, mature, beautifully written memoir, Notes on a Silencing is an arresting coming-of-age story that wrestles with an essential question for our time: what telling of a survivor's story will finally force a remedy?\" --","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27x101a6ywejp2trpeyt23.jpg?v=195a73f9bc","LEBp5w_0Ipt6~n?FxDs.^%t7D+Rk",2020,"3.00",1,400,[119],{"id":120,"slug":121,"name":122},"01kx27x0zrw9wv52302kf5f000","lacy-crawford-9d4g","Lacy Crawford",[124,128,129,130],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":16},89,"Memoir","memoir",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":134,"themes":137,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[135,136,105],"dark","reflective",[],{"id":139,"slug":140,"title":141,"description":142,"primary_cover_url":143,"cover_blurhash":144,"first_publish_year":145,"community_rating_avg":146,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":147,"authors":148,"genres":153,"series":161,"enrichment":162},"01kx23jnsw322gpqmw2n0xsfmt","i-am-the-central-park-jogger-a-story-of-hope-and-possibility-vqw6","I Am the Central Park Jogger A Story of Hope and Possibility","A timeless, “triumphant” (Entertainment Weekly) story of healing and recovery from the victim of a crime that shocked the nation: the Central Park Jogger.

Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour magazine, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Street professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into extraordinary healing and victorious life.

On a fateful day in February 2002, campaign manager Clara Rojas accompanied longtime friend and presidential hopeful Ingrid Betancourt into an area controlled by the powerful leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Armed with machine guns and grenades, the FARC took them hostage and kept them in the jungle for the next six years. After more than two years of captivity deep in the Colombian jungle, surrounded by jaguars, snakes, and tarantulas, miles from any town or hospital, Clara Rojas prepared to give birth in a muddy tent surrounded by heavily armed guerrillas. Her captors promised that a doctor would be brought to the camp to help her. But when Rojas went into labor and began to suffer complications, the only person on hand was a guerrilla wielding a kitchen knife. The guerrillas drugged Rojas with anesthetic while one of them slit open her abdomen. Her son, Emmanuel, was born by amateur cesarean section in April 2004. His survival was miraculous, but her joy was soon cut short when the FARC took him from her when he was only eight months old. For the next three years, Clara was given no information about him, but her desire to one day see him again kept her alive. In early 2008, Clara was finally liberated and reunited with her son—to whom this book is dedicated.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx261n3qvk971kpa1ts0fx2t.jpg?v=673ddaa912","LIFhg:baE3XO-ixYnRoe|@NIIsjI",2010,256,[175],{"id":176,"slug":177,"name":178},"01kx261n3k5t80xy0mzb61mdmq","clara-rojas-3jsp","Clara Rojas",[180,181,182],{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":185,"themes":187,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[105,135,186],"hopeful",[],{"id":189,"slug":190,"title":191,"description":192,"primary_cover_url":193,"cover_blurhash":194,"first_publish_year":114,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":195,"authors":196,"genres":201,"series":213,"enrichment":214},"01kx24ty5x3bbkyn2efjcrncca","we-keep-the-dead-close-t26i","We Keep the Dead Close","FINALIST FOR THE J.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",506,[197],{"id":198,"slug":199,"name":200},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[202,203,204,208,209],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":205,"name":206,"slug":207,"is_fiction":16},79,"Education","education",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},{"id":210,"name":211,"slug":212,"is_fiction":16},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":215,"themes":217,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[105,135,216],"thought-provoking",[218],"mystery-box",{"id":220,"slug":221,"title":222,"description":223,"primary_cover_url":224,"cover_blurhash":225,"first_publish_year":226,"community_rating_avg":146,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":227,"authors":228,"genres":233,"series":238,"enrichment":239},"01kx23z03dzj3e7ja6t8fa2b9v","not-my-type-one-woman-vs-a-president-6q6d","Not My Type One Woman Vs. a President","AN INSTANT INDIE, USA TODAY, AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! \"Delightful . . .

