L’area appalachiana della Carolina del Nord ospita persone di ogni tipo, ma il mondo in cui vive il diciottenne Jacob McNeely è il più crudele di tutti. Suo padre gestisce un giro di metanfetamine organizzato in modo metodico, con le autorità locali che chiudono un occhio sui suoi traffici. Dopo avere abbandonato la scuola ed essersi isolato dai suoi coetanei, Jacob lavora da anni per questo padre, con la promessa che prima o poi arriverà la sua paga. L’unica gioia che trova è il ricongiungimento con Maggie, il suo primo amore, una ragazza chiaramente destinata a cose più grandi e migliori della loro cittadina di campagna. Jacob si è sempre rassegnato a giocare le carte che gli sono state assegnate, ma quando un errore fatale cambia tutto, si trova di fronte a una scelta: restare e placare il padre, o lasciare le montagne con la ragazza che ama. In un luogo in cui il sangue è più denso dell’acqua e la speranza passa in secondo piano rispetto al destino, Jacob si chiede se può trovare la forza di superare l’unica vita che ha conosciuto. Da questo romanzo è tratto il film \"Where All Light Tends to Go\" del regista Ben Young, con Hopper Penn nei panni di Jacob e Billy Bob Thornton e Robin Wright in quelli dei suoi genitori.

Toya Gardner, una giovane artista nera di Atlanta, torna nella casa di famiglia tra le montagne della Carolina del Nord per ripercorrere la storia dei suoi antenati e completare la sua tesi di laurea. Quando si imbatte in un monumento confederato ancora presente nel cuore della cittadina, in lei scatta qualcosa. Nel frattempo, la polizia locale trova un uomo che dorme nel retro di una station wagon e una perquisizione del veicolo rivela che si tratta di un membro del Ku Klux Klan, e la scoperta di un taccuino pieno di nomi di autorità del posto minaccia di mettere a ferro e fuoco le montagne. Dopo che due crimini orribili hanno spaccato a metà la contea, lo sceriffo Coggins e l’intera comunità si ritrovano a lottare con segreti profondi e inconfessabili che si tramandano da generazioni. \"Quelli che pensavamo di conoscere\" è un improcrastinabile svelamento del ventre oscuro di una nazione. Riccamente orchestrato e coraggiosamente onesto, il romanzo si chiede cosa succede quando quelli che pensavi di conoscere si rivelano dei mostri. Cosa fai quando tutto ciò in cui hai sempre creduto si sgretola?

Acclaimed author David Joy returns with a fierce and tender tale of a father, an addict, a lawman and the explosive events that come to unite them. \n\nWhen his addict son gets in deep with his dealer, it takes everything Raymond Mathis has to bail him out of trouble one last time. Frustrated by the slow pace and limitations of the law, Raymond decides to take matters into his own hands. \n\nAfter a workplace accident left him out of a job and in pain, Denny Rattler has spent years chasing his next high. He supports his habit through careful theft, following strict rules that keep him under the radar and out of jail. But when faced with opportunities too easy to resist, Denny makes two choices that change everything. \n\nFor months, the DEA has been chasing the drug supply in the mountains to no avail, when a lead – just one word – sets one agent on a path to crack the case open... but he'll need help from the most unexpected quarter. \n\nAs chance brings together these men from different sides of a relentless epidemic, each may come to find that his opportunity for redemption lies with the others.

Lancashire and Yorkshire led Britain and the world into the industrial revolution, yet were long cut off by the Pennine chain. The railway age finally brought the two counties together and ensured the continued growth of Manchester as Britain's second city. It was linked to Leeds and Sheffield by a series of heroic railway tunnels, three of which were successively the longest in the world when completed in the 1840s. Often taken for granted, this book portrays them as extraordinary achievements against seemingly insuperable odds that deserve the fullest recognition.\nThese pages look not just at the tunnels and the men who created them but also at how lines built through them connected key stations either side of the Pennines. They step back further in history to show how canals paved the way for the railways and also look forward to the future with its brave talk of HS3 achieving journey times that seem unimaginable.\nThere is a remarkable collection of illustrations ranging from period lithographs through to present-day photographs.\nThe many varied themes in this book include:\n* The vision of George Stephenson - 'Father of Railways'\n* Navvies left to fend for themselves in huts thrown together with loose stones and thatch\n* Drunken riots following pay day\n* Death and chronic illness at Woodhead tunnel on top of the Pennines\n* Enginemen coming close to suffocation when working heavy freights through the tunnels\n* Early travellers who preferred to get off and walk rather than travel through a tunnel behind a 'steam monster'\n* Branwell Bronte, errant brother of the literary sisters, dismissed for constant carelessness at a Calder Valley station\n* The magnificent Huddersfield station - a stately home with trains\n* The Midland Railway with almost eight miles of tunnel between Sheffield and Manchester\n* Inferno in a tunnel when a derailed tanker train caught fire and temperatures reached 1,500 degrees C.\n* The superb new Woodhead tunnel with its electric services that closed to passengers after only 16 years

