As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",2016,368,[304],{"id":305,"slug":306,"name":307},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[309,310,311,312],{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":17},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":17},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":17},{"id":313,"name":314,"slug":315,"is_fiction":17},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":129,"complexity":7,"audience":132,"mood":318,"themes":320,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,319],"reflective",[],{"id":322,"slug":323,"title":324,"description":325,"primary_cover_url":326,"cover_blurhash":327,"first_publish_year":328,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":329,"authors":330,"genres":335,"series":342,"enrichment":343},"01kx6p6zeh7ck2h945zcp74vas","diplomacy-ejuz","Diplomacy","In Diplomacy, Henry Kissinger traces the practice of international relations from the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 through the end of the Cold War, with particular focus on the twentieth century. Drawing on his own experience as U.S. National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford, Kissinger examines the careers of statesmen including Richelieu, Metternich, Bismarck, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Roosevelt, contrasting the European balance-of-power tradition and raison d'etat with the American strain of idealism rooted in self-determination and collective security.\n\nThe book covers the run-up to both World Wars, the Paris Peace Conference, the interwar years, and the Cold War standoffs between the United States and the Soviet Union, including his own role in the opening to China and detente with Moscow. It closes with an argument for how the United States should conduct foreign policy in a post-Cold War, multipolar world, weighing the tension between Wilsonian idealism and Realpolitik that Kissinger sees as the defining thread of American diplomatic history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p6zexnw7xm5kbgcpfmc6s.jpg?v=e81132fc79","LhN^6roftRs:~qafozj[4nayj@ay",1995,912,[331],{"id":332,"slug":333,"name":334},"01kk2sn5t5me7aqpwtv1p5yy8e","henry-kissinger-8mxr","Henry Kissinger",[336,337,338],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":17},{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":17},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":17},91,"Military History","military-history",[],{"pace":239,"complexity":7,"audience":132,"mood":344,"themes":345,"setting_period":7,"summary":346,"content_warnings":7},[135,176,319,134],[],"A sweeping history of international diplomacy from the Peace of Westphalia to the end of the Cold War, written by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and drawing on his own experience shaping American foreign policy.",{"id":348,"slug":349,"title":350,"description":351,"primary_cover_url":352,"cover_blurhash":353,"first_publish_year":354,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":355,"authors":356,"genres":361,"series":376,"enrichment":377},"01kjv3zvvkpz87h738zymyrs9j","the-works-of-washington-irving-glum","The works of Washington Irving","Explore the rich history and diverse landscapes of North America through the keen observations of Washington Irving.

On the day of the vote in Parliament, while the session was being filmed by TV cameras, a band of right-wing soldiers burst in with automatic weapons, ordering everyone to get down. Only three men defied the order. For thirty-five minutes, as the cameras rolled, they stayed in their seats.Critically adored novelist Javier Cercas originally set out to write a novel about this pivotal moment, but determined it had already gained an air of myth, or, through the annual broadcast of video clips, had at least acquired the fictional taint of reality television. Cercas turned to nonfiction, and his vivid descriptions of the archival footage frame a narrative that traverses the line between history and art, creating a daring new account of this watershed moment in modern Spanish history.The Anatomy of a Moment caused a sensation upon its publication in Spain, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. The story will be new to many American readers, but the book stands resolutely on its own as a compelling literary inquest of national myth, personal memory, political spectacle, and reality itself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25pkb76xrh29vfj8vdmy9k.jpg?v=d4bc1e6284","L5C=O_TFt5M~0$w{xZIq_r?Dxsf7",2011,"4.00",1,410,[438],{"id":439,"slug":440,"name":441},"01kpp8fzqbh54d1pzthf7rs9ky","javier-cercas-ivrl","Javier Cercas",[443,444,445],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":17},{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":129,"complexity":7,"audience":132,"mood":448,"themes":449,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,176],[],[451,579,740],{"key":452,"params":453,"works":454},"genre_year",{"genre":37,"year":9},[455,475,487,507,529,557],{"id":456,"slug":457,"title":458,"description":459,"primary_cover_url":460,"cover_blurhash":461,"first_publish_year":462,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":463,"authors":464,"genres":469,"series":471,"enrichment":472},"01kx6nxn400cvb6s52bdb0wfvf","prisoners-of-geography-oekl","Prisoners of Geography","All leaders are constrained by geography.

To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port - hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are - and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states.

Awarded a coveted month-long guest editorship at a New York fashion magazine in the summer of 1953, she moves through a world of luncheons, parties, and photo shoots that leaves her feeling numb rather than dazzled. Beneath the polished surface, she finds herself unable to reconcile the future she is expected to want — marriage, motherhood, quiet domesticity — with the writer and free self she longs to become.\n\nWhen Esther returns home to the Boston suburbs, the disconnection deepens into a full mental collapse. Sylvia Plath traces her descent with unnerving clarity, following Esther through insomnia, paralysis, and hospitalization, and into a course of psychiatric treatment that is by turns frightening and, eventually, steadying. The bell jar of the title becomes Plath's enduring image for depression: a transparent enclosure that seals a person off from the air everyone else breathes.\n\nPublished in 1963 shortly before Plath's death, and drawing closely on her own experiences, The Bell Jar is a landmark of twentieth-century literature. Its sharp, wry, unsparing voice made it a touchstone for readers grappling with mental illness and with the narrow expectations placed on women in mid-century America — a portrait that remains startlingly immediate.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjqxshyz61m2czb9z2ge03rz.jpg","LGF;[@RNEnIo}?RjIqbc4pK6M_%2",1963,"3.69",326,[755],{"id":756,"slug":757,"name":758},"01kjqxshz7fy35z2w9j67t1g67","sylvia-plath-p0us","Sylvia Plath",[760,761,762,766,767,768,772],{"id":643,"name":644,"slug":645,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":763,"name":764,"slug":765,"is_fiction":18},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":94,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":225,"name":226,"slug":227,"is_fiction":18},{"id":769,"name":770,"slug":771,"is_fiction":17},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":669,"name":670,"slug":671,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":129,"complexity":7,"audience":132,"mood":775,"themes":776,"setting_period":7,"summary":777,"content_warnings":7},[136,650],[],"A talented, ambitious young woman in 1950s New England spirals into a mental breakdown while struggling with the expectations of her generation.

