The overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi has been one of the twenty-first century's defining moments: the Arab world's most bizarre dictator brought down by his own people with the aid of NATO aircraft. Lindsey Hilsum was in Libya when Gaddafi met his squalid end. She traces the history of his strange regime from its beginnings - when Gaddafi had looks, charisma and popular appeal - to its paranoid, corrupt final state. At the heart of her book, however, is a brilliant narrative of Libyan people overcoming fear and disillusionment and finding the strength to rebel. Hilsum follows five of them through the terror and tragedy. \n\nThis is the story of modern Libyan as it was lived, from the excesses of dictatorship to violent revolution. Sandstorm will take its place in a library of classic books about turning points of history.

'An excellent anthology' Times Literary Supplement\n'Remarkable: combines her exceptional experience as a war correspondent with selected poetry in an act of witness' ANDREW MOTION\n\nI was standing outside an apartment block that had been split apart by a missile.

Alongside each, she recalls a memory from her own work, whether interviewing the warlords of Bosnia, meeting child soldiers in Uganda or giving testimony in Rwanda. Her prose reveals comic absurdity and astonishing courage, meaning and its absence, unexpected moments of love and the untold consequences that come long after most cameras disperse. She explores the pity of war – and its fatal attraction.\n\n'Profound, revelatory, distressing and timely' CAROL ANN DUFFY\n'Fantastic, beguiling and movingly profound' WILLIAM BOYD\n'Brings us darkness and light in the most moving, magical way' CHRISTINA LAMB

The Obscene Madame D is the electrifying masterpiece by one of modern Brazilian literature's most significant and controversial writers.\n\nAt sixty years old, Hillé decides to abandon conventional life and devote the rest of her days to contemplation in a recess under the stairs. There, she is haunted by her perplexed, recently deceased lover, Ehud, who cannot understand her rejection of common sense, sex and a simple life in favour of vain metaphysical speculations.\n\nIn a stream-of-consciousness monologue, Hillé speaks of her search for spiritual fulfilment from a space of dereliction. In thrilling prose that is part Joyce, part Lispector and part de Sade, Hilda Hilst takes us into the disorder and beauty of a mind restlessly testing its own limits.

Al centro del romanzo c’è Hillé – la signora D – una donna che, dopo la morte del marito Ehud, sceglie di ritirarsi a vivere in un sottoscala. Lì si mette a nudo per dar voce a un monologo teso, abissale e lirico insieme. Tra bestemmia e invocazione, memoria e desiderio, Hillé affronta i grandi temi esistenziali dell’assenza e della corporeità in una continua ricerca dell’inattingibile. Il testo, ibrido e sperimentale, alterna prosa, poesia, flusso di coscienza e dialoghi interiori, nello sforzo di raggiungere il reale di una donna il cui corpo è reso quasi disincarnato da un eccesso di domande che non arretrano davanti all’assoluto e in cui le parole tradiscono un’esperienza di voluttà. Con il suo linguaggio potente e densissimo, Hilst mette in scena una discesa negli abissi dell’anima e un confronto senza filtri con le molte maschere di un osceno inteso come ciò che resta fuori dal dicibile, al margine del mondo e del sacro.
