Afloat
'Prose that is precise and beautiful as northern light … this book is an absolute delight' MOYA CANNON Join David Gange on a seabound journey along Atlantic coasts and islands, exploring places and ways of life that have been built on small rowed or paddled boats. These small boats outnumber decked ships by at least fifty to one. Yet almost all history writing is about big boats. This is a strange misrepresentation of maritime history that this book seeks to put right. From Ireland and Shetland to the Faroes and across to Greenland, Newfoundland, the US and the Caribbean, Árdras is the story of eight journeys in search of ocean-going rowed and paddled boats. Gange, an award-winning historian, joins community pilgrimages to tiny islands on their saints’ days, and races and regattas that express revivals of commitment to local boats and the community ideals they sustained. Along the way he encounters whales, sharks and icebergs – as well as journeys beneath skies filled, from horizon to horizon, with tens of thousands of seabirds. Small traditional boats fulfil roles in their communities unlike any other supposedly inanimate things. Often treated as living members of the family, with minds and lives of their own, they’ve been essential to many cultures’ ways of living with the seascapes that surround them. This gorgeous and lyrical book offers not only a journey into the past, but a vision of how these ways of life might inform our futures.
Notebook
The story behind Notebook starts with a minor crime: the theft of Tom Cox's rucksack from a Bristol pub in 2018. In that rucksack was a journal containing ten months' worth of notes, one of the many Tom has used to record his thoughts and observations over the past twelve years. It wasn't the best he had ever kept – his handwriting was messier than in his previous notebook, his entries more sporadic – but he still grieved for every one of the hundred or so lost pages. This incident made Tom appreciate how much notebook-keeping means to him: the act of putting pen to paper has always led him to write with an unvarnished, spur-of-the-moment honesty that he wouldn’t achieve on-screen. Here, Tom has assembled his favourite stories, fragments, moments and ideas from those notebooks, ranging from memories of his childhood to the revelation that 'There are two types of people in the world. People who fucking love maps, and people who don't.' The result is a book redolent of the real stuff of life, shot through with Cox’s trademark warmth and wit.

Mary Penfold: The true story of the great Australian winemaker, from the bestselling award-winning author of SISTER VIV and MR AND MRS GOULD
The inspiring story of Mary Penfold, the mother of the Australian wine industry - a self-taught vintner and business genius who emigrated to a frontier settlement and built her family's small vineyard into one of the world's most respected winemakers Bestselling author and biographer Grantlee Kieza turns his focus to the birth of the Australian wine industry and the mother, business leader and pioneering vintner Mary Penfold, who grew her garden vineyard into a world renowned wine empire. Closely related to one of the world's wealthiest families, Mary was a new mother when she packed up her baby daughter and left all the comforts of her seaside home in England in 1844 to follow her husband Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold as he chased his dream of starting a new life in the infant colony of South Australia. Mary and Christopher settled on a farm in the Adelaide Hills, and as Christopher made his rounds visiting patients on horseback, Mary and her maid Ellen Timbrell tended grapevines that the Penfolds had sourced from the south of France and planted in the garden beside their stone cottage, which they named The Grange. At first the wines Mary made were used as tonics for Christopher's patients, but at a time when women were often excluded from commerce and given little recognition for their business endeavours, Mary transformed her cottage industry into an empire. She expanded her vineyard, developed new styles of her product and built a flourishing company that supplied not only Australia's demand for high quality wine, but thirsty export markets as well. Wine had been part of the Australian landscape since the First Fleet delivered vines along with the convicts and free settlers to Sydney Cove in 1788, and 'The Commander in Chief', as Mary was affectionately known, helped make the Australian wine industry the envy of the world. Riding her white mare and using her spy glass among the vines to oversee her creation, her brilliance as a vintner and great business mind lives on today with Penfolds Grange being one of the most sought after wines in the world.

And can we create more of the? n The Path More Travelled, acclaimed geographer and travel writer Nicholas Crane explores the hidden history of Britain's coast-to-coast web, from prehistoric routeways walked by European migrants 12,000 years ago to pilgrim ways and coffin roads, turnpikes, towpaths and city pavements. We discover how land-grabbing Norman barons began the enclosure of our countryside, and how our beloved national parks and long-distance trails emerged from the ashes of two world wars.

