The Outsider - Colin Wilson

The classic study of alienation, creativity and the modern mind Excitingly written, with a sense of revelation GUARDIANTHE OUTSIDER was an instant literary sensation when it was first published in 1956, thrusting its youthful author into the front rank of contemporary writers and thinkers. Wilson rationalised the psychological dislocation so characteristic of Western creative thinking into a coherent theory of alienation, and defined those affected by it as a type: the outsider. Through the works and lives of various artists, including Kafka, Camus, Hemingway, Hesse, Lawrence, Van Gogh, Shaw, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, Wilson explored the psyche of the outsider, his effect on society and society s on him. Nothing that has happened in the decades since has made THE OUTSIDER any less relevant; it remains the seminal work on this most persistent of modern-day preoccupations.

The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth - Frances Wilson

The prize-winning biography of Wordsworth s beloved sister, champion, muse who was at the heart of the Romantic movement in Britain - reissued to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Dorothy s birth. Genius ... Its own kind of heaven. New York Times A most beautiful, deep, and humble study of incredibly complex people. Oliver Sacks Dorothy Wordsworth is an enigma. William s beloved sister was his muse, champion, and most valued reader. She is mythologised as a self-effacing spinster and saintly amanuensis, yet Thomas De Quincey described her as all fire and ardour . Dorothy sacrificed a traditional life to share in her brother s world of words. In her Grasmere Journals, she vividly recorded their intimate life together in the Lake District, marked by a startling freedom from social convention. The tale that unfolds in her brief, electric entries reveals an intense bond between siblings, culminating in Dorothy s collapse on William s wedding day - after which the woman who once strode the hills in all weathers retreated inside the house for the last three decades of her life.In her magisterial biography, Frances Wilson uses the compressed emotion of Dorothy s journals to evoke the rich interior world of a woman determined to live on her own terms - one who deserves her own place in the history of the Romantic movement. Intelligent and intriguing ... A portrait of a peculiar, passionate, yet meticulous woman which is hauntingly strange. Sunday Telegraph Passion is the keynote of Wilson s fine biography ... Brims with the personality of [an] extraordinary woman ... Thrilling. Sunday Times This beautiful, wise biography draws Dorothy from her hiding places. She emerges as a passionate figure. Daily Telegraph Gripping ... Bold, witty, scholarly and speculative.â ™ Margaret Drabble

Now, 30 years later, he has completely rewritten and updated his earlier book to provide fresh evidence to support his original argument. Shroud boldly challenges the current post-radiocarbon dating view - that it is a fake. By arguing his case brilliantly and provocatively, Ian Wilson once more throws the matter into the public arena for further debate and controversy.

When a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, her curiosity won’t allow her to turn him away. But haunting his arrival are rumours of harvest failure and a rampant digital disease stirring up the ghosts, and the mood in the village starts to sour. Accused of witchcraft, Katerina and Stefan escape into the forest, searching for his missing father and the truth behind the disease. If there is a cure, Katerina alone might find it, but first she must find the courage to trust others – because the ghosts that follow her aren’t just digital.

The Drowned and the Saved - Les Wilson

WINNER OF THE SALTIRE SOCIETY HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEARNext morning at about 6 o⠙clock my mother wakened us to say there had been a shipwreck and bodies were being washed ashore. My father had gone with others to look for survivors ... I don⠙t think any survivors came in at Port Ellen but bodies did.The loss of two British ships crammed with American soldiers bound for the trenches of the First World War brought the devastation of war directly to the shores of the Scottish island of Islay.The sinking of the troopship Tuscania by a German U-Boat on 5 February 1918 was the first major loss of US troops in in the war. Eight months after the people of Islay had buried more than 200 Tuscania dead, the armed merchant cruiser Otranto collided with another troopship during a terrible storm. Despite a valiant rescue attempt by HMS Mounsay, the Otranto drifted towards Islay, hit a reef, throwing 600 men into the water. Just 19 survived; the rest were drowned or crushed by the wreckage.Based on the harrowing personal recollection of survivors and rescuers, newspaper reports and original research, Les Wilson tells the story of these terrible events, painting a vivid picture which also pays tribute to the astonishing bravery of the islanders, who risked their lives pulling men from the sea, caring for survivors and burying the dead.

