Winter
A once-in-a-generation series, Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet is a tour-de-force about love, time, art, politics, and how we live now.<BR><BR>Winter? Bleak.

Even in the bleak midwinter, Smith is evergreen' Daily Telegraph<BR><BR>'Graceful, mischievous, joyful . . . Infused with some much-needed humour, happiness and hope' Independent<BR><BR>'A novel of great ferocity, tenderness and generosity of spirit . . . Luminously beautiful' Observer

Antigone
Die alte Krähe hat schon viel gesehen in ihrem langen Leben, und sie weiß: Das Königreich Theben ist verflucht, seit Krähen gedenken. In der Nacht hat ein schrecklicher Kampf getobt, weil zwei Brüder sich nicht einig waren, wem von ihnen die Königskrone zusteht. Menschen! Nun sind beide tot. Doch nur Eteokles darf beerdigt werden, das hat Kreon, der neue König, verfügt. Der andere Bruder, Polyneikes, sei ein Verräter und werde den Tieren zum Fraß vorgeworfen.

Sheer inventive power' Observer<BR><BR>Why are books so powerful? <BR>What do the books we read make of us? <BR>And what does the vanishing of public libraries say about us?<BR><BR> These stories are about what we do with books and what they do with us: how they travel with us; how they shock us, change us, challenge us, banish time while making us older, wiser and ageless all at once; how they remind us to pay attention to the world we make.<BR><BR> Public libraries are places of joy, freedom, community and discovery - and they are under threat from funding cuts and widespread closures across the UK and further afield.
