The Transgender Issue
The instant Sunday Times bestseller, updated with a new introduction 'Few books are as urgent as Shon Faye's debut ... Faye has hope for the future - and maybe so should we' Independent'Unsparing, important and weighty ... a vitally needed antidote' Observer'A moving and impressively comprehensive overview of trans life' VogueTrans people in Britain today have become a culture war 'issue'. Despite making up less than one per cent of the country's population, they are the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized 'debate' which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice.In this powerful new book, Shon Faye reclaims the idea of the 'transgender issue' to uncover the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society. In doing so, she provides a compelling, wide-ranging analysis of trans lives from youth to old age, exploring work, family, housing, healthcare, the prison system and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities, in contemporary Britain and beyond.The Transgender Issue is a landmark work that signals the beginning of a new, healthier conversation about trans life. It is a manifesto for change, and a call for justice and solidarity between all marginalized people and minorities. Trans liberation, as Faye sees it, goes to the root of what our society is and what it could be; it offers the possibility of a more just, free and joyful world for all of us.'Fundamentally not a culture-war book. It operates outside the narrow coverage of trans people in the mainstream, and lays bare the inarguable facts' New Statesman'Monumental and utterly convincing - crystal clear in its understanding of how the world should be' Judith Butler

The Lifesavers
A remarkable true story about saving life in wartime, not taking it
'A story destined to be told. A fascinating history of blood for the front line. Humbling, awe inspiring and life affirming.' Sue Black, author of All That Remains The Lifesavers were a little-known band of men and women at the forefront of groundbreaking battlefield care in the Second World War.As part of a new and pioneering service, unconventional and iconoclastic, they pushed and pulled blood from hundreds of thousands of donors into the veins of battle casualties all over the world. Deploying expert teams – officially the smallest units in the British Army – who risked their own lives to reach the wounded and sick, they transformed survival rates with an impact comparable to that of penicillin.Among them were pre-war GPs, conscientious objectors and a communist doctor who had transfused his first casualty in the Spanish Civil War. Prominent was Gladwin Buttle, a larger-than-life dynamo, who, in North Africa, defied shortages by sending blood into the desert in cleaned-out whisky bottles and sterilizing kit with a broken-down steamroller. Directing was Lionel Whitby – ‘the greatest vampire the world has known’ he was called in 1945 – whose own life was saved in 1918 by blood transfused on the Somme.Their skills and innovations saw action in some of the most important battles in recent history, forging lifelines that allies sought to replicate but enemies – to their cost – did not. Some continue to inspire life-saving methods of emergency care today.Bestselling historian Roderick Bailey follows their trailblazing work from the start of the conflict to its end, from Dunkirk and El Alamein to Normandy and the Burmese jungle. Unearthed from rigorous research among diaries, letters and other first-hand accounts, The Lifesavers – a gripping narrative of the Second World War presented from an entirely new angle – tells the full tale for the first time.

Našli jejího tátu viset na provaze v hospodě naproti
Osmá básnická sbírka Ireny Šťastné nese název Našli jejího tátu viset na provaze v hospodě naproti. Nezní jako titul, ale spíše jako věta zaslechnutá někde za dveřmi, šeptem předávána mezi generacemi. A právě tak působí i celá sbírka: jako tiché, precizní zpracování toho, co se nejen v rodinách přenáší mlčením. Kniha je rozdělena do čtrnácti oddílů metaforicky pojmenovaných podle dnů a oken. Dny se proměňují podle podoby oken – od velkých čtvercových přes neotevřené oprýskané okenice až po bezokenné dny nebo dny, kdy se z oken nelze vyklánět. Každý z nich představuje jiný způsob vidění světa i sebe sama. Šťastná s mimořádnou přesností zachycuje prchavé okamžiky, mezilidské odcizení, mateřskou únavu, stárnutí i všudypřítomné vědomí konečnosti. Její úsporný jazyk nechává vyniknout konkrétním detailům, které získávají symbolickou sílu. Krev, syrovátka, plachty nebo vrzající parkety se stávají nositeli paměti, ztráty i křehké naděje. Intimní prostory vlaku, chalupy, zahrady či ložnice přitom nesou tíhu zkušenosti přesahující jejich zdánlivou všednost. Nová sbírka navazuje na autorčinu dlouhodobou poetiku hledání hranic mezi intimním prožitkem a okolním světem. Přináší syrovou a nekompromisní výpověď o lidské křehkosti, paměti rodiny a tíži prožívané každodennosti, kde se minulost neustále prolíná s přítomností. Uhrančivá, rytmicky přesná a intenzivní sbírka, která bude ve čtenářích rezonovat ještě dlouho po dočtení.

Expect nuggets of insight and wisdom, wrapped in the author's trademark warmth and wit' ALAIN DE BOTTON'A remarkable book. The Cultural Tutor is a witty, wide-ranging, and engaging exploration of humanity's shared heritage, from ancient history to modern art.' DONALD ROBERTSONWho does the Mona Lisa actually depict?Why do we still look to the Greeks and Romans to inform our politics?Where do we find meaning in a world dominated by technology?*Culture is like a language. Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it.In 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone. He wrote about poetry, paintings, building design, and counter-intuitive but fascinating facts about history and geography. It wasn’t the sort of content you usually find on a newsfeed – and yet it has flourished, gaining over 1.7 million followers.Taught in forty-nine short lessons – from Babylon to Brutalism, Ronaldo to Ragnarök – Sheehan takes readers on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture. He explores provocative questions (is mythology any different to science?) and uncovers illuminating stories (did you know that the highest paid athlete in history was a Roman charioteer?).This is a witty and thought-provoking exploration of everything you need to know to begin your own adventures in the world of culture and see the everyday wonders around you.