\"Queste montagne bruciano\" è un romanzo al contempo esilarante e feroce, disperante e vitale, radicato in una terra bellissima e devastata dagli incendi, reali quanto metaforici. Qui vivono tre uomini a cui il destino chiede di unire le forze: Raymond Mathis, un padre solo, impotente, frustrato dalle lungaggini burocratiche e dalle limitazioni della legge; il giovane Denny Rattler, segnato da un incidente sul lavoro e sempre a caccia di una dose; Ron Holland, l'agente della Dea che non sa rinunciare a un caso. Da mesi l'Agenzia Federale per cui lavora sta cercando di ricostruire la fitta trama del traffico di stupefacenti che interessa l'ampio territorio occidentale della Carolina del Nord, al confine con il Tennessee, tra i maestosi boschi e le montagne che attraversano le aree tribali degli indiani Cherokee. Una riserva non certo preziosa, non certo immacolata. L'agente Holland sa che serve solo trovare la traccia giusta. E la traccia arriva quando al giovane Denny, ladruncolo astuto che segue poche e semplici regole per tenersi lontano dalla prigione, si presenta un'occasione cui è difficile resistere. Il caso si apre quando il figlio tossicodipendente di Raymond si mette nei guai con il suo spacciatore e Ray deve giocarsi tutto quello che gli resta per salvargli la vita, almeno un'ultima volta. Un padre, un tossico, un uomo di legge: mentre il caso avvicina questi uomini da punti diversi di un'implacabile epidemia, si compone il ritratto di un'umanità sul punto del tracollo, costretta a confrontarsi con una sola realtà: \"Le nostre vite sono la somma di tutte le scelte che abbiamo fatto. Cosa sarebbe il mondo senza le conseguenze?\".

A unique collaboration by two veteran recorders of the railway scene in words and pictures. Since 1967, David Joy has written over 50 books on railways and numerous aspects of the Yorkshire Dales. Gavin Morrison, one of Britain's most experienced railway photographers, has compiled more than 60 books and has gained the highest reputation for the quality of his work.\nThey decided to celebrate four decades of working together in a book that is both informative and richly illustrated. Gavin first selected more than 150 of his favourite photographs depicting lines serving the Dales. David then wrote an evocative text emphasising how they have changed from the late 1950s through to the present day. The result is a nostalgic and evocative depiction of railways in a glorious corner of what has become known as 'God's Own County'.\nCoverage includes the legendary Settle to Carlisle railway, as well as many other lines ranging from forgotten branches in Nidderdale and Wensleydale through to electrified routes carrying commuters into the heart of Leeds.

A journey from where we are to achieving true happiness.\n\nSister Mary David Totah was a nun of the Benedictine contemplative community of St Cecilia’s Abbey on the Isle of Wight. American by birth, she was educated at Loyola University, the University of Virginia and Christ Church, Oxford. After a distinguished teaching career, she entered religious life in 1985. For 22 years until her early death from cancer she guided the young nuns of her abbey with enthusiasm, wisdom and wit.\n\nThe spirituality to be found in the pages of this book demonstrates to the reader why her influence should have been so great and so deep. Her notes to the novices deal with issues of relevance to a world beyond the cloister: What is the meaning of suffering? How do we cope with living with people who annoy us? How do we relate to a God we cannot see? How do we make the big decisions of life?\n\nSister Mary David’s teaching was both profound and intensely practical, suffused with faith in God’s joy in our work, leisure, community and family life but above all in our view and understanding of ourselves. This book, with an introduction by Abbot Erik Varden OCSO (author of The Shattering of Loneliness) shows us how to realize the Joy that is God.

Inghilterra, fine anni Settanta: lan Curtis aspira a qualcosa di più che vivere nella sua cittadina natale. Desideroso di emulare gli idoli musicali del momento, da David Bowie a Iggy Pop, diventa il leader dei Joy Division ma, in poco tempo, le paure e le emozioni che nutrono la sua musica sembrano consumarlo. Sposatosi giovanissimo e padre di una bimba, trascura i suoi doveri famigliari per inseguire un nuovo amore e soddisfare le aspettative crescenti della sua band.

