Dark Night
The profound, hugely influential exploration of spiritual growth and transformation, from one of the great Spanish mystics and poets
'Oh living flame of love,
how tenderly you scorch me'
The poetry of the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic, St John of the Cross, has inspired and consoled for hundreds of years, influencing writers from James Joyce to Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill to T. S. Eliot. This new edition of his essential works, in a sensitive and luminous translation by Martha Sprackland, gathers John of the Cross's complete poems and a selection of his prose, including from his extended commentary on the poem 'Dark Night'. In his immediate, sensual writing, we see a soul searching for meaning and union with the divine: both meek and bold, deserving and undeserving, oscillating between light and dark, soaring and falling, desperation and salvation. Dark Night gives us a picture of faith at once confronting and inspiriting, and of the power of words as a means of spiritual transcendence.
Translated by Martha Sprackland, with an Introduction by Colin Thompson
Mega Builds
Construction is the most important industry in the world. The homes we wake up in, the schools where our children learn, the transportation networks we depend on, and the hospitals that care for us all exist because they were designed and built.
In Mega Builds, YouTube creator Fred Mills takes readers inside ten extraordinary megaprojects that are reshaping the modern world. Offering a front-row seat to some of the most ambitious engineering feats ever attempted, Mills delivers a fact-filled global tour that reveals how these vast undertakings are redefining what is possible.
Inside, you will discover:
Why the world’s largest city has been built in one of the most inhospitable locations on Earth.
How the vision of a single ruler in the desert is challenging our assumptions about the limits of design and construction.
What compels us to build ever-taller skyscrapers and ever-faster trains.
And how the scale of human imagination today is shaping the cities and infrastructure of tomorrow.
The story of our civilization is being written not only in books, but in steel, concrete, glass, and earth. Mega Builds reveals how the structures rising around us are defining the future of the man-made world.
