Life is a lucrative business, as long as you play by the rules.',[Joanne] Ramos's debut novel couldn't be more relevant or timely.'O: The Oprah Magazine (25 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2019)Nestled in New York's Hudson Valley is a luxury retreat boasting every amenity: organic meals, personal fitness trainers, daily massagesand all of it for free. In fact, you're paid big money to stay heremore than you've ever dreamed of. The catch?

But now pregnant, fragile, consumed with worry for her family, Jane is determined to reconnect with her life outside. Yet she cannot leave the Farm or she will lose the life-changing fee she'll receive on the delivery of her child.Gripping, provocative, heartbreaking, The Farm pushes to the extremes our thinking on motherhood, money, and merit and raises crucial questions about the trade-offs women will make to fortify their futures and the futures of those they love.Advance praise for The Farm',This topical, provocative debut anatomizes class, race and the American dream.'The Guardian, ',What You'll Be Reading This Year'',Wow, Joanne Ramos has written the page-turner about immigrants chasing what's left of the American dream.. . .Truly unforgettable.'Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story and Lake Success',A highly original and provocative story about the impossible choices in so many women's lives.

Sto rokov samoty
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný. Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka Macondo.
