        by Syamirulah Rahim, Zul Azlin, Onn Azli, SN Amran, Fahd Razy, Ahmad Zakimi, Mahyuddin Mohamed, Kamarul Ariffin, Ainul Arina, Rozanizam Zakaria, Khairil Idham Ismail, Rosmawati Hamzah, Norhasidah Abd Razak, Rashdan Mohamed, Noor Hayati Yasmin, Aliyya Ahmad, Adibah Abdullah, Khairy Malik, Hana Hadzrami, Bel Nawhen

        Memory is a double-edged sword that is both a blessing and a curse.   In the halls of a hospital, echoes of human suffering and triumph ring loudest, imprinting indelible marks upon the minds of its workers. Some memories are sweet, a blissful balm to recall; others knives-sharp, wounding the soul.   Death and life, pain and healing, laughter and tears - however we choose to remember them, they remain forever unforgettable.   20 cases, 20 writers.   Regardless of whether we are healthcare workers or patients, our humanity ultimately remains the same.   Just one more case - that unforgettable one.

        Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty

        Affirmations for the Real World

        by Hana Shafi

        Let’s get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You’re not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that’s not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about.   Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty—built around art from Shafi’s popular online affirmation series—focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it’s hard to do so. Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship, and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive.   So no, this is not an advice book: it’s a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we are—flaws and all—and to not let the bastards grind us down.

        Hana

        by Alena Mornštajnová

        If there’s one thing that brings home the trueness of human life, it’s suffering. And if there’s one thing that degrades life, it’s the suffering someone causes others. But what if this someone is innocent? What if it’s all an accident? It’s 1954 and nine‑year‑old Mira goes to the river to ride the floating ice, something her parents have forbidden her to do. She falls into the water, so exposing her disobedience. As a punishment, she is given no dessert at a family party. This innocent childhood episode marks a major turning point in Mira’s life. It is followed by a tragedy that for many years binds her to her taciturn, depressive aunt Hana and reveals a troubled family history that will continue to float like a block of ice in the current of her life. Alena Mornštajnová’s story, which is based on real events, is told at such pace and with such drama that the reader might be watching a gripping movie. The big question is, will the fateful ice finally melt?   Awards: Czech Book Award 2017 (both the main prize and the Students' award), Databáze knih Award (Book of the Year 2017 and New Book of 2017)

        AWAKENING THE SACRED LOVE OF THE OF THE TWIN FLAME

        by Shanna MacLean

        Each of us has a Twin Flame, the exact being with whom we were created at the thrilling Moment of Creation, when God expanded Itself and created from that Self a new being. God then divided that being into Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine. This template of masculine and feminine can be seen throughout all Earth life. The expansion from the ALL THAT IS came from God's strong desire to extend Love through its Creations (on Earth, for example) and have a way to know and observe Itself by living through us. This Twin is the other half of yourself, with whom you share the most exquisite Love and Oneness possible -- which you will know when you unite with that divine one... AWAKENING opens with a series of transcendent experiences in which the author, Shanna, makes contact with her Twin Flame during her meditations. Her unique and intimate sharing of their meetings and travels shows us many facets of this supreme Love. Pra, her Twin, is not in physical embodiment on Earth, but rather resides in higher vibrational consciousness. They meet somewhere between Earth and the Higher Realms. In the second section, we are led through a series of powerful excerpts of "Messages from God," channeled by Yael Hana Powell, in which the essence and purpose of the Twin Flame is explained. We are told that the coming together of Twin Flames at this time can create an amplification of Love that can completely shift life on our struggling planet to Love and only Love. In the third section, Shanna's beloved Twin Flame, Pra, answers questions, giving detailed suggestions on how to make contact with one's Twin, including bringing your Twin through the person you are currently with. The other-worldliness and loving atmosphere of this book will uplift you and perhaps open you to the possibility of finding Love with your own Twin Flame, the other half of your being.

