Book Description
Oare așa ar trebui să se simtă iubirea? • Bărbatul pe care îl iubești își arogă dreptul de a controla felul cum trăiești și cum te porți? • Ai renunțat la oameni sau activități importante pentru tine ca să-l faci pe el fericit? • Este extrem de gelos și posesiv? • Trece de la un comportament plin de farmec la o criză de furie fără niciun avertisment? • Îți desconsideră opiniile, sentimentele sau realizările? • Te privează de căldură, de bani, de aprobarea lui sau de sex ca să te pedepsească? • Te învinovățește pentru tot ce nu merge bine în relația voastră? • Ai impresia că trăiești cu teamă și că îi ceri tot timpul iertare? Dacă, răspunzând la aceste întrebări, descoperi anumite tipare comportamentale ale celui pe care îl iubești, s-ar putea să fii îndrăgostită de un misogin – un bărbat care te iubește, dar care îți provoacă o suferință imensă pentru că se poartă ca și cum te-ar disprețui. Susan Forward spune povestea mai multor cupluri cu care a avut de-a face în realitate și redă mărturiile unor bărbați și femei captivi în asemenea relații negative. Rezultatul este un ghid clar, cuprinzător și plin de compasiune, cu ajutorul căruia poți ajunge să înțelegi comportamentul distructiv al bărbatului de lângă tine și rolul pe care tu însăți îl joci în perpetuarea lui. A doua parte a cărții te învață pas cu pas ce poți face ca să rescrii scenariul relației voastre, să-ți vindeci suferința, să-ți recâștigi respectul de sine și să decizi în deplină cunoștință de cauză cum te organizezi mai departe: fie reconstruiești relația cu partenerul pe baze noi, fie găsești curajul să ieși din ea și să-ți asumi o nouă viață. „Atentă să evite platitudinile și vorbăria, Susan Forward scoate cu sagacitate la lumină una dintre laturile întunecate ale relațiilor dintre femei și bărbați.“ Kirkus Review

The Ten Loves of Nishino
Author: Hiromi Kawakami
Publisher: Europa Editions
ISBN: 1609455320
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
The story of an enigmatic man through the voices of ten remarkable women who have loved him at one point in their lives. Each woman has succumbed, even if only for an hour, to that seductive, imprudent, and furtively feline man who drifted so naturally into their lives. Still clinging to the vivid memory of his warm breath and his indecipherable sentences, ten women tell their stories as they attempt to recreate the image of the unfathomable Nishino. Like a modern Decameron, this humorous, sensual, and touching novel by one of Japan’s best-selling and most beloved writers is a powerful and embracing portrait of the human comedy in ten voices. Driven by desires that are at once unique and common, the women in this book are modern, familiar to us, and still mysterious. A little like Nishino himself . . . Winner 2020 Pen Translation Prize Praise for The Ten Loves of Nishino “If you like Haruki Murakami and Yoko Ogawa, it’s a safe bet that you’ll love The Ten Loves of Nishino.” —DozoDomo (France) “Agile, inventive fiction.” —Booklist “An intriguing portrayal of romantic attachment.” —The New Yorker “The women in this collection are vibrant, lusty, and clearly the agents of their own love lives . . . . Kawakami's novel treats its feminist themes with a light hand but still slyly lands its points.” —Kirkus Reviews

Meet author Michelle Cunnah, a fresh new voice, and the lovable characters she creates. It’s Emma’s thirty-first birthday, and everything is going swimmingly with her new love. Sure, he’s been called away for a business trip on her birthday, and sure, this business trip also involves a gorgeous, perfect, voluptuous colleague, and sure, there’s a weird ring hiding in his underwear drawer that doesn’t fit Emma, in size or style. But that’s no reason to get worried, right? Right?!? Emma knows she should stop obsessing, but suddenly it seems that Jack is every bit the commitment-phobe she fears. And if that doesn’t keep her busy enough, she’s just inherited 9 ½ historic inches of the fence that her long-lost aunt chained herself to for women’s rights, leaving her hopelessly involved in the Hoboken United Sisters Suffragette Institution (HUSSI), and Jack is too buried in his work (but hopefully not his co-worker) to help her extricate herself. It’s starting to seem like the only way for Emma to get Jack’s attention is to chain herself to a fence and burn her bra. Not that Emma has any problem doing exactly that ...
