New York Times Bestseller ""There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it.” —Lisa Taddeo, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Three Women “Dolly Alderton has always been a sparkling Roman candle of talent. She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough. Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.

Everything I Know About Love

Il capolavoro di Marguerite Yourcenar unisce al cesello perfetto della ricostruzione storica il coraggio di presentare a tutto tondo un grand'uomo, l'altezza del suo pensiero, la disponibilità intellettuale, le intuizioni profetiche, donandoci non già un saggio erudito, ma un libro dei giorni nostri, e dei giorni a venire. Perché, come ha scritto la Yourcenar, «non siamo i soli a guardare in faccia un avvenire inesorabile». I Taccuini di appunti dell'autrice (annotazioni di studio, lampi di autobiografia, ricordi, vicissitudini della scrittura) perfezionano la conoscenza di un'opera che fu pensata, composta, smarrita, corretta per quasi un trentennio. La nota della traduttrice, Lidia Storoni Mazzolani, ci regala la storia di un'amicizia nata lavorando alla versione italiana. Con la cronologia della vita e delle opere e la bibliografia essenziale.

Memorie di Adriano

Shantaram

È il tardo pomeriggio del 4 gennaio 2021, quando nella tranquilla città di Bolzano si perdono le tracce di Peter Neumair e Laura Perselli. A denunciarne la scomparsa, il giorno dopo, è il figlio Benno. Da quel momento il trentenne, all'apparenza gentile e collaborativo, mette in atto un'impressionante serie di depistaggi, mentendo e manipolando. Costruisce nei giorni una sequenza di bugie, raccontate ai giornalisti così come ai suoi parenti. Bugie raccolte e smascherate anche con questa inchiesta, confluita nel fascicolo di indagine degli inquirenti. Come inviato della trasmissione Quarto Grado, Matteo Macuglia si troverà, a partire da quei primi giorni di gennaio, a seguire le tracce dei protagonisti, incontrando più volte Benno e l'altra figlia dei coniugi Neumair, Madé, e ad assistere alle ricerche dei corpi prima e al processo dopo. Una storia controversa come controverso sarà il dibattimento tra difesa e pubblici ministeri. Di questa violenta vicenda, rimangono le macerie di quanto accaduto nell'appartamento al secondo piano di via Castel Roncolo; un ergastolo che cancella ogni futuro possibile per colui che si è macchiato del più atroce dei delitti; il futuro di una figlia che prova a rifarsi una vita dopo aver perso ciò che aveva di più caro al mondo; due esistenze spazzate via, impossibili da riparare. E resta questo racconto, a ricordarci quanto il male possa annidarsi tra le pieghe delle nostre relazioni più care, e rimanere in attesa di colpire per anni, cancellando ogni cosa in un ultimo, estremo tentativo di sopraffazione.

Il male dentro

Read by the author, Michelle Zauner, lead vocalist of Japanese Breakfast. 'A story that is both beautiful and heartbreaking; it is as raw as it is precious. I bawled my eyes out, but I also loved it and I hope you do too.' – Dua Lipa From the indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity. 'Incredible . . . It absolutely wrecked me . . . So, so emotional' – Natalie Portman 'Crying In H Mart destroyed me . . . It’s fantastic.' – Olivia Rodrigo 'As good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't' – Marie Claire In this story of family and food, grief and joy, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school; of struggling with her mother’s expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother’s diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Vivacious and honest, Michelle Zauner’s voice is as alive as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes, Crying in H Mart is an audiobook to cherish and share. What readers are saying about Crying in H Mart: 'I recommend this for anyone who likes memoirs, food, and who’s ever felt lonely.' (Five Stars) 'I was captivated by this coming-of-age story which resonated with mine and other friends' stories.' (Five Stars) 'A must for people looking to be hooked in memories that span between joy, sadness and love.' (Five Stars) *Crying in H Mart was a #1 New York Times bestseller w/c 17.04.2023

* #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD! A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants. Told with refreshing candor and dark humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.

Paulo Coelho inspired millions of readers around the world and became one of the most beloved storytellers of our time with the international bestselling phenomenon The Alchemist. Now, in the beloved companion to his classic, The Warrior of The Light: A Manual invites us to live out our dreams to embrace the uncertainty of life, and to rise to our own unique destiny. In his inimitable style, Paulo Coelho shows readers how to embark upon the way of the Warrior: the one who appreciates the miracle of being alive, the one who accepts failure, and the one whose quest leads him to become the person he wants to be.

