The Path More Travelled
'Absorbing and exhilarating . . . This book will literally expand your horizons' MICHAEL PALIN'A panoptic, deeply researched and compelling history of our nation' PATRICK BARKHAMA fascinating, immersive history of Britain's footpaths and routeways from the Mesolithic era to the present day - from the acclaimed geographer and author of The Making of the British Landscape'A book to read and savour at home, and then stow in the backpack alongside thermos, sandwiches and an Ordnance Survey map' PETROC TRELAWNYWalking defines us as human beings. But how much do we know about the paths that we walk? Why do they matter? What caused so many to be lost? 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. Along the way, Crane takes the reader on some of his most memorable walks: along the Hadrian's Wall Path, into the icy Cairngorms and to the banks of the Severn where he discovers footprints from over 7,000 years ago. The Path More Travelled is a passionate ode to walking - and a call to rediscover and protect the lifeblood of our landscapes. 'Wonderfully immersive and full of fascinating detail' FIONA ROBERTSON'Evocative, beautifully written and witty, it is also a passionate statement on the human freedom to roam' VANESSA TAYLOR

The Danger to be Sane

Montero finds that ‘deviance’ is often just a more truthful account of normal human behavior." —Chris KrausA dazzling journey into the eccentric, troubled, and luminous minds that shaped literature. In this bold, personal, and deeply researched blend of memoir, essay, literary analysis, psychological reflection, and intellectual sleuth story, Montero draws on psychology, neuroscience, creative literature, and the testimonies and biographies of authors and artists to weave a fascinating narrative on the connection between creativity and mental instability. With intelligence, generosity, and narrative élan, Montero brings to life figures such as Franz Kafka, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Marcel Proust, Joseph Conrad, and Doris Lessing, painting a fresco of the ways in which the brain works, its quirks and dark corners. She breaks down the forces that influence creativity and miraculously reassembles them before the reader’s eyes over three hundred gripping pages. Like a masterfully plotted detective story, each clue leads readers one step closer to new definitions of both the creative act and of what is and is not “normal.” Blending intimate memoir with wide-ranging cultural history, The Danger to Be Sane is a moving and inspirational homage to minds and lives that are outside of the mean. ’Twas a Divine Insanity— The Danger to be Sane From Emily Dickinson, Poem 593

A Song I Wrote For Charlotte
Get ready to meet a truly one-of-a-kind heroine: Connie Moore.
Connie Moore has never failed at anything. That is until the Royal Academy of Music decide her piano playing isn’t good enough and she finds herself pursuing her back-up plan: moving into student halls to study English Literature. With her grandmother piling on the pressure and her father’s absence weighing on her, she knows she has to stay focused this year – mediocrity must be avoided at all costs.
Just across the corridor, Music Production student Charlotte Owen has other ideas. Sweet, sociable and not a girl who takes no for an answer, Charlotte drags Connie determinedly into university life. As an unlikely friendship blossoms between them, Connie begins to wonder if there’s something more to the way she feels about Charlotte – and, even more terrifyingly, whether there’s something more to the way Charlotte feels about her.
But Charlotte isn’t the kind of person you can hold on to forever. And Connie might have to consider whether the life that Charlotte has built for her is one that she can sustain alone.
Modlíme sa s Vincentom de Paul
„Štyri storočia po založení Misijnej spoločnosti niet pochýb o tom, že charizma svätého Vincenta de Paul naďalej obohacuje Cirkev prostredníctvom rôznych apoštolátov a dobrých skutkov celej Vincentínskej rodiny. Dúfam, že oslavy 400. výročia založenia zdôraznia význam koncepcie svätého Vincenta o službe Kristovi v chudobných pre obnovu Cirkvi našich čias, v misionárskom učeníctve a v pomoci núdznym a opusteným na mnohých perifériách nášho sveta a na okraji povrchnej kultúry typu „použi a zahoď'."
— pápež František
„Vincent de Paul na vlastnej koži pocítil silný kontrast medzi najbohatšími a najchudobnejšími. Ako kňaz mal totiž možnosť pohybovať sa v aristokratických kruhoch, na vidieku, ale aj na periférii Paríža 17. storočia. Poháňaný Kristovou láskou dokázal zorganizovať stabilné formy pomoci margina-lizovaným ľuďom a založil takzvané „Charités", teda skupiny žien, ktoré venovali svoj čas a majetok tým najbiednejším. Niektoré z týchto dobrovoľ-níčok sa rozhodli úplne zasvätiť Bohu a chudobným, a tak spolu so svätou Luisou de Marillac založil svätý Vincent „Dcéry kresťanskej lásky", prvú ženskú spoločnosť, ktorá žila zasvätenie „vo svete" - medzi ľuďmi, s chorými a núdznymi."
— pápež Benedikt XVI.
„Sv. Vincent bol muž činu. Ja v ňom ale vidím aj muža trpezlivosti, lebo dokázal trpezlivo čakať na svoju príležitosť. Chcel vždy plniť Božiu a nie svoju vôľu. Príklad našiel v Ježišovi Kristovi. Boh práve skrze neho vyjadruje trpezlivosť so svetom. A to si uvedomoval aj sv. Vincent. Preto aj v dnešných časoch nám je veľkým príkladom."
— P. Róbert Bednár, CM
„Svätý Vincent ma najviac oslovil svojou dobrotou voči všetkým ľuďom, s ktorými sa stretol. Nežil len pre seba, ale chcel sa rozdať bratom a sestrám v Kristovi. Je to niečo veľké, keďčlovek myslí na druhých a nie na seba."
— fr. Ján Zemanovič, CM
Audition
One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilising novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love
Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young – young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner, parent, creator, muse – and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.
Taut and hypnotic, Audition is Katie Kitamura at her virtuosic best.
