Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog
''One afternoon, in a particularly bright and glowing August, some years before I knew I was happy...''Charming, evocative and imbued with the melancholy of nostalgia, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is Dylan Thomas''s much-loved collection of loosely autobiographical short fiction. First we meet the young schoolboy, gloriously immersed in make-believe in a shabby farmyard; then, the budding poet with his thrilling friendships and dreams of fortune; and finally, ''young Mr Thomas'', the penniless journalist who ''hoped, in a vague way, to live on women''.Shot through with the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth, these stories reveal Dylan Thomas the poet in an entirely new light, as he explores love, death, religion, adolescent sexuality and fragile male friendships in one of the twentieth century''s finest collections of short fiction.
To Have or To Hold
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITINGA BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025A thrilling exploration of nature’s symbiotic relationships by the award-winning author of Forget Me Not.What can nature teach us about living together? Investigating eight symbiotic relationships trying to survive the climate and biodiversity crises, Sophie Pavelle explains why it has never been more vital for us to understand symbiosis. Symbiotic relationships regulate ecosystems, strengthen resilience and bind pivotal connections, and nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque and as bizarre as they are engrossing.Symbiotic relationships don''t happen accidentally – these dynamics evolved – and species form and sever alliances everywhere, from deep within temperate rainforests to the open ocean, quiet tidal pools or chalk grasslands.In To Have or To Hold, Sophie low-carbon travels in the British Isles relishing the interconnectedness between species, celebrating the relationships underpinning natural environments and sharing some of nature’s frauds, fortune-tellers, misfits and cheaters.The natural world is built on parasitism, a cunning blend of bargaining and exploitation in the name of survival. In our relationship with the natural world, are we the parasites? Will we continue to exploit nature’s resources? Or will we vow to love and cherish what remains – shaping a more restorative life alongside nature – till death us do part?
The Flight
A young man''s passion for his father''s mistress turns tragic in this deft Russian novel by the author of modernist masterpiece The Spectre of Alexander Wolf.“The Gazdanov revival... is nothing short of a literary event.” —Times Literary Supplement Mixing psychological drama with devastating, sunsoaked romance, this modernist take on the traditional Russian 19th-century realist novel epitomised by Tolstoy delivers a timeless statement on the tension between sensuality and duty, community and freedom.While summering on the French Riviera, the young Seryozha secretly becomes the lover of the much older Liza—who is also his father''s mistress. As autumn approaches, they reluctantly part: Liza to return to Paris, Seryozha to take up his studies at university in London. When he finds out about their affair, Seryozha''s father attempts to convince Liza to leave his son, for the sake of the boy''s own happiness. She finally gives in—but a sudden, fatal catastrophe changes everything.An account of twisted love and youthful disillusionment that recalls Vladimir Nabokov and Françoise Sagan, full of secrets and reversals, Gazdanov''s second novel is proof of his wide-ranging talents. Originally written before his celebrated noir experiments, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf and The Buddha''s Return, The Flight blends tragic inevitability, complex and fractured family relationships, and a whirling cast of émigrés struggling to break through each other’s solitude to make for a devastating and compelling read.

When Carla Montemayor discovers that her great-great grandmother was a binukot – a girl sequestered from her family and community, trained to memorise and sing the myths of her people – this sets her on her own epic journey to uncover her ancestry. Why was she raised on European fairytales and Greek myths when the stories of her own people are so rich? And why did no one in her family speak of their illustrious binukot foremother anymor? ravelling to the Philippines to trace the lives of her female relatives, Carla discovers that, officially, her people have no history. Like many indigenous groups, their stories have been erased by colonists. It becomes her work to reconstruct and reimagine them. Weaving together the tales of her family members, who survived war, oppression, violence, displacement and more, with the myths of her people, Carla finds similarities: women with courage, resourcefulness and ambition, who fight and love with equal ferocity. Islands of Forgotten Daughters celebrates these women and tells their tales, offering a fresh perspective on Filipino history and culture. It is a rallying cry for the power of storytelling: to resist erasure, preserve identity and resonate for generations to come.

You Can Just Do Things
'A guide to building life on your own terms.' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
It's refreshing to read a book so ambitious and humane at the same time.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Positivity

Extraordinary results don't require genius or grit – they require agency, and anyone can build it
You've been taught success comes from careful planning, learning the ropes, and earning one promotion at a time. But what about the people who seem to skip all that?
We all know a few rare individuals who never stop moving, taking wild risks, and collecting public failures, yet somehow always seem to land on top. They act with confidence while you second-guess. They jump while you're still researching. They ask forgiveness instead of permission, and the world rewards them for it.
Why don't the rules apply to them?
Because they're not rules. They're productivity guidelines for people who've been trained to wait for permission.
High-agency people act on the world rather than letting the world act on them. They don't wait to feel ready. They don't ask if they're qualified. They simply do things, and the results follow.
You Can Just Do Things reveals the specific strategies that separate those who achieve from those who wait:Increase your surface area for luck – put yourself where opportunities can find you
Take every shortcut available – the "proper path" is often just slower, not better
Build forcing functions – design systems that make backing out harder than following through
Use your deepest insecurities as fuel – your shame contains your most powerful motivation
The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't about talent, discipline or working harder. It's about whether you're willing to claim ownership over your own life. It's to stop asking if you're allowed and start simply doing.
This book won't teach you time management or goal-setting. It's a journey and a toolkit for bold living. It will show you how to recognize when you're defaulting to helplessness, how to build the muscle of decisive action, and how to navigate toward a life that's actually yours.
Stop asking permission. Start doing things.

'Through small, decisive actions, you can take control of your life and live the way you want.’ Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author

Coritani
The Coritani were one of the largest tribes in Roman Britain. Their territory stretched over much of what we would now call the East Midlands, from the Nene to the Humber, and from the North Sea to the hills of south Derbyshire. Within this extensive and varied landscape the level of civic achievement varied from the squalor of the native villages in the valley of the Trent to the comparative splendour of the civitas capital at Leicester.Undertaken by the late acclaimed archaeologist and ancient historian Malcolm Todd, this classic study of the tribe is a vital and influential piece of research that continues resonate today.