Warrior of the Light

He is one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court – but from early childhood Andre Agassi hated the game. Coaxed to swing a racket while still in the crib, forced to hit hundreds of balls a day while still in grade school, Agassi resented the constant pressure even as he drove himself to become a prodigy, an inner conflict that would define him. Now, in his beautiful, haunting autobiography, Agassi tells the story of a life framed by such conflicts. Agassi makes us feel his panic as an undersized seven-year-old in Las Vegas, practicing all day under the obsessive gaze of his violent father. We see him at thirteen, banished to a Florida tennis camp. Lonely, scared, a ninth-grade dropout, he rebels in ways that will soon make him a 1980s icon. By the time he turns pro at sixteen, his new look promises to change tennis forever, as does his lightning fast return. And yet, despite his raw talent, he struggles early on. We feel his confusion as he loses to the world's best, his greater confusion as he starts to win. After stumbling in three Grand Slam finals, Agassi shocks the world, and himself, by capturing the 1992 Wimbledon. Overnight he becomes a fan favorite and a media target. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match, and every public relationship. Alongside vivid portraits of rivals, Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He reveals the depression that shatters his confidence, and the mistake that nearly costs him everything. Finally, he recounts his spectacular resurrection and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf. With its breakneck tempo and raw candor, Open will be read and cherished for years. A treat for ardent fans, it will also captivate readers who know nothing about tennis. Like Agassi's game, it sets a new standard for grace, style, speed and power.

‘Enlightening, moving’ SIR IAN MCKELLENFrom the acclaimed and bestselling biographer Jonathan Bate, a luminous new exploration of Shakespeare and how his themes can untangle comedy and tragedy, learning and loving in our modern lives. ‘The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.’ How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind? Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own ‘permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life – losses and challenges – and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times. This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another.

Now a major motion picture starring Jim Parsons! A “heartbreaking but surprisingly hilarious memoir” (People) about the lessons, love, and laughter of the fourteen years a respected TV columnist shared with his late husband before he succumbed to cancer. For over a decade, TV fans have counted upon Michael Ausiello’s insider knowledge to get the scoop on their favorite shows and stars. From his time at Soaps In Depth and Entertainment Tonight to his influential stints at TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly to his current role as cofounder of the wildly popular website TVLine, Michael has established himself as the go-to expert when it comes to our most popular form of entertainment. What many of his fans don’t know, however, is that while his professional life was in full swing, Michael had to endure the greatest of personal tragedies: his longtime boyfriend, Kit Cowan, was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer. Over the course of eleven months, Kit and Michael did their best to combat the deadly disease, but Kit succumbed to his illness in 2015. In this heartbreaking and darkly hilarious memoir, Michael tells the story of his harrowing and challenging last year with Kit while revisiting the thirteen years that preceded it, and how the undeniably powerful bond between him and Kit carried them through all manner of difficulties—always with laughter front and center in their relationship. “Engrossing, poignant, tragic, and hilarious” (Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies is “a story about love and loss, joy and heartbreak. And in the midst of personal turmoil, we learn that bravery comes in many forms” (The Washington Post).

Dopo decenni di letture contrapposte, Controvento vuole raccontare il “vero” Craxi, l’ultimo leader della Prima Repubblica. Una figura che “parla” alla politica dei nostri giorni con la sua lunga gavetta, diversa dalle fulminee ascese di tempi più recenti: Craxi impiegò 24 anni prima di diventare segretario del Psi, un apprendistato che lo aiuterà a guidare uno dei governi più longevi dell’Italia repubblicana. Volle la migliore élite del Paese e prese decisioni impopolari, contribuendo all’ultima stagione di crescita dell’Italia. Leader accentratore e controverso, non fu mai populista. Fabio Martini getta nuova luce su molte pagine oscurate o inedite della vicenda politica e umana di Craxi: il no a Cuccia che gli propose l’appoggio dei poteri forti; i soldi che diede ai movimenti di liberazione dalle dittature; una task force segreta per liberare Moro; il piano riservato, offertogli sottobanco, affinché si curasse in Italia e che rifiutò dicendo: “Torno solo da uomo libero”.