        The chimera of the vanquished

        by Luis Urios

        "The shoemaker's bell rang again". An old shoemaker who lost everything and had to learn to naturalise misfortune. A tyranny that has ravaged the region relentlessly for decades. Murders, disappearances, torture and a perceptive young man who works in one of the Regime's factories and has never known freedom. An organisation of insurgents fighting oppression from the shadows. Two intertwined destinies. A life in which everything was lost. Another in which nothing was ever had. A struggle to achieve freedom. The chimera of the vanquished (La quimera de los vencidos) is about the loss of what is dearest to you, about finding a ray of light in the darkness, about hope, about structural injustice and about the desire for a better world.

        Run With the Wind

        by SHION Miura

        A few days before the start of a new academic year at Kansei University in Western Tokyo, former high school track and field star Kakeru is running away from a shopkeeper after stealing some bread. Fourth-year student Haiji immediately notices Kakeru’s speed and races after him on his bike. When Kakeru says he gambled all his money away before the start of term, Haiji tells Kakeru that he’s living in an old dormitory "Chikusei-so" near campus that is very cheap. They have a spare room if Kakeru is interested. After introducing Kakeru to the other eight residents, Haiji declares his grand plan: for the 10 of them to compete in the legendary Hakone Ekiden relay marathon.         Held each January, the Hakone Ekiden is a relay race spanning two days where teams of 10 university students run from Tokyo to the mountain town of Hakone and back again, spanning a total distance of over 200 km. The race is broadcast on Nippon Television and is extremely competitive, with each university putting forward its best team. When Haiji suggests that the 10 residents of Chikusei-so form a team to compete at the Hakone Ekiden it seems like a pipe dream.         Haiji and Kakeru are the only two members of the team with extensive running experience and the other residents are incredibly reluctant about Haiji’s plan. However, with about ten months left to train, Haiji manages to get each of them on board. Takashi, an honour student from a small mountain village, is the easiest to convince. Identical twins Joji and Jota sign up when Haiji tells them it’ll help them attract girls. Musa, an international student from Tanzania, agrees partly because he’s inspired by Takashi. Among the most reluctant residents are law student Yuki, heavy smoker Nico, and trivia lover ‘KING’. Nico ran in high school and hopes running will help him overcome his smoking addiction, while KING hopes competing in the Hakone Ekiden will make him stand out to employers after months of unsuccessful job hunting. Lastly, there is Prince, a manga enthusiast with almost zero physical stamina whose room is stuffed to the brim with books.         While officially the dormitory landlord is their coach, it is Haiji who gets to know each team member’s needs and strengths before making a tailored training programme. Over the gruelling six months that follow, Haiji leads the team through the highs and lows of training and competitions as their race times steadily improve and they become a close-knit group both on and off the track. Prince’s times are still much slower than everyone else’s but Takashi gets him a treadmill so he can read manga while he runs. Nico makes wire figurines to keep his hands occupied after giving up smoking and Yuki starts selling them to raise money for the team’s training trip to the mountains. Haiji helps Kakeru overcome his disillusionment with competitive racing and find meaning in running with others, while Kakeru’s talent and support inspire Haiji to persevere despite his knee injury. Thanks to a combination of Kakeru’s exceptional speed, Haiji’s determination and the whole team’s diligent training, they miraculously qualify for the Hakone Ekiden. During the race, each of them overcomes their own mental and physical demons, Kakeru sets a new record and Haiji pushes through his injury, putting the team in 10th place and guaranteeing them a position in next year’s race.     Story background Hakone Ekiden (箱根駅伝), which is officially called the Tokyo-Hakone Round- Trip College Ekiden Race (東京箱根間往復大学駅伝競走), is one of the most prominent university ekiden (relay marathon) races of the year held between Tokyo and Hakone on January 2 and 3. This two-day race from Ōtemachi to Hakone and back is separated into five sections on each day. Due to slight variations in the courses, the first day distance is 108.0 km while the distance on the second day is 109.9 km. It has been held since 1920, stopped during WII and started again in 1947.
