Северный лес
Дэниел Мейсон 4.1
Когда двое молодых влюбленных сбегают из пуританской колонии, они не ведают, что скромная хижина, которую они построят в дремучем лесу, станет домом для удивительных человеческих и нечеловеческих обитателей, которые будут сменять друг друга в течение многих десятилетий. Английский солдат, решивший начать мирную жизнь, посвятит себя заботе о яблоневом саде. Две сестры-близняшки станут жить под сенью яблонь, справляясь с голодом, трудностями, ревностью, страстями. Пантера, которая найдет в хижине надежное укрытие. Призраки, стерегущие покой ветшающего дома. Художник, яростно оберегающий тайну. Заядлый охотник, чьей жене мерещатся голоса (или все-таки не мерещатся?). И многие, многие другие. Когда одна история заканчивается, начинается другая, и эта преемственность перекликается с цикличностью природы, со сменой времен года. И в этом круговороте историй обитателей дома, определяемых природными циклами, прошлое проникает в настоящее, а будущее возвращается назад. Люди и деревья, плоды и жуки, пантеры и овцы – все они равны, и все – часть единого, прекрасного и ужасного мира. Следуя циклам истории, природы и даже языка, «Северный лес» показывает множество волшебных связей, которыми мы соединены с окружающей средой, историей и друг с другом. Это необычный, изобретательно выстроенный, полный юмора и надежды роман о ходе времени, о нашей связи с миром и о том, как увидеть в истории потерь историю перемен. Но это не просто хорошая книга, но и призыв задаться вопросом: как нам жить дальше, даже после того, как нас не станет?

Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America
Хизер Кокс Ричардсон 0.0
“Engaging and highly accessible.” —Boston Globe

“A vibrant, and essential history of America's unending, enraging and utterly compelling struggle since its founding to live up to its own best ideals… It's both a cause for hope, and a call to arms.”--Jane Mayer, author Dark Money

From historian and author of the popular daily newsletter LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN, a vital narrative that explains how America, once a beacon of democracy, now teeters on the brink of autocracy -- and how we can turn back.

In the midst of the impeachment crisis of 2019, Heather Cox Richardson launched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. It soon turned into a newsletter and its readership ballooned to more than 2 million dedicated readers who rely on her plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in America.

In Democracy Awakening , Richardson crafts a compelling and original narrative, explaining how, over the decades, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism -- creating a disaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel important again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s true history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this nation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. Richardson sees this history as a roadmap for the nation’s future.

Richardson’s talent is to wrangle our giant, meandering, and confusing news feed into a coherent story that singles out what we should pay attention to, what the precedents are, and what possible paths lie ahead. In her trademark calm prose, she is realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Her command of history allows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch McConnell, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal, the lingering fears of socialism, the death of the liberal consensus and birth of “movement conservatism.”

Many books tell us what has happened over the last five years. Democracy Awakening explains how we got to this perilous point, what our history really tells us about ourselves, and what the future of democracy can be.

Small Things Mended
Casey W. Robinson 0.0
The healing power of community is tenderly expressed in this picture book for fans of A Sick Day for Amos McGhee and Last Stop on Market Street.

Kindly Cecil has a broken heart, but when the kids in his neighborhood start asking him to fix their valuables—a music box, a watch, a stuffed elephant—he gradually finds that he knows just how to do this mending. And in return, his circle of new friends offers the mending that his own heart needs.

This gentle, kindhearted story brings the generations of a community together to sustain and enrich one another, and it beautifully showcases the value of fixing things―and loving their history―rather than quickly discarding them.