Alessandro Barbero segue Dante nella sua adolescenza di figlio d’un usuraio che sogna di appartenere al mondo dei nobili e dei letterati; nei corridoi oscuri della politica, dove gli ideali si infrangono davanti alla realtà meschina degli odi di partito e della corruzione dilagante; nei vagabondaggi dell’esiliato che scopre l’incredibile varietà dell’Italia del Trecento, fra metropoli commerciali e corti cavalleresche. Il libro affronta anche le lacune e i silenzi che rendono incerta la ricostruzione di interi periodi della vita di Dante, presentando gli argomenti pro e contro le diverse ipotesi e permettendo a chi legge di farsi una propria idea.

La sacerdotessa del rock ripercorre i sentieri che dall'infanzia a Chicago la portano a New York dove incontra Robert Mapplethorpe, fotografo estremo che con lei intreccia un cammino di arte, di devozione e di iniziazione. Insieme scoprono che rock, politica e sesso sono gli ingredienti essenziali della rivoluzione a venire. Il vero collante tra Patti e Robert è l'amicizia. Un'amicizia rara, pura, preziosa. Un patto esplicito di reciproco sostegno, fondato sulla condivisione di sogni, di visioni, di idee. Di arte. La confessione di una delle più grandi protagoniste del rock americano, di un'originale poetessa, di una musa, di una donna che ha saputo vivere ai margini delle convenzioni.

Per volontà di papa Francesco questo eccezionale documento avrebbe dovuto in un primo momento vedere la luce solo dopo la sua morte. Ma il nuovo Giubileo della Speranza e le esigenze del tempo lo hanno risolto a diffondere ora questa preziosa eredità. SPERA è la prima autobiografia mai pubblicata da un papa nella storia. Un'autobiografia completa, la cui stesura ha impegnato gli ultimi sei anni, che procede dai primi del Novecento, con le radici italiane e l'avventurosa emigrazione in America Latina degli avi, per svilupparsi attraverso l'infanzia, gli entusiasmi e i turbamenti della giovinezza, la scelta vocazionale, la maturità, fino a coprire l'intero pontificato e il tempo presente. Nel raccontare con intima forza narrativa le sue memorie (non tralasciando affatto le proprie passioni), Francesco affronta senza alcuna dissolvenza anche i nodi cruciali del pontificato e sviluppa con coraggio, schiettezza e profezia i più importanti e dibattuti temi della nostra contemporaneità: guerra e pace (compresi i conflitti in Ucraina e Medio Oriente), migrazioni, crisi ambientale, politica sociale, condizione femminile, sessualità, sviluppo tecnologico, futuro della Chiesa e delle religioni. Ricco di rivelazioni, di aneddoti, di illuminanti riflessioni, un memoir emozionante e umanissimo, commovente e capace di umorismo, che rappresenta il "romanzo di una vita" e al tempo stesso un testamento morale e spirituale destinato ad affascinare i lettori di tutto il mondo e a incarnare il suo lascito di speranza per le generazioni future. Il volume è arricchito da alcune straordinarie fotografie, anche private e inedite, provenienti dalla disponibilità personale di papa Francesco.

Scandito in tre parti – «Le vittime», «Gli imputati», «La corte» –, V13 raccoglie, rielaborati e accresciuti, gli articoli in cui Emmanuel Carrère ha riferito le udienze del processo ai complici e all’unico sopravvissuto fra gli autori degli attentati terroristici avvenuti a Parigi il 13 novembre 2015 – attentati che, tra il Bataclan, lo Stade de France e i bistrot presi di mira, hanno causato centotrenta morti e oltre trecentocinquanta feriti. Ogni mattina, per quasi dieci mesi, Carrère ha ascoltato il resoconto di quelle «esperienze estreme di morte e di vita» e lo ha raccontato, come solo lui sa fare.

