Monica Tsai spends most days on her computer, journaling the details of her ordinary life and coding for a program that seeks to connect strangers online.

Alice Chen doesn’t believe in true love, but she does believe in cold, hard cash. Buckling under the weight of student debt and her mother’s medical bills, Alice will do anything to make bank–even star on Dawn Tay’s Inferno, the hot new reality TV show designed to push couples to their breaking point.

In his haunting and fearless debut, Ocean Vuong walks a tightrope of historic and personal violences, creating an interrogation of the American body as a borderless space of both failure and triumph. At once vulnerable and redemptive, dreamlike and visceral, compassionate and unforgiving, these poems seek a myriad existence without forgetting the prerequisite of self-preservation in a world bent on extinguishing its othered voices. Vuong's poems show, through breath, cadence, and unrepentant enthrallment, that a gentle palm on a chest can calm the most necessary of hungers.

गागर में सागर की तरह इस पुस्तक में हिन्दी के कालजयी कवियों की विशाल काव्य-रचना में से श्रेष्ठतम और प्रतिनिधि काव्य का संकलन विस्तृत विवेचन के साथ प्रस्तुत है। रैदास (1410-1500) भक्ति आंदोलन के बड़े और महत्त्वपूर्ण संत कवि हैं। उनके लेखन की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता अपनी जातीय अस्मिता है। मध्यकाल के सीमित समझे जाने वाले सामाजिक परिवेश में अपनी हैसियत और जाति के प्रति ऐसा अकुंठ स्वाभिमान समूचे भक्ति साहित्य में उन्हें विशिष्ट बनाता है। अपनी निर्गुण भक्ति में रैदास जीव और ब्रह्म को एक मानते हैं। मनुष्य को ईश्वर भक्ति और समता के मार्ग से भटकाने वाली माया की निन्दा उनके यहाँ भी बार-बार मिलती है।

Hagakure, Le Livre du Samurai, est un recueil de pensées et de préceptes sur le code de conduite des samurais, le bushido, rédigé par Yamamoto Tsunetomo au début du 18e siècle. Cet ouvrage est bien plus qu'un simple manuel de morale; il représente un témoignage intime sur les valeurs et les pratiques qui régissaient la vie des guerries japonais de l'époque féodale. À travers des réflexions profondes sur la loyauté, la mort, la discipline et l'honneur, Hagakure cherche à définir une manière d'être qui transcende le simple fait de combattre, pour devenir une philosophie de vie.
