Reviewers love Relight My Fire...Transgressively hilarious . . . Of course theres a story that the intrepid journalists of The Stranger Times have to tease out . . . but the real joy lies in the pitfalls and pratfalls of getting thereDAILY MAILAn absolute riot of a read DAILY EXPRESSLaugh-out-loud funnyDAILY MIRRORI loved the dry and embedded humour of this book, its the stuff of life SFCROSWNESTSome comebacks can be murder . . .Stella is enjoying life as an almost student, or at least she is until a man falls from the sky right in front of her, leaving a big old hole in the pavement for Manchester Council to fill. The obvious question of how he ended up in the sky in the first place has no obvious answers, which is where The Stranger Times come in. This isnt just the hunt for another story though.

Un manifest que reivindica la filosofia i incita el lector a pensar."Cal buidar el ritme del món per fer lloc al pensar." escriu Marta Jorba. Pensar és la facultat més intrínseca de la filosofia i dels humans. Cap intel·ligencia artificial pot substituir el pensament individual. Per aixo hem demanat a sis reconeguts pensadors actuals, dedats i procedencies ben diferents Fina Birules, Jaume Casals, Raul Garrigasait, Marta Jorba, Josep Ramoneda i Xita Rubert que reflexionin sobre que implica pensar avui dia. El resultat es aquest llibre divers: un mosaic representatiu del pensament a casa nostra en que els autors aporten idees lucides i estimulants sobre que suposa i que comporta pensar avui. Quan pensem, descobrim una de les formes de mourens lliurement en el mon. Pensar es sortir del cercle traçat, gosar anar mes enlla, transgredir les lleis del discurs dominant. Fina BirulesEn una capa profunda del pensament, per sota de la pretesa autosuficiencia de les articulacions racionals, sempre hi ha alguna metafora que ja ha pensat abans que nosaltres. Raul GarrigasaitCal "buidar" el ritme del mon per fer lloc al pensar. Pensar requereix un fer reposat que permeti reflexionar sobre les questions i tornar-hi una vegada i una altra. Marta Jorba

Cinc relats sobre la joventut, lamistat i els desitjos profunds.Les aigues del llac fan de mirall, pero alhora permeten de capbussar-shi i dexplorar laltra banda. Aixo fan les protagonistes dels relats de Natalia Cerezo: sinclinen sobre el seu reflex bellugadis i busquen la propia identitat submergides en el passat. Ara lautora porta el lector a un hospital de Taipei, esperant que un amic surti del coma; ara el condueix pels llargs passadissos de casa lavia o el situa en un balneari on dues germanes bessones troben a faltar el pare. La joventut, lamistat, els misteriosos lligams familiars, el que uneix i separa les parelles i els desitjos mes profunds, turbulencies sota les aigues tranquil·les.

The Terror meets Yellowjackets as a disgraced Arctic explorer sets out on a voyage to track down his former crewmate, only to be confronted by the ghosts of his cannibalistic past; from the Bram Stoker Award nominated author of All the White Spaces. Perfect for fans of Michelle Paver and Stephen Graham Jones.William Day should be an acclaimed Arctic explorer. But after a failed expedition to find the fabled Open Polar Sea, in which his men only survived by eating their comrades, he returned in disgrace. A cannibal. A murderer.Thirteen years later, his second-in-command, Jesse Stevens, has gone missing in the same waters. Perhaps this is Days chance to restore his tarnished reputation by bringing Stevens the man whos haunted his whole life back home. But when the rescue mission into the frozen wastes becomes an uncanny journey into his own past, Day must face up to the things hes done.Aboard ship, Day must also contend with unwanted passengers: a reporter obsessively digging up the truth about the first expedition, and Stevenss wife, a spiritualist whose seances both fascinate and frighten. Following a trail of cryptic messages, gaunt bodies, and old bones, their search becomes more and more unnerving, as it becomes clear that for Day the restless dead are never far behind.