She has been back to London countless times since, through the pages of books and in person, and now, in Imagined London, she takes her own readers on a tour of this greatest of literary cities.While New York, Paris, and Dublin are also vividly portrayed in fiction, it is London, Quindlen argues, that has always been the star, both because of the primacy of English literature and the specificity of city descriptions. She bases her view of the city on her own detailed literary map, tracking the footsteps of her favorite characters: the places where Evelyn Waugh's bright young things danced until dawn, or where Lydia Bennett eloped with the dastardly Wickham.In Imagined London, Quindlen walks through the city, moving within blocks from the great books of the 19th century to the detective novels of the 20th to the new modernist tradition of the 21st. With wit and charm, Imagined London gives this splendid city its full due in the landscape of the literary imagination.Praise for Imagined London:\"Shows just how much a reading experience can enrich a physical journey.\" —New York Times Book Review\"An elegant new work of nonfiction...

Despite attempts to keep women from competing, Babe achieved All-American status in basketball and won gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Olympics. Then Babe attempted to conquer golf. One of the founders of the LPGA, Babe won more consecutive tournaments than any golfer in history. At the height of her fame, she was diagnosed with cancer. Babe would then take her most daring step of all: go public and try to win again with the hope of inspiring the world. A rollicking saga, stretching across the first half of the 20th century, WONDER GIRL is as fresh, heartfelt, and graceful as Babe herself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23q0sajhx2a8e3hwmzjtsy.jpg?v=22a3e496c5","L38qB3xuWX~W_2-;ofIV00-:%24o",2011,410,[278,282],{"id":279,"slug":280,"name":281},"01kx23q0s4hxpggq3hv357m5zq","don-van-natta-f4bt","Don Van Natta",{"id":283,"slug":284,"name":285},"01kx23q0s7rbm8q9gs76g22n3y","don-van-natta-jr-9xwt","Don Van Natta Jr.",[287,288,289,290],{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},{"id":291,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":16},78,"Health","health",[],{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":296,"themes":297,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[71,72],[298,299],"coming-of-age","underdog",{"id":301,"slug":302,"title":303,"description":304,"primary_cover_url":305,"cover_blurhash":306,"first_publish_year":307,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":308,"authors":309,"genres":314,"series":317,"enrichment":318},"01kx269xvwm17ma70thqfybqqd","death-in-the-air-the-true-story-of-a-serial-killer-the-great-london-smog-and-the-strangling-of-a-city-vbng","Death in the Air The True Story of a Serial Killer, the Great London Smog, and the Strangling of a City","A real-life thriller in the vein of The Devil in the White City, Kate Winkler Dawson's debut Death in the Air is a gripping, historical narrative of a serial killer, an environmental disaster, and an iconic city struggling to regain its footing. London was still recovering from the devastation of World War II when another disaster hit: for five long days in December 1952, a killer smog held the city firmly in its grip and refused to let go. Day became night, mass transit ground to a halt, criminals roamed the streets, and some 12,000 people died from the poisonous air. But in the chaotic aftermath, another killer was stalking the streets, using the fog as a cloak for his crimes. All across London, women were going missing—poor women, forgotten women. Their disappearances caused little alarm, but each of them had one thing in common: they had the misfortune of meeting a quiet, unassuming man, John Reginald Christie, who invited them back to his decrepit Notting Hill flat during that dark winter. They never left. The eventual arrest of the \"Beast of Rillington Place\" caused a media frenzy: were there more bodies buried in the walls, under the floorboards, in the back garden of this house of horrors? Was it the fog that had caused Christie to suddenly snap? And what role had he played in the notorious double murder that had happened in that same apartment building not three years before—a murder for which another, possibly innocent, man was sent to the gallows? The Great Smog of 1952 remains the deadliest air pollution disaster in world history, and John Reginald Christie is still one of the most unfathomable serial killers of modern times. Journalist Kate Winkler Dawson braids these strands together into a taut, compulsively readable true crime thriller about a man who changed the fate of the death penalty in the UK, and an environmental catastrophe with implications that still echo today.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx269xw9w37aj4phxahe1rb6.jpg?v=63645dcfc4","LrJ[Cs%Lt7of~qt6RjWBD%ayWBWB",2017,329,[310],{"id":311,"slug":312,"name":313},"01kx269xw5a0knpaqhhzbztbxp","kate-winkler-dawson-mptt","Kate Winkler Dawson",[315,316],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":319,"themes":320,"setting_period":7,"summary":304,"content_warnings":7},[135,105,104],[],{"id":322,"slug":323,"title":324,"description":325,"primary_cover_url":326,"cover_blurhash":327,"first_publish_year":307,"community_rating_avg":328,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":329,"authors":330,"genres":339,"series":356,"enrichment":357},"01kjr37ar04n3ev8epzkd6tsj4","make-your-bed-qsda","Make Your Bed","Admiral William H.

