Der Leipziger Hauptbahnhof war in den 1970er Jahren ein uneingelöstes Versprechen auf Welt. Die Züge quietschten herzzerreißend, die Lautsprecheransagen verhallten im Nirwana der riesigen Bahnhofshalle. Es war ein einfacher, lauter, mechanischer Ort. Reisende und das Personal hatten sich in den unterschiedlichen Räumen des Ankommens und Abfahrens eingerichtet. In der Mitropa, wo das Geschirr selbst abgeräumt werden musste, versammelten sich sämtliche soziale Schichten – 24 Stunden lang. Die Zeit scheint auf den rund 80 Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien von Helga Paris nicht voranzuschreiten. Man sieht nur selten jemanden nach einem Zug hasten. Uhren gibt es nicht. Alle warten: die Klofrau auf das Schichtende, die Lotterieverkäuferin auf den nächsten Glückssucher, die Rentnerin auf ihr Bier. Helga Paris’ Serie ist eine meisterhafte Milieustudie mit unverwechselbaren Charakteren gelungen – die Randfiguren bestimmen die Szenerie des unendlichen Wartesaals. Helga Paris (*1938) ist eine der wichtigsten deutschen Fotografinnen. Sie wurde mit ihrem Band »Diva in Grau« berühmt, in dem sie den Verfall der Altstadt von Halle / Saale in den 1980er Jahren festhielt und damit das Ende der DDR vorwegnahm. In the 1970s, Leipzig central station was an unfulfilled promise to the world. The trains creaked and squealed piteously and the loudspeaker announcements went unheard in the nirvana of the huge station hall. It was a simple, loud, mechanical place. Travellers and staff had settled themselves into the different rooms for arrivals and departures. In the Mitropa, where the dish- es had to be cleared away by themselves, all the different social strata gathered together—for twenty-four hours. Time seems to stand still in Helga Paris’s eighty black-and-white photographs. Only rarely do you see anyone hurrying for a train. There are no clocks. Everyone is waiting: the toilet attendant for the end of her shift, the woman selling lottery tickets for the next person seeking to make their fortune, the pensioner for her beer. Helga Paris' series is a masterful study of a particular milieu with unmistakable characters—the marginal figures define the scenery of the endless waiting room. Helga Paris (b. 1938) is one of the most important photographers in Germany. She made a name for herself with her volume Diva in Grau, in which she recorded the decline of the historic town centre of Halle / Saale in the 1980s, thus anticipating the end of the GDR.

An oracle who can see the future teams up with the far-too-hot demon from her past to avert catastrophe, in this steamy paranormal romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Zomromcom. Gwen Wexloff might be able to see the future, but not when it matters. Her visions invariably involve piddling issues, which means—unlike most oracles—she’s spent her life predicting for everyday humans instead of international power brokers. After a clutch of brain-slurping zombies escapes from their walled-off compound, though, Gwen experiences the first genuinely world-altering vision of her life . . . and now she needs help. Unfortunately, that help comes from Hugh Blacke, the same starchy (but annoyingly cute) demon who watched her bomb her oracle verification test years ago. To Gwen's dismay, the two of them will need to work together to unravel the deadly conspiracy behind the zombie breach, despite their complicated past and the secrets they’re keeping. Even with her newfound power, she couldn't have foreseen how quickly they'd both want more than a simple partnership. But the clock is ticking—and with the fate of humanity at stake, Gwen and Hugh will have to decide how much they’re willing to risk for an unexpected, passionate love...and a future together that might prove very short indeed.

A brilliant, eye-opening espionage thriller by a former special forces officer 'now at the forefront of spy writing' 'The thinking person's John le Carré' Tribune 'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' Irish Independent 'More George Smiley than James Bond, Catesby will delight those readers looking for less blood and more intelligence in their spy thrillers' Publishers Weekly It is 1982 and the British prime minister and the Argentine president are both clinging to power.

