Beschreibung
'Elegant ... calm and generous' Mary Beard, Guardian
The must-read, pocket-sized Big Think book of 2020
One of the Guardian's 'Best Books to Inspire Compassion'
One of Independent's Books of the Month
A Cosmopolitan 'Revolutionary Read'
Ours is the age of contagious anxiety. We feel overwhelmed by the events around us, by injustice, by suffering, by an endless feeling of crisis. So, how can we nurture the parts of ourselves that hope, trust and believe in something better? And how can we stay sane in this age of division?
In this powerful, uplifting plea for conscious optimism, Booker Prize-nominated novelist and activist Elif Shafak draws on her own memories and delves into the power of stories to bring us together. In the process, she reveals how listening to each other can nurture democracy, empathy and our faith in a kinder and wiser future.
Rezensionen
<p><b>PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS: </b><br>'Expect vibrant, vivid and eye-opening descriptions of Middle Eastern life propelled by a tender storyline, all in Shafak's haunting, beautiful and considered prose'
Fortifying and optimistic
A vivid carnival of life and death, cruelty and kindness, love, politics and deep humanity. Brilliant!
A calmly rational response to extraordinary circumstances ... there is comfort in having a voice like Shafak'
Incredibly sensuous and poetic and evocative
Sharp and elegant ... I did find myself hoping that Facebook and Like (or whatever they are now called) might one day come across this little book - and thinking that its calm and generous view of the world might give them back some part of the optimism that had greeted their arrival.
