Legs Hearts Minds
Returning home from a work trip, too jet-lagged to fall asleep, Chris Jones opened his wife’s laptop intending to get some writing done. Instead, he found a series of text messages that would burn his world to the ground. In the span of twenty minutes, he lost his wife and his best friend. Overwhelmed by sorrow and often terrifying rage, Jones contemplated suicide. He soon ended up in an emergency room, begging a doctor for help. That was the start of his journey to understand himself, to come to terms with his mistakes, to let go of anger and find forgiveness, and to give himself over to something outside of himself: an underdog English football team from an underdog northern town called Burnley. How does one rebuild a life? Can something as simple as football give someone a reason to live, offering solace and ultimately meaning? In this searing, beautiful memoir, Jones learns who we are when we care deeply. His journey through heartbreak and healing becomes a moving portrait of modern masculinity - flawed, feeling, and profoundly human.
Rivers Run
LONGLISTED FOR THE INAUGURAL RICHARD JEFFERIES AWARD FOR NATURE WRITING‘A master of the landscape and a celebration of a life lived with the wild’ – Dan Kieran, author of The Idle Traveller‘[Parr] writes beautifully ... gentle, often elegiac ... There is much pleasure to be taken from this book’ - Tom Fort, Gamefisher‘Yet, sitting here at the beginning of that journey, I realise there is a different path I must follow. This entails not a simple exploration of a single river, or the fish I might catch from it, but an understanding of what it is that makes someone an angler – what it is that makes me an angler. … Although I don’t always need a rod in my hand to feel as if I belong by the riverside, it was angling that helped open my eyes. And as I sit here, I can hear the river calling me, bubbling up from deep underground, sharing its secrets.’From childhood memories of an Exmoor stream and of the Itchen during difficult teenage years, to finding solace on the banks of the Kennet and the catharsis of a storm on the Jurassic Coast, Rivers Run is a love letter from Kevin Parr to the rivers and waterways that shaped him. It is a book about fishing. But it’s also a book about living, surviving the difficult times and remembering to breathe. ‘A moving treatise on the way we deal with the dark things that life throws at us’ - BBC Countryfile magazine‘I very much enjoyed this book ... thoughtful and interesting’ - Mark Avery, author of Inglorious
The Echoing Grove
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BRITISH WRITERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY''Lehmann legitimised a type of writing that took on deep personal themes'' ENGLISH PEN''Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own peculiar acumen'' ELIZABETH JANE HOWARD ''Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love'' MARGARET DRABBLE Two sisters: Madeleine and Dinah. One husband: Rickie Masters. For many years now, Dinah, exotic and sensual, has conducted a clandestine affair with Rickie. Madeleine, calm and resolute, has accepted that her marriage has been of limited success. Rickie''s sudden death makes widows of both sisters in this highly imaginative novel that explores with extraordinary insight the sublimity, the rivalry and the pain of personal relationships.''She makes a mood, an atmosphere, which is never forgotten . . . The inner voice of women talking to themselves about their love affairs, knowing that it is hopeless, having to go ahead anyway, expecting the end as soon as it begins. That, of course, is what Rosamond Lehmann does best'' SUNDAY TIMES
Land Beneath the Waves
A moving, honest and revealing memoir of living with chronic illness, and an examination of the ways a relationship with the natural world can affect us, from debut author and nature writer Nic WilsonWhen Nic Wilson begins researching the history of her local landscape and its wildlife, the last thing she wants to do is consider her own past. But as she unearths tales of giant sequoias, puss moths, nightingales and chalk streams, Nic realises her affinity with the nearby wild began as a way to handle growing up with a mother who lived with a debilitating chronic illness.Now in her forties, and struggling with mental and physical health herself, Nic revisits her childhood to trace the influence of the natural world on her life. As she grapples with revelations from the past, the boundaries between self and land become increasingly porous, and the lure of the wetlands around her home threatens to engulf her. Can she find the strength to face the waves of chronic illness - past and present - and learn to reach for steady ground?With the natural world facing more threats than ever before, Land Beneath the Waves inspires us to develop a meaningful bond with our local natural spaces and landscapes, illuminating a hopeful path towards a better future for human and non-human life.

