Dispatches and Dictators
Oregon Book Award Winner for General NonfictionDispatches and Dictators uncovers the fascinating story of Oregon native Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune’s European correspondent, who served in Paris, Rome, Moscow, Berlin, and London in the years between the two world wars. Barnes has been praised by colleagues and competitors alike as one of the best reporters of that pivotal era. But since his death in the 1940 crash of a British bomber in Yugoslavia, he has been largely forgotten. With persistence and unusually keen insight, Ralph Barnes reported on Fascism, Communism, Nazism, and the events leading to World War II. Stalin confined Barnes to Moscow for disclosing that millions were dying during the Soviet collectivization of agriculture, and Hitler expelled Barnes from Germany for predicting the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union. In Dispatches and Dictators, historian Barbara Mahoney chronicles the short life and brilliant career of Ralph Barnes. Her biography of this extraordinary reporter provides new insights into the tumultuous decade leading up to World War II.
Cottagecore Gardens
A home does not end at its doorsteps. Cottagecore Gardens picks up where Cottagecore left off, shifting from interiors to the outdoor spaces that frame and sustain them. Courtyards, edible plots, meadows, and off-grid enclaves reveal a logic shaped by time and care rather than design rules. Loose borders and self-seeded paths speak to gardens that evolve with time and use. Together they embody a broader cultural turn toward slower, more intentional living, where the garden becomes refuge, resource, and extension of home.

The Enchanted April
''To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine. Small medieval castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let For the month of April, above a bay on the Italian Riviera.''Four very different women--the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher, and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester--are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post-war context, a period noted for its wistful and sometimes satiric writings. Von Arnim''s novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanisation and the spread of new technologies, in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally and physically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism, constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity, but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and ''enchanted'' location suggests more than personal recuperation.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Shipped off to India
Signing up for a lifetime in India was a sacrifice, no less for the men than for the women they married. What made that sacrifice worthwhile for the young Richard Temple were qualities now seen as old-fashioned: a belief in God and a sense of purpose, inculcated by the East India College, Haileybury. Convinced it was his duty to do good, he set out to work on behalf of the Company, India and the Indians, all too soon made aware by the tumults of 1857 that the land to which he had committed his life was changing forever. One of the most articulate and energetic men of his generation, he would later, as Sir Richard Temple, serve as Finance Minister, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and Governor of Bombay. Accompany him through the demanding formative years and his tragically brief marriage, until, aged only thirty-six, he was entrusted with sole control of a whole region to govern.

Prokletý deník
Když se autor hororů Thad McAlister pustil do psaní své nejnovější knihy vycházející z čarodějnických procesů v Massachusetts, plynula slova sama od sebe. Příběh se valil vpřed a zaplňoval stránku za stránkou skutky té nejděsivější postavy, kterou jeho představivost kdy stvořila. Bylo to jeho největší dílo, takové, které by mu zajistilo místo mezi legendami žánru.
Šlo však skutečně o fikci?
Neúmyslně otevřel dveře do světa, jenž měl brzy ohrozit životy jeho blízkých.
Ona se chce vrátit.
Jeho žena doma bojuje, aby udržela jejich rodinu naživu. Ve skrytu duše však přemýšlí, zda to vše nezpůsobila sama… obchodem, který uzavřela před dávnou dobou.
ÚRYVEK Z DENÍKU CLAYTONA STONA – 1692
Dnes byla vyslýchána bez mučení v městysi Shadow Cove na základě obvinění z čarodějnictví. Tvrdila, že se toho zločinu nedopustila a nikdy v životě se nezřekla Boha. Díval jsem se, jak ji vyvádějí ven. Ubohou, neduživou bytost, vyčerpanou časem stráveným za zdmi žaláře. Bosé nohy a ruce měla spoutané koženými řemeny, oděv rozervaný na cáry. Navzdory svému stavu šla s hlavou vztyčenou a hleděla svým žalobcům zpříma do očí. Stále odmítá prozradit své jméno, takže nemůžeme vyhledat záznam o jejím křtu, a nemá ani rodinu, jež by předstoupila a označila ji za svou. Nemáme důvod věřit, že je něčím jiným než sirotkem. Shledávám, že na ni ve chvílích předcházejících jejímu procesu nedokáži pohlédnout zpříma. Ona mě však sleduje očima v odstínu té nejtmavší modři.

