3 The Promise Damon Galgut

“Galgut will be seen as one of the great literary triumphs of South Africa’s transition… in every way the equal of J. M. Coetzee” —Rian Malan, author of My Traitor’s Heart

A modern saga that could only have come from South Africa, written in gorgeous prose that could only come from the pen of literary giant and Booker Prize-shortlisted author, Damon Galgut.

The Promise is the story of the Swart family— theirs is a story of failed possibilities, much like the history of their country.

Haunted by an unmet promise made to the family servant, the well-to-do Swarts lose touch after the death of their mother. Reunited by four funerals over three decades, the dwindling family reflects the charged atmosphere of post-apartheid South Africa in a family drama that unfurls against the unrelenting march of national history.

9 Thirst Europa editions Amélie Nothomb Translated from the French by Alison Anderson

In her twenty-eighth novel in as many years, best-selling Belgian novelist and international lit- erary superstar Amélie Nothomb takes on a story for the ages: the life of Jesus.

In a first-person voice as droll and irreverent as it is wise, Nothomb narrates Jesus’s final days, from his trial to his crucifixion to the resurrec- tion.

Amid asides about his relationships with his mother and Judas, his love for Mary Magdalene, and his many miracles, we find a man struggling with his humanity and his exceptional nature, straddling the line between human and deity, the son of a formless, omnipotent creator in the falli- ble form of a man.

15 In the Shadow Europa editions of the Fire Hervé Le Corre a novel Translated from the French by Tina Kover

Winner of the French Voices Prize, In the Shadow of the Fire traces the Paris Communards’ tragic odyssey, while following a breathless criminal inves- tigation.

In 1871, the Paris Commune’s “bloody week” sees the savage climax of the clashes between the Com- munards and the French Armed Forces loyal to Ver- sailles. Amid the shrapnel and the chaos, while the entire west side of Paris is a field of ruins, a photog- rapher fascinated by the suffering of young women takes “suggestive” photos to sell to a particular clien- tele.

Then young women begin disappearing, and when Caroline, a seamstress who volunteers at a first aid station, is counted among the missing, her fiancé Nicolas, a member of the Commune’s National Guard, and Communal security officer Antoine set off independently in search of her. Their race against the clock to find her takes them through the shell- shocked streets of Paris, and introduces them to a cast of fascinating characters.

19 Friends and Dark Shapes Kavita Bedford

A group of housemates in Sydney’s inner city contend with gentrification, divisive politics, stalled careers, their own complicated privilege as second-generation Australians, and the evolving world of dating in this moving, funny, and stylish debut novel.

Sydney’s inner city is very much its own place, yet also a stand-in for gentrifying inner-city suburbs the world over. In this compulsively readable debut, four young housemates struggle to untangle their complicated relationships while a poignant story of loss, grieving, and recovery unfolds.

The nameless narrator of this story has recently lost her father and now her existence is split in two: she conjures the past in which he was alive while living in the present, where he is not. To others, she appears to have it all together, but the grief she still feels creates an unsurmountable barrier between herself and others, between the life she had and the one she leads.

Wry, relatable, lyrical, and beautifully told, a book about politics, desire, youth, relationships and friends, Friends and Dark Shapes introduces a bold, new voice to American readers.

21 Brotherhood Mohamed Mbougar Sarr Translated from the French by Alexia Trigo

WINNER of the French Voices Grand Prize, Prix Ahmadou Kourouma, and Grand Prix du Roman Métis

Mohamed Mbougar Sarr’s searing and thought-pro- voking debut novel, Brotherhood takes place in the imaginary town of Kalep, where a fundamentalist Islamist government has spread its brutal authority.

MOHAMED MBOUGAR SARR Under the regime of the so-called Brotherhood, two young people are publicly executed for having loved each other. In response, their mothers begin a secret correspondence, their only outlet for the grief they share and each woman’s personal reckoning with a leadership that would take her beloved child’s life.

At the same time, spurred on by their indignation at what seems to be an escalation of The Brotherhood’s Europa brutality, a band of intellectuals and free-thinkers editions seeks to awaken the conscience of the cowed populace and foment rebellion by publishing an underground newspaper. While they grapple with the implications of what they have done, the regime’s brutal leader begins a personal crusade to find the responsible parties, and bring them to his own sense of justice.

In this brilliant analysis of tyranny and brutality, Sarr explores the ways in which resistance and heroism can Marketing & Publicity often give way to cowardice, all while giving voice to • Reading group guide the moral ambiguities and personal struggles involved • Europa Newsletter promotion • Social media promotion, including ecards in each of his characters’ search • E-galleys available on Edelweiss and NetGalley to impose the values they hold most dear. • National media campaign • Specific outreach to translation-focused publications for this award-winning translation, focusing on young African author profiles

A clear-eyed, timely investigation of the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the great risks it poses to democracy.

Philosopher and psychoanalyst Benasayag warns of the great risk posed by the decisional role of big data and algorithms. He explores the relationship between human beings and

EUROPA machines and the impact the digital world has on our society. How do we live, as human COMPASS individuals and human societies, in a world increasingly governed by AI?

What Is Progress Aldo Schiavone Translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein

Today, many believe that progress is a word to be avoided, a relic from a past, the dangerous product of an era of intellectual naivety that is best forgotten. Yet, the idea of progress is rooted in a human impulse that is both profound and essential, a way of interpreting history without which our ability to plan the future, our very identity would be at stake. Written just before the start of the Coronavirus pandemic—which is now putting the book’s thesis to the hardest of tests—this lucid essay explores how science

EUROPA and technology have been, and can still be, a powerful engine for human and humane COMPASS advancement.

“Riveting... A sweeping journey from the deepest roots of our society to the future that awaits it.” —Pulp

Aldo Schiavone is one of Italy’s most renowned historians, whose works have been translated into numerous languages. He has taught Roman Law at the University of Florence and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His previous books include Spartacus (2013) and Pontius Pilate (2017).

26 NEW FROM EUROPA COMPASS An Atlas of Extinct Countries Gideon Defoe

Prisoners of Geography meets Bill Bryson: a funny, fascinating, beautifully illustrated—and timely— history of countries that, for myriad and often ludicrous reasons, no longer exist.

“Countries are just daft stories we tell each other. They’re all equally implausible once you get up close.”

Countries die. Sometimes it’s murder, sometimes it’s by accident, and sometimes it’s because they were so ludicrous they didn’t deserve to exist in the first place. Occasionally they explode violently. A few slip away almost unnoticed. Often the cause of death is either “got too greedy” or “Napoleon turned up.” Now and then they just hold a referendum and vote themselves out of existence.

This is an atlas of 48 nations that fell off the map. The polite way of writing an obituary is: dwell on the good bits, gloss over the embarrassing stuff. This book refuses to do so, because these dead nations are so full of schemers, racists, and con men that it’s impossible to skip the embarrassing stuff.

“As fun and light-hearted as Defoe’s Gideon Defoe is the author of The Pirates! He has writing seems on the surface, written about how animals have sex and penned a computer game tie-in novel for Gollancz. there’s always a comment being made. He does film development work with Locksmith Great fun.”—The Independent Animation and Studio Canal, and is developing a sitcom with BBC studios.

29 The Lying Life of Adults AVAILABLE NOW 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.
