Steal Like an Artist 10th Anniversary Gift Edition with a New Afterword by the Author
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of a groundbreaking book on creativity with this limited anniversary hardcover, with a new afterword, color endpapers pulled from Austin Kleon's sketchbooks, and a ribbon marker.
Ten years after its initial publication, the message of Steal Like an Artist remains powerful: embrace influence, follow interests wherever they take us, forget old clichés like writing about what you know--instead, write the book that you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And above all, find the space you need to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work.
This 10th anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author, discussing the book's influence and how "stealing" has been misunderstood, and offering a unique, personal perspective on a book that's touched so many.
Unlock your creativitySteal like an artist.Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.Write the book you want to read.Use your hands.Side projects and hobbies are important.The secret: Do good work and share it with people.Geography is no longer our master.Be nice. (The world is a small town.)Be boring. (It's the only way to get work done.)Creativity is subtraction.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
To heal addiction, you have to go back to the start...
Featured on Russell Brand's podcast Under the Skin
Dr Gabor Mate is one of the world's most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we view all human development.
In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Mate takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society; not as a medical 'condition', but rather the result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development and brain chemistry.
Distilling cutting-edge research from around the world, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, it is a must-read that will change how you see yourself, others and the world.
The Lost Continent
A classic "lost race" story, with all of the required elements: a seductive empress, a straight-arrow hero, battles, escapes, sorcery, and earth-shattering cataclysms! Eminently readable and very entertaining, without any profundity to distract a fan of Haggard, Aubrey, or Janvier-style fantasy literature.

So, when he discovers hotel reviewer, London Montgomery, is a guest, he poses as a local tour guide to make sure she enjoys her stay.

If it's games he likes, she's willing to play and decides to see just how far he’ll go to make her dream vacation five-stars, but there's more to Mateu than cava and caviar, he's a dedicated family man willing to do anything for those he loves, and when London falls head over heart for both, she realizes this isn’t a game either will win.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – A fiúknak, akiket valaha szerettem
Írás közben egy csöppet sem fogom vissza magam. Úgy fogalmazok, mintha ő soha nem olvasná el. Merthogy nem is olvassa. Minden egyes titkos gondolatomat, gondos megfigyelésemet, mindent, amit eltettem magamban, belesűrítem egy levélbe. Amikor megírtam, lezárom, megcímezem, majd elteszem a pávakék kalapdobozba.
Ezek nem szerelmes levelek a szó legszorosabb értelmében. Akkor íródnak, amikor már nem akarok többé szerelmes lenni. Búcsúlevelek. Mert miután megírtam őket, nem emészt többé a mindent felemésztő szerelem. Onnantól fogva úgy tudom megenni reggel a gabonapelyhet, hogy közben nem azon jár az eszem, vajon ő is banánnal szereti-e a Cheeriost. Úgy éneklem a szerelmes dalokat, hogy már nem neki éneklem. Ha a szerelem olyan, mint a megszállottság, a leveleim olyanok, mint az ördögűzés. Megszabadítanak. Legalábbis azt kéne tenniük.
The Last Days of Night
From the winner of the Oscar for the Best Screenplay for The Imitation Game in 2015 comes a superb historical legal thriller based on the famous 'War of the Currents' fought between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse.
*Soon to be a major film starring Eddie Redmayne*
The man who controls electricity will control the very sun in the sky...
It is 1888 and, with gas lamps still flickering in the streets of New York, a young lawyer takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul Cravath's client is George Westinghuose, who is being sued by his wily rival, Thomas Edison, for $1 billion as they compete to power the city by electricity.
In his obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul takes ever greater risks to win at all costs. But soon he will find that everyone in his path is playing their own game.
The Man Who Ended War
The Secretary of War of the United States receives a letter sent to his and all other nations, declaring that war has too long devastated the earth and the time has come for peace. It orders them to destroy their weapons of warfare and disband their militaries. The letter ends: "One year from this date will I allow for disarmament and no more. At the end of that time, if no heed has been paid to my injunction, I will destroy, in rapid succession, every battleship in the world. By the happenings of the next two months you shall know that my words are the words of truth." It is signed "The man who will stop all war."The government officials at first dismiss this as a letter from a crank. Then a few battleships vanish, one per week, without a trace. What new technology enables this man to carry out his threat? Can he be found and stopped? Will the major powers of the world agree to disarm or will they blame each other and start a war?Recipe: Take an American investigative reporter, add his science professor friend and the professor's beautiful intelligent sister, throw in some early 20th century quasi-science, some romantic longing, some detective work in London, and a good measure of suspense.

A ketrec. The Prison Healer 2
Kiva Meridan igazi túlélő. Nemcsak a Zalindov börtönét élte túl, hanem a halálos Végzet Próbáját is. Most azonban többre vágyik a túlélésnél - eljött a bosszú ideje. Az utóbbi tíz évben más célja sem volt, mint ismét együtt lenni a családjával, és elpusztítani azokat, akik tönkretették az életüket. De kiszabadulása után a küldetése minden korábbinál bonyolultabbá vált. Ahogy Kiva megkezdi új életét a fővárosban, rádöbben, hogy a testvérei is megváltoztak fogsága alatt. Így hát Kivának az ellenségei és a családja előtt is titkolóznia kell. Nő a feszültség, a lázadók gyülekeznek, az északi királyságok pedig egyre nagyobb fenyegetést jelentenek. Lassan maga Kiva se tudja, kihez legyen hűséges. Hogy túlélhesse, Kivának még azelőtt ki kell igazodnia saját hazugságain, hogy mindent elveszítene.

The Woman in Black

Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral Mrs Alice Drablow, the house's sole inhabitant, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows.

Wasting Time on the Internet
Using clear, readable prose, conceptual artist and poet Kenneth Goldsmith's manifesto shows how our time on the internet is not really wasted but is quite productive and creative as he puts the experience in its proper theoretical and philosophical context. Kenneth Goldsmith wants you to rethink the internet. Many people feel guilty after spending hours watching cat videos or clicking link after link after link.
But Goldsmith sees that "wasted" time differently. Unlike old media, the internet demands active engagement-and it's actually making us more social, more creative, even more productive. When Goldsmith, a renowned conceptual artist and poet, introduced a class at the University of Pennsylvania called "Wasting Time on the Internet", he nearly broke the internet.
The New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Vice, Time, CNN, the Telegraph, and many more, ran articles expressing their shock, dismay, and, ultimately, their curiosity. Goldsmith's ideas struck a nerve, because they are brilliantly subversive-and endlessly shareable. In Wasting Time on the Internet, Goldsmith expands upon his provocative insights, contending that our digital lives are remaking human experience.
When we're "wasting time," we're actually creating a culture of collaboration. We're reading and writing more-and quite differently. And we're turning concepts of authority and authenticity upside-down.
The internet puts us in a state between deep focus and subconscious flow, a state that Goldsmith argues is ideal for creativity. Where that creativity takes us will be one of the stories of the twenty-first century. Wide-ranging, counterintuitive, engrossing, unpredictable-like the internet itself-Wasting Time on the Internet is the manifesto you didn't know you needed.
