And the Stones Cry Out - Clara Dupont Monod - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

And the Stones Cry Out - Clara Dupont Monod - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

"True in the way only great fiction can be . . . Every word matters. Read it" CLARE OSHETSKY "Clara''s sentences are tender and illuminating, they carefully guided me along a complex family story, like stones skimming on water . . . I''m so thankful this book exists" SZILVIA MOLNAR This is the story of a child with black eyes that float in and out of focus, a child soft and round, with translucent, blue-veined legs unable to hold his weight. This is the story of his place in the Cévennes house where he was born, overlooked by swaying trees and craggy mountains. This is the story of his siblings: the eldest who spends his days cheek-to-cheek with his baby brother, attuned to the rushing, buzzing, whistling sounds that connect him to the outside world; the sister who rejects him and resents him for consuming the attention of her parents and brother, for turning her family upside down; and the youngest, whose life unfolds in the shadow of what his brother''s might have been.This is the story of the ancient stones embedded in the courtyard walls, devoted witnesses to the children''s lives, who watch over them and tell their tale.A fable for our time, And the Stones Cry Out delicately paints the portrait of a family adapting to their circumstances, to each other, and to a world not built for difference. Translated from the French by Ben Faccini

Does It Fart? - Dani Rabaiotti - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Does It Fart? - Dani Rabaiotti - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The ultimate guide to animal flatulence: the perfect gift for anyone who has ever farted. Dogs do it. Millipedes do it. Dinosaurs did it. You do it: I do it. Octopuses don''t (and nor do octopi). Spiders might do it: more research is needed. Birds don''t do it, but they could if they wanted to. Herrings do it to communicate with each other. At the beginning of 2017, an innocent question on twitter about snakes formed the hashtag #doesitfart and spread pungently across the internet - and major newspapers - as dozens of experts weighed in on which animals do and don''t fart, and if they do, how much, how often, what it''s made of, what it smells like, and what it''s for. Does it Fart? is the result: the fully authoritative, fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence, covering the habits of 80 animals in more detail than you ever knew you needed. What foods make hyena farts smell especially bad? What is a fossa, and does it fart? Why do clams vomit but not fart? What is a fart, anyway? With contributions from dozens of biologists, Does it Fart? is a book that will allow you to shift the blame onto all kinds of unlikely animals for years to come.

True, the husbands of Motal have been vanishing for years, but a wife and mother? Whoever heard of such a thing. What on earth possessed her?Could it have anything to do with Fanny''s missing brother-in-law, who left her sister almost a year ago and ran away to Minsk, abandoning their family to destitution and despair?Or could Fanny have been lured away by Zizek Breshov, the mysterious ferryman on the Yaselda river, who, in a strange twist of events, seems to have disappeared on the same night?Surely there can be no link between Fanny and the peculiar roadside murder on the way to Minsk, which has left Colonel Piotr Novak, head of the Russian secret police, scratching his head. Surely a crime like that could have nothing to do with Fanny Keismann, however the people of Motal might mutter about her reputation as a vilde chaya , a wild animal . . . Surely not.
