Uprising tide: the coming inflation-driven unrest

For all of the West's failings - terrible food, cold weather, and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few - it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.
 
Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.

After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West, written and read by Konstantin Kisin (Audiobook extract)

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde (15) : Mince, une injonction !
C’est comme un murmure au fond du cerveau. Des pensées parasites permanentes. Au sujet du ventre (est-ce qu’on va voir mon bourrelet avec ce t-shirt ?), des fesses (pourquoi j’ai repris du gratin dauphinois ?) ou des cuisses (ce petit paréo sera parfait pour cacher ma culotte de cheval). En effet, ça ne vole pas très haut, et on est au courant qu’il y a mieux à faire que de surveiller ses kilos. Mais le fait est que ça nous pourrit la vie, surtout si on est une femme. Les psychologues appellent ça l’anxiété corporelle : une forme de haine de soi chevillée à la cellulite et qui condamne à manger des endives. 
D’où vient cette tyrannie de la minceur ?  Pourquoi intériorise-t-on si docilement la règle sociale qui fait de la minceur une condition sine qua non de la beauté ? Alors qu’elle rend tout le monde malheureux, et provoque de graves troubles du comportement alimentaire chez 5% des adolescentes ? Et surtout, comment s’en libérer ? 

Pour ce dernier épisode avant la plage , Delphine Saltel sonde les méandres de notre rapport au corps et l’obsession contemporaine pour la taille 38. Désespérée de voir sa fille stresser sur son poids à même pas 12 ans et demi, elle part à Poitiers consulter deux chercheurs en psychologie sociale qui étudient les mécanismes de la comparaison sociale, l’exposition passive aux normes de minceur et leur impact sur la psyché féminine.  Elle croise le récit d’Eloïse, une jeune femme fascinée par l’élection de Miss France et touchée par l’anorexie, avec celui de la réalisatrice féministe Ovidie. Une plongée dans le bain culturel qui abreuve nos posts Instagram et nos imaginaires conditionnés. Car il est urgent de dégraisser nos méconnaissances, et de faire fondre les injonctions au summer body

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde
Comment s’habiller, échanger, voyager, s’aimer dans les années 20 ? Pour se bricoler une morale minimale en des temps de crises sociale, écologique et sanitaire, Delphine Saltel (Que sont-ils devenus ?, Y'a deux écoles) explore chaque mois nos incohérences et les solutions possibles. Mêlant questionnement personnel, tribulations domestiques, reportages et entretiens avec des chercheurs et des activistes, ce nouveau podcast veut alerter, éveiller et rassurer sur un autre monde possible.

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde

Mince, une injonction !

ON EVERY TIDE is a wide-ranging and challenging reassessment of the Irish diaspora.  Drawing on the latest ground-breaking research, and his own career-long  engagement with the complexities of Irish identity, Sean Connolly reveals the forces that compelled millions of Irish men and women to abandon their homeland, and explores their new lives in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.

What emerges is an Irish story, but also a chapter in world history.  Irish emigrants fled a society blighted by poverty and lack of opportunity.  But they also became part of a massive population movement, driven by the requirements of an ever more interconnected  world economy, that transported the adventurous and the desperate to new parts of the globe.  What distinguishes the Irish from tens of millions of other European immigrants is the position they established in their new homes.  Initially treated as a despised and exploited underclass, they created a commanding position, in politics, in the labour movement, and, by the twentieth century, as cultural icons.

From his starting point in the grim realities of Famine and social crisis, Sean Connolly takes the reader forward into the twentieth century, when Ireland itself has become a receiver rather than an exporter of emigrants, and when a reimagined Irishness has become a commodity to be marketed to a global audience.  On Every Tide plays directly into wider, contemporary debates about migration, as well as offering a unique and distinctive view of two hundred years of Irish history.

On Every Tide by Sean Connolly, read by Patrick Moy (Audiobook extract)

In a city filled with dangerous yet heavily regulated alchemical magic, a man from the slums discovers he may be its only hope to survive certain destruction in this wickedly entertaining fantasy. 

Welcome to Bezim, where sword-slinging bravi race through the night and rich and idle alchemists make magic out of mixing and measuring the four planes of reality.

Siyon Velo, Dockside brat turned petty alchemist, scrapes a living hopping between the planes to harvest ingredients for the city’s alchemists. But when Siyon accidentally commits an act of impossible magic, he’s catapulted into the limelight—which is a bad place to be when the planes start lurching out of alignment, threatening to send Bezim into the sea.

It will take a miracle to save the city. Good thing Siyon has pulled off the impossible before. Now he just has to master it.

A dazzling fantasy bursting with wild magic, chaotic sword-fighting street gangs, brazen flirting, malevolent harpies, and one defiant alchemist.

"From the razor-sharp social climbing to the glimmering alchemist's library to the hidden realms beneath it all, I loved getting lost in this dazzling debut." —Shannon Chakraborty

Playing his Trump card: Bolsonaro and the election

From the award-winning author of Curtain Call, Freya and Our Friends in Berlin comes a sweeping story of art and love through the lens of a single painting

A celebrated artist of the Georgian era paints his two young daughters at the family home in Bath. The portrait, known as "Molly & the Captain", becomes instantly famous, its fate destined to echo down the centuries, touching many lives.

In the summer of 1889 a young man sits painting a line of elms in Kensington Gardens. One day he glimpses a mother at play with her two daughters and decides to include them in his picture. From that moment he is haunted by dreams that seem to foreshadow his doom.

A century later, in Kentish Town, a painter and her grown-up daughters receive news of an ancestor linking them to the long-vanished double portrait of "Molly & the Captain". Meanwhile friendship with a young musician stirs unexpected passions and threatens to tear the family apart.   

Molly & the Captain is a story about time and art and love. Through the prism of a single painting it examines the mysteries of creativity, and the ambiguous nature of success. What weighs more, loyalty to one's talent or loyalty to one's blood? Does self-sacrifice ennoble the soul or degrade it? And what does it mean to speak of the past when its hold on the present is inescapable?

Through Anthony Quinn's signature gifts - period subtlety, intricate characterisation and storytelling verve this triptych novel melds three families and three centuries into a single vision of human frailty and longing.

They called the fight “Bad Blood.” It was a marketing angle that wrote itself. In 2002, Oscar De La Hoya and Fernando Vargas met in a clash of Mexican-American U.S. Olympians from southern California, bringing the two biggest draws at 154 pounds together for a monster pay-per-view event that was powered by a bitter grudge.

In a special edition of the HBO Boxing Podcast, Eric Raskin speaks to De La Hoya, Vargas, and numerous insiders who were at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas that night and lets them tell the story of a modern classic, a showdown in which scores were settled and blood was spilled.

Blood Sport: The Story Of Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas

Den tragiska branden på Yasmins arbetsplats ledde till att Mert och Yasmins förhållande lappades ihop igen. Yasmin är i sorg och bor hos sin mamma medan Mert bor i Yasmins lägenhet. Han har då fritt spelrum att göra vad han vill och tillbringar sin tid med att ringa escorter och slumpmässigt utvalda tjejer. 

Det Mert inte vet är att både polisen och Yasmin har uppsikt över Merts samtal. Polisen avlyssnar honom, medan Yasmin kollar hans samtalslistor. 

Det här slutar inte gott och leder till ytterligare en brand.
