‘It stands alone in the literature of manic depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty’ – Oliver SacksAn Unquiet Mind is a definitive examination of manic depression from both sides: doctor and patient, the healer and the healed. A classic memoir of enormous candour and courage, it teems with the wit and wisdom of its creator.Dr Kay Redfield Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic depression (bipolar disorder), but she has also experienced its terrors and cruel allure first-hand. While pursuing her career in medicine, she was affected by the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic lows that afflicted many of her patients. From her jubilant childhood to the disquiet that has dominated her adult life, she charts a journey through her own mind, and those of others.''Invaluable'' – New York Times Book Review

Three Moments of an Explosion: Stories - China Miéville

The multi-award-winning China Miéville has been called ''the equal of David Mitchell or Zadie Smith'' (Scotland on Sunday), a writer whose ''inventiveness and precision is awesome'' (Independent), and who writes with ''an imagination of immense power'' (Guardian).In these twenty-eight short stories, glistening icebergs float above urban horizons; a burning stag runs wild through the city; the ruins of industry emerge unsteadily from the sea; and the abandoned generations in a decayed space-elevator look not up at the stars but down at the Earth. Ranging from portraits of childhood to chilling ghost stories, from dystopian visions to poignant evocations of uncanny love, with beautiful prose and melancholy wit, Three Moments of an Explosion is a breath-taking collection that poses searching questions of what it is to be human in an unquiet world. It is a humane and unsentimental investigation of our society, our world, and ourselves.

Letters from an Actor - William Redfield

The legendary 1964 Broadway run of Hamlet directed by John Gielgud is one of the most famous productions of Shakespeare’s most important play. Audacious for its time in concept and execution, it placed the actors in everyday clothes within an unassuming “rehearsal” set, with the Ghost of Hamlet’s father projected as a shadow against the rear wall and voiced by the director himself. It was also a runaway critical and financial success, breaking the then-record for most performances of a Broadway show. This was in no small part due to the starring role played by Richard Burton, whose romance with Elizabeth Taylor was the object of widespread fascination.Present throughout, and ever attentive to the backstage drama and towering egos on display, was the actor William Redfield, who played Guildenstern. During the three months of the play’s preparation, from rehearsals through out-of-town tryouts to the gala opening night on Broadway, Redfield wrote a series of letters describing the daily happenings and his impressions of them. In 1967, they were in 1967 collected into Letters from an Actor, a brilliant and unusual book that has since become a classic behind-the-scenes account that remains an indispensable contribution to theatrical history and lore.This new edition at last brings Redfield’s classic back into print, as The Motive and the Cue—the Sam Mendes-directed play about the Gielgud production that is based in part on the book—continues its successful run on London’s West End.

Unquiet Women - Max Adams

Unquiet Women is an exquisitely crafted patchwork of the forgotten lives of some of the most remarkable women in history.Wynflæd was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who owned male slaves and badger-skin gowns; Egeria a Gaulish nun who toured the Holy Land as the Roman Empire was collapsing; Gudrid an Icelandic explorer and the first woman to give birth to a European child on American soil; Mary Astell a philosopher who out-thought John Locke.In this exploration of the lives of women living between the last days of Rome and the Enlightenment, Max Adams triumphantly overturns the idea that women of this period were either queens, nuns, or invisible. A kaleidoscopic study of women''s creativity, intellect and influence, Unquiet Women brings to life the experiences of women whose stories are all too rarely told. Thanks to its author''s rigorous work of rescue and recovery, their voices can be heard across the centuries—still passionate and still strong.

Hledání svatyně - Christopher Jamison

V roce 2005 a posléze v roce 2010 oslovila britská televize BBC ve spolupráci s představiteli benediktýnského opatství Worth v jižní Anglii skupinu britských občanů s různými životními zkušenostmi, ideovými názory a postoji, aby si na vlastní kůži vyzkoušeli život v klášterním prostředí a současně se i blíže seznámili s hodnotami, které mohou v tomto prostředí načerpat. Oba zmíněné seriály vyvolaly mezi televizními diváky neobyčejný ohlas. Na základě zkušeností získaných během natáčení obou zmíněných programů, ale také z rozhovorů se zúčastněnými i z reakcí laické veřejnosti, se Christopher Jamison, bývalý opat kláštera Worth, rozhodl své poznatky sepsat do ucelené formy, a tím se o ně s veřejností podělit. Ve své knížce Hledání svatyně s podtitulem Klášterní moudrost jako návod pro všední život se snaží nalézt odpověď na otázku, proč je náš život tak hektický a plný stresu, a současně, jak se s nástrahami dnešního tak uspěchaného světa vyrovnat. Nejen s odkazem na knihu knih, ale také na Řeholi svatého Benedikta, příběhy pouštních otců ale i inspirativní příběhy lidí dnešní doby, nám autor čtivým způsobem předkládá sedm základních kroků k vybudování vlastní niterné svatyně a tedy k objevení pravých životních hodnot, které dávají našemu každodennímu bytí hluboký smysl, naději a radost. Christopher Jamison je benediktýnský mnich, bývalý opat kláštera Worth, nacházející se v jihoanglickém hrabství Západní Sussex, a také bývalý ředitel zdejší církevní školy. Narodil se v australském Melbourne, odkud se ještě v dětství, společně se svou rodinou, trvale přestěhoval do Anglie. Je absolventem katolického lycea Downside School a později i Oxfordské univerzity, kde získal bakalářský titul v oboru francouzský a španělský jazyk. Do povědomí širší veřejnosti se dostal díky dokumentárním pořadům televize BBC The Monastery a The Big Silence, v nichž hrál ústřední roli hostitele i průvodce jednotlivých hlavních protagonistů. Rovněž působí jako prezident Mezinárodní konference benediktýnského vzdělávání (ICBE) zprostředkovávající celosvětový dialog mezi benediktýnskými středními školami. V současnosti je ředitelem instituce National Office for Vocation, zabývající se komunikací s lidmi, kteří chtějí svůj život prožít v církevním prostředí.