Nászút Marokkóban
Egy nő, aki menekül a múltja elől.
Egy férfi, aki újra hinni tanul a szerelemben.
És egy utazás, amely örökre megváltoztatja az életüket.
Marie, a párizsi fordítónő Toszkána napfényes dombjai között talál rá arra a békére, amelyről azt hitte, örökre elveszítette. Roberto, a szőlőbirtok gazdája két gyermekével együtt, lassan visszavezeti őt az életbe és a szerelemhez.
De a történet itt nem ér véget.
Egy különleges nászút során együtt fedezik fel Marokkó varázslatos világát: a színekben vibráló bazárokat, a Magas-Atlasz hegyeit, a sivatag kapuját, az időtlen kasbahokat és az Atlanti-óceán fuvallatát. Minden nap új élmény, minden hely egy új fejezet – és minden pillanat közelebb viszi őket egymáshoz.
Ez a könyv nemcsak egy romantikus történet, hanem egy különleges útikönyv is Marokkó csodás vidékeire. Az olvasó Marie és Roberto nyomában járva fedezheti fel az ország legszebb tájait, városait és rejtett kincseit, miközben betekintést nyer a helyi kultúrába, a hagyományokba, és belekóstolhat a jellegzetes marokkói ízekbe.
A kaland azonban nemcsak tájakon, hanem szíveken át is vezet. A múlt sebei gyógyulni kezdenek, a család összekovácsolódik, és egy váratlan hír mindent új fénybe helyez.
Ez a regény a szerelemről, az újrakezdésről és az otthon megtalálásáról szól – bárhol is legyen az a világban.
Egy történet, amelyben az utazás nemcsak a világot, hanem a lelket is felfedezi.
Julie Sorell luxemburgi születésű művészettörténész, aki 46 évesen vált ismertté első regényével a Hajnal Toszkánában, melynek folytatása a Karácsony Velencében. Két gyermek édesanyja, és hosszú évek óta művészettörténetet és irodalmat tanít az Université du Luxembourg egyetemen. 2024-ben a hallgatók az év oktatójává választották. Mesterfokozatát a híres Bolognai Egyetemen szerezte, ahol különösen az itáliai reneszánsz művészet kutatásával foglalkozott. Diplomamunkáját a firenzei reneszánsz fénykoráról írta. Írói stílusát érzékenység, romantikus látásmód és gazdag kulturális háttér jellemzi. Regényei nemcsak romantikus történetek, de egyben hidat is képeznek a képzőművészet, a gasztronómia és az olasz életérzés között.

The Comeback
'An irresistible biography' Evening StandardIt remains the greatest comeback in music history. The Lazarus-like saga of Elvis Presley’s fall and rise, from Army discharge through Sixties Hollywood hell to divine black-leather resurrection. As 1968 dawns, the once ‘King’ of rock’n’roll faces cultural oblivion, a fading star lost in a 24/7 delirium of women, pills and holy mumbo-jumbo, isolated from an America unravelling in its own chaos of war, racism, riots and assassinations. Until, against all odds, his world and theirs collide in the performance of his life. First published four years before Baz Luhrmann’s dramatisation of events in the Oscar-nominated 2022 biopic Elvis, Simon Goddard’s The Comeback is no less a vividly cinematic, pelvic-thrusting blockbuster. This Remastered edition includes a foreword from musician and journalist Bob Stanley.

With a focus on inspiration and inclusivity for all tarot levels, it begins by establishing how we can view the cards as reflections of the psyche and walks readers through how to use the cards for inner work and shadow work.

Alongside archetypal interpretations of the cards, she grounds readers in the foundations of depth psychology, inner work techniques, and methods of reading. The following topics are also covered:Psycho-spiritual meanings and approaches to the Major and Minor ArcanaA breakdown of how to apply all that the reader has learnedGuidance on how to prepare for readings and how the cards communicateMore than a manual for reading the cards, it is an initiation into their archetypal depth.

Svätý Jozef, muž ticha a dôvery
Evanjeliá o svätom Jozefovi hovoria málo, no jeho tichá vernosť nesie celé dejiny spásy. Táto kniha ponúka biblicko-duchovný pohľad na Jozefa ako spravodlivého muža, ktorý dokáže dôverovať Bohu aj v neistote a konať bez potreby slov. Sleduje jeho cestu od vnútorného zápasu cez sny a rozhodné skutky až po skrytý život v Nazarete. Ukazuje Jozefa ako ochrancu života, muža zodpovednosti a vernosti v každodennosti. Text je pozvaním započúvať sa do ticha, v ktorom Boh hovorí, a objaviť cestu dôvery a svätosti uprostred obyčajného života.