Kafka Tamura, a fiercely self-reliant fifteen-year-old, runs away from his father's house in Tokyo to escape a grim prophecy and to search for the mother and sister who abandoned him years ago. His flight carries him to a quiet private library in the seaside city of Takamatsu, where he takes shelter among the stacks and the people who tend them.\n\nElsewhere, Satoru Nakata, an aging man who lost his memory and his ability to read after a strange childhood incident, moves through the same world on a quieter frequency. Nakata cannot manage much of ordinary life, but he can talk to cats, and a simple errand to find a lost pet pulls him onto a road he does not fully understand.\n\nAs their paths run in parallel, Murakami threads together talking animals, spirits that slip loose from the living, fish that fall from the sky, and a song that seems to hold memory itself. It is a novel about fate and free will, about grief and desire, and about the strange interior places we travel through to become ourselves. Dreamlike and exact at once, it rewards readers willing to sit inside mystery rather than demand that every thread be tied.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5qvvrrkfghx8x34z0h319.jpg","LB9rw%B71b|xxuj[o2SL3V;%[X6z",2006,4,512,[789],{"id":790,"slug":791,"name":792},"01kjq7vve6v87xc574qr4c7a4y","untitled-pcch","村上春樹",[794,795,796,800,803,806],{"id":234,"name":235,"slug":236,"is_fiction":18},{"id":94,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":797,"name":798,"slug":799,"is_fiction":18},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",{"id":115,"name":801,"slug":802,"is_fiction":18},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":213,"name":804,"slug":805,"is_fiction":18},"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[808],{"id":809,"slug":810,"name":811,"position":812,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kqnc3abb2pq8da3xnx6vas8z","null-ecm2",",null,","0.00",{"pace":129,"complexity":7,"audience":132,"mood":814,"themes":817,"setting_period":7,"summary":820,"content_warnings":7},[815,650,816],"dreamy","mysterious",[818,819],"dual-timeline","portal-fantasy","Two seemingly unrelated stories converge in a small Japanese town: fifteen-year-old Kafka Tamura, fleeing his father and an Oedipal prophecy, and Satoru Nakata, an elderly man with the uncanny ability to talk to cats.

Best of all, Granny is the teller of fairy tales set in the Land of Almost-Awake and the kingdom of Miamas, stories that have shielded Elsa from a lonely world.\n\nWhen Granny dies of cancer, she leaves Elsa one last, greatest adventure: a treasure hunt of letters, each an apology to someone Granny wronged, to be delivered by Elsa herself. As Elsa carries the letters to the eccentric neighbors in her apartment building — a wurse, a monster, a woman with a fear of everything — she discovers that Granny's fantastical tales were built from the very real, often painful lives of the people all around her, and that the fairy tales were true in ways she never understood.\n\nWarm, funny, and quietly devastating, Fredrik Backman's second novel (first published in Swedish in 2013) is a story about grief, imagination, and the way stories help us survive one another.

In Tokyo, 1984, a woman named Aomame climbs down an emergency stairway off a gridlocked expressway and, without quite realizing it, steps out of the world she knew and into one subtly, dangerously wrong. She comes to call it 1Q84, the year with a question mark, and its surest sign is that two moons now hang in the night sky.\n\nAomame is a fitness instructor with a lethal secret vocation. Tengo is a gentle math teacher and unpublished novelist who agrees to ghost-rewrite a strange, luminous manuscript by a mysterious teenage girl, a decision that draws the attention of a powerful religious cult and the eerie beings it calls the Little People. Aomame and Tengo have not seen each other since they were ten years old, when a single held hand sealed a bond neither has ever spoken of. Across hundreds of pages and a shifting reality, the two move slowly, achingly toward each other.\n\nExpansive, hypnotic, and shadowed by menace, 1Q84 braids assassination and tenderness, cults and fairy tales, into one of Murakami's most ambitious novels, a book about fate, storytelling, and the leap of faith it takes to find one person in a world where the rules have quietly changed.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmrwcnwzexb29vmd31kr3p5c.jpg","LIH_iAt500o|R*aLR.Rj00kW~Wi_",2009,795,[859],{"id":790,"slug":791,"name":792},[861,864,865,866,867,868,869,870],{"id":121,"name":862,"slug":863,"is_fiction":18},"Thriller","thriller",{"id":94,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":726,"name":727,"slug":728,"is_fiction":18},{"id":797,"name":798,"slug":799,"is_fiction":18},{"id":115,"name":801,"slug":802,"is_fiction":18},{"id":213,"name":804,"slug":805,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":871,"name":872,"slug":873,"is_fiction":18},202,"Alternate History","alternate-history",[],{"pace":239,"complexity":7,"audience":132,"mood":876,"themes":877,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[816,738],[],{"id":879,"slug":880,"title":881,"description":882,"primary_cover_url":883,"cover_blurhash":884,"first_publish_year":536,"community_rating_avg":734,"community_rating_count":213,"page_count":494,"authors":885,"genres":890,"series":899,"enrichment":900},"01ktt0pb7a842eanyp2g2gvkba","need-the-lwzh","Need, The","Molly, a paleobotanist, is struggling with anxiety and exhaustion while juggling her children and a demanding job.