"Questo libro raccoglie alcune cose che ho imparato in tanti anni di professione, di incontri, di esperienze, di libri letti e scritti, di speranze e delusioni..." Così Piero Angela riassume e spiega la sua ultima fatica, un testo scritto di getto e nato dall'urgenza del momento, e dalle enormi sfide che ci attendono. Un lascito morale, dopo una lunghissima carriera al servizio dell'informazione e della formazione di generazioni di italiani. "Com'è possibile" si chiede in queste pagine "che un paese come l'Italia, che ha marcato profondamente per secoli il cammino della civiltà, oggi sia così in difficoltà, e abbia perso le sue luci?" La risposta è in dieci semplici capitoli, dieci aree critiche su cui occorre agire. Per oltre cinquant'anni Piero Angela si è occupato a tempo pieno di scienza, tecnologia, ambiente, informazione, energia, televisione, comportamenti, e ha scritto Dieci cose che ho imparato per condividere con i lettori alcune proposte, frutto della sua lunga esperienza sul campo. Con questo libro, a cui ha lavorato fino all'ultimo, colui che è stato per tutti il volto rassicurante della scienza ha voluto dirci come usarla per migliorare le cose. Per rilanciare l'Italia con una nuova visione.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY PRIZE THE SUNDAY TIMES NO.2 BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE BMA PRESIDENT’S AWARD 2017 An incredible memoir from one of the world’s most eminent heart surgeons, recalling some of the most remarkable and poignant cases he’s worked on. Grim Reaper sits on the heart surgeon’s shoulder. A slip of the hand and life ebbs away. The balance between life and death is so delicate, and the heart surgeon walks that rope between the two. In the operating room there is no time for doubt. It is flesh, blood, rib-retractors and pumping the vital organ with your bare hand to squeeze the life back into it. An off-day can have dire consequences – this job has a steep learning curve, and the cost is measured in human life. Cardiac surgery is not for the faint of heart.

The Letters of Jane Austen was published in 1892. This collection includes a selection of Jane Austen's letters, collected by Austen's great-nephew, Edward, Lord Brabourne. The letters are mostly addressed to Austen's sister Cassandra, with whom she was very close. There are also some letters written to two of her nieces, Anna Austen Lefroy and Fanny Knight. They include some references to her published work, including Sense and Sensibility (abbreviated "S and S"), Pride and Prejudice (also called First Impressions, or P and P), Mansfield Park ("MP") and Emma. They are also replete with details about her family life, including the extended families and careers of her brothers, James, Edward, Frank, Henry, and Charles. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818. In 1994, American literary critic Harold Bloom placed Austen among the greatest Western Writers of all time. In a 2002 poll to determine whom the UK public considers the greatest British people in history, Austen was ranked number 70 in the list of the "100 Greatest Britons". In 2003, Austen's Pride and Prejudice came second in the BBC's The Big Read, a national poll to find the "Nation's best-loved book."

In "Mark Twain's Burlesque Autobiography," Twain employs a satirical lens to dissect the conventions of autobiography, merging humor with incisive social commentary. Written in a playful, exaggerated style, the work parodies traditional narrative structures while reflecting Twain'Äôs keen observations of human nature and American society. His unique voice evokes rich imagery and playful diction, blending fact with absurdity, thus creating an entertaining yet insightful critique of autobiographical writing and its often self-aggrandizing tendencies. Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, emerged as a premier voice in American literature during the 19th century, his early experiences on the Mississippi River and insights into American life deeply inspiring his writing. Known for his wit and critical stance on society and politics, Twain's ability to blend humor with serious critique is powerfully demonstrated in this work. His life experiences, from his rural upbringing to his adventures as a riverboat pilot, all contribute to his distinctive narrative style and thematic depth. This book is not only a must-read for Twain enthusiasts but also for anyone interested in the evolution of autobiographical literature. It invites readers to laugh while reflecting on the nature of self-representation and the truths we weave into our own narratives. Twain'Äôs burlesque approach will captivate anyone who appreciates a good story and a clever twist.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, and culminates with his self-exile from Ireland in Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses. The early youth of Stephen Dedalus is recounted at a vocabulary level of Stephen's own as he grows, in a voice not his own but sensitive to his feelings. The reader experiences Stephen's fears and bewilderment as he comes to terms with the world in a series of disjointed episodes. Stephen attends school at Jesuit-run Clongowes Wood College, where the apprehensive, intellectually gifted boy suffers the ridicule of his classmates while he learns the schoolboy codes of behaviour. While he cannot grasp their significance, at a Christmas dinner he is witness to the social, political, and religious tensions in Ireland involving Charles Stewart Parnell that drives bitter wedges between members of his family, leaving Stephen with doubts over which social institutions he can place his faith in.[16] Back at Clongowes, word spreads that a number of older boys have been caught "smugging"; discipline is tightened, and the Jesuits increase use of corporal punishment. Stephen is strapped when one of his instructors believes he has broken his glasses to avoid studying; prodded by his classmates, Stephen works up the courage to complain to the rector Father Conmee, who assures him there will be no such recurrence, leaving Stephen with a sense of triumph.

