Searching for Normal
A Sunday Times Book of the Year'A welcome antidote to the dangerous cult of overdiagnosis and the commodification of normal distress' PHILIPPA PERRYHow can we reconsider the way in which we think about, treat and care for those in distres? ore and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders. Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world. Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treate? n Searching for Normal, Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole – their family context, their culture, their personal resilience – and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.
Happiness
Happiness is the second part of Yuri Felsen’s The Recurrence of Things Past trilogy, following the critically acclaimed Deceit. Both subtle and profound in its exploration of love, art, literature, and human frailty, Felsen’s trilogy traces the tormented romance of its protagonist alongside his artistic evolution, standing at the forefront of aesthetic and philosophical currents in European modernism.
Syracuse
Syracuse, on the eastern coast of Sicily, was one of the great cities of the ancient Mediterranean: a place of brute power, dazzling culture, and vivid myth. Here, tyrants waged wars and built vast palaces, Aeschylus staged tragedies, Plato hoped to create his ideal ‘philosopher king’, and the nymph Arethusa, transformed into water, lived on as a spring fringed with papyrus. Moving to the city after a bereavement, the poet Joachim Sartorius discovers a place of haunting and haunted beauty, where the layers of the past are always visible. At his side we wander with demigods and generals through the old town of Ortigia and meet the people of the present-day city: its artists and police officers, café owners and barbers, barons and refugees. Unravelling the threads of Sicilian history, Sartorius explores the city’s mingling of ancient and modern, Greek and Arab, medieval and baroque, creating a portrait of a city inseparably entwined with its past.
A Road for All Seasons
A journey of 6,518 miles, that filled 14 notebooks and encompassed all 4 countries of the United Kingdom, travelling through 42 out of its 95 counties, visiting 23 cities; requiring 75 trains, 60 maps, 26 cars, 16 buses, 9 ferries, 4 tubes, 4 uber taxis, 4 black cabs, 2 DLR, 2 vans, a canal boat, a probation service minibus, an intercontinental articulated lorry, a 1953 Morris Oxford and a pair of size 9 boots ... A tumultuous period in British politics left writer Harry Bucknall questioning whether he really knew the place he called home. Propelled by a growing desire to better understand his island nation, Harry decided to undertake a pilgrimage of sorts; he embarked on a series of four walks across Britain that would mirror the changing seasons, covering a distance of nearly 1,600 miles.From fresh and heady spring through to the gloriously crisp winter months, Harry journeyed across Britain visiting cities, towns and vast swathes of the countryside from Mull to Sunderland and Aberystwyth to Lowestoft, meeting a host of diverse and charismatic characters along the way as he strove to uncover the beating heart of the nation. Uplifting, joyous and charming, A Road for All Seasons is a vivid, social and cultural snapshot of 21st-century Britain. Focusing as much on the beauty of the fertile land as the people who inhabit it, it explores a unique culture, its folklore both past and present, as well as the wealth of the nation''s history and heritage. Exquisitely written and filled with delightful people and places, this is Harry''s ardent tribute to the British Isles.
Perlička na dně
Prostí lidé, na první pohled nijak zajímaví, vyprávějí své zážitky, přehánějí, improvizují, baví se vymýšlením a vzpomínáním, prostě „pábí“. Hovorovým jazykem se spoustou slangových výrazů zachycuje autor život z často „odvrácené strany“ a v lidech z takzvaného společenského dna nachází onu pověstnou „perličku na dně“ a proniká tak k pravému, i když v hrubé skořápce ukrytému jádru lidí. Svěžím a objevným vyprávěním dokáže Hrabal přenést vzrušení z nevyčerpatelnosti a krásy života i na čtenáře.

The Little Prince
Meet the original Boy Who Fell to Earth. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, an aircraft pilot meets a strange little boy who tells him of his journey from another world.
The Little Prince, by the French writer, illustrator, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was written and published during the Second World War, to immediate acclaim, and its classic status has been embraced ever since. Whether as a children's fairy tale or an existentialist fable, religious parable or political allegory, the "secret treasure" of its complex simplicity has only unfolded further truths over the years, like the petals of the precious flower of friendship it celebrates.
Vividly realized here, for yet another new generation, by the award-winning graphic novelist Joann Sfar, this stunning adaptation celebrates the 80th anniversary of its French edition, and confirms its wisdom of ages: that life (and love) can be hard; that "grown-ups are very strange"; and that our precious planet is intrinsic with our universal Nature.
De Saint-Exupéry's aircraft disappeared in the wartime skies over the Mediterranean in July 1944, and his death has remained a mystery ever since. "The only reason to speak in riddles," he wrote, in his prophetic masterpiece, "is to solve them."
Goodnight Digger
"Goodnight digger, time to sleep."
Join a little boy as he says goodnight to all of his toys in this playful and soothing story, now available as a board book.
Sending little ones to sleep for generations, this beloved story is packed with delightful illustrations, large easy-to-read text and gentle rhymes.

Pohled z kabiny
Co všechno zažije člověk, který tráví život mezi dálničními kilometry, parkovišti a nekonečným tichem kabiny kamionu?
Kniha o životě na cestě – ale taky o hledání smyslu, pravdy a vlastního směru. Autor vás bez příkras zve přímo k sobě do kabiny. Mezi kávou z benzínky, nočními přejezdy hranic a únavou, která se nedá obejít, vznikají texty o lásce, samotě, víře, pádech i znovunalezené síle.
Nejde o klasické vyprávění. Kniha kombinuje osobní zpověď, krátké příběhy, poetické texty i provokativní úvahy o světě, systému, manipulaci a svobodě člověka. Místy vás rozesměje, jinde znejistí, někde vás možná i vytočí – ale nenechá vás chladnými. Autor otevřeně přiznává, kde končí realita a kde začíná fantazie. A právě tam vzniká prostor k zamyšlení.
Pohled z kabiny je kniha pro ty, kteří mají pocit, že se svět zrychlil až příliš. Pro ty, kdo se nebojí jiného pohledu. A pro všechny, kteří cítí, že život není jen o cíli – ale o cestě.
Protože kormidlo svého života držíš v rukou jen ty sám.

The Bewitching
'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.
In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.
Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.