John le Carré reminds us, often, and so does Edward Wilson' Independent

But then, mere hours after a Hail Mary embryo transfer to her gestational carrier, Nicole discovers Gabe's been sleeping with their dog walker, and her world turns upside down. Suddenly, a jobless, childless, and now-husbandless Nicole finds herself at the doorstep of somebody she tried to say goodbye to a long time ago. Logan Milgram: a former colleague with serious golden retriever energy who happens to be laugh-out-loud funny, a colossal nerd, and legitimately kind of hot.

She even begins to like what she sees. And then, like a cruel joke, she gets the news she's spent a lifetime waiting for: her surrogate is finally pregnant.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS’ CHOICE NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF FALL BY: The New York Times, Associated Press, Goodreads, NPR, Harper’s Bazaar, Los Angeles Times, and more A mesmerizing portrait of an aging man’s last pilgrimage, from the award-winning author of The Girls and The Guest. “Piercing and suspenseful.”—The Wall Street Journal “Bold . . . arresting . . . stylistically adventurous.”—The Boston Globe “Profoundly moving.”—The Guardian A private plane cuts through the winter night, somewhere over Greenland. David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting. A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable. This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades. His final destination is Zurich. David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend’s house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life. As David’s arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish.

Can she persuade him to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them - to turn back the clock and live their story a second time? And this time, live it differently. Once read, never forgotten, Under Story is a genre-defying exploration of the promise of this life, what might lie beyond it, and how far we would go for more time with the people we love.

In this paradigm-shifting book from acclaimed Harvard Medical School doctor and one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people on earth, Dr. David Sinclair reveals that everything we think we know about ageing is wrong, and shares the surprising, scientifically-proven methods that can help readers live younger, longer. For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. That's because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In Lifespan, Dr David A. Sinclair, one of the world's foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that. He has dedicated his life's work to chasing more than a longer lifespan - he wants to enable people to live longer, healthier, and disease-free well into our hundreds. In this book, he reveals a bold new theory of ageing, one that pinpoints a root cause of ageing that lies in an ancient genetic survival circuit. This genetic trick - a circuit designed to halt reproduction in order to repair damage to the genome - has enabled earth's early microcosms to survive and evolve into more advanced organisms. But this same survival circuit is the reason we age: as genetic damage accumulates over our lifespans from UV rays, environmental toxins, and unhealthy diets, our genome is overwhelmed, causing gray hair, wrinkles, achy joints, heart issues, dementia, and, ultimately, death. But genes aren't our destiny; we have more control over them than we've been taught to believe. We can't change our DNA, but we can harness the power of the epigenome to realise the true potential of our genes. Drawing on his cutting-edge findings at the forefront of medical research, Dr Sinclair will provide a scientifically proven roadmap to reverse the genetic clock by activating our vitality genes, so we can live younger for longer. Readers will discover how a few simple lifestyle changes - like intermittent fasting, avoiding too much animal protein, limiting sugar, avoiding x-rays, exercising with the right intensity, and even trying cold therapy - can activate our vitality genes. Dr Sinclair ends the book with a look to the near future, exploring what the world might look like - and what will need to change - when we are all living well to 120 or more. Dr Sinclair takes what we have long accepted as the limits of human potential and mortality and turns them into choices.

At ten years old, the Heir of Jasad flees a massacre that takes her entire family. At fifteen, she buries her first body. At twenty, the clock is ticking on Sylvia's third attempt at home. Nizahl's armies have laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four remaining kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia's magic is as good at playing dead as she is. When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of Jasadis to Sylvia's village, the quiet life she's crafted unravels. Calculating and cold, Arin's tactical brilliance is surpassed only by his hatred for magic.

In exchange, Arin will use her as bait to draw out the Jasadis he's hunting.

What she finds shocks her. The missing daughter—of a prominent senator—was hiding secrets no one knew. When all evidence points to a runaway, Keri is ordered off the case.
