Celebrating Cory: 1933 - 2009

2009-08-06T00:48:25Z

In the Name of Democracy and Prayer: Selected Speeches of Corazon Aquino
P280.00

Corazon C. Aquino as President of the Republic of the Philippines (1986-1992), restored democracy and after re-establishing all the democratic institutions, she made them work fully so as to bring about substantive economic and social reforms. She presided over the difficult transition from a dictatorship to a democracy, but by her courage she was able to cap her term successfully with a peaceful transfer of power to her successor, President Fidel V. Ramos, after a clean and fair presidential election.

Cory Aquino was widowed of Sen. Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. who became a martyr for democracy on August 21, 1983 when he was assassinated at the Manila International Airport. Sen. Aquino was the leader of the Opposition at the time of his martyrdom. He had been jailed upon the declaration of the martial law in 1972. His incarceration lasted seven years and seven months. He was given temporary freedom only because he had to undergo heart surgery in the United States.

Cory: An Intimate Portrait
Edited by Margie Penson-Juico
PhP195.00

Cory: An Intimate Portrait is about Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino in various facets of her life: President Aquino on formal occasions; President Cory to those who prefer to be informal, at the same time wishing to show respect for both her and the office she held and continues to represent; Auntie Cory to biological relatives and Tita Cory to those simply fond of, and deferential to, her; Lola Cory to her grandchildren; and simply Cory to old friends.

The book’s strength and charm lie in its very form: firsthand stories by friends of President Cory’s for many years, by men and women who served in government, and by others whose lives she touched in countless ways.

These stories have been put together in this collection by an extraordinary person, herself one given the honor and privilege to work very closely with Mrs. Aquino from the day she became president—swept into Malacañang in February 1986 by a bloodless revolt now known to the world as People Power—to this day.

Blue Moon
Alyson Noel
P479.00

Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him. As Ever’s powers are increasing, Damen’s are fading—stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life.

Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, uncovering not only the secrets of Damen’s past—the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden—but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day...

Twenties Girl
Sophie Kinsella
P685.00

Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don't get visited by ghosts. Or do they?

When the spirit of Lara's great-aunt Sadie—a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance-mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie's possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she's just been dumped by the "perfect" man.

Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and as the mission to find Sadie's necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different "twenties" girls learn some surprising truths from each other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella's books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.

LUSH LIFE

Richard Price

P675

Lush Life is a tale of two Lower East Sides: one a high-priced bohemia, the other a home to hardship, its residents pushed to the edges of their time-honored turf. When a cocky young hipster is shot to death by a street kid from the "other" lower east side, the crime ripples through every stratum of the city in this brilliant and kaleidoscopic portrait of the "new" New York.

American Wife

Curtis Sittenfeld

P629

A kind, bookish only child born in the 1940s, Alice Lindgren has no idea that she will one day end up in the White House, married to the president. In her small Wisconsin hometown, she learns the virtues of politeness, but a tragic accident when she is seventeen shatters her identity and changes the trajectory of her life. More than a decade later, when the charismatic son of a powerful Republican family sweeps her off her feet, she is surprised to find herself admitted into a world of privilege. And when her husband unexpectedly becomes governor and then president, she discovers that she is married to a man she both loves and fundamentally disagrees with–and that her private beliefs increasingly run against her public persona. As her husband’s presidency enters its second term, Alice must confront contradictions years in the making and face questions nearly impossible to answer.

The Gatecrasher

Madeleine Wickham

P669

Take a wild and marvelous ride with The Gatecrasher, whose clever, chic, and sassy style will leave you desperately wanting more wonderful Wickham! Everything’s coming up roses for Fleur Daxeny, as she goes through more rich men than she does designer hats.

Fleur is not one to wear her heart on her Chanel sleeves, but she soon finds herself embracing Richard and his family. But just as Fleur contemplates jumping off the gold-digger train for good, a long-buried secret from her past threatens to destroy her new family.

SPOILED

Caitlyn Macy

P1009

Now, in Caitlyn Macy’s sophisticated and provocative story collection Spoiled, she turns her unsparing eye on affluent and educated women who nevertheless struggle to keep their footing in their relationships and life. Macy's voice is as straightforward as it is original in these stories, and her characters deftly nuanced. Full of surprising, sometimes shocking insights and simmering with outrage, compassion, and humor, Spoiled is a remarkable collection from a boldly talented writer.

