The Satyricon
by Petronius
Genres: Classics, Fiction, Poetry, Literature, Ancient, Roman, Ancient History
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.79

El Satiricón narra las aventuras de tres jóvenes y un viejo poeta, e incluye algunos cuentos milesios. El estilo poético de Petronio es parecido al de Ovidio, aunque sus antecedentes prosaicos se hallan en Aristófanes.El Satiricón es el primer ejemplo de novela picaresca en la literatura europea, y puede considerarse el modelo de novelas posteriores. Ofrece una descripción única y franca de la vida en el siglo I d. C. A pesar de que su narrador se expresa en el mejor latín, la obra es especialmente valiosa por los coloquialismos en los diálogos de muchos personajes que ofrecen un interesante objeto de estudio sobre el latín vulgar de la época.

by Derek Landy
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult, Urban Fantasy, Fiction, Magic, Mystery, Adventure
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.40

The third bone-breaking, belly-busting adventure in the series that puts the “funny” back in, um, funny series. That didn’t really work, did it?If you’ve read the previous Skulduggery books then you know what the Faceless Ones are — and if you know what the Faceless Ones are, then you can probably take a wild guess that things in this book are going to get AWFULLY sticky for our skeletal hero and his young sidekick. If you haven’t read the previous Skulduggery books then what are you doing reading this? Go and read them right now, so that you know what all that stuff in the previous paragraph was about. Done? Good. So now you’re on tenterhooks too, desperately awaiting the answers to all your questions, and instead you’re going to have to wait to read the book. Sorry about that.

Zebra Forest
by Adina Rishe Gewirtz
Genres: Middle Grade, Realistic Fiction, Young Adult, Historical Fiction, Fiction, Family, Childrens
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.74

In an extraordinary debut novel, an escaped fugitive upends everything two siblings think they know about their family, their past, and themselves.When eleven-year-old Annie first started lying to her social worker, she had been taught by an expert: Gran. "If you’re going to do something, make sure you do it with excellence," Gran would say. That was when Gran was feeling talkative, and not brooding for days in her room — like she did after telling Annie and her little brother, Rew, the one thing they know about their father: that he was killed in a fight with an angry man who was sent away. Annie tells stories, too, as she and Rew laze under the birches and oaks of Zebra Forest — stories about their father the pirate, or pilot, or secret agent. But then something shocking happens to unravel all their stories: a rattling at the back door, an escapee from the prison holding them hostage in their own home, four lives that will never be the same. Driven by suspense and psychological intrigue, Zebra Forest deftly portrays an unfolding standoff of truth against family secrets — and offers an affecting look at two resourceful, imaginative kids as they react and adapt to the hand they’ve been dealt.

Average rating on Goodreads: 4.09

When Jean Macquart arrives in the peasant community of Beauce, where farmers have worked the same land for generations, he quickly finds himself involved in the corrupt affairs of the local Fouan family. Aging and Lear-like, Old Man Fouan has decided to divide his land between his three children: his penny-pinching daughter Fanny, his eldest son - a far from holy figure known as 'Jesus Christ' - and the lecherous Buteau, Macquart's friend. But in a community where land is everything, sibling rivalry quickly turns to brutal hatred, as Buteau declares himself unsatisfied with his lot. Part of the vast Rougon-Macquart cycle, The Earth was regarded by Zola as his greatest novel. A fascinating portrayal of a struggling but decadent community, it offers a compelling exploration of the destructive nature of human ignorance and greed

A Shot of Faith (to the Head): Be a Confident Believer in an Age of Cranky Atheists
by Mitch Stokes
Genres: Philosophy, Nonfiction, Christian, Theology, Christianity, Religion, Science
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.21

A Shot of Faith to the Head provides Christians with clear and powerful ways to address atheism's most ardent proponents, and it shows that believers can remain calm, confident, and effective in the face of contemporary attacks on faith. But more than just offering defensive tools, the author provides the Christian with powerful means for launching offensive strikes on unbelief. After providing the reader with an update from the front in the war between faith and unbelief, the book presents a fundamental lesson about the very nature of evidence, a lesson extracted from the recent revolution in Christian thought. The book then turns to a handful of the most important specific issues in the debate between belief and unbelief: the surprising implications of naturalism (the view that only the natural world of space and time exists) the universe's remarkable mathematical design the necessary religious nature of science the possibility of good and evil in a purely physical world With this information, Stokes arms readers with the weapons to go on the offensive against unbelief and to be able to use these with kindness for evangelistic purposes.
This Divided Island: Stories from the Sri Lankan War
by Samanth Subramanian
Genres: Nonfiction, History, War, Politics, Asia, India, Travel
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.36

In the summer of 2009, the leader of the dreaded Tamil Tiger guerrillas was killed, bringing to a bloody end the stubborn and complicated civil war in Sri Lanka. For nearly thirty years, the war's fingers had reached everywhere: into the bustle of Colombo, the Buddhist monasteries scattered across the island, the soft hills of central Sri Lanka, the curves of the eastern coast near Batticaloa and Trincomalee and the stark, hot north. With its genius for brutality, the war left few places and fewer people, untouched.What happens to the texture of life in a country that endures such bitter conflict? What happens to the country's soul? Samanth Subramanian gives us an extraordinary account of the Sri Lankan war and the lives it changed. Taking us to the ghosts of summers past and to other battles from other times, he draws out the story of Sri Lanka today-an exhausted, disturbed society, still hot from the embers of the war. Through travels and conversations, he examines how people reconcile themselves to violence, how religion and state conspire, how the powerful become cruel and how victory can be put to the task of reshaping memory and burying histories.This Divided Island is a harrowing and humane investigation of a country still inflamed.

Miss Julie
by August Strindberg
Genres: Plays, Classics, Drama, Theatre, Fiction, Swedish Literature, Scandinavian Literature
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.45

Het is bijzonder verheugend dat naast het prozawerk van de Zweedse schrijver August Strindberg nu een deel van zijn dramatisch oeuvre, gedeeltelijk voor het eerst in vertaling is verschenen. Het betreft tien eenacters, ontstaan tussen 1888 en 1892, waaronder het beroemde stuk "Freule Julie". Ze werden in het seizoen 1984/85 met groot succes ten tonele gebracht door de theatergroep Persona. De uitgave wordt voorafgegaan door een uitstekende algemene inleiding over leven en werken van Strindberg (10 blz.) en over de eenacters zelf (ruim 6 blz.). Het theaterhistorisch zeer belangrijke voorwoord bij "Freule Julie" van 1888 is tevens opgenomen. In de vertalingen zijn de nieuwste tekstgegevens verwerkt uit de verzamelde werken die in Zweden bezig zijn te verschijnen. Op een na zijn de vertalingen van Karst Woudstra. De uitgave is nogal slordig gecorrigeerd. Deze bundel mag in geen bibliotheek ontbreken.
