One of our hand-picked classics that no home should be without, now with Beya Rebaï's beautifully atmospheric artwork.I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.Sylvia Plath's groundbreaking semi-autobiographical novel offers an intimate, honest and often wrenching glimpse into mental illness. The Bell Jar broke the boundaries between fiction and reality and helped cement Sylvia Plath's place as an enduring feminist icon. Celebrated for its darkly humorous, razor sharp portrait of 1950s society, it continues to resonate with readers today as testament to the universal human struggle to claim one's rightful place in the world.Part of a select range of illustrated 'rite of passage reads' from Faber, which includes: The Great Gatsby, Nineteen Eighty-Four, A Room with a View and Maurice.

Det blir en spännande resa på skumpiga vägar och solgassande bygator, bland livsfarliga anakondor, krokodiler och tjattrande apor i djungeln. Och där finns även mostern som bor i en hydda mitt inne i skogen med djuren runtomkring sig, i fred med varandra – nästan som i Paradiset, tycker Junior!
En varm och livfull berättelse om Juniors barndom i Brasilien, rikt illustrerad med Lerins enastående akvareller.

Today I got out of bed and asked Mum what day it was. “Monday” she said. I asked if that was a nursery day. She said yes. I stomped my feet.Even though nursery is fun, it’s still hard not to miss Mum throughout the week! But despite her busy job, there’s always time for stories, time for games; time for hugs and time for love.Based on real conversations Dame Jacinda Ardern had with her young daughter while she was prime minister of New Zealand, this book celebrates the relationship between working mums and their children. Mum’s Busy Work shows how, even when apart during the day, the love between a parent and their child is unquestionable.
