The publishing house of John Murray was founded in Fleet Street in 1768 and remained a family firm over seven generations. Published to coincide with this ''remarkable achievement'' and in the anniversary year, Dear Mr Murray is a collection of some of the best letters from the hundreds of thousands held in the John Murray Archive. They reveal not only the story of some of the most interesting and influential books in history but also the remarkable friendships - as well as occasional animosities - between author and publisher, as well as readers, editors, printers and illustrators.Despite the incredible number of letters that were retained by the Murray family, some failed to arrive, others were delayed and some barely survived, but longevity added to the reputation and fame of John Murray and a correspondent in Canada who addressed his letter merely to ''John Murray, The World-wide famous Book & Publishing House, London, England'' as early as 1932 could be confident that his letter would arrive.Intended to entertain and inspire, and spanning more than two hundred years, Dear Mr Murray is full of literary history and curiosities: from Charles Darwin''s response to the negative reviews of On the Origin of Species to Adrian Conan Doyle challenging Harold Nicolson to a duel for insulting his father in the press; from David Livingstone''s displeasure at the proposed drawing of a lion to represent his near-death encounter in Missionary Travels to William Makepeace Thackeray apologising for his drunken behaviour; from Byron berating John Murray for being fooled by his girlfriend''s forgery of his signature to the poet James Hogg so desperate for money that he claims he won''t be able to afford a Christmas goose; and from Jane Austen expressing concern about printing delays to Patrick Leigh Fermor beseeching Jock Murray not to visit him until he''d completed A Time of Gifts. Complemented by illustrations and reproductions of letters and envelopes, this is the perfect gift for book lovers everywhere.

A laugh-out-loud, page-turning novel from TOP 100 bestselling author of Time Out Emma MurraySaoirse may just have to wing it... When her husband David announces he’s been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment and business class air fare – what’s not to like? There’s just the small matter of making it work for their daughter, five-year-old Anna, who isn’t so keen to leave her friends and school behind. The Big Apple in the middle of summer isn’t quite the holiday Saoirse envisaged, and with David away with work, New York apartment sizes on the miniscule side, and the pace of life faster than the sleepy London suburbs, solo ex-pat parenting pushes Saoirse to her limits. And as the pressure builds and ‘faking it till she makes it’ isn’t cutting it, there’s only one thing for it – Saoirse and Anna need a new plan, and ‘Winging It’ might be their best option…Emma Murray returns with this laugh-out-loud funny, compulsively page-turning adventure about parenting, travelling, and finding your tribe – on both sides of the pond.

From the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling AuthorIn On Democracies and Death Cults, bestselling author Douglas Murray argues how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. On Democracies and Death Cults illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values - capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason - has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism.Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence. Deeply reasoned, clear-eyed and grounded in fact, On Democracies and Death Cults is a gripping and essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for the future of democracy - and for the world itself.

"LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!" LUKE 11:1"Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.What do you think, my beloved fellow disciples? Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress. Let us take time not only to meditate but to pray. To busy ourselves at the foot of the throne, and be trained in the work of intercession." -Andrew Murray"With Christ in the School of Prayer" offers a structured series of 31 short, concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the listener''s heart with a hunger for God''s presence.

First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz opens the door to 144 of the city’s most sumptuous entrance halls, captivating in their diversity and splendor. These vibrant Milanese entryways, until now hidden away behind often restrained façades, are revealed as dazzling examples of Italian modernism, mediating public and private space with vivid configurations of color and form, from floors of juxtaposed stones to murals of minimalist geometry. The collection spans buildings from 1920 to 1970 and showcases the work of some of the city’s most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest. The photographs for the publication were exclusively shot by Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini, and Matthew Billings, each evoking the entryways with individual sensibility and a stylistic interplay of detail shots—such as stones, door handles, and handrails—with larger architectural views. The images are accompanied by concise contributions from Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish, and Grazia Signori, together bringing a wealth of architecture, design, and natural stone expertise to guide the reader through the applied materials and fittings as well as the art-historical and social implications of each of the ingressi. As much an architectural city guide as an aesthetic study, the book provides the exact address and an annotated Milan map for all featured entryways, as well as the architect name and date of construction. In the well-documented realm of 20th-century Italian design, Kolbitz has stepped over the threshold and delivered a brand new area of inquiry in Milanese modernism. With the rigor of its multifaceted research, poised photography, and breadth of its featured hallways, this is an invigorating new reference work and an inside look at the city’s design DNA across high to low architecture.