How does a girl—abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies—find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you’ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.” —MALALA YOUSAFZAI ​ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 SELECTED BY VULTURE, TIME, ESQUIRE, NPR, AND VOGUE! Young Nadia Owusu followed her father, a United Nations official, from Europe to Africa and back again. Just as she and her family settled into a new home, her father would tell them it was time to say their goodbyes. The instability wrought by Nadia’s nomadic childhood was deepened by family secrets and fractures, both lived and inherited. Her Armenian American mother, who abandoned Nadia when she was two, would periodically reappear, only to vanish again. Her father, a Ghanaian, the great hero of her life, died when she was thirteen. After his passing, Nadia’s stepmother weighed her down with a revelation that was either a bombshell secret or a lie, rife with shaming innuendo. With these and other ruptures, Nadia arrived in New York as a young woman feeling stateless, motherless, and uncertain about her future, yet eager to find her own identity. What followed, however, were periods of depression in which she struggled to hold herself and her siblings together. “A magnificent, complex assessment of selfhood and why it matters” (Elle), Aftershocks depicts the way she hauled herself from the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she has finally come to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on is the one written into existence by her own hand. “Full of narrative risk and untrammeled lyricism” (The Washington Post), Aftershocks joins the likes of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight and William Styron’s Darkness Visible, and does for race identity what Maggie Nelson does for gender identity in The Argonauts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ezfaspm4khb55e9hdag3g.jpg?v=abd45b6424","LZM3Tb=Y}qW,:+O=,pt7BoIpwgV[",2021,320,[387],{"id":388,"slug":389,"name":390},"01kx2ezfanvz9stpf6aa86geg2","nadia-owusu-iafq","Nadia Owusu",[392,393,394],{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":397,"themes":399,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[398,136,71],"emotional",[],{"id":401,"slug":402,"title":403,"description":404,"primary_cover_url":405,"cover_blurhash":406,"first_publish_year":86,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":407,"authors":408,"genres":413,"series":417,"enrichment":418},"01kx2951hfcerganp7n353sa9r","more-than-enough-dqal","More Than Enough","INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2020 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK — BIOGRAPHY\u002FAUTOBIOGRAPHY NOW OPTIONED FOR DEVELOPMENT AS A TV SERIES BY PARAMOUNT TELEVISION STUDIOS AND ANONYMOUS CONTENT “The millennial Becoming . . .

In this riveting and timely memoir, the groundbreaking journalist unpacks lessons on race, identity, and success through her own journey, from navigating her way as the unstoppable child of an unlikely interracial marriage in small-town California to finding herself on the frontlines of a modern movement for the next generation of change makers. Welteroth moves beyond the headlines and highlight reels to share the profound lessons and struggles of being a barrier-breaker across so many intersections. As a young boss and often the only Black woman in the room, she’s had enough of the world telling her—and all women—they’re not enough. As she learns to rely on herself by looking both inward and upward, we’re ultimately reminded that we’re more than enough.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2951hvycexjx9g5ghk8ph0.jpg?v=3a2f5f2ce7","LACke^f33?.93?x^.-IT@ZNaGtw|",338,[409],{"id":410,"slug":411,"name":412},"01kx2951hq32fpemv91gbg5wwv","elaine-welteroth-yqs4","Elaine Welteroth",[414,415,416],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":16},{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":419,"themes":420,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[71,136],[],{"id":422,"slug":423,"title":424,"description":425,"primary_cover_url":426,"cover_blurhash":427,"first_publish_year":114,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":428,"authors":429,"genres":434,"series":445,"enrichment":446},"01kx24zszjne5nre9v4px87r6p","welcome-to-the-united-states-of-anxiety-observations-from-a-reforming-neurotic-icn7","Welcome to the United States of Anxiety Observations from a Reforming Neurotic","A Wall Street Journal bestseller. New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster is here to help you chill the hell out. When did USA become shorthand for the United States of Anxiety? From the moment