Europa editions Distributed by PGW The Lying Life of Adults Elena Ferrante Translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein Ferrante’s first new work of fiction in five years “Modern, urgent, truthful.”— The Telegraph

Giovanna’s pretty face has changed into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection? Her search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. Adrift, she vacillates between these two cities. But neither city seems to offer her any answers.

This powerful new novel set in a divided Naples by best-selling author Elena Ferrante is a singular portrayal of the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.

5 My Devotion Julia Kerninon Translated from the French by Alison Anderson

Winner of the 2018 Fénéon Literary Prize

A subtle, captivating, and insightful exploration of the mysterious connections between love, submission, and creation.

Helen and Frank, both born into high-ranking diplomatic families, meet in Rome as high-school students and immediately detect in each other the wounded child hidden beneath their gilded social status. Their relationship becomes a dangerous, explosive mix of love and friendship.

Immediately after Helen’s graduation, they leave their past and family behind to move in together in her apartment in Amsterdam. While Helen immerses herself in her studies and embarks on a promising academic career, Frank, after a few difficult years, makes a spectacular debut on the Dutch Art scene with his first paintings. Helen remains faithfully by his side during his rise to fame, overseeing the domestic details of his life in apparent total self-abnegation.

Are introverted Helen and flamboyant Frank who they really appear to be? Are they victims or monsters? Kerninon’s English language debut, full of masterfully orchestrated twists and turns, leaves these simple distinctions behind, and progresses into far more fascinating terrain.

7 A Kingdom of Tender Colors: A Memoir of Comedy, Survival, and Love Seth Greenland

A screenwriter and satirist with a blooming career in Hollywood, Seth has felt pretty good about his life until now; suddenly, the world has tipped on its axis.

A Kingdom of Tender Colors is a book about cancer—the funny side.

With the support of friends and family, Seth launches into an attempt to save his own life without losing either his sanity or his sense of humor. From chemotherapy treatments, to meditation and more alternative treatments, he battles the disease with wit, honesty, and no small amount of sheer terror. There are no pat answers or inspirational revelations here, just one man confronting hopes and fears recognizable to us all—and triumphing.

Few countries have received more media attention in recent years and even fewer have been represented in such vastly divergent ways.

13 The Night in Gethsemane: On Solitude and Betrayal Massimo Recalcati Translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein

Highly regarded philosopher and psychoanalyst, Massimo Recalcati has penned a gripping, erudite meditation on suffering, doubt, betrayal, and the potential for renewal that dwells in our most painful moments. For Recalcati, Jesus’s reckoning in the Garden of Gethsemane is at once an instance of human weakness and an encounter with the Divine. It is the story where the Divine and the Human meet most forcefully, first in company, then in solitude, and where agony and doubt mingle with potential rebirth and revitalization. As the Gospels recount, after the Last Supper, Jesus retreated to a small field just outside the city of Jerusalem: Gethsemane, the olive grove. His prayers are interrupted when Judas arrives with a group of armed men, and kisses him, betraying and abandoning him with a kiss. Jesus is forsaken by his friends and, PRAISE FOR THE NIGHT it seems to him in this moment, by his father, his God. IN GETHSEMANE His sin, in Recalcati’s view, is like Prometheus to have drawn Divine closer to man.

17 All God’s Children Aaron Gwyn

In 1827, Duncan Lammons, a disgraced young man from Kentucky, sets out to join the American army in the province of Texas, hoping that here he may live— and love—as he pleases. That same year, Cecelia, a young slave in Virginia, runs away for the first time.

Soon infamous for her escape attempts, Cecelia drifts through the reality of slavery—until she encounters frontiersman Sam Fisk, who rescues her from a slave auction in New Orleans.

In spite of her mistrust, Cecelia senses an opportunity for freedom, and travels with Sam to Texas, where he has a homestead. In this new territory, where the law is an instrument for the cruel and the wealthy, they begin an unlikely life together, unaware that their fates are intertwined with those of Sam’s former army mates—some of whom harbor dangerous dreams of their own.

A novel about the remarkable people living on the edge of freedom and slavery, All God’s Children brings to life the paradoxes of the American frontier—a place of liberty and bondage, wild equality, and cruel injustice.

This novel will take its place among the great stories that recount the country’s fight for freedom—one that makes us want to keep on with the struggle.

“Aaron Gwyn claims his place among the ranks of great American novelists with this richly drawn historical epic. A masterpiece.”—Philipp Meyer, author of The Son

19 Love in the Days of Rebellion Ahmet Altan Translated from the Turkish by Brendan Freely and Yelda Türedi

From the author of Like a Sword Wound

The second installment in the Ottoman Quartet—the masterful saga of Turkish history by Ahmet Altan— follows the vast and vivid cast of characters introduced in the first volume of the series, Like A Sword Wound. By weaving together tortured love affairs, political intrigue, power struggles, and social upheavals, the book offers a powerful and vivid tableau of the crisis of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century.The novel opens with the attempted suicide of Hikmet Bey, the son of the sultan’s personal physician. The reason for his extreme gesture was to forget the extremely beautiful and proud Mehpare Hanım, his wife and the cause of all his suffering. While Hikmet is recovering in a hospital in Thessaloniki, slowly regaining his strength and will to live, radical changes are afoot in the Ottoman capital. The power of the sultan is eroding, a rebellion is brewing, and violence erupts on the streets of Istanbul. It is the eve of one of the key events that will lead to the collapse of the Empire: the countercoup of 1909.

With striking clarity and imaginative power, Altan evokes the traumas and upheavals of Ottoman history, showing how—over a hundred years later—the events and wounds of that time still resonate in the tensions and contradictions of today’s Turkey.
