Everyday Mathilde takes the Metro, then the commuter train to the office of a large multi-national where she works in the marketing department. Every day, the same routine, the same trains. But something happened a while ago - she dared to voice a different opinion from her moody boss, Jacques. Bit by bit she finds herself frozen out of everything, with no work to do. Thibault is a paramedic. Every day he drives to the addresses he receives from his controller. The city spares him no grief: traffic jams, elusive parking spaces, delivery trucks blocking his route. He is well aware that he may be the only human being many of the people he visits will see for the entire day and is well acquainted with the symptomatic illnesses, the major disasters, the hustle and bustle and, of course, the immense, pervading loneliness of the city. Before one day in May, Mathilde and Thibault had never met. They were just two anonymous figures in a crowd, pushed and shoved and pressured continuously by the loveless, urban world. Underground Time is a novel of quiet violence - the violence of office-bullying, the violence of the brutality of the city - in which our two characters move towards an inevitable meeting. 'Two solitary existences cross paths in this poignant chronicle, a new testimony to de Vigan's superb eloquence' Lire
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • "An American masterpiece" (NPR) that chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. • The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins. Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share. Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto, coming soon!
Why is the Victoria Line so hot? What is an Electrical Multiple Unit? Is it really possible to ride from King's Cross to King's Cross on the Circle line? The London Underground is the oldest, most sprawling and illogical metropolitan transport system in the world, the result of a series of botch-jobs and improvisations.Yet it transports over one billion passengers every year - and this figure is rising. It is iconic, recognised the world over, and loved and despised by Londoners in equal measure. Blending reportage, humour and personal encounters, Andrew Martin embarks on a wonderfully engaging social history of London's underground railway system (which despite its name, is in fact fifty-five per cent overground). Underground, Overground is a highly enjoyable, witty and informative history of everything you need to know about the Tube.
"Ryn is a brilliant new voice in YA science fiction - this is the sort of story kids gobble up and beg for more..." - International Bestselling Author Jennifer Fallon (Hythrun Chronicles, Second Sons trilogy, Tide Lords series, Rift Runners trilogy) UNDERGROUND: Episode 1 - Lost Beginnings Daniel Rolan is bored. Not your average, everyday kind-of bored. The seriously mind-blowing I'm-stuck-here-at-the-end-of-the-universe-surrounded-by-nerds kind of bored. Living on a space station might sound like an adventure straight out of a science fiction movie, but in reality - as Daniel was discovering day after boring day - it was really, well... mostly boring. But Daniel will soon come to regret wishing for an action and adventure filled life. One seemingly innocent decision - and a catastrophe he could not have foreseen - is about to change his world forever. It will set him on a path he never imagined, introduce him to new friends and even aliens he could not have thought up in his wildest dreams. Eventually it will even challenge his notion of where the end of the universe actually is. Meanwhile, on the alien world of Nomassaii, the larger of the two planets through the Veil, Jacdan would love a bit of boredom. He has far more action and adventure in his life than he'd like. Sentenced to die in the arena, he's fighting - battle by battle - to survive another day. But it's one thing to fight for your own life - quite another to discover you are fighting for your little brother's life, as well. These alien worlds are about to collide, changing the lives of Daniel and Jacdan forever. UNDERGROUND: Episode 2 - The Fosterling Daniel and his friends, Sari and Jorge, continue their action-filled adventure. Both scared and full of wonder, they are beginning to find their way around the strange, fabulous, alien underground city of Abstrunde. It sounds like an adventure, but Daniel and his friends soon discover not speaking the alien's language is a trap waiting to be filled with all kinds of trouble. Learning how to write an alien language is no fun either, but they need to learn everything they can, in order to survive this strange new world. Some things though, are just the same. As Daniel, Sari and Jorge soon discover, alien bullies aren't much different from human ones, either. Meanwhile on Nomassaii, Jacdan is trapped and now sentenced to die without redemption and his brother has been struck down by plague. Just when it seems his life is as dark as it can get, he meets the one person he'd want to live for. Filled with despair, Jacdan doesn't know there are others in the universe working to change the cruel inequalities of his warrior world. But will they watch and wait or save Jacdan from certain death? UNDERGROUND: Episode 3 - The Sentinels Daniel's alien foster family are wonderful, but he can't stop wondering about his own family. Do they think he's dead? Have they stopped looking for him? And if he ever found them again, how would he even begin to explain the adventure he'd been on? Searching for answers, Daniel's journey through the alien underground world of Abstrunde brings him to attentions of the Sentinels for the first time, and the mystery of this alien world deepens. Meanwhile, Jacdan's fate has been sealed. He is flown to the satellite planet to be sacrificed, completely unaware of the watchers in the Sentinels. Will anything save Jacdan from certain death on this terrible, alien planet?
Several thousand people travel on the London underground daily where life is fully representative of the cosmopolitan nature and the diversity of everyday London. In Tales of the Underground, author Olayemi Karim offers a guide to help people understand the nuances and the cultural peculiarities of traveling in the city. Olayemi, who commutes daily to the city for her job, began documenting the interesting experiences of her travels on the rails on both her Facebook page and blog. She records the unspoken rules and the expected behaviors in the London transportation network, for instance, the strange look returned by commuters, when caught staring. She also explains a number of common sights and things observed on the Underground as well as unusual and often humorous situations. Tales of the Underground gives a fly-on-the-wall narrative of seemingly innocuous and unconnected events which, when pieced together, offers an understanding of both the travelers and the flavors of London.

Even forty years after the civil rights movement, the transition from son and grandson of Klansmen to field secretary of SNCC seems quite a journey. In the early 1960s, when Bob Zellner’s professors and classmates at a small church school in Alabama thought he was crazy for even wanting to do research on civil rights, it was nothing short of remarkable. Now, in his long-awaited memoir, Zellner tells how one white Alabamian joined ranks with the black students who were sitting-in, marching, fighting, and sometimes dying to challenge the Southern “way of life” he had been raised on but rejected. Decades later, he is still protesting on behalf of social change and equal rights. Fortunately, he took the time, with co-author Constance Curry, to write down his memories and reflections. He was in all the campaigns and was close to all the major figures. He was beaten, arrested, and reviled by some but admired and revered by others. The Wrong Side of Murder Creek, winner of the 2009 Lillian Smith Book Award, is Bob Zellner’s larger-than-life story, and it was worth waiting for.
A fantasy on an underground world run by robots under the control of an immortal engineer. The world is discovered by a writer when she takes a wrong turn in the San Francisco subway and emerges in the London Underground subway.
A bewitching memoir about the lures, torments, and rewards of making and performing music in the indie rock world Dean Wareham's seminal bands Galaxie 500 and Luna have long been adored by a devoted cult following and extolled by rock critics. Now he brings us the blunt, heartbreaking, and wickedly charismatic account of his personal journey through the music world-the artistry and the hustle, the effortless success and the high living, as well as the bitter pills and self-inflicted wounds. It captures, unsparingly, what has happened to the entire ecosystem of popular music over a time of radical change, when categories such as "indie" and "alternative" meant nothing to those creating the music, but everything to the major labels willing to pay for it. Black Postcards is a must-have for Wareham's many fans, anyone who has ever been in a band, or the listeners who have taken an interest in the indie rock scene over the last twenty years.
