The Illuminated Man
‘The best account yet of the life of one of the great English-language writers of the last century.’ – The New World'A brave and moving book' - Adam Sisman, the Guardian‘Fascinating...very timely ...will introduce new readers to a writer Priest rightly calls one of the greatest of the 20th century.’ – Sunday TimesThis book is about J. G. Ballard. This book is also about death, love and time travel. J. G. Ballard possessed one of the most astonishing imaginations of our age, and he had an intense and turbulent history– an experience famously fictionalised in Empire of the Sun. Ballard’s novels are among the finest and most unusual fiction that has ever been published. Whether in the hyper-surrealism of High-Rise or the erotic violence of Crash, he upended the morality and reality of our world. As a young writer, it had been Ballard’s stories, most of all, that had helped cement Christopher Priest’s passion for science fiction. He set out to write a biography that would make people understand what he already knew: that J. G. Ballard wasn’t just a cult writer — he was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. In 2024, Christopher died. He had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the same disease that killed J. G. Ballard — the man whose biography he’d spent his last months working on. When Nina and Christopher first met, they bonded over their love for Ballard’s writing. When it became clear that Christopher would not have time to finish this biography, Nina promised him that she would complete it. If the book began as a tribute from Priest to Ballard, it is now also a love story written by Nina for Christopher. With access to never-before-seen material, The Illuminated Man explores the history and themes of Ballard’s life and – with Ballardian strangeness – celebrates and mourns for those that are gone.

Thistlemarsh
Faeries disappeared over one hundred years ago, as suddenly as slipping through a doorway. It was only the very foolish, or the very determined, who held out hope for their return... In the wake of World War I, the world is a decidedly unmagical place. Mouse Dunne once dreamed of becoming a Faerie anthropologist, but with one telegram, her world shattered. At the Somme, her cousin Bertie’s body disappeared into the mud, and her brother Roger came home with devastating shell shock. It was time, she knew, to put aside childish dreams. Then Mouse receives news that her uncle has left her Thistlemarsh Hall, a crumbling manor in the English countryside, once blessed by the Faerie King himself. But there is a catch: if Mouse does not rehabilitate the house in one month's time, she will forfeit her inheritance and any hope of caring for her brother. It looks impossible, until a mysterious Faerie appears with a proposition. Mouse knows better than to trust a Faerie – especially one so insufferably handsome and arrogant – but she is out of options. There are wild and magical forces at work in the house, and Mouse must confront the ghosts of her past... or lose everything.

Philosophy in the Reformation
In this latest volume of A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps, Peter Adamson presents a lively and accessible introduction to European philosophy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.Philosophy in the Reformation focuses on the parallel and intertwining emergence of humanism and of religious reform, as figures like Erasmus, Luther, and Calvin remade the intellectual and spiritual life of Europe. In the first three parts of the book, philosophical developments in central Europe, France, and Britain are examined. A wide range of topics and controversies are discussed, from debates over free will to the legitimacy of tyrannicide. This was also the time of the Northern Renaissance, which saw a resurgence of ancient concepts like skepticism and atomist theories of matter. The volume''s final section charts the Catholic reaction to these epochal events in the Counter-Reformation, and especially the ideas of Spanish thinkers like Molina and Suárez. Quite a few familiar figures are discussed, such as Montaigne and Copernicus. But as always in this series, Adamson lavishes attention on fascinating figures who are often ignored in the history of philosophy, like John Dee, Robert Fludd, and Oliva Sabuco (who is just one of numerous women intellectuals covered). Another feature of the book is its attention to literature and the arts: the reader will learn how the achievements of Dürer, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, and Cervantes relate to philosophical currents of the time. The eighth volume in the A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps series takes us to the threshold of the early modern era and sets the stage for the developments that unfolded during the Enlightenment.

Every man needs to read this book.'EDEL COFFEY, author of In Her Place~ ~ ~Hungry is the powerful new memoir from Number One bestselling author Katriona O'Sullivan - a raw, courageous exploration of survival, identity and the lifelong search for self-acceptance. Raised in a home marked by poverty, addiction and abuse, Katriona defied the odds: from teenage motherhood struggling with her own addictions to becoming a university professor and successful author. But beneath the achievements lay a more private struggle - with her body, her worth, and the unrelenting drive to be enough. In this fiercely honest memoir, she interrogates how trauma, class and gender shape the way women see themselves - and how society teaches them to measure their value. Told with stunning courage and vulnerability, Hungry is both a personal reckoning and a powerful reclaiming of body, voice and self. It is one woman's story - and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive.

