Little Fires Everywhere
0130.00 DH‘Just read it…Outstanding’ Matt Haig
‘To say I love this book is an understatement…It moved me to tears’ Reese Witherspoon
‘Beautifully written, completely charming, and extremely wise on the subject of adolescence and influence’ Nick Hornby
Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend and burned the house down.
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town – and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost…

من قتل أسعد المروري
050.00 DHختفي “أسعد المروري”، الأستاذ بجامعة وهران، والناشط الحقوقي، أربعة أيام، وفي اليوم الخامس تعلن الجهات المختصة عثورها على جثته مقتولاً في مقر الحزب الذي ينتمي إليه. هذا هو الخبر الذي تنطلق منه رواية الحبيب السائح الأخيرة “من قتل أسعد المروري”، ليتحول هذا السؤال إلى قلقٍ يقض مضجع الصحافي “رستم معاود” الذي كان صديقاً للمقتول، فيحاول البحث عن جواب من خلال متابعته لحيثيات القضية واستجلاء ملابساتها.
هكذا، يجد “رستم” نفسه عالقاً في ألغاز ومتاهات لا تنتهي وهو يبحث عن الحقيقة، خاصة أن الشرطة تتكتم على بعض المعلومات، لكنه بمساعدة صهره الذي يعمل مفتشاً في الشرطة القضائية، وبمساعدة “لطيفة” حبيبته التي تعمل طبيبة شرعية وتكون هي من يكشف على الجثة ويشرّحها، يتمكن من الوصول إلى الكثير من الحقائق التي تحاول الجهات الأمنية التكتم عليها، وربما طمسها ومحاولة تزييفها. يفتت “الحبيب السائح” الزمن الحكائي، يرجعنا إلى الخلف بتقنية “الفلاش باك” ليحكي عن اللقاء الأول الذي جمع الراوي “رستم” بالطبيبة الشرعية “لطيفة”، كما يُدخل مشهداً مسرحياً ضمن الحبكة، هو مقتطف من مسرحية كان يمثّل فيها “المروري” وكان قد كتبها الصحافي نفسه وحضر بروفاتها برفقة عشيقته. في هذا المشهد المسرحي هناك الكثير من الإشارات إلى الفساد والرشا والغش الذي يشوب الدولة بكل مؤسساتها، وهي نفسها الأفكار التي كان المقتول يناضل ضدها، وهذا ما جعل الأحزاب والمنظمات الحقوقية والمدنية تعتبر أن قتله ليس مجرد حادثة عادية بل هو اغتيال مدبّر بسبب الأفكار التي يحملها، خاصة أن هذه الجريمة تمت بعد أن قابل الضحية مندوب الأمم المتحدة وتحدث في مؤتمر عن حرية التعبير، وقمع الشرطة السياسية.

التصميم العظيم
0145.00 DHنتساءل حول هذا “التصميم العظيم” للكون. نحدّق باتجاه السماوات الشاسعة ونسأل أنفسنا أسئلة مثل: متى وكيف بدأ الكون؟ كيف يمكننا فهم العالم الذي وَجَدنا أنفسنا فيه؟ كيف حصل كل ذلك؟… تلك كانت أسئلة الفلسفة، وقد صارت اليوم أسئلة العلم. في هذا الكتاب يقدّم ستيفن هوكينج وليونارد مولدينو أحدث الأفكار العلم
يّة عن ألغاز الكون المستمرة، بلغة تتميز بالوضوح والعلمية والبساطة. فيشرحان الاجابات التي فرضتها الاكتشافات والنظريات العلميّة منذ آينشتاين الى فيزياء الكَمّ إلى النظريّة إم. فالصورة الكلاسيكية عن حركة الأجسام لا يمكنها تفسير ما يبدو سلوكاً عجيباً على المستويات الذريّة وما دون الذريّة، فكان ضرورياً وجود إطار مختلف يسمّى فيزياء الكمّ. لكن هذه الفيزياء تقوم على مفاهيم مختلفة جداً عن الواقع كما نفهمه أو نراه.
بحسب نظرية الكم ليس للكون وجود أو تاريخ واحد فقط. وهي فكرة نعادها أننا مجرّد كون من أكوان عديدة لكل منها قوانين طبيعية مختلفة. والنظريّة إم تقدّم تفسيراً للقوانين التي تحكم كوننا، المرشّح الوحيد الموجود “لنظرية كل شيء”، وهي النظرية الموحّدة التي كان يبحث عنها آينشتاين، والتي إن ثبتت، فإنها ستمثّل انجازاً عظيماً للفكر الإنساني . -

The Man Who Created the Middle East : A Story of Empire, Conflict and the Sykes-Picot Agreement
0150.00 DHAt the age of only 36, Sir Mark Sykes was signatory to the Sykes-Picot agreement, one of the most reviled treaties of modern times. A century later, Christopher Sykes’ lively biography of his grandfather reassesses his life and work, and the political instability and violence in the Middle East attributed to it.
The Sykes-Picot agreement was drawn by the eponymous
British and French diplomats in 1916 to determine the divide
of the collapsing empire in the event of an allied victory in
World War I. Excluding Arab involvement, it negated their
earlier guarantee of independence made by the British –
and controversy has raged around it ever since.
But who was Mark Sykes?A century on, Christopher Simon Sykes reveals new facets
of a misremembered diplomatic giant. Using previously
undisclosed family letters and cartoons by his grandfather,
he delivers a comprehensive and humbling account of the man behind one of the most impactful policies in the Middle East. -