One hundred of the most evocative modern poems on joy, selected by an award-winning contemporary poet\n\"Bursting with energy and surprising locutions. . . . Even the most familiar poets seem somehow new within the context of Joy.\"-David Skeel, Wall Street Journal \"Wiman takes readers through the ostensible ordinariness of life and reveals the extraordinary.\"-Adrianna Smith, The Atlantic\n Christian Wiman, a poet known for his meditations on mortality, has long been fascinated by joy and by its relative absence in modern literature. Why is joy so resistant to language? How has it become so suspect in our times? Manipulated by advertisers, religious leaders, and politicians, joy can seem disquieting, even offensive. How does one speak of joy amid such ubiquitous injustice and suffering in the world?\n\n In this revelatory anthology, Wiman takes readers on a profound and surprising journey through some of the most underexplored terrain in contemporary life. Rather than define joy for readers, he wants them to experience it. Ranging from Emily Dickinson to Mahmoud Darwish and from Sylvia Plath to Wendell Berry, he brings together diverse and provocative works as a kind of counter to the old, modernist maxim \"light writes white\"-no agony, no art. His rich selections awaken us to the essential role joy plays in human life.

INCLUDES 'PREQUEL' THE TOWER THE FIELDS THE TRANSMITTERS\n\n'This book spoke, it said \"read me\" from the very first sentence as if it were alive, it gave me visceral joy' Kim Gordon\n\n'Reading [Xstabeth] feels like being cut open to the accompanying sound of ecstatic music' Edna O'Brien\n\n'Prepare for more of that inimitable Keenan narrative voodoo brilliance' Wendy Erskine\n\nIn St Petersburg, Russia, Aneliya is torn between the love of her father and her father's best friend. Her father dreams of becoming a great musician but suffers with a naivete that means he will never be taken seriously. Her father's best friend has a penchant for vodka, strip clubs and moral philosophy.\n\nWhen an angelic presence named Xstabeth enters their lives - a presence who simultaneously fulfils and disappears those she touches - Aneliya and her father's world is transformed. \n\nMoving from Russia to St Andrews, Scotland, Xstabeth tackles the metaphysics of golf, the mindset of classic Russian novels and the power of art and music to re-wire reality. Charged with a consuming intensity and a torrential rhythm that pulses with music, it is an offering of transcendence and a love letter to the books of Chandler, Nabokov and Dostoevsky, by a writer who is rewriting the rulebook of contemporary fiction.

For readers of Michael Morpurgo and Katherine Rundell, from the author of the beloved Skellig.\n\n\nShe felt like a ghost. She woke in the night.

From professor, pastor, and producer of the documentary Bono and Eugene Peterson: The Psalms, a devotional examination of the life of faith as presented in the Psalter--one lived in joy, sorrow, anger, doubt, fear, mortality, community, isolation, and above all in the presence of God--in order to deepen discipleship and worship.\n\n\"A book you will want to read and read again.\" -- Eugene Peterson\n\nAfterword by Bono.\n\nHow can we find a more transparent, resilient, and fearless life of faith? \n\nThe book of Psalms has been central to God's people for millennia, across all walks of life and cultural contexts. In reading it, we discover that we are never alone in our joys, sorrows, angers, doubts, praises, or thanksgivings. In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and community, justice and enemies, life and death, nations and creation. Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the psalms in a fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for life that they provide.\n\n\"David Taylor's take is 'open and unafraid' alright. He really goes there, exposing himself before God in the most beautiful way. He might have called the book Naked, because if you don't find your own self feeling a little exposed here, it might be time to take some armor off.\" -- Bono, from the Afterword\n\n\"A book that you will want to read and read again, and yet again, in order to discover the wisdom of the Psalms that shows us how to walk in the life-giving way of Jesus.\" -- Eugene Peterson, from the Foreword\n\n\"A winsome, accessible entry into the Book of Psalms...Connects the poetry of the psalms to real-life wonders and struggles.\" -- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary\n\n\"Taylor reads these biblical prayers with Dr. Seuss, rappers, and other poets, along with theologians and the daily news....Guides readers in tracing out patterns of holy speech that have the potential for healing our hearts and our communities.\" -- Ellen F.

And after reading this fantastic book about them, I love them even more.\" -- Matt Redman, worship leader and song writer\n\n\"In these fraught and fearsome days, we need the psalms more than ever. And we need more faithful artists and thinkers like David Taylor to mine the infinite gifts the psalms offer across the ages.\" -- Karen Swallow Prior, author of Fierce Convictions

The Apostle Paul has a deep-seated joy in Christ. He is content whether he is in want or plenty and yes even in the face of great suffering and persecution. His life exemplifies what it means to live a Christ-like life full of devotion and joy. There is no better place to go to find an autobiography and indeed the theology of Paul than the book of Philippians. It is here we see his focus on Christ and his pastoral concern and spiritual feeling for the people at Philippi. David Chapman skilfully unpacks the book of Philippians and provides us with some personal reflection questions which help us to apply it to our lives.