The Girl Who Played With Fire

Stieg Larsson

P499

The electrifying follow-up to the phenomenal best seller The Girl with the Dragon and this time it is Lisbeth Salander, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker, who is the focus and fierce heart of the story. Mikael Blomkvist has decided to publish a story exposing an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government. On the eve of publication, the two reporters responsible for the story are brutally murdered. But perhaps more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander. Now, as Blomkvist—alone in his belief in her innocence—plunges into his own investigation of the slayings, Salander is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.

In One Fifth Avenue, Bushnell tells the intertwined stories of five women at one swanky Manhattan address.

And within its gorgeous, thick, pre-war walls, fortunes fall and rise in the early days of the new millennium. As in her previous novels, Bushnell turns a gimlet eye on the social and sexual politics of elite New Yorkers and taps uncannily into the zeitgeist of our changing times.

Evermore
Alyson Noël
P479.00

This opening book in a new series, The Immortals, will thrill many teen
fantasy-suspense readers, especially fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight
series. Seventeen-year-old Ever survived the car crash that killed her
parents, younger sister, and their dog. Now she lives with an aunt in
Southern California, plagued not only by survivor guilt but also by a new
ability to hear the thoughts of all around her. She tries to tune out all
these distractions by keeping her hoodie up and her iPod cranked loud, until
Damen, the cute new boy at school, convinces her to come out of her shell.
Damen, however, is frighteningly clever—and has the strange ability to
produce tulips from nowhere and disappear himself at critical moments. Noël
creates a cast of recognizably diverse teens in a realistic high-school
setting, along with just the right tension to make Ever’s discovery of her
own immortality—should she choose it—exciting and credible.

My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro

Jeffrey Eugenides
P669.00

"When it comes to love, there are a million theories to explain it. But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can never be about full possession. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name . . . .

It is perhaps only in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer."—Jeffrey Eugenides, from the introduction to My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead

All proceeds from My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead will go directly to fund the free youth writing programs offered by 826 Chicago. 826 Chicago is part of the network of seven writing centers across the United States affiliated with 826 National, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

Lavender Morning
Jude Deveraux
P599.00

Jocelyn Minton is a woman torn between two worlds. Her mother grew up attending private schools and afternoon teas, but she married the local handyman. After her mother died when Joce was only five years old, her father remarried into his own class, and Joce became an outsider—until she met Edilean Harcourt. Although she was sixty years Joce’s senior, Miss Edi was a kindred soul and understood her like no one else ever had.

When Edilean passes away, she leaves Joce all her worldly possessions, including an eighteenth-century house and a letter with clues to a mystery that began in 1941. In the letter, Miss Edi also mentions that she has found the perfect man for Joce—a handsome young lawyer. Joce is shocked to learn that the mystery, the house, and the future love of her life are all in Edilean, a small town in Virginia that Miss Edi never told her about. Hurt that the woman who meant so much to her kept so many secrets, Jocelyn moves to this tight-knit village in an attempt to understand the legacy that has been left to her. As she begins to dig into Miss Edi’s mystery, she soon discovers some shocking surprises about her family’s history and her own future—and she meets a man with his own mysterious past.

He found the body on the forty-third day of his walk…

Devastated by the senseless murder of his wife, Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley retreated to Cornwall, where he has spent six solitary weeks hiking the bleak and rugged coastline. But no matter how far he walks, the painful memories do not diminish.

Then, at the base of a cliff near a town better known for its surfing than its intrigue, Lynley discovers the body of a young man who has fallen to his death. First a witness, then a suspect when the hand of a killer is revealed, Lynley remains, above all, a policeman willing to aid the gruff head of an understaffed local constabulary in her investigation. But the secrets in this community run dark and deep—and Lynley must somehow find a way to let go of the past long enough to solve a most devious and dreadful crime.

When You Are Engulfed In Flames

David Sedaris

P355.00

David Sedaris’s remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this new book of essays.

Sedaris proceeds from the bizarre conundrums of daily life—the proper etiquette to follow when a lozenge falls from your mouth into the lap of a fellow airplane passenger or how to use LP covers to soundproof your windows against neurotic songbirds—to the most deeply resonant human truths. Taking in the parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law’s leg, an encounter with a dingo, and the purchase of a human skeleton, and culminating in a brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking—in Tokyo—David Sedaris’s sixth collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic writing.

Spanning medieval Germany, Japan, Iceland, and beyond, The Gargoyle is a mesmerizing novel of death, history, obsession, and faith.
