Gabaón es un pueblo al borde de un cortado, frente al mar, pero también un colegio, un orfelinato, un monasterio. Allí conviven sesenta y una monjas atareadas y llenas de propósito. Y tres curas indolentes con el enjuto y vertical padre Alén al frente, con su voz de rallador de pan, a un suspiro de la madre Adriana y sus enormes gafas. Y una niña acaso endemoniada en una habitación sin ventanas. Y el Hombre Guapo dentro de ella. Y un enjambre de personajes extraviados para enturbiarlo todo.

The Garden France, 1944. Jessica Freeman carries her father's Winchester and a simple philosophy: gardens need weeding. Fifty rounds of ammunition. Fifty chances to balance the scales. Recruited by the OSS for skills the Army didn't want to name, Jessica parachutes into occupied France with a scope, a list, and Papa's ghost whispering warnings she's learning to ignore. Nazis. Collaborators. Rapists hiding behind uniforms and laws. She pulls them like weeds from the garden of the innocent.

Some people solve problems. Bertie Wooster collects them beautifully. An ill-advised lunch, a formidable aunt, a sentimental friend with catastrophic romantic instincts, and a betting disaster — in this universe, high society seems permanently one misunderstanding away from collapse. Fortunately, there remains the calm, incomparable intelligence of Jeeves, who can restore social order with a raised eyebrow and a perfectly timed remark. In The Inimitable Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse turns ordinary inconvenience into high comedy.

Theodore Huebner Roethke (May 25, 1908 to August 1, 1963), born in Saginaw, Michigan, is regarded as one of America's most accomplished and influential poets, having won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1954 for his book The Waking, and the annual National Book Award for Poetry on two occasions. His work is characterized by a willingness to engage deeply with multifaceted introspection, and his style was overtly rhythmic, with skillful use of natural imagery.

Welcome to Cafés! Somewhere to eat and forget about work, where we can meet friends and not think about love, where we can meet lovers and be too nervous to eat. In Holly Pester's unique lyric, the café becomes a structure of fantasy and language exploring life at the pressurised edges. It becomes a form – a canto or a verse – unearthing what this space promises us in terms of freedom and thought, and what it holds back.