Americans wake up, we're bombarded with all-new terrifying news about crime, the environment, politics, and stroke-inducing foods we've been enjoying for years. We're judged by social media's faceless masses, pressured into maintaining a Pinterest-perfect home, and expected to base our self-worth on retweets, faves, likes, and followers. Our collective FOMO, and the disparity between the ideal and reality, is leading us to spend more and feel worse. No wonder we're getting twitchy. Save for an Independence Day-style alien invasion, how do we begin to escape from the stressors that make up our days? Jen Lancaster is here to take a hard look at our elevating anxieties, and with self-deprecating wit and levelheaded wisdom, she charts a path out of the quagmire that keeps us frightened of the future and ashamed of our imperfectly perfect human lives. Take a deep breath, and her advice, and you just might get through a holiday dinner without wanting to disown your uncle.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24zszwedvs19tq67vxh7p3.jpg?v=9ff3146129","LGP~i{ivTI%LITROSzbb~XkX=|t8",288,[430],{"id":431,"slug":432,"name":433},"01kx24zszryj8z6dqsn3besyaf","jen-lancaster-xp7x","Jen Lancaster",[435,436,440,441],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":16},{"id":437,"name":438,"slug":439,"is_fiction":16},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},{"id":442,"name":443,"slug":444,"is_fiction":15},119,"Humor","humor",[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":447,"themes":449,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[448,136],"funny",[298],{"id":80,"slug":81,"title":82,"description":83,"primary_cover_url":84,"cover_blurhash":85,"first_publish_year":86,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":87,"authors":451,"genres":453,"series":458,"enrichment":459},[452],{"id":90,"slug":91,"name":92},[454,455,456,457],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":460,"themes":461,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[104,105],[],{"id":220,"slug":221,"title":222,"description":223,"primary_cover_url":224,"cover_blurhash":225,"first_publish_year":226,"community_rating_avg":146,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":227,"authors":463,"genres":465,"series":470,"enrichment":471},[464],{"id":230,"slug":231,"name":232},[466,467,468,469],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":16},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":16},{"id":210,"name":211,"slug":212,"is_fiction":16},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":65,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":472,"themes":473,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[105,71],[],{"key":475,"params":476,"works":477},"genre_mood",{"genre":34,"mood":70},[478,496,528,556],{"id":479,"slug":480,"title":481,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":482,"cover_blurhash":483,"first_publish_year":172,"community_rating_avg":146,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":7,"authors":484,"genres":489,"series":492,"enrichment":493},"01kx2cs38jh9peyvvp092mvgcr","secretariats-meadow-the-land-the-family-the-legend-dl56","Secretariats Meadow The Land The Family The Legend","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2cs392ga7gp1ptshwaatfs.jpg?v=1c208170c2","L9Dj-H100i}r1g=H,?NuJU$$NGEh",[485],{"id":486,"slug":487,"name":488},"01kx2cs38ye18gx0521px6vb28","wayne-dementi-rkd5","Wayne Dementi",[490,491],{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":494,"themes":495,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[71,70],[],{"id":497,"slug":498,"title":499,"description":500,"primary_cover_url":501,"cover_blurhash":502,"first_publish_year":503,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":504,"authors":505,"genres":510,"series":523,"enrichment":524},"01kx26ynsmsagqbwgrwm0p6wn2","beautiful-exiles-ifeg","Beautiful Exiles","Key West, 1936. Headstrong, accomplished journalist Martha Gellhorn is confident with words but less so with men when she meets disheveled literary titan Ernest Hemingway in a dive bar. Their friendship--forged over writing, talk, and family dinners--flourishes into something undeniable in Madrid while they're covering the Spanish Civil War. Martha reveres him. The very married Hemingway is taken with Martha--her beauty, her ambition, and her fearless spirit. And as Hemingway tells her, the most powerful love stories are always set against the fury of war. The risks are so much greater. They're made for each other. With their romance unfolding as they travel the globe, Martha establishes herself as one of the world's foremost war correspondents, and Hemingway begins the novel that will win him the Nobel Prize for Literature. Beautiful Exiles is a stirring story of lovers and rivals, of the breathless attraction to power and fame, and of one woman--ahead of her time--claiming her own identity from the wreckage of love.