Poems to Fix a F**ked Up World
Sometimes it's hard to keep looking up at the stars when the gutter we're in seems so full of sh*t.
But isn't that why we need poetry?
Oscar Wilde wrote some of his best poetry when he was in prison for 'the love that dare not speak its name'.
Nelson Mandela held fast to his 'unconquerable soul' on Robben Island with the help of the words a poet wrote about his battle with tuberculosis a century before.
So maybe it's not inconceivable that the words in this little book could help you put some of the sh*t in perspective, get all the important bits of your life - like sleep, work, food, travel, love and learning - in some kind of balance, so you can go back to star-gazing again . . .
Taking as its starting point the classic 'wheel of balance' life-coach model, this beautifully packaged collection of extracts and short poems gathers wisdom old and new in a perfect gift for anyone who needs comfort in this f**ked up world of ours.
'This is not a poetry book as you know it, this is a life raft.' Emerald Street on Poems for a World Gone to Sh*t.

A Secret Vice: Tolkien On Invented Languages
First ever critical study of Tolkien's little-known essay, which reveals how language invention shaped the creation of Middle-earth and beyond, to George R R Martin's Game of Thrones.
J.R.R. Tolkien's linguistic invention was a fundamental part of his artistic output, to the extent that later on in life he attributed the existence of his mythology to the desire to give his languages a home and peoples to speak them. As Tolkien puts it in 'A Secret Vice', 'the making of language and mythology are related functions''.
In the 1930s, Tolkien composed and delivered two lectures, in which he explored these two key elements of his sub-creative methodology. The second of these, the seminal Andrew Lang Lecture for 1938-9, 'On Fairy-Stories', which he delivered at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, is well known. But many years before, in 1931, Tolkien gave a talk to a literary society entitled 'A Hobby for the Home', where he unveiled for the first time to a listening public the art that he had both himself encountered and been involved with since his earliest childhood: 'the construction of imaginary languages in full or outline for amusement'.
This talk would be edited by Christopher Tolkien for inclusion as 'A Secret Vice' in The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays and serves as the principal exposition of Tolkien's art of inventing languages. This new critical edition, which includes previously unpublished notes and drafts by Tolkien connected with the essay, including his 'Essay on Phonetic Symbolism', goes some way towards re-opening the debate on the importance of linguistic invention in Tolkien's mythology and the role of imaginary languages in fantasy literature.

Csak azért sem gyűlöllek titeket
Péntek este elloptátok egy kivételes lény életét, életem szerelméét, a fiam édesanyjáét, de csak azért sem gyűlöllek titeket.
Nem, nem teszem meg nektek azt a szívességet, hogy gyűlöljelek benneteket. Pedig ez volt a célotok, de ha a gyűlöletre haraggal felelnék, akkor ugyanannak a tudatlanságnak engednék, ami benneteket tett azokká, amik vagytok. Azt akartátok, hogy féljek, hogy honfitársaimra gyanakodva tekintsek, hogy feláldozzam szabadságomat a biztonságom kedvéért.
Ketten vagyunk, a fiam meg én, de erősebbek vagyunk, mint a világ összes hadserege. Egyébként meg nincs is már több időm a számotokra, megyek Melvilhez, ébredezik a délutáni alvásból. Alig tizenhét hónapos, most meguzsonnázik, mint minden nap, aztán megyünk játszani, mint minden nap, és ez a kisfiú egész életében csak azért is boldog és szabad lesz. Mert nem, ő sem fog gyűlölni titeket.
Héléne Muyal-Leiris a párizsi terrortámadás során vesztette életét 2015. november 13-án. Férje, Antoine másfél éves gyermekükkel maradt magára; nyílt levele, melyet a merénylet másnapján írt a terroristákhoz, bejárta a világsajtót. Bővített változata, melyet kezében tart az olvasó, több mint 20 nyelven jelenik meg.
Anotine Leiris felkavaró története arról szól, hogyan lehet emberi választ adni a terrorizmus értelmetlen embertelenségére.