From a celebrated figure of the food world comes a poignant, provocative memoir about being young and gay during the 1970s punk revolution in America Long before James Oseland was a judge on Top Chef Masters, he was a teenage rebel growing up in the pre–Silicon Valley, California, suburbs, yearning for a taste of something wild. Diving headfirst into the churning mayhem of the punk movement, he renamed himself Jimmy Neurosis and embarked on a journey into a vibrant underground world populated by visionary musicians and artists.

*Read by Alan Cumming himself* NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In his unique and engaging voice, the acclaimed actor of stage and screen shares the emotional story of his complicated relationship with his father and the deeply buried family secrets that shaped his life and career. A beloved star of stage, television, and film—“one of the most fun people in show business” (Time magazine)—Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood. When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father. With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland, his experiences today as a film, television, and theater star, and the shocking revelations uncovered while investigating his family’s past. Equal parts memoir, family mystery, and tale of resilience, Not My Father’s Son is at times suspenseful, deeply moving, and wickedly funny—sure to make readers laugh even as it breaks their hearts.

Not My Father's Son

A raw and tenderly funny look at the human-cat relationship, from one of our most treasured and transgressive writers. “The cat is the beautiful devil.” Felines touched a vulnerable spot in Charles Bukowski’s crusty soul. For the writer, there was something majestic and elemental about these inscrutable creatures he admired, sentient beings whose searing gaze could penetrate deep into our being. Bukowski considered cats to be unique forces of nature, elusive emissaries of beauty and love. On Cats offers Bukowski’s musings on these beloved animals and their toughness and resiliency. He honors them as fighters, hunters, survivors who command awe and respect as they grip tightly onto the world around them: “A cat is only ITSELF, representative of the strong forces of life that won’t let go.” Funny, moving, tough, and caring, On Cats brings together the acclaimed writer’s reflections on these animals he so admired. Bukowski’s cats are fierce and demanding—he captures them stalking their prey; crawling across his typewritten pages; waking him up with claws across the face. But they are also affectionate and giving, sources of inspiration and gentle, insistent care. Poignant yet free of treacle, On Cats is an illuminating portrait of this one-of-a-kind artist and his unique view of the world, witnessed through his relationship with the animals he considered his most profound teachers.

‘A uniquely strange and wonderful work of literature’ Philip Hoare ‘An exciting new voice’ Mark Cocker, author of Crow Country In his late thirties, Edward Parnell found himself trapped in the recurring nightmare of a family tragedy. For comfort, he turned to his bookshelves, back to the ghost stories that obsessed him as a boy, and to the writers through the ages who have attempted to confront what comes after death. In Ghostland, Parnell goes in search of the ‘sequestered places’ of the British Isles, our lonely moors, our moss-covered cemeteries, our stark shores and our folkloric woodlands. He explores how these landscapes conjured and shaped a kaleidoscopic spectrum of literature and cinema, from the ghost stories and weird fiction of M. R. James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood to the children’s fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper; from W. G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn and Graham Swift’s Waterland to the archetypal ‘folk horror’ film The Wicker Man… Ghostland is Parnell’s moving exploration of what has haunted our writers and artists – and what is haunting him. It is a unique and elegiac meditation on grief, memory and longing, and of the redemptive power of stories and nature.

Written with the raw honesty and poignant insight that were the hallmarks of her acclaimed bestseller A Widow’s Story, an affecting and observant memoir of growing up from one of our finest and most beloved literary masters. The Lost Landscape is Joyce Carol Oates’ vivid chronicle of her hardscrabble childhood in rural western New York State. From memories of her relatives, to those of a charming bond with a special red hen on her family farm; from her first friendships to her earliest experiences with death, The Lost Landscape is a powerful evocation of the romance of childhood, and its indelible influence on the woman and the writer she would become. In this exceptionally candid, moving, and richly reflective account, Oates explores the world through the eyes of her younger self, an imaginative girl eager to tell stories about the world and the people she meets. While reading Alice in Wonderland changed a young Joyce forever and inspired her to view life as a series of endless adventures, growing up on a farm taught her harsh lessons about sacrifice, hard work, and loss. With searing detail and an acutely perceptive eye, Oates renders her memories and emotions with exquisite precision, transporting us to a forgotten place and time—the lost landscape of her youth, reminding us of the forgotten landscapes of our own earliest lives.

With poignant, inspirational stories and insights from art, life, history, and scripture interspersed throughout, McManus walks readers through the process of crafting a life of beauty and wonder.