Consumed: How Big Brands Got Us Hooked on Plastic
Over the past seventy years, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Unilever and other consumer goods makers have harnessed single-use plastics to turbocharge their profits. They've poured billions of dollars into convincing us we need disposable diapers, cups, bags, bottles, shampoo in sachets and plastic-packaged ultra-processed foods.
We were never clamouring for any of these items, but this shift towards disposability has fundamentally transformed our daily habits. Think of toddlers kept in disposable diapers for far longer than their parents wore cloth, our obsession with bottled water and our insatiable appetite for convenient snacks and coffee. While at first we shaped plastics, somewhere along the way, plastics took over and began shaping us.
Like any addiction, our plastic habit has consequences. It is damaging our climate and biodiversity and we are only just starting to understand its effect on our own health. How did plastic take over our lives? And why have we been unable to rein it in? In investigating how we got here, Consumed arms us to make better decisions about where we go next. It is only by understanding this history that we will stop accepting the same failed solutions and demand better from the brands that got us hooked on plastic in the first place.
Motherland
Where do we come from? What defines us? And how might knowledge of deep history affect our understanding of our identity?

From hip-hop's origin in traditional African word games to female-led societies, and from Mansa Musa to Chadwick Boseman, this is a personal, relevant and beautifully told account of the stories that have shaped Africa.

Feldúlt Éden
A valóságnál is elképesztőbb történet a Galápagos-szigeteken a 20. század elején, tele szenvedéllyel, tragédiával és rejtéllyel.
A nagy gazdasági világválság idején a Los Angeles-i olajmágnás, George Allan Hancock és a Smithsonian Intézet tudóscsapata a távoli Galápagos egyik szigetén hátborzongató leletre bukkant: két, a perzselő hőségben mumifikálódott holttestre. A szigeten egy európaiakból álló kis közösség telepedett meg. A politikai és gazdasági zűrzavar elől menekültek ide, hogy megteremtsék a maguk paradicsomát. Az apró sérelmek azonban idővel egyre ádázabb összetűzésekké fajultak, és az éden pokollá változott. Abbott Kahler korábban nem publikált archív anyagok felhasználásával tárja fel e különös, Agatha Christie regényeit idéző történetet, amelyet 2024-ben Ron Howard vitt filmvászonra.
„Amikor magához tért a Hacienda mellett vezető ösvényen, friss véraláfutásokat pillantott meg a karján; összeverték, mialatt eszméletlen volt. Feltápászkodott. Nem evett és nem ivott semmit aznap reggel, lángolt a feje a naptól, és hányingertől kavargott a gyomra. Két napig kóborolt a szigeten. Aztán meg sem állt, míg Friedóba nem ért, s most, hogy végre itt van, Doréhoz és Friedrichhez fordul segítségért. Ki akar akasztani egy feliratot a Posta-öbölben, hátha az egyik idelátogató hajó magával viszi.”
Drowning Souls – Whitestone Hospital
Minden, amit egész életemben felépítettem, az összes fal és bástya, a védőpajzsaim – minden a káosz áldozatává válik. Sierra Harris nagy erőfeszítések árán fejezte be orvosi tanulmányait. Most pedig, a Whitestone Hospital rezidens orvosaként, még inkább bizonyítani akarja, hogy többet tud annál, mint amit a vizsgaeredményei mutatnak.
Teljesen a munkájára koncentrál, és nem enged meg magának semmilyen zavaró tényezőt. Igyekszik túllépni a bántalmazó anyjához fűződő fájdalmas kapcsolatán, és elkerülni önfejű és vonzó kollégáját, Mitch Riverát. Ám amikor a kórházban megrendítő baleset történik, a világ egy pillanatra megáll. Sierra az elsők közt érkezik a helyszínre, és a tény, hogy Mitch is a sérültek között van, azonnal kihúzza a talajt a lába alól.
Sierra korábbi szándéka, hogy távol tartsa magától a férfit, és hogy érzelmeit eltemetve haladjon a céljai felé, meginog a traumatikus események sorozatában. Be kell látnia, hogy Mitch már réges-rég belopta magát a gondolataiba – és a szívébe... És bár a maga köré húzott falak megvédik, de a boldogságtól is megfosztják őt.