Winning Not Fighting
FT BOOK OF THE MONTH
'A wondrous book' - Alain de Botton
'A wholly new perspective to finding balance and success' - Nir Eyal
'I highly reccommend it' - Chief experience officer, Publicis Group and author of How to Speak Machine: Laws of Design for a Digital Age
Smash your targets * Annihilate the competition * Choose your battles
Have you ever wondered why we use metaphors derived from war and conflict so often at work? What impact does that have on how we conduct business, our culture, our stress levels and ultimately our ability to succeed?
For too long war has cast a spell on how we think about business, with negative implications for us, the companies we work in and on the planet. Drawing on the philosophy of Wing Tsun, an ancient Chinese martial art based on the idea that fighting is fundamentally bad, John Vincent and Julian Hitch challenge some of our deepest-held assumptions and show us how to unlearn many ideas and behaviours that are preventing our personal and professional growth. Instead of embracing force as the long accepted route to success, Winning Not Fighting offers as a transformational guide to work and life by inspiring positivity, simplicity and focus.
"Unites business and martial arts in a realistic, practical and intelligent way. It's capitalism, but not as we know it." - Benjamin Zephaniah

The Ditch
When Robert Walter, popular Mayor of Amsterdam, sees his wife toss her head back in laughter while chatting to one of his aldermen at a New Year's reception, he immediately suspects the worst.
Despite their long and happy marriage, Robert is convinced that Sylvia is cheating on him - and with the straitlaced alderman, no less, who is committed to the environment and wants to spoil the capital's skyline with wind turbines.
Soon afterwards, a journalist produces a photograph of a police officer being beaten up by three protesters during a demonstration against the Vietnam War. She claims that the mayor is one of the protesters. Then, out of the blue, Robert's ninety-four-year-old father turns up on the steps of the city hall, desperate to speak to him. He and his wife want to die together. They do not want to burden their son with their deteriorating health, so why not end their own lives when the time is right?
Herman Koch's The Ditch shows how a seemingly stable man can quickly become increasingly entangled in his own fears and suspicions. Or is everything not what it seems - is Robert Walter actually seeing things clearly for the very first time?

De legyél. Csak egy gyerek vagyok. Pedofilnak érzed majd magad, és kiszaladsz a világból."
Amikor Etgar megtudja, hogy első szerelme megcsalja őt, nagy bánatában az interneten lel vigaszra Macy, az unatkozó háziasszony személyében, aki nem mellesleg egy igazi milf. Kettejük kapcsolata eleinte kizárólag virtuális alapokon nyugszik, de aztán kitalálják, hogy találkoznak. Egy hotelszobában.

Defining Contemporary Art 25 years
In the mid-1980s the sprouting of new movements that had driven modern art since the nineteenth century finally went dormant, sputtering out with a last few half-hearted labels ('pattern painting', 'neo-geo', 'commodity art'). But this was not the en
d of art history - far from it. In the years since, art's creative development has remained more vibrant than ever, resulting in a staggering diversity of new forms. Defining Contemporary Art responds to this unique landscape with an innovative appro
ach to art history. Assembled and written by eight of the most prominent curators working today, all of whom have both witnessed and shaped this period, Defining Contemporary Art tells the story of the two hundred pivotal artworks of the past twenty-
five years. These artworks include not only the most talked about pieces but also the quietly influential works, those which may have been overlooked at the time of their making but which went on to change the paradigm of their era. Arranged year by
year, these two hundred works provide a true chronological depiction of creativity in our era, forming a mosaic in which readers may find their own patterns. Each author, in addition to selecting twenty-five artworks from 1986 to 2010, has singled ou
t one year from this period as a key moment in its development, tracing the shifts in the artistic climate and the important exhibitions of new art, influential retrospectives, milestones and anecdotes that serve as the seeds of more conventional his
tories. Defining Contemporary Art is not a conventional history. In a period when artistic developments no longer proceed via tidy movements, when narratives of progress no longer hold sway, when the art world has not one centre but many, this book p
rovides the reader with all the materials to compose a picture of the most vital period in art: our own.

