NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Following a run of new year’s concerts at San Francisco’s legendary Fillmore, Patti Smith finds herself tramping the coast of Santa Cruz, about to embark on a year of solitary wandering. Unfettered by logic or time, she draws us into her private wonderland, in which she debates intellectual grifters and spars with the likes of a postmodern Cheshire Cat. Then, in February 2016, a surreal lunar year begins, bringing unexpected turns, heightened mischief, and inescapable sorrow. For Smith—inveterately curious, always exploring, always writing—this becomes a year of reckoning with the changes in life’s gyre: with loss, aging, and a dramatic shift in the political landscape of America.

Выдающийся английский путешественник П.Г.Фосетт совершил в начале нашего века восемь экспедиций в глухие труднодоступные районы центральной части Южной Америки. В результате этих экспедиций были нанесены на карту многие реки Боливии, Парагвая, Бразилии, уточнены границы между этими государствами, исследованы территории, долгое время остававшиеся "белыми пятнами" на картах мира.
Книга П.Г.Фосетта - это яркий, красочный рассказ о дикой природе южноамериканских тропиков, о населении этих мест, о нравах и порядках, которые господствовали в то время в странах Южной Америки.

Эссе и статьи сборника "Индийская жена" в увлекательной форме рассказывают о порядке выбора супруги, правилах поведения жены (индуски, мусульманки и джайнки), предписаниях эротологического трактата "Камасутра", а также о супружеских конфликтах и любовных треугольниках. Своими впечатлениями о супружеской жизни делятся и сами индийцы — драматург, ученый и дипломат.

Книги о подростках зачастую относят к детским, не особо серьезным и важным книгам. Меж тем, в подобной литературе обычно поднимаются серьезные, взрослые темы. И несерьезные на первый взгляд истории становятся самыми интересными, самыми любимые. А уж если добавить в подобные книги спорт, то чтение становится еще более увлекательным.
В эту подборку мы внесли четыре книги. И, что важно, у каждой есть продолжение, а значит, вы еще не скоро расстанетесь с любимыми персонажами.

Emily Dickinson was a keen observer of the natural world, but less well known is the fact that she was also an avid gardener—sending fresh bouquets to friends, including pressed flowers in her letters, and studying botany at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke. At her family home, she tended both a small glass conservatory and a flower garden. In Emily Dickinson’s Gardening Life, award-winning author Marta McDowell explores Dickinson’s deep passion for plants and how it inspired and informed her writing. Tracing a year in the garden, the book reveals details few know about Dickinson and adds to our collective understanding of who she was as a person. By weaving together Dickinson’s poems, excerpts from letters, contemporary and historical photography, and botanical art, McDowell offers an enchanting new perspective on one of America’s most celebrated but enigmatic literary figures.