The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books - Edward Wilson-Lee

WINNER OF THE 2019 PEN HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZEThe fascinating history of Christopher Columbus⠙s illegitimate son Hernando, guardian of his father⠙s flame, courtier, bibliophile and catalogue supreme, whose travels took him to the heart of 16th-century Europe⠙ Honor Clerk, Spectator, Books of the YearThis is the scarcely believable ⠓ and wholly true ⠓ story of Christopher Columbus bastard son Hernando, who sought to equal and surpass his father s achievements by creating a universal library. His father sailed across the ocean to explore the known boundaries of the world for the glory of God, Spain and himself. His son Hernando sought instead to harness the vast powers of the new printing presses to assemble the world⠙s knowledge in one place, his library in Seville.Hernando was one of the first and greatest visionaries of the print age, someone who saw how the scale of available information would entirely change the landscape of thought and society.His was an immensely eventual life. As a youth, he spent years travelling in the New World, and spent one living with his father in a shipwreck off Jamaica. He created a dictionary and a geographical encyclopaedia of Spain, helped to create the first modern maps of the world, spent time in almost every major European capital, and associated with many of the great people of his day, from Ferdinand and Isabel to Erasmus, Thomas More, and Dürer. He wrote the first biography of his father, almost single-handedly creating the legend of Columbus that held sway for many hundreds of years, and was highly influential in crafting how Europe saw the world his father reached in 1492. He also amassed the largest collection of printed images and of printed music of the age, started what was perhaps Europe s first botanical garden, and created by far the greatest private library Europe had ever seen, dwarfing with its 15,000 books every other library of the day.Edward Wilson-Lee has written the first major modern biography of Hernando ⠓ and the first of any kind available in English. In a work of dazzling scholarship, The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books tells an enthralling tale of the age of print and exploration, a story with striking lessons for our own modern experiences of information revolution and Globalisation.

Empire of the Deep - Ben Wilson

The bestselling complete history of the British Navy - our national story through a different prism.The story of our navy is nothing less than the story of Britain, our culture and our empire. Much more than a parade of admirals and their battles, this is the story of how an insignificant island nation conquered the world s oceans to become its greatest trading empire. Yet, as Ben Wilson shows, there was nothing inevitable about this rise to maritime domination, nor was it ever an easy path. EMPIRE OF THE DEEP: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH NAVY also reveals how our naval history has shaped us in more subtle and surprising ways - our language, culture, politics and national character all owe a great debt to this conquest of the seas. This is a gripping, fresh take on our national story.

Goethe - A. N. Wilson

** A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR ** Wild, brilliant and has all the intelligence to rival its subject. Five Stars. - Frances Wilson, The Telegraph Exuberant and wide-ranging - Literary Review Passionate - The TimesA spellbinding recreation of Goetheâ ™s life and work from one of our greatest biographers.Goethe was the inventor of the psychological novel, a pioneer scientist, great man of the theatre and a leading politician. As A. N. Wilson argues in this groundbreaking biography, it was his genius and insatiable curiosity that helped catapult the Western world into the modern era. A N. Wilson tackles the life of Goethe with characteristic wit and verve. From his youth as a wild literary prodigy to his later years as Germanyâ ™s most respected elder statesman, Wilson hones in on Goetheâ ™s undying obsession with the work he would spend his entire life writing â “ Faust. Goethe spent over 60 years writing his retelling of Faust, a strange and powerful work that absorbed all the philosophical questions of his time as well as the revolutions and empires that came and went. It is his greatest work, but as Wilson explores, it is also something much more - it is the myth of how we came to be modern.

First, Break All the Rules - Gallup

Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world #39;s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level.Included with this re-release of First, Break All the Rules: updated meta-analytic research and access to the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment, which reveals people #39;s top themes of talent, and to Gallup #39;s Q 2 employee engagement survey, the most effective measure of employee engagement and its impact on business outcomes.What separates the greatest managers from all the rest?They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don #39;t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don #39;t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don #39;t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favourites.In this long-time management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies others were key players in small, entrepreneurial firms. Whatever their circumstances, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup #39;s research were those who excelled at turning each individual employee #39;s talent into high performance.Gallup has found that the front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. This book explains how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience, set expectations, build on each person #39;s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his or her weaknesses, and get the best performance out of their teams.And perhaps most important, Gallup #39;s research produced the 12 simple statements that distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. First, Break All the Rules is the first book to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction and the rate of turnover.First, Break All the Rules presents vital performance and career lessons for managers at every level — and best of all, shows you how to apply them to your own situation.