Wynd 1: Princův let
První kniha čtyřdílné fantasy ságy, která je jako dělaná pro fanoušky Amuletu a Lightfallu
Ve světě, kde se kouzelný původ krutě trestá, musí mladý chlapec jménem Wynd skrývat svou pravou identitu — přestože to znamená, že nikdy nepovede život, po jakém touží. Když je však jeho tajemství ohroženo, opustí svůj domov ve městě Rourov a po boku své nejlepší kamarádky Oakley a následníka trůnu Yorika se vydá na nebezpečnou výpravu, která ho uvrhne doprostřed královského spiknutí. V patách mají tajemného Zafačovaného, vyhlášeného lovce všech kouzelných „divnokrevných“ bytostí.
Nedobrovolné dobrodruhy čeká putování po říši jménem Esseriel, kde kdysi držela nad lidmi ochrannou ruku čtyři větrná božstva. Pak ovšem Bůh Hlubokého lesa stvořil rasy fúrií nebo upírů a lidská království se začala hroutit. A právě tajemství Wyndova původu možná souvisí s osudem celé říše.

Architecture Against Architecture
Architecture, as we know it, is in crisis. The authority of architects is crumbling, their methods no longer tenable. In a highly critical introspection, architect and writer Reinier de Graaf explores the tough choices ahead and the course of action that must follow.
Architecture Against Architecture demands we rethink both how and why we build. With wit and insight, De Graaf lays out the future of the profession, challenging readers to question the fundamental assumptions of the discipline. How do we end the feudal veneration of starchitects? When will architects finally recognize that it is in their own best interest to unionize? Why aren't more practices collectively owned? Why do so many architects over sixty-seven refuse to retire? How do we stop buildings from being copy-righted? What will remain of architecture after AI? What can prevent iconic structures from being embroiled in money laundering? And the vital question: What projects should architects refuse on moral grounds?
Canada in the Age of Rum
Awash in a sea of rum describes the years between the 1670s and the 1830s in the colonies that would later become Canada. Millions of litres of the sugar-based liquor were imported every year to supply a comparatively small population of colonists and Indigenous people. Why rum, and why so muc? um was cheap and plentiful. Intimately connected to the West Indian slave plantation complex, rum shipped to early Canada and around the Atlantic World was part of the early modern expansion of intercontinental trade known as the first globalization. Canada in the Age of Rum shows what happened to the vast quantities that came to Canadian shores. Rum was especially important to workers in the early Canadian staples industries. Fishermen and fur-trade voyageurs drank rum in massive quantities, supplied on credit and at grossly inflated prices by their employers, an arrangement that served to claw back wages and ensure the profitability of enterprises that would not have been viable otherwise. Traders deliberately sought to get hunting peoples hooked on rum in order to ensure a steady supply of pelts – alcohol was not so much a commodity for sale as it was a gift used to induce hunters to conform to the ways of the capitalist economy. However, Indigenous people drank rum in their own ways and for their own reasons; and when drinking became a serious social problem, they organized to resist it. The story ends in the 1830s when the combined effects of the temperance movement and the rise of whisky led to a sharp decline in rum consumption. This brilliant history follows the thread of a single commodity from West Indian plantations to Newfoundland, Quebec, and the west, revealing rum as a critical lubricant of the social life of early Canada and its particular version of early capitalism.
Hanns Eisler and His Circle in Republican Spain
Studies the development and impact of Hanns Eisler's music and Marxist activism in the tensions of 1930s Spain, revealing the interplay of varied influences, ideology and antifascist propaganda. Hanns Eisler in Republican Spain is the first comprehensive study to explore the political, artistic, and intellectual engagements of Hanns Eisler and his circle of Marxist musicians - including the singer Ernst Busch and the musicologist Otto Mayer-Serra - in relation to Spain between 1931 and 1939. The book reconstructs Eisler's collaborations with a broad range of Spanish antifascist organisations, examines the reception of his compositional and theoretical work in Republican Spain, and assesses the deep impact of the Spanish civil war on his vocal and symphonic music. It highlights the influence of key local, national, and international communist structures - notably the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC), the Communist Party of Spain (PCE), and the Comintern (Third International) - on the musical and political projects of Eisler and his circle. Grounded in detailed analysis of an extensive corpus of textual, musical, and press materials - primarily preserved in archives in Spain, Germany, Russia, France, and the United States - this study offers new critical frameworks for understanding the role of Western modernist music in contexts of ideological conflict and war. It provides a fresh perspective on the complex entanglements between antifascist propaganda and musical modernism in the interwar period. Hanns Eisler in Republican Spain makes a vital contribution to scholarship at the intersection of music, exile, propaganda, communism, and antifascism, and more broadly, to the study of how political ideologies shaped music, aesthetics, and musical thought across national boundaries during a pivotal era in twentieth-century European history.

