Adorned in Dreams
When Adorned in Dreams was first published in 1985, Angela Carter described the book as ‘the best I have read on the subject, bar none.’ From haute couture to haberdashery, and ‘deviant’ dress to Dior, Elizabeth Wilson traces the social and cultural history of fashion and its complex relationship to modernity. From the ‘dress reform’ movement to certain strands of feminism, Wilson delights in the power of fashion to mark out identity - or subvert it. Explore topics including fashion and city life, feminism and fashion, and oppositional dress in this authoritative scholarly text on fashion’s pivotal role in modern society.

A thrilling manhua—mixing adrenaline-packed spaghetti Western and Game of Thrones–type empire drama—Blades (Biao Ren) follows extraordinary swordsman and bounty hunter Dao Ma and his three-year-old son as they take a larger-than-life journey fated to uproot a brutal ancient Chinese empire. It is the third year of Daye (607 CE). The people of Sui Dynasty are living in poverty under the brutal rule of Emperor Yang Guang. In the desert fringes of this empire is a traveling swordsman named Dao Ma. He’s a skilled bounty hunter who hopes to pay off his debt to his foster godfather while looking after his three-year-old son, Xiao Qi. When Dao Ma takes on an escort mission to bodyguard an enigmatic fugitive to the imperial capital Chang’an, he treats it as a simple high-paying job. Little does he know that this client is a dangerous mystic twirling strings that could uproot the empire from its foundations. One of the top bestselling manhua titles in China, Blades of the Guardians’ dramatic, brutal illustrations and tight, intricate plot will leave readers at the edge of their seats.

Living with Lynx
This book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx, wolves and bears again? We travel back in time, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delves deep into the human psyche, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards – and their relationship with humans – along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters from across society, including farmers, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexisting with large carnivores is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail, based on more than 50 interviews from seven countries, Living with Lynx will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature, farming and the countryside. Personal, detailed, unflinching and engaging, it adds a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate.
If I Can Dream
If I Can Dream is a richly detailed biography of English footballing icon Terry Venables, telling the story of his playing career, managerial successes (and failures) and fascinating life away from the pitch. If there was a year when English football exploded into the public consciousness it was 1996. It was the summer when the phrase "Football's coming home" echoed from car radios, when Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne orchestrated England's campaign in the European Championship that captivated a nation. At the centre of it all was Terry Venables, managing England in what, remarkably, was his only international tournament. He was not the most successful man to manage England, but he was unquestionably the most interesting. As a manager and coach, he was startlingly successful. He was 39 when he took Queens Park Rangers to an FA Cup final, 43 when he steered Barcelona to their first La Liga title in a dozen years. An estimated one million people cam on to the city's streets to welcome the team home from the airport. The tributes on his death in 2023 spoke of a man of enormous achievements who might have achieved very much more. In this World Cup summer, with the 30th anniversary of Euro 96, interest in that team and the man at its centre will peak once more. If I Can Dream will feature interviews with every available major figure in Terry Venables’s life.

European Shi?ism
The presence of Sh? te communities in Western Europe dates to the late nineteenth century, with Britain as the primary destination for immigration, as well as notable communities developing in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Exploring selected encounters of Twelver Sh? te Muslims with the European West, this study examines local and transnational religious organization to assess socio-political integration. Its central thesis defines European Sh? sm through peripheral engagement and religious retention. Building on a range of language sources, interviews with Sh? te spokesmen and fieldwork in Iran, Britain, the Netherlands, and Germany, Matthijs van den Bos identifies European Sh? sm with a religious mode of engagement involving hierarchization of collective self and other identities. Sh? te parties with greater distance to high politico-religious authorities abroad are seen more likely to engage in cultural exchange with their European milieu. On one side stand ethnically varied Sh? te organizations with limited engagement of others in Europe. The other shows civic outreach, ritual transformation, and integrationist theology.

Cold War Football
A gargantuan battle for hearts and minds, the Cold War is the supreme example of a 'people's war'. But what did the 'people's game' have to do with it? From Dynamo Moscow's stormy tour of Britain in 1945 to the inaugural Women's World Cup in 1991, Tony Shaw and Alan McDougall chart the clash between capitalism and communism in ten iconic football matches. They take us across Europe, Asia, South America and Africa to uncover football's part in bolstering democracies and dictatorships and in the struggle for influence in the developing world. They show how these matches offered a rare opportunity to see what life was like on 'the other side' of the Iron Curtain, making friends of enemies but also fuelling revolution. Featuring legendary players, goals and on- and off-field controversies, this is a fascinating history of how the Cold War shaped football and how football shaped the Cold War.

Longlisted for the 2026 Brooklyn Public Library Book PrizeA LitHub most anticipated book of 2025‘Exceptionally funny and entertaining’ Katy Hessel, bestselling author of The Story of Art Without Men‘A gorgeous book on being a hater, and I inhaled this in one sitting’ StylistYears after escaping her unbearable artworld friends in New York for a new life in London, an unnamed writer finds herself once more at their dinner table for a single, hideous evening. It’s the day after the funeral of their mutual friend, a failed actress and – Eugene and Nicole, an artist-curator couple – are hosting a dinner party. If the narrator once loved and admired the couple and their important friends, she now despises them all. Most of all, however, she despises herself for being lured back to this cavernous apartment, to this hollow, bourgeois social set, for a dinner party that isn’t even being thrown in their deceased friend’s honour, but in the honour of an up-and-coming actress who is by now several hours late. As the guests sip at their drinks and await the actress’s arrival, the narrator, from her vantage point in the corner seat of a white sofa entertains herself - and us - with a silent, tender, merciless takedown. A satire about friendship, capitalism, culture, and art, Happiness and Love is the razor-sharp new novel from an exciting literary voice. ‘Bracing and funny and fiercely clever’ Orlando Whitfield, Nero-award listed author of All that Glitters‘An ecstatic performance of heightened perception’ Chris Kraus, bestselling author of I Love Dick‘Zeitgeist and timeless, cynical but not soulless.

Távol Louisianától
Az amerikai indián Ischate és a kreol úrihölgy, Suzette sorsa a 18. századi Louisianában fonódik össze, ám társadalmi és kulturális értelemben is egy világ választja el őket egymástól: az indián fiú bölcs harcos, ám a kreolok szemében egyszerű "vadember˝. Ezzel szemben Suzette egy vagyonos New Orleans-i kereskedő lánya, aki gyermekkorától kezdve a társadalmi, erkölcsi és illemszabályok béklyójában él. A két fiatal gyermekkori találkozása mindkettőjük életét örökre megváltoztatja, és ebben a sodró lendületű műben végigkísérhetjük, amint az évtizedek során szembenéznek azon akadályokkal, amelyeket a társadalom és a történelem eléjük gördít. A spanyol szerző, Luz Gabás Planeta-díjjal (2022) jutalmazott regénye több, mint egy szerelmi történet, hiszen a fiatalok viszontagságain keresztül bemutatja az Amerikai Egyesült Államok és Európa történelmének meghatározó időszakát - az amerikai függetlenségi háborútól a francia forradalomig -, s közben olyan fontos fogalmakról gondolkodtat el, mint a hűség, a haza és a szerelem.
