A Pub For All Seasons


A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST DRINK BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2024''The book follows the seasons, and does a smart job of being elegiac and a little magical without trying to deny modernity'' Financial Times''A poetic meditation on the public house ... an appreciation of what makes a pub great'' Spectator, Drinks Books of the Year"A splendid book, ruminative, delightful and as full of good cheer as the best pub." Mail on Sunday"A genial ramble of a book ... a paean to the pub and its crucial role in community life." Country LifeEver since he was old enough to enjoy them, award-winning journalist and beer-expert Adrian Tierney-Jones has been visiting and drinking in pubs all over the country.As the world opened up post-Covid and we were all finally able to return to our locals, Adrian''s love for this British institution burned even brighter and he promised himself he would travel around the UK in search of the best pub he could find.The story of one man through the year and his travels to all corners of the country, A Pub For All Seasons follows Adrian as he visits far-flung corners of the country. From mellow, gentle pubs in autumn and dim, cosy spots in winter to bright, lively bars in spring and wondrous, buzzing gardens in summer, Adrian speaks to locals and landlords, hears unique sounds and stories, and samples food, drink and atmosphere. He watches the wild and beautiful similarities, differences between pubs, and notices how they all shift, tonally, throughout the year.And what started as a simple quest to find a nice place to sit and drink, ends up revealing to Adrian so much more: the secret to what truly makes the perfect British local across the four seasons."A hymn to the unique charms of the British pub ... Elegiac, moving and as satisfying as a cool pint of Harvey''s Best on a hot Summer''s day." Henry Jeffreys"Adrian Tierney-Jones doesn''t just visit pubs - he inhabits them and gives them a voice, allowing them to tell us how they act as the cornerstones of culture and community." Pete Brown"Profound, personal and powerful." Beer Insider

In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz


‘Joyous … a book that makes other journalists weep with envy’ The Economist''Provocative, touching, and sensitively written … an eloquent, brilliantly researched account’ Sunday TimesOne of The Economist’s best books by foreign correspondents.A story of grim comedy amid the apocalypse and a celebration of the sheer indestructibility of the human spirit in a nation run riot: Michela Wrong’s vision of Congo/Zaire during the Mobutu years is incisive, ironic and revelatory.Mr Kurtz, the colonial white master, brought evil to the remote upper reaches of the Congo River. A century after Conrad’s ''Heart of Darkness'' was first published, Michela Wrong revisits the Congo as the era of Mobutu Sese Seko collapses into absurdity, anarchy and corruption. Hers is a brilliant portrait of the grotesque as confusion takes over: pink lipsticked rebel soldiers mingle with tracksuited secret policemen in hotels where fin de siecle dinner parties are ploughing through hotel wine cellars rather than see bottles lost to the new regime.Congo, Africa’s richest country in terms of its natural resources, has institutionalised kleptomania: everyone is on the take. In a country where the minimum wage has dropped to below $150 a year, the government over twenty-five years spent $250 million providing courtesy cars. Congo has a vanity nuclear reactor built on a subsiding slope and one of its uranium rods is missing…The Mobutu reign, successor to Belgium’s failed imperial experiment in Africa, was fed by World Bank dollars and IMF loans. Having presided over unprecedented looting of the country’s wealth, Mobutu, like Kurtz, retreated deep within the jungle to his absurdly overwrought palace of marble floors and gold taps. A century on, nothing seems to have changed at the heart of Africa: it is lawless, graceless and it slaughters its own.

The Way of the Waves


''A wonderfully entertaining and deeply inspirational adventure by one of life''s great enthusiasts'' – Tim Moore, travel writer A slow, low-carbon journey by bike through Europe’s western fringes. Part personal pilgrimage and part manifesto for green travel, join Martin in his search for perfect waves and the soul of surfing.Chasing the sun south from his home in Cornwall, bestselling author and environmental campaigner Martin Dorey follows in the footsteps of the pioneers who discovered Europe’s best waves. On an epic journey of 3400km, Martin and his wife Lizzy take on the ultimate eco surfing adventure – riding eBikes with their surfboards in tow.Powered by patisseries and pastéis de nata, and returning to form after a disastrous knee injury, Martin hopes cycling will give him time to reconnect with his surfing past as he seeks out the stories and oral history that make the surf breaks of littoral Europe so very special.The Way of the Waves is a love letter to wave riding, eco-travel and freedom. It’s a testament to taking your time, understanding that the hills don’t last forever, keeping the pedals turning and hoping that mind, body and soul – and the wheels of the trailer – will go the distance.

Řím antituristický


Antituristický průvodce Římem Martina C. Putny je strhujícím čtením. Manifestem, kázáním, kulturně-historickou studií, stejně jako reportáží či básní. Tisíciletí života města měst předkládá nadmíru poučeně, s nadšeným, nakažlivým zaujetím a s tak šťavnatým jazykem, že čtenář-poutník díky němu může vnímat Řím bez přehánění všemi smysly. A ještě více než kdy dříve bude toužit jej spatřit a zas a znovu se do něj vracet. – PhDr. Pavel Hájek, Ph.D. Toto věru není „turistický průvodce“. Naopak, na začátku je polemika proti masovému turismu coby společensky i ekologicky škodlivému jevu. Přesto je však třeba cestovat, právě i „proti turismu“, a hledat místa skutečně důležitá – ne ta, o kterých turistická propaganda říká, že jsou důležitá –, a hledat souvislosti a smysl viděného. Tento (ne)průvodce v krátkých kapitolách prochází chronologicky dějiny Říma od nejranější antiky po současnost a ukazuje, kde je ta která epocha nejlépe viditelná v městské krajině, které známé, či naopak málo známé budovy a artefakty a „místa paměti“ o ní nejvíc vypovídají. Některé kapitoly však nejsou striktně chronologické, ale částečně i tematické (Řím židovský, Řím protestantský a antiklerikální, Řím levicový). Kapitoly jsou psány stručně, ovšem vždycky s literární jiskrou drobných aktualizací, paralel a sarkasmů; a také s citacemi z literárních pramenů, od Catulla a Ovidia po Karla Skalického a Andrého Acimana. Publikaci průběžně doprovází soubor fotografií, vytvořených autorem textu, také se ovšem lišících od běžných fotografií v průvodcích: Nikoliv ikonické budovy a artefakty, ale naopak pohledy netypické a detaily městské krajiny či „neznámých“ uměleckých děl. – prof. Mgr. Martin C. Putna, Dr.

Přehradář na cestě životem a kolem světa


Typ odvážného, neohroženého poutníka je stále živý a univerzální, od starověkého Odyssea až po moderního Petera von Losensteina, jehož životní cesta se před námi odvíjí ve znamení touhy po svobodě a smyslu. Je to život plný dobrodružství ve vzdálených krajích, obtížných zkoušek, blízkosti lásky a překvapivých zvratů. Je bohatě nasycený humorem, proniknutý schopností nacházet radost i v těžkých chvílích, vedený kompasem hluboké víry v existenci dobra. Poutník se odmítá podřídit nespravedlnosti, hledá vyšší pravdu – ať už duchovní, osobní nebo filozofickou. Obstává ve zkouškách, které posilují jeho charakter, a než příběh skončí, vrátí se: změněný poznáním. Proč se vrátil? Ani on možná neví – vpravdě proto, aby inspiroval nás ostatní. Jeho knížka voní dálkami a nakažlivě podněcuje k hledání vlastní cesty.