"A világ legkedveltebb mesélőjének sodró története a második esélyről, arról, hogy életünk a lehető legjobb is lehetne.
Charles Vincent-nak látszólag minden megadatott – gyönyörű feleség, vagyon, sikeres karrier. De a fényes lakkréteg elfedte, hogy Charles hiába kereste, nem lelte meg a boldogságot. Élete azonban örökre megváltozik, mikor egy éjszaka a normandiai parti úton autózva egy rettenetes pillanatban lezuhan a sziklafalról.
Csodával határos módon Charles nem hal meg. Sérült és hitehagyott, amikor egy házikóra bukkan, a kedves és szép Aude otthonára. Tüstént egymásba szeretnek. Aude meggyógyítja a férfit, Charles pedig rátalál a szenvedélyre, amely annyira hiányzott az életéből.
Majd rádöbben, hogy nem kell visszamennie. Dönthet úgy is, hogy egyszerűen eltűnik, hogy kilép előző életéből. Mintha a szeszélyes sors új kezdet esélyét kínálná fel. Ám Aude-nak is vannak titkai, és múltjuk kisvártatva mindent fenyegető jelenidővé válik."
Fragments of a Future Scroll
The 50th anniversary edition of a paradigm-shifting work by one of the most important Jewish figures in postwar America. By the time of his death, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (1924–2014), also known as Reb Zalman, had transformed the landscape of Judaism in America. The son of liberal Hasidic Jews, a Holocaust refugee, and a devoted Lubavitcher Hasid, Reb Zalman eventually left the traditional Hasidic fold and committed himself to seeding a mystical Jewish renaissance. An active participant in the counterculture and New Age movements, Reb Zalman began experimenting with different forms of Jewish ritual and contemplative practice—and their intersection with other spiritual traditions—ultimately founding the Jewish Renewal movement. Fragments of a Future Scroll, Reb Zalman's first book, was originally published by a small press in 1975 and, until now, was long out of print. A truly unique book—or "anti-book," as Shaul Magid refers to it in his new introductory essay—Fragments gathers Reb Zalman's first idiosyncratic attempts at articulating a renewed "Hasidism for the Aquarian Age," envisioning Judaism's evolving place and role within an emergent "planetary consciousness." This wild text presents an electrifying weave of sparks, flashes, stories, teachings, and ecstatically lyrical translations of traditional Jewish sources—"spiritual sheet music," as Reb Zalman called it. Full of boundary-breaking wisdom and crackling poetic oddity, Fragments of a Future Scroll is a book for people from all religious and spiritual traditions who are looking to experience the world—and consciousness itself—anew. This historic 50th anniversary edition presents an updated version of the original text, alongside essays by four contemporary Jewish thinkers—Rabbi Shaul Magid, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Rav Jericho Vincent, and Arthur Kurzweil—reflecting on Reb Zalman's enormous impact, and guiding contemporary readers into his paradigm-shifting worldview.
Muskism
Who on earth is Elon Musk and what is he doing? Is he a hero, a villain, or does he swing constantly between those two poles?
According to the constant media gush driven by his every act and pronouncement, Musk is best understood in personal terms. This book argues differently. Rather than seeing Musk as an individual, it sees him as an avatar of something called Muskism: a playbook for our new postliberal age.
It’s not that Musk himself holds a coherent set of beliefs; you could say his life is one long improvisation. And he’s certainly never used the word Muskism – just as, a century ago, Henry Ford never used Fordism to define his own postliberal modernity. In exploring the forces that have shaped Musk, from South Africa to Silicon Valley, Space X to DOGE, Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff outline the motifs and practices that have come to dominate our own crisis-ridden world.
Muskism, they show, speaks the language of crisis and emergency to invoke a less human future: where humans are purged from the productive process and, through social media and video games, merged with the machine. This is a worldview in which the technocrat is king; which piggybacks on the state to achieve supremacy; and in which only a select few deserve salvation. If you enter, this book warns you, you will grind and you will live in the shadow of one man – but the rewards could be priceless and the alternative might be extinction.