Douglas Murray odvážně popisuje a jasně vysvětluje tragické problémy, které se vynořily v západním světě jako důsledek ztráty orientace a smyslu lidské existence. Vznikla nová utopická ideologie společenské spravedlnosti, jež nesmiřitelně prosazuje radikální přestavbu společnosti na základě domnělých práv rasových a sexuálních menšin (i většinových žen). Tato ideologie proniká do hlavního proudu politiky, ovládla veřejný diskurz a stala se novou státní legitimitou. Je však zmatená a absurdní, a tak vede doslova k masovému šílenství. Jak píše Murray: "Vypjaté projevy znechucení na veřejnosti i v soukromí se opakují stále častěji, lidé se chovají jako v horečce, reagují stádně, anebo jako by si potřebovali nepřetržitě a vulgárně ulevovat. Každodenní zprávy nám předkládají důsledky takového chování, ale příčiny nám unikají." Na straně "progresivistů" vystupují globální americké firmy, zejména Google, Amazon, Twitter a Facebook, jež získaly moc "určovat lidem, co mají znát, o čem přemýšlet a mluvit”. Autor popisuje paradoxy a protimluvy tohoto šílenství, které se snaží potlačit normální zdravý rozum (např. výrokem, že ženy a muži jsou stejní). Murray rozebírá matoucí ideologii a její novořeč: "komunita LBGTQ", "bělošské privilegium", "toxické mužství" nebo "transfobie" a nabízí možnost, jak se nenechat ovládnout takzvanou "politickou korektností”, jež je naprosto scestná. Autor ukazuje, že pro záchranu západní civilizace rozumu a svobody je životně důležité, abychom uměli rozlišit, co je na emancipaci žen, homosexuálů a rasových menšin správné - a kdy už jednoznačně jsme na cestě k šílenství.

Už delší dobu to vypadá, že se na Západě hroutí snášenlivá společnost humánních civilizačních zásad, které jí dosud zajišťovaly soudržnost a rozvoj. Média podléhají cenzuře politické ideologie "sociální spravedlnosti” a univerzity indoktrinují mládež revoluční vizí nové společnosti. "Všechno, co jsme pokládali za rozumné a dané”, píše Murray, "se nyní nachází pod palbou nenávistné kritiky”. Máme-li i tentokrát zvítězit nad fašismem a komunismem, musíme demaskovat vnitřního nepřítele. Není to snadné, pseudoprogresivistické hnutí "uvědomělých (woke)” bojůvek používá proměnlivý jazyk utopické "absolutní rovnosti rasových a sexuálních menšin” a svou novořečí dokáže posluchače často zmást. V útoku na západní civilizaci zneužívá americký komplex z otrokářství ("Na černošských životech záleží!”) a obviněním z rasismu útočí na liberální politickou tradici, západní filosofii, literaturu, umění a dokonce i exaktní vědy jako na pozůstatky rasistické imperialistické politiky "bílých mrtvých mužů”, kterou je nutno od základu vyvrátit a vybudovat novou, spravedlivou, multikulturní a beztřídní společnost. Murray dramaticky líčí, jak ideologie anti-rasismu pronikla do myšlení západní elity, jak ovlivňuje chod škol a institucí, pracovní zákony i veřejnou debatu. Padají sochy zakladatelů americké svobody a hrdinů občanské války. Absurdní obvinění bílé rasy z vrozeného nevyléčitelného rasismu ohrožuje legitimitu a soudržnost multietnického národa. Murray volá do boje: nedejme se zastrašit a pádně odpovězme na pomlouvání civilizace, jež dala světu katedrály a univerzity, úžasné umění, vědu, techniku a také lékařství a vyprostila z bídy dvě miliardy lidí! Pouze na Západě byla umožněna politická a individuální svoboda. V zájmu jejího udržení je třeba se vzepřít jejím totalitním likvidátorům - je třeba je porazit.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.