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26yntnqnkm14cz76cfm5md.jpg?v=2682340dad","LIGQ|EAc=Y5T}?jYt6t6+@RPoff5",2018,384,[506],{"id":507,"slug":508,"name":509},"01krg431yfpv0nep6vhfebx60c","meg-waite-clayton-ag0l","Meg Waite Clayton",[511,515,519,520],{"id":512,"name":513,"slug":514,"is_fiction":15},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":516,"name":517,"slug":518,"is_fiction":15},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},{"id":67,"name":521,"slug":522,"is_fiction":15},"Romance","romance",[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":525,"themes":527,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[526,70],"romantic",[],{"id":529,"slug":530,"title":531,"description":532,"primary_cover_url":533,"cover_blurhash":534,"first_publish_year":535,"community_rating_avg":536,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":537,"authors":538,"genres":543,"series":550,"enrichment":551},"01kx2k10vq5fwvxvtvstf98zmg","a-place-we-knew-well-vdeu","A place we knew well","In the midst of the Cuban Missle Crisis, Wes and Sarah Avery and their seventeen-year-old daughter, Charlotte, try to keep their lives as normal as possible, but a long-buried secret threatens their family's security.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2k10w0v0tvc1fcy33a64fs.jpg?v=930f8b1017","L8EU7G8uuM0~3;A]^5r?Bnw{$jxE",2015,"4.00",258,[539],{"id":540,"slug":541,"name":542},"01kx2k10vyetna29w5w79dw59p","susan-carol-mccarthy-tkca","Susan Carol McCarthy",[544,545,549],{"id":516,"name":517,"slug":518,"is_fiction":15},{"id":546,"name":547,"slug":548,"is_fiction":15},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":552,"themes":553,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[105,70],[554,555],"family-saga","dual-timeline",{"id":557,"slug":558,"title":559,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":560,"cover_blurhash":561,"first_publish_year":562,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":563,"authors":564,"genres":569,"series":576,"enrichment":577},"01kqvphv32hwk07hx8hekebrng","i-nasze-mlode-lata-rcna","I nasze młode lata","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqvphv54dmagpw37bjcme41d.jpg","L5TI,a%MWB~qxuIURjof9FD%ayt7",1987,326,[565],{"id":566,"slug":567,"name":568},"01kpk874xxy1cbbj40b8mqksrb","wieslaw-kielar-dv2o","Wiesław Kielar",[570,571,572],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},{"id":573,"name":574,"slug":575,"is_fiction":15},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",[],{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":578,"themes":579,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[70,136],[],{"key":581,"params":582,"works":583},"genre",{"genre":34},[584,611,644,666,689,711],{"id":585,"slug":586,"title":587,"description":588,"primary_cover_url":589,"cover_blurhash":590,"first_publish_year":591,"community_rating_avg":146,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":504,"authors":592,"genres":597,"series":606,"enrichment":607},"01kx2kejzw8emerhgyafym4fpz","sin-in-the-second-city-jqut","Sin in the Second City","Step into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history--and the catalyst for a culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched... [Sin in the Second City] describes a popular culture awash in wild tales of sexual abuse, crusading reformers claiming God on their side, and deep suspicion of the threat posed by \"foreigners\" to the nation's Christian values.\" --Janet Maslin, The New York Times \"Lavish in her details, nicely detached in her point of view, [and with] scrupulous concern for historical accuracy, Ms. Abbott has written an immensely readable book. Sin in the Second City offers much in the way of reflection for those interested in the unending puzzle that goes by the name of human nature.\" -- The Wall Street Journal \"Abbott's first book is meticulously researched and entertaining... a colorful history of old Chicago that reads like a novel.\" --The Atlanta Journal Constitution\"With gleaming prose and authoritative knowledge Abbott elucidates one of the most colorful periods in American history, and the result reads like the very best fiction. Sex, opulence, murder -- What's not to love?\" -- Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants\"A detailed and intimate portrait of the Ritz of brothels, the famed Everleigh Club of turn-of-the-century Chicago.

In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity.

It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin.
