    206,-

    Anthology of poems by forty new Scottish poets. A generation of poets has emerged who have grown up in an age of change, political and technological, with the internet providing them not only with new ways of sharing writing - through their websites, podcasts, Twitter - but also in some cases with a subject too.

  • av Anne Pia
    176,-

    Anne Pia's responses to Baudelaire's poetry are emotional, intellectual and linguistic. Given her profound love for France's language and culture, Pia set herself the challenge of recreating some of this powerful mix in our English language. She succeeded in this and draws the reader into the intimacy of her own intellectual and artistic journey.

  • av Jidi Majia
    170,-

    Translations of Majia's poems from Chinese and Nuoso (his minority language) into Scots and English. A symmetry of powerful and lesser-used language.

  • av Magnus Florin
    145,-

    In a large family business the elder brother cuts out a dictatorial role for himself, creating a claustrophobic tension that can be resolved by only one thing: death. Skilfully pared down, this novel is evocative of so many incongruities in human relationships.

  • av Corrado Alvaro
    246,-

    Anti-Soviet dystopia first published in 1938, after the author had been travelling in Russia during the period of the show trials. Published a decade before Orwell's 1984, it deals with the political use of fear and the millenarianism that underlay secular politics of the time.

  • av David Widgery
    276,-

    Against Miserabilism is a love letter, out of the past, to a new generation of radicals. It's a collection of articles by David Widgery, who, in addition to working as a full-time medical doctor in London's East End, wrote prolifically on matters of political and cultural importance from the 1960s till the time of his death in 1992.

  • av Helen Lamb

  • av Heather Richardson
    236,-

    This disturbing story of sex, drugs and blasphemy in late seventeenth-century Edinburgh - and of life and ideas in a repressive state that belongs to our past, speaks to our times about how the human spirit remains curious even when curiosity is dangerous and imposes silence even between those who are close.

  • av Magnus Florin
    166,-

    The Garden is about Carl Linnaeus, a leading figure in the Swedish Enlightenment, famous for his taxonomy - a classification of animals and plants that is still used in modern biology. Linnaeus perceives things through his desire to categorise and therefore in relation to other things. His gardener perceives things for what they are in themselves - and for their beauty or usefulness. They often find themselves in dialogue, but rarely understand each other. We observe Linnaeus alone in thought, or teaching and conversing with his students, or tending to his poorly siblings. Florin draws us into these impressionistic fragments with brave, colourful prose. The Garden blossoms into a work of imagination and intrigue, unafraid to question the shape of our world and the roots of existence. This strange, ambitious novel is the first English translation of Magnus Florin's work; it became a bestseller in his native Sweden.

  • av Various Authors

    A novel from one of Latvia's leading writers of the late twentieth century, Nakedness explores the varying shades of truth through the lens of a mystery: a young man arrives in a small town searching for the woman with whom he's been exchanging love letters, only to learn that she's not who he thinks she is.

  • av Iain Morrison
    176,-

    In this collection Emily Dickinson rubs shoulders with drag queens; 19th C German composers are as likely to be referenced as dating apps. Morrison balances punchy short poems with longer works that explore ways in which sex, class, technology and religion intertwine in contemporary Britain.

  • av Paul Stewart, Tommy McKearney, Brian Garvey, m.fl.
    276,-

    Until the Stormont Assembly collapsed in 2017, Northern Ireland had often been promoted in mainstream media as a newly prosperous, modern, post-conflict society. Written to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, this book argues that the seeds of recent problems were sown back in 1998 when the agreement was signed.

  • av Stewart Ennis
    176,-

    Joseph Kirkland, who is being brought up in a strict religious community, is torn between his beliefs and his non-religious friends and his own doubts. This witty and acutely observed novel does not take sides but reveals how humanity usually wins out where different world views coexist.

  • av Gerry Loose
    176,-

    Loose's seventh full collection night exposures lives right into its title: shining light into murky and overlooked corners which some might wish to be kept in the dark.

  • av Vicki Husband
    176,-

    The universe has never been depicted so intimately, nor the mundane so infused with stellar significance as it is in the poetry of Vicki Husband. This debut collection is as inspired by quantum physics as it is by domestic drama. A lively and original collection.

  • av Thomas Mitchell
    160,-

    Six essays on how to live a good life written by an Aberdeenshire farmer in 1913. A measured view of life as it was on the eve of the First World War, and a plea to take responsibility for others in society. Published for the first time.

  • av Allan Cameron
    176,-

    A miscellaneous work consisting of three sections: aphorisms, essays and poetry. It deals with Scottish independence, the arts, religion, class in modern Britain, and host of other issues. Some overlap between the subject matter in the three sections, so the different approaches produce slightly different understandings.