Oblékám si svoje tělo jako pyžamo
Daleko od lidí je daleko od sebe. Jen s nimi jsme ve světě. Vše, co se stalo, a všechny, které jsme potkali, máme ve svém těle zapsané. Slovy, která jsou někdy až moc hluboko. Slovy, která na noc nejdou svléct. Proto když jsi ty tím, kdo je píše, přitlač. Vejdi do psaní celým tělem. Psaní je aktem odporu, ale taky péče, existence, kolektivního soužití. Piš. Tělo musí promluvit. Truchli, tanči, vzpomínej. Vracej se pohybem vpřed. Vypij soudek do dna, jinak se vypaří. Jako i my se nakonec vypaříme.
Souostroví Rusko ve válce proti Ukrajině
Válka, kterou ruská armáda, podporovaná částí společnosti, vede od roku 2014 proti Ukrajině, drasticky proměnila Ukrajinu, Evropu, svět, i Rusko samotné. A to nejen vojensky, politicky, ekonomicky, ale i v oblasti kulturní. Jak tamní umělkyně a umělci reagují na válku, jak ji jejich díla podrývají, dokumentují, oslavují – nebo ignorují? Jak válka intervenuje do vyjadřovacích prostředků umění, jak je proměňuje? Které jevy v kultuře, v kulturní politice a ve veřejném prostoru se v době války zdají být stěžejní, z čeho vycházejí, jak se projevují a kam směřují? Co vlastně znamená a co produkuje takzvaný ruský exil? Jaké strategie volí kulturní instituce a kremelský establishment? Na tyto a mnohé další otázky hledá odpovědi deset kapitol tohoto souboru faktů a úvah o válce a kultuře, psaných za války.

Lámpás mesék - Jó éjt, erdőlakók
Ez a különleges kötet nem csupán egy mese, hanem egy közös rituálé kezdete. Ahogy leszáll az éj az erdőre, a kicsik segíthetnek kedvenc állataiknak megtalálni a nyugalmat. A könyv egyedülálló funkciója a beépített lámpa: a gomb megnyomásával a hold lágy fénnyel ragyog fel, biztonságot és melegséget árasztva a sötétben.
Az utolsó hívás - Dzsian telefonfülkéje
Mi lenne, ha egyetlen telefonhívás elegendő lenne ahhoz, hogy választ kapjunk a legfájóbb kérdéseinkre? Egy pszichológiai boncolásokat végző központban azok történetei találkoznak, akik egy szeretett személy öngyilkossága után maradtak magukra, és tele vannak bűntudattal, haraggal és megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel. A központ közelében álló, elhagyatott telefonfülke különös titkot rejt: aki belép oda, és leemeli a kagylót, meghallgathatja elhunyt rokona, szerelme utolsó gondolatait.
Kang Dzsian, a központ vezetője, saját vesztesége - édesapja halála - miatt nap mint nap felkeresi a fülkét, abban a reményben, hogy még egyszer hallhatja a hangját. Amikor felismeri, milyen mély hatással vannak ezek az utolsó gondolatok az itt maradókra, úgy dönt, beépíti a fülkét a pszichológiai boncolás, a traumafeldolgozás, a gyógyítás és gyógyulás folyamatába. A cél nem a múlt megváltoztatása, hanem a megértés: annak feltárása, mi vezetett a tragédiához, és hogyan lehet együtt élni a következményekkel és az elveszített szerettünk hiányával.
Csillagösvényen
BÁN MÓR ezúttal egy izgalmas koncepcióra épülő, dupla novelláskötettel jelentkezik. A Göröngyös úton című kötetben a Hunyadi-sorozat szerzője ezúttal is a magyarok múltjának izgalmas fejezeteit tárja elénk, a Csillagösvényen pedig legkiválóbb sci-fi- elbeszéléseinek gyűjteménye.
