Formed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music. Now, Miki Berenyi tells all.
From the bohemian ways of her father's social circle to the privileged glamour of her mother's acting career, Miki's young life was a blur of travel, celebrities and peripatetic schooling. But frequent relocation, parental neglect and the dark presence of her abusive grandmother resulted in crippling shyness, mental-health issues and a vulnerability to exploitation.
The route out of this hole was music - a passion shared by schoolmate Emma Anderson. The teenagers began attending gigs together and would ultimately go on to form Lush. Talented and exuberant, the band became hot property, swiftly transitioning from shoegaze icons to Britpop darlings.
Re-living the tours, recording sessions and music-industry madness they experienced along the way, this uncompromising memoir documents Lush's thrilling rise and untimely fall. Yet at the heart of the book are Miki's own battles: the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned private identity; the trials of being a woman in an infuriatingly male world; the struggle to find a middle ground between 'safe' indie obscurity and 'sell-out' international success. Miki also explores her complicated relationship with Emma - one that has fluctuated between camaraderie and rivalry over the years - and addresses the devastating tragedy that led to the band's split.
Told through frank confession, wry humour and searing emotional honesty, this is the incredible tale of a trailblazing woman and a seminal band.

A story about friendship, courage and self-belief, perfect for fans of The Goldfish Boy.

Archer's Voice
I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin. For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived — and my dad didn't. I'm almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis . . . and never rights itself again.
Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There's so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all.
So much passion. And so much hurt. But it's only in Archer's silence that we might just find what we need to heal . . . and live.
Includes an exclusive extended epilogue from Archer's POV!

Pivot
A stunning new insight into how the most crucial lesson you can learn in today’s challenging business environment is how to change the fundamentals of what you do, rather than carry on fighting a battle that is already lost.
The near destruction of the music industry at the hands of online piracy and its subsequent recovery on the backs of digital streaming platforms is more than just the biggest story of disruption and reinvention of the digital age. It is also a trove of insights on how to confront the metamorphosis we are all facing in dealing with the Covid-19 era, as accelerating tech and economic changes reshape our work, our play and our very minds.
Will Page, Spotify’s first chief economist, extrapolates music’s journey into eight guiding principles for pivoting through the ubiquitous disruption in nearly all industries. Expect the unexpected with transferable lessons coming from Starbucks, Tupperware and even Groucho Marx. The notion of 'Tarzan Economics' ties these principles together: a framework for recognising and acting on disruption, by letting go of the old vine and grabbing onto the new. Page joyfully brings these insights to life and provides a guide for knowing not just how to grab the new vine, but when. He assesses the new dynamics of the 'long tail', identifies friends and foes in the battle for scarce attention and provides a practical tool for discovering the right role for each of us to succeed in this new modern world.
As we emerge from the unprecedented disruption of a global pandemic, Pivot shows all of us - individuals, organisations and institutions - that if the vine we are holding onto is withering, we can have confidence to reach out for a new one in 2023 and beyond.

Evanjelium, ako mi bolo odhalené 5
Mária Valtorta v piatom diele končí dlhú etapu rozprávania o druhom roku Ježišovho verejného účinkovania. V treťom roku nastupuje Pán Ježiš vo svetle svojej Spravodlivosti. Tá vznešená Spravodlivosť, o ktorej dnes ľudia už takmer nič nevedia, lebo ich uspal Satan na pohodlnosti, lenivosti a mnohých mravných nerestiach. Dozvedáme sa, prečo Judáš stratil moc konať zázraky a ako veľmi Pán trpel pre jeho pyšnú dušu. Dej rozprávania nás zavedie do takmer neznámych príbehov učeníkov a malých detí, ktorí denne sprevádzali Pána a apoštolov pri ich evanjelizácii.
Ježiš hovorí: „Dobre, Šimon, poď. Chcel som, aby ste boli tu a aby ste spoznali Máriu. Mnohí z vás poznajú Máriu ako ,matku‘, niektorí ako ,nevestu‘. Ale nikto nepozná Máriu ako ,pannu‘. Ja vám ju chcem predstaviť v tejto rozkvitnutej záhrade, do ktorej s túžbou prišli vaše srdcia ako na miesto oddychu po námahách vašej apoštolskej práce a po nútenom odlúčení. Áno, ó, matka, ktorú Boh – Nesmierny, Vznešený, Panenský, Nestvorený – počal a nosil ťa ako svoje najnežnejšie bremeno, jasajúc, keď cítil, ako sa v ňom hýbeš, dávajúc mu úsmevy, z ktorých urobil stvorenstvo! Ty, ktorú v bolestiach zrodil, aby ťa dal svetu, najláskavejšia duša, zrodená z Panica, aby si bola ,Panna‘, Dokonalosť stvorenstva, Svetlo raja, Rada Boha, ktorý pozerajúc na teba mohol odpustiť Hriech, lebo ty sama, sama od seba vieš milovať tak, ako celé ľudstvo dané dohromady nevie milovať. V tebe je odpustenie Boha! V tebe je liek Boha, ty si pohladenie Večného po rane, ktorú človek urobil Bohu! V tebe je Spása sveta, matka vtelenej Lásky a darovaného Vykupiteľa! Duša mojej matky! Spojený v Láske s Otcom som na teba hľadel vo svojom vnútri, ó, duša mojej matky…! A tvoja žiara, tvoja modlitba, predstava, že ma budeš nosiť, ma utešovali od večnosti v mojom údele utrpenia a neľudských skúseností toho, čím je skazený svet pre neskonale dokonalého Boha. Vďaka, ó, matka! Ja som prišiel už nasýtený tvojou útechou, zostúpil som cítiac iba teba, tvoju vôňu, tvoj spev, tvoju lásku… Radosť, moja radosť!“

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

With wit and insight, Woolf also revisits classic novels and examines scholarly subjects, from the Greek language to the Modern Essay, to the Bronte's Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
