Описание: A once-in-a-generation series, Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet is a tour-de-force about love, time, art, politics, and how we live now. Winter? Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes.
The shortest days, the longest nights. The trees are bare and shivering. The summer's leaves? Dead litter.
The world shrinks; the sap sinks. But winter makes things visible. And if there's ice, there'll be fire.

In this second novel in her acclaimed Seasonal cycle, the follow-up to her sensational Autumn, Smith casts a merry eye over a bleak post-truth era with a story rooted in history, memory and warmth, its taproot deep in the evergreens: art, love, laughter. It's the season that teaches us survival.
Here comes Winter. Discover all four instalments: Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. Ali Smith's new novel, Companion piece, is available to pre-order now.

Описание: In these memoirs, Braz Cubas, a wealthy nineteenth-century Brazilian, examines (from beyond the grave) his rather undistinguished life in 160 short chapters that are filled with philosophical digressions and exuberant insights. A clear forerunner of Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Luis Borges, "Epitaph for a Small Winner," first published in 1880, is one of the wittiest self-portraits in literary history as well as “one of the masterpieces of Brazilian literature” (Salman Rushdie).

"What Do I Do With My Hugs?" is an interactive personal space book, written by Founder of 'give space, ' Carol Winner, and illustrated by an award-winning illustrator, Lorna Murphy.
Summary: When Lily does not get her warm hug from her Mimi, she is sad and confused. Mimi reveals the reason why, and they have fun learning to show their love in new ways.
A heartfelt story about communicating personal space needs for family members to heal...or just to be.
It is appropriate for homes, schools, libraries, gift shops, cancer centers, etc., any organization that can reach families to support the need to start the conversation with children about giving space. It promotes kindness, empathy, and compassion.
How can we help children understand that if we set boundaries, such as not getting too close to others, asking to hug, being careful about how close they sit to the other guy - that it is all for their good and the good of others?
Teaching children about personal space boundaries is helping them navigate their own space in relation to others - essential for healthy relationships and living. Space invasion is unwelcomed and reflects negatively on the potential or existing relationship, as there is either a real or perceived disrespect for the breathing room needed to be comfortable.
Kids love books Being able to share a story, such as this, whether they are reading it or being read to, starts that discussion about personal space boundaries.
Children can quickly understand the meaning of the word "healing." As the Author, Carol's 3-year-old granddaughter said while reading, "Mimi has a blister " Children too can identify when someone might be upset with them, and it can be fearful. Lily doesn't understand why her Mimi might be upset with her, when in the end, Mimi is just struggling herself with how to communicate her need for space. Their love prevails and they work through how to show their love in alternative ways. It is a beautiful demonstration of their love and respect for each other.
"What Do I Do With My Hugs?" is an exceptional story, written, edited, illustrated, and designed by women committed to enhancing our children's lives through education and play. It is designed to help them experience the best of life, a healthy and happy life, with empathy and compassion for those with whom they share space.
