Life Immediately

The Visit
AN IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER'Brilliant and intriguing' - Colm Tóibín'An accomplished and atmospheric debut' - Irish Examiner'Outstanding' - Irish Times'Perhaps the strongest Irish debut novel of the year' - RTÉ Book of the Week'An amazing novel' - Oliver Callan"The lad is a bit like a stray dog. I keep an eye on him and throw him a few scraps. There are plenty of people in this town who'd just as soon drop him off in the wilderness and hope there's no scent to follow home. The problem is that Patrick could find his way out of any wilderness and they wouldn't like whatever starved thing came back."Sergeant Jim Field feels a guilty paternalism for Patrick Hatten, a young man struggling to find a job, a life and a purpose in a small-town Wexford community.

When the Going Was Good
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 IN THE INDEPENDENT, GQ, NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES AND BBC CULTURE'Graydon Carter is a brilliant raconteur of his own life...it's a real yarn of a lost world' Marina Hyde, The Rest is EntertainmentWhen the Going Was Good is Graydon Carter's lively recounting of how he made his mark as one of society's most talented editors and shapers of culture. Carter arrived in New York from Canada with little more than a suitcase, a failed literary magazine in his past and a keen sense of ambition. He landed a job at Time, went on to work at Life, co-founded Spy magazine and edited The New York Observer before catching the eye of Condé Nast chairman Si Newhouse, who tapped him to run Vanity Fair. With his inimitable voice and raconteur's quip, Carter brings readers inside the drawing rooms of the great and not-always-good of America, Britain and Europe. He assembled one of the best-ever stables of writers and photographers under one roof, and here he re-creates in real time the steps he took to ensure that Vanity Fair during his 25-year run cemented its place as the epicentre of art, culture, business and politics. Charming, candid and brimming with humour, When the Going Was Good perfectly captures the last golden age of print magazines from the inside out.

Japan's War
'A superbly revealing account of a dreadful and profoundly sad war' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL'This extraordinary book gives us a unique insight into why and how Japan fought such an appalling war' NICK HEWERA new perspective on Japan during the Asia-Pacific War, using remarkable first-hand Japanese source material. Even after eighty years since the end of a conflict that killed thirty-five million people, there remains deeply-felt bitterness and anger about the way the Asia-Pacific War was fought, especially by the Japanese. The war in the East stretched from Hawaii to India - with Japanese forces attacking Singapore, China and Malaysia, as well as bombing the north coast of Australia. The Allied forces, led by the US, waged an island-by-island counteroffensive that eventually saw the invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan has been vilified for the countless examples of its cruelty to civilians and prisoners of war. These criticisms have led to a backlash in Japan, where many deny that the accusations are true. By going back to the origins of modern Japan, and by using only Japanese accounts, Japan's War: Hirohito's Holy War against the West offers a powerful account of the conflict and explains in detail why the Japanese conducted the war in the way that they did.
The Burning of the White House
It's unimaginable today, even for a generation that saw the Twin Towers fall and the Pentagon attacked. It's unimaginable because in 1814 enemies didn't fly overhead, they marched through the streets; and for 26 hours in August, the British enemy marched through Washington, D.C. and set fire to government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Relying on first-hand accounts, historian Jane Hampton Cook weaves together several different narratives to create a vivid, multidimensional account of the burning of Washington, including the escalation that led to it and the immediate aftermath. From James and Dolley Madison to the British admiral who ordered the White House set aflame, historical figures are brought to life through their experience of this unprecedented attack. The Burning of the White House is the story of a city invaded, a presidential family displaced, a nation humbled, and an American spirit that somehow remained unbroken.

The Kingdom of Almonds
Toba and Naftaly have stepped through the Gate of Luz into the mythic world of Aravoth, home to the Ziz, the bird of legend capable of raising the sea. Aravoth—the fabled third realm—is more dizzying and terrifying than Toba or Naftaly could have imagined. Nor had they expected to find someone already there, waiting for them. After barely escaping the burning city of Zayit, Elena and the old woman have a new problem: Barsilay, heir of Luz, is being held for an exorbitant ransom by the paranoid Queen of P'ri Hadar. As Barsilay sits in his dark, demon-inhabited prison cell, he begins to realize the queen is guarding an ancient secret that might be the key to his release. And the tyrant Tarses continues to close in on P’ri Hadar, wielding an army that spans the Mazik and mortal worlds. His newly-powerful visions reveal his most longed-for future—visions that he and Naftaly seem to share. In this triumphant finale, the mirror realms must find their balance or risk being lost altogether.
Mini Tarot de Marseille
A new deluxe miniature edition of the iconic Marseille Tarot• Includes 78 full-color, gilt-edged cards of the classic Tarot de Marseille originating in the early Italian renaissance• The accompanying booklet allows for intuitive, spontaneous readings through a keyword approach for each card, along with different drawing methods and spreads• Features a travel case with magnetic closure that allows for easy handling and enhanced portability of this mini deckOne of the oldest Tarot designs in use, the Marseille Tarot traces back to the card-playing traditions of the early Italian renaissance. Introduced into Southern France at the turn of the 16th century, the deck developed its particular visual style and symbolism during the 1600s and is today seen as a precursor to many modern Tarots. This beautifully designed mini deluxe edition of the Marseille Tarot merges the traditional visual approach with French illustrator Nicolas Galkowski’s distinctive primary color style. Bold, symbolic-rich imagery in the Major Arcana is contrasted with the Minor Arcana’s simpler, abstract displays of the suit symbols. Encased in a sturdy box with magnetic closure, the smaller-sized, gilt-edged cards are easy to handle and display in spreads. The 104-page guidebook provides unique interpretations and various drawing methods and layout spreads. Each card provides three individual key words and a question that help you develop a greater and more intuitive understanding of your reading. Spontaneous, original insights will arise more easily and bring discernment to your questioning. Whether for daily guidance or spiritual exploration, the Mini Tarot de Marseille helps you quickly master its symbolism and apply it to your life with astuteness and clarity.