The Sweet Life in Paris
From the New York Times bestselling author of My Paris Kitchen and L'Appart, a deliciously funny, offbeat, and irreverent look at the city of lights, cheese, chocolate, and other confections.
Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris ever since he first visited the city and after a nearly two-decade career as a pastry chef and cookbook author, he finally moved to Paris to start a new life. Having crammed all his worldly belongings into three suitcases, he arrived, hopes high, at his new apartment in the lively Bastille neighborhood. But he soon discovered it's a different world en France. From learning the ironclad rules of social conduct to the mysteries of men's footwear, from shopkeepers who work so hard not to sell you anything to the etiquette of working the right way around the cheese plate, here is David's story of how he came to fall in love with--and even understand--this glorious, yet sometimes maddening, city. When did he realize he had morphed into un vrai parisien? It might have been when he found himself considering a purchase of men's dress socks with cartoon characters on them. Or perhaps the time he went to a bank with 135 euros in hand to make a 134-euro payment, was told the bank had no change that day, and thought it was completely normal. Or when he found himself dressing up to take out the garbage because he had come to accept that in Paris appearances and image mean everything. Once you stop laughing, the more than fifty original recipes, for dishes both savory and sweet, such as Pork Loin with Brown Sugar-Bourbon Glaze, Braised Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Cake, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Chocolate Spice Bread, Lemon-Glazed Madeleines, and Mocha-Creme Fraîche Cake, will have you running to the kitchen for your own taste of Parisian living.

Karmakiller - Ajándék meditációs CD-melléklet
“Ha Ha az álmom kapcsán a múltba nézek, nem túl biztató a kép. Hiába költöztem el tizennyolc évesen a családomtól, a testi és lelki terror addigra már felemésztette az egészségemet. Sokféle és sokáig tartó betegeskedés után két évig a halál mezsgyéjén egyensúlyoztam, és nem volt olyan rég, hogy elmenekültem egy házasságból, ami már senki javát sem szolgálta.
Ez vagyok én? Aligha. Mert emellett van egy másik múltam is”.
A megrendítő történetben, melyet Balázs Valéria Anamé tár elénk, saját magunkra ismerhetünk, lelki fejlődésünk mérföldkövei köszönnek ránk. A kalandregénynek is beillő könyvben a sors rendeződését követhetjük nyomon, átlátva, hogy mindennek oka és eredője maga a szeretet, és hogy a legnagyobb szenvedés is a fejlődésünk szolgálatában áll.
Az írónő kézzelfogható valósággá teszi a karma miszticizmusát, miközben olyan kérdések megválaszolására ösztönöz történetével, amelyekkel életutunk más irányt vehet. Segít minket, hogy saját válaszainkra találjunk, megfejtsük, kik vagyunk valójában, honnan jöttünk és mit kell tanulnunk a saját életünkből.
“Karma… félelemmel vegyes borzongással ejti ki a szót, aki előtt felderengett már a spirituális világ, és kezdte megismerni annak törvényeit… De a megismerés messze van még a megértéstől! A megértést – és vele együtt a megbocsátást és minden ítélkezéstől való tartózkodást – nem hozhatja el más, mint a saját élményed.”

Végtelen történet
A könyv nagyjából tizenegyezer évet ölel át. Ebből a hosszú időszakból kiragadtam néhány fontosabb pillanatot. Olyan pillanatokat, amelyek a jóról és rosszról is szólnak. Amelyek egy kegyetlen barbárról és egy áldott angyalról szólnak, és ne hidd, hogy ez két külön személy! Ez a könyv azért sem hétköznapi angyalos történet, mert egy részét megálmodtam, és az alapján írtam le, másrészt a pozitív főhős nem volt mindig az. Harmadszor pedig, mert úgy érzem, elérkezett az idő arra, hogy az emberek higgyenek és bízzanak egy jobb és boldogabb világban, ha eddig nem tették volna! Az emberek jó része készen áll a változásra, és ezzel a munkámmal szeretném megerősíteni bennük ezt az érzést, illetve egyfajta segítséget adni nekik. Durva, szomorú, erőt adó, gyengéd és elgondolkodtató részek egyaránt megtalálhatóak ebben a könyvben is, valamint a folytatásában. Ezzel a rövid, ámde lényegre törő írásmóddal, amit én képviselek, egy új korszakot szeretnék teremteni, elsősorban azok számára, akik nem szeretnek olvasni.
