Set in May 1938, the young novelist Aoyama Chizuko sails from Japan to Taiwan where her interpreter proffers tantalising glimpses of island life and helps her to taste as much of cuisine as her larger-than-life appetite can bear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shuang-zi Yang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54100206158163,"sku":"9781916751651","price":18.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1079\/6695\/5859\/files\/taiwan.jpg?v=1782659574"},{"product_id":"famesick-4227","title":"Famesick","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003eLena Dunham\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eGenre\u003c\/span\u003eLiterary Fiction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/span\u003eNew\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTHE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e'Typically exposing, brilliantly written' VOGUE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e'Its quick hits of wit are like sniffs from an oxygen mask' NEW YORK TIMES'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFew people are willing to be as human as Lena Dunham \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003e' OBSERVER'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003eIn this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain.For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lame corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBut Dunham does it - even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her - because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self was.As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame - from selling the pilot of Girls to the present - in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move - being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience.In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lena Dunham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54100208189779,"sku":"9780008384227","price":18.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1079\/6695\/5859\/files\/9780008384227-L.jpg?v=1782404971"},{"product_id":"book-of-mysteries-7683","title":"Book of Mysteries","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003eRebecca Tamas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eGenre\u003c\/span\u003eBiography\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #aaa;\"\u003ePAGES\u003c\/span\u003e240pp\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Insightful and bracing: a personal and political journey through the seasons' Melissa Harrison, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll Among the Barley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A wonderfully unmooring passage through a year that connects to life that is deeper, looser, and more true than the tightly wound, unnatural calendars so many of us keep' Amina Cain, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndelicacy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'This book is a precious and life-affirming gift to our hearts and intellects' Rebecca May Johnson, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmall Fires\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt festive gatherings celebrating summer's peak, in reflective moments as winter gave way, Rebecca Tamás began to hear another rhythm.