Az emberiség jövőjét kutató írások hol a következő évszázadok társadalmának égető gondjaira reflektálnak, hol pedig a technikai fejlődés vívmányainak következményeit próbálják feltérképezni. A távoli galaxisok felfedezői, a jövőben válni készülő házaspárok, akik mindent el akarnak felejteni előző életükből, klónozott személyiségek egymáshoz fűződő, nem könnyen kibogozható viszonya, a távoli évszázadok majdan megvívott ütközeteinek hősei, a közeli jövő háborús tudósításainak forgatókönyvírói - csupán néhány figura és téma a kötetben szereplő elbeszélésekből.
A novellák között akad sokkolóan szókimondó, fordulatos, akár egy kalandregény, vagy éppen mélyen elgondolkodtató. Vajon jó irányba tartunk a jövőbe vezető úton?
Idézzük fel együtt a hosszú utat - a földrögből a csillagokig!
Szív és ész törvényei
A gimnazista Lily Webb első szerelmével közösen szőtt álmai erőszakos véget érnek egy tengerparti buli után, és Lily még csak nem is emlékszik a történtekre.
A hetvenes években járunk. Amerika változik; Lily is feminista anyja és mélyen vallásos apja nézetei között bolyongva éli a kamaszlányok mindennapjait húgával, a matematikazseni Jane-nel. Édesanyjuk halála után a szerelem nyújt számára menedéket, egészen addig a végzetes éjszakáig.
A fiútól elszakadva Lily egyetemre megy, ahol egy idősebb professzor, az ornitológus Marshall nyeri el ismét a szívét. Csakhogy évekkel később a fiú, aki egykor a világmindenséget jelentette Lily számára, ismét felbukkan az életében.
Lilyt évtizedeken át nyomasztja a felelősség a történtekért, miközben igyekszik a második szerelem szilárd nyugalma és az első azóta sem szűnő lobogása között egyensúlyozni. Az egyre inkább lecsúszó Jane sorsa is az ő vállára nehezedik.
A regény a hit, az irodalom, a fizika és a madarak viselkedése segítségével igyekszik a bűn, a bűnhődés, a megbocsátás és a megváltás kérdéseire választ találni, és felcsendülnek benne a kor legjobb zenéi.

The Northern Bank Job
The true story of one of the biggest bank heists in Irish and British history – and the questions that remain.On a Sunday evening in December 2004, two young men were at home with their families. Both worked for the Northern Bank’s cash centre in Belfast. They heard knocks on their front doors. Within a few minutes, masked men invaded their homes, overpowered their loved ones and disabled their electronic devices. It was made clear to the two bank officials that they had a choice: do what they were told or their families would die.Over the course of the following day, L26.5 million was stolen from the Northern Bank: the biggest cash heist in Irish and British history. The two men whose families were held hostage simply re-labelled vast amounts of cash as rubbish and wheeled huge bags to a van waiting outside in the street, yards from Belfast’s City Hall. The robbers’ knowledge of the inner workings of the bank was astonishing. They deployed a large crew of drivers, guards, watchers and gunmen.It was immediately obvious that only one organization had the ability to plan and execute such an audacious, minutely-planned robbery: the Irish Republican Army. But the IRA was supposed to be demobilized as a result of the Good Friday Peace Agreement signed six years earlier. The leaders of Sinn Féin (who were also leaders of the IRA) vehemently denied they had anything to do with it.No-one believed them. The governments in London, Dublin and Washington were outraged. Yet no one was ever been convicted of any crime relating to the heist and little more than two years later, Sinn Féin was in government in Northern Ireland.In the wake of the twentieth anniversary of this bizarre robbery, Glenn Patterson builds on his popular BBC podcast to shed new light on the story of the infamous heist, the victims, the organizers and the abortive, at times comically inept, attempts to find the people who carried it out.
