Newly collected, revised, and expanded nonfiction from the first two decades of the twenty-first century&mdash;including many texts never previously in print&mdash;by the Booker Prize&ndash;winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie is celebrated as a storyteller of the highest order, illuminating truths about our society and culture through his gorgeous, often searing prose. Now, in his latest collection of nonfiction, he brings together insightful and inspiring essays, criticism, and speeches that focus on his relationship with the written word and solidify his place as one of the most original thinkers of our time. Gathering pieces written between 2003 and 2020, Languages of Truth chronicles Rushdie&rsquo;s intellectual engagement with a period of momentous cultural shifts. Immersing the reader in a wide variety of subjects, he delves into the nature of storytelling as a human need, and what emerges is, in myriad ways, a love letter to literature itself. Rushdie explores what the work of authors from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Samuel Beckett, Eudora Welty, and Toni Morrison mean to him, whether on the page or in person. He delves deep into the nature of &ldquo;truth,&rdquo; revels in the vibrant malleability of language and the creative lines that can join art and life, and looks anew at migration, multiculturalism, and censorship. Enlivened on every page by Rushdie&rsquo;s signature wit and dazzling voice, Languages of Truth offers the author&rsquo;s most piercingly analytical views yet on the evolution of literature and culture even as he takes us on an exhilarating tour of his own exuberant and fearless imagination.

Languages of Truth by Salman Rushdie, read by Raj Ghatak, Salman Rushdie

In this lush, magical, queer, and feminist take on Hamlet in modern-day New York City, a neuro-atypical philosopher, along with his best friend Horatio and artist ex-fianc&eacute; Lia, are caught up in the otherworldly events surrounding the death of his father. Meet Ben Dane: brilliant, devastating, devoted, honest to a fault (truly, a fault). His Broadway theater baron father is dead--but by purpose or accident? The question rips him apart. Unable to face alone his mother's ghastly remarriage to his uncle, Ben turns to his dearest friend, Horatio Patel, whom he hasn't seen since their relationship changed forever from platonic to something...other. Loyal to a fault (truly, a fault), Horatio is on the first flight to NYC when he finds himself next to a sly tailor who portends inevitable disaster. And who seems ominously like an architect of mayhem himself. Meanwhile, Ben's ex-fianc&eacute; Lia, sundered her from her loved ones thanks to her addiction recovery and torn from her art, has been drawn into the fold of three florists from New Orleans--seemingly ageless sisters who teach her the language of flowers, and whose magical bouquets hold both curses and cures. For a price. On one explosive night these kinetic forces will collide, and the only possible outcome is death. But in the masterful hands of Lyndsay Faye, the story we all know has abundant surprises in store. Impish, captivating, and achingly romantic, this is Hamlet as you've never seen it before.

The King of Infinite Space by Lyndsay Faye, read by Michael Crouch, Raj Ghatak, Imani Jade Powers

Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice, sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung felt that self-understanding would lead to a full and productive life. Thus, the reader will gain new insights into himself from this thoughtful volume, which also illustrates symbols throughout history. Completed just before his death by Jung and his associates, it is clearly addressed to the general reader. Praise for Man and His Symbols &ldquo;This book, which was the last piece of work undertaken by Jung before his death in 1961, provides a unique opportunity to assess his contribution to the life and thought of our time, for it was also his firsat attempt to present his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public. . . . What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society, by insisting that imaginative life must be taken seriously in its own right, as the most distinctive characteristic of human beings.&rdquo;&mdash;Guardian &ldquo;Straighforward to read and rich in suggestion.&rdquo;&mdash;John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate &ldquo;This book will be a resounding success for those who read it.&rdquo;&mdash;Galveston News-Tribune &ldquo;A magnificent achievement.&rdquo;&mdash;Main Currents &ldquo;Factual and revealing.&rdquo;&mdash;Atlanta Times Available for purchase at: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V3E2MC?tag=randohouseinc7986-20">Amazon</a><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9780307800558">Barnes & Noble</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-8373827-10747236?SID=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780307800558&url=http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9780307800558">Books A Million</a><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2186/9780440351832?prhc=PRHEFFDF5A7F1">Bookshop.org</a><a href="http://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/book/9780440351832?utm_source=prh&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_term=301&utm_content=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780440351832&utm_campaign=9780440351832">Hudson Booksellers</a><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780440351832?aff=penguinrandom">IndieBound</a><a href="http://www.powells.com/book/-9780440351832?utm_source=randomhouse&utm_campaign=randomhouse&utm_content=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780440351832">Powell's</a><a href="http://goto.target.com/c/128773/81938/2092?subId1=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780440351832&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fs%3FsearchTerm%3D9780440351832">Target</a><a href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/128773/565706/9383?subId1=PRHEFFDF5A7F1&veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fsearch%2F%3Fquery%3D9780440351832">Walmart</a><a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/id493846592?at=11l3IH&ct=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780307800558">Apple Books</a><a href="https://google.prf.hn/click/camref:1011ld4r/pubref:PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780593510858/destination:https://play.google.com/store/search?q=9780593510858&c=books">Google Play Store - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/link?id=VD9*lkiWNd8&offerid=258185.12829781935712206&type=2&u1=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780593510858}&murl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobo.com%2Fsearch%3FQuery%3D9780593510858">Kobo - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093MQS2XK?tag=randohouseinc7986-20">Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-8373827-11099382?SID=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780593510858&url=http://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/9780593510858">audiobooks.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="https://audiobookstore.com/isbn/9780593510858?ref=PRHEFFDF5A7F1">audiobookstore.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780593510858?prhc=PRHEFFDF5A7F1">Libro.fm - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a>
