Rutledge, an aging, divorced man, has treated himself to a Cruise on the Mariola. The Cruise is not just any…
cruise. It’s the whole shebang. It's around the world. It’s a lifestyle change: G & Ts and tuxedos and cigars and cognac galore. The service is top-rate. And Rutledge’s steward, Raoul, is a good kid. But then a day trip to a Caribbean port ends in commotion. Some people don’t make it back onto the ship. Rutledge, nonplussed, makes use of the vacant machines in the Fitness Room and the unoccupied loungers on deck. But soon, crew members seem few and far between, and the menu in the Captain’s Mess significantly diminished. Rutledge gets the feeling that something is amiss. And that’s just unacceptable. Welcome aboard Esme Keith’s debut dystopic novel, a cunning parody of modern day luxury and the coveted all-inclusive vacation, from the refreshingly blunt point of view of a man unable to see beyond his own needs, with hilarious results.

Seamos sinceros. Alrededor del setenta y cinco por ciento del mundo está cubierto de agua, y de esa agua, casi…
el noventa y siete por ciento se puede encontrar en el mar. Los maritimers le dirán que hay una historia para cada ola que se haya lavado en la costa. Aquí hay siete de ellos. La primera historia, En lo oscuro, en lo profundo ofrece un hilo muy inquietante del deber de convoy de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y un marinero que hizo y mantuvo un trato terrible. La sirena de Harry te presenta a un grupo de hombres sin hogar que atrapan algo que PUEDE ser una sirena. Si eso no te dice lo suficiente sobre esta historia, trata de imaginar cómo se leería la FILA DE LA CINTA de Steinbeck si hubiera sido escrita por HP Lovecraft. Sé por qué el sabor de las aguas del mar es una historia de un piloto suicida de la Fuerza Aérea japonesa con sede en Okinawa y su encuentro con un monstruo marino. La historia de Finbar es un oscuro cuento de fantasía de las corrientes más profundas que se arremolina y fluye dentro de las profundas y silenciosas corrientes del frío corazón de un hombre. La mujer que perdió el diente de reír demasiado fuerte en el mar es una pequeña y tranquila fábula de agua salada, lágrimas y pesar. Entre tú sabes quién y el profundo azul oscuro es la historia de la última negociación en la tierra. Esta colección comienza con una ganga y termina con una ganga, que me suena como una ganga.

A New York Times Notable Book " Sea Wife is a gripping tale of survival at sea—but that&’s just the…
beginning. Amity Gaige also manages, before she&’s done, to probe the underpinnings of romantic love, marriage, literary ambition, political inclinations in the Trump age, parenthood, and finally, the nature of survival itself in our broken world. Gaige is thrillingly talented, and her novel enchants." —Jennifer Egan &“Sea Wife brilliantly breathes life not only into the perils of living at sea, but also into the fraught and hidden dangers of domesticity, motherhood, and marriage. What a smart, swift, and thrilling novel.&” —Lauren Groff From the highly acclaimed author of Schroder , a smart, sophisticated page literary page-turner about a young family who escape suburbia for a yearlong sailing trip that upends all of their lives. Juliet is failing to juggle motherhood and her stalled-out dissertation on confessional poetry when her husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a sailboat. With their two kids—Sybil, age seven, and George, age two—Juliet and Michael set off for Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat awaits them. The initial result is transformative; the marriage is given a gust of energy, Juliet emerges from her depression, and the children quickly embrace the joys of being feral children at sea. Despite the stresses of being novice sailors, the family learns to crew the boat together on the ever-changing sea. The vast horizons and isolated islands offer Juliet and Michael reprieve – until they are tested by the unforeseen. Sea Wife is told in gripping dual perspectives: Juliet&’s first person narration, after the journey, as she struggles to come to terms with the life-changing events that unfolded at sea, and Michael&’s captain&’s log, which provides a riveting, slow-motion account of these same inexorable events, a dialogue that reveals the fault lines created by personal history and political divisions. Sea Wife is a transporting novel about marriage, family and love in a time of unprecedented turmoil. It is unforgettable in its power and astonishingly perceptive in its portrayal of optimism, disillusionment, and survival

se trouvent dans la mer. Les habitants de provinces maritimes vous diront que c’est une histoire pour chaque vague qui s'est jamais échoué sur le rivage. Ici sont sept d’entre eux. «Dans l’Obscurité et les Profondeurs», offre un récit très obsédant du devoir de convoi de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et d'un marin qui a fait et tenu une terrible affaire. «La Sirène d’Harry», vous présente un groupe des hommes sans abri qui ont attrapé quelque chose qui Pourrait être une sirène. Si cela ne vous en dit pas assez sur cette histoire, essayez d'imaginer ce que serait le CANNERY ROW de Steinbeck lirait s'il avait été écrit par HP Lovecraft. «Je sais Pourquoi les Eaux de la Mer ont le Goût du Sel,» est l'histoire d'un pilote suicide de l'armée de l'air japonaise basé à Okinawa et de sa rencontre avec un monstre marin - en quelque sorte. «L’Histoire de Finbar» est un sombre conte fantastique sur les courants profonds qui tourbillonnent et coulent à l'intérieur des courants calmes et profonds du cœur froid d'un homme. «La femme qui a perdu sa dent parce qu'elle riait trop fort de la mer», est une petite fable tranquille d'eau salée, de larmes et de regrets. «Entre Vous Savez Qui et le Bleu Foncé Profond» est l'histoire du dernier marché sur terre. Cette collection commence par une bonne affaire et se termine par une bonne affaire - ce qui me semble être une sacrée bonne affaire.

From the acclaimed author of The Winter Family, a swash-buckling adventure from piracy's Golden Age and a deft political allegory…
for our troubled times. Treasure Island meets Lord of the Flies.In 1721, when the most notorious pirates are either dead or on the run, Jimmy Kavanagh, who sailed with Blackbeard, decides to pull together a "Company of Gentleman of Fortune" for one last "Adventuring Cruise" that will set them all up for life. All begins well: the pirates sail across the Atlantic and sack Cape Coast Castle, looting it of chests of gold ill-gotten from the slave trade. But before Kavanagh can lead them on, he sickens, unleashing a drastic series of power struggles among the company. As further victories transform them from the hunters to the hunted, the pirates descend into mutiny, show trials, assassination and tyranny as they flee from their pursuers and struggle against the seas. Full of epic sea battles and storms, peopled with characters worthy of Mutiny on the Bounty, Jackman's pirate voyage is also an object lesson in how political systems degrade as the pirates, who set out as a band of brothers, are powerless to prevent the erosion of the norms and values that hold their Company together. Where they end will shock you. But given our own times, it might not surprise you.