Yet to keep hold of this truth in the rush of modern living you need the support of other people and sensible advice from wise guides. By learning to listen in new ways, people''s lives can change and the abbot offers some monastic steps that help this transition to a more spiritual life.In the face of many easy assumptions about the irrelevance of religion today, Father Christopher makes religion accessible for those in search of life''s meaning and offers a vision of the world''s religions working together as a unique source of hope for the 21st century.

Written on the Dark - Guy Gavriel Kay

''Kay is a genius. I''ve read him all my life and am always inspired by his work'' BRANDON SANDERSONA sweeping new novel of love and war that brilliantly evokes the drama and turbulence of medieval France from the internationally bestselling author of Tigana, All the Seas of the World, and A Brightness Long Ago. Thierry Villar is a well-known - even notorious - tavern poet, intimately familiar with the rogues and shadows of that world, but not at all with courts and power. He is an unlikely person, despite his quickness, to be swept into the deadly contests of ambitious royals, assassins, and invading armies.But he is indeed drawn into all these things on a savagely cold night in his beloved city of Orane. And so Thierry must use all the intelligence and charm he can muster as power struggles merge with a decades-long war to bring his country to the brink of destruction.As he does, he meets his poetic equal in an aristocratic woman and is drawn to more than one unsettling person with a connection to the world beyond this one. He also crosses paths with an extraordinary young woman driven by voices within to try to heal the ailing king - and help his forces in war.

A Brightness Long Ago - Guy Gavriel Kay

''The greatest living author of epic fantasy'' - Brandon Sanderson ''The finest in his field'' - Tor.com ''Guy Gavriel Kay''s A Brightness Long Ago is a masterpiece; perhaps the finest work of one of the world''s greatest living storytellers'' - Fantasy Book Review ***One of Goodreads'' Most Anticipated SFF Books of 2019*** Internationally bestselling author Guy Gavriel Kay''s latest work is set in a world evoking early Renaissance Italy, with an extraordinary cast of characters. In a chamber overlooking the nighttime waterways of a maritime city, a man looks back on his youth and the people who shaped his life. Danio Cerra''s intelligence won him entry to a renowned school, though he was only the son of a tailor. He took service at the court of a ruling count - and soon learned why that man was known as The Beast. Danio''s fate changed the moment he recognized Adria Ripoli as she entered the count''s chambers one night - intending to kill. Born to power, Adria had chosen a life of danger - and freedom - instead. Other vivid figures share the story: a healer determined to defy her expected lot; a charming, frivolous son of immense wealth; a religious leader more decadent than devout; and, affecting these lives and many more, two mercenary commanders, whose rivalry puts a world in the balance.

Bessie Smith - Kay Jackie

A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEKBessie Smith: singer, icon, pioneer. Scotland''s National Poet Jackie Kay brings to life the tempestuous story of the greatest blues singer who ever lived. ''A gem of a book . . . beautiful.'' BERNARDINE EVARISTO''A wonderful writer on a magnificent singer.'' ROBERT WYATT''Kay’s book is the amplifier that Smith’s voice deserves.'' SUNDAY TIMES''The most vivid evocation of Bessie Smith I have ever read.'' IAN CARR, BBC MUSICBESSIE SMITH was born in Tennessee in 1894. Orphaned by the age of nine, she sang on street corners before becoming a big name in travelling shows. In 1923 she made her first recording for a new start-up called Columbia Records. It sold 780,000 copies and made her a star. Smith’s life was notoriously difficult: she drank pints of ‘bathtub gin’, got into violent fist fights, spent huge sums of money and had passionate love affairs with men and women. She once single-handedly fought off a cohort of the Ku Klux Klan.As a young black girl growing up in Glasgow, Jackie Kay found in Bessie someone with whom she could identify and who she could idolise. In this remarkable book Kay mixes biography, fiction, poetry and prose to create an enthralling account of an extraordinary life. ''Biographies don’t usually bring the subject to life again. This one did. I finished the book then started it again immediately.'' PEGGY SEEGER''What a life! What gulpable storytelling! Exactly the kind of writing about music we need: personal, ardent, playfully confrontational, questioning, undogmatic. A love song to a complicated idol.''KATE MOLLESON''Pure joy: one trailblazing woman pays tribute to another.

The hilarious history book for kids, all about the human body, from bestselling, record-breaking author and illustrator Adam Kay and Henry Paker.The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people''s heads off.But there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn''t have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.It''s time to delve into history and get some answers to some big questions, like:Why did patients gargle with wee?Why did people used to get paid for farting? (Unfortunately that’s no longer a thing – sorry.)How did a doctor save people''s lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages?What was the great stink? (No, it''s not what doctors call your bum.)If you''re sure you''re ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn''t) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!Praise for Kay''s Anatomy:''An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed'' - i''Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about'' - Sunday Times''Totally brilliant!'' - Jacqueline Wilson''Fun and informative'' - Malorie Blackman''Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics'' -Sunday Express

Amy Gets Eaten - Adam Kay

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker - now Children’s Picture Book of The Year 2024 – The Week Junior Book Awards!The judges said: “This poo-filled picture book [...] reveals scientific facts in an engaging, silly and original way, with lots of icky illustrations to add to the fun.”This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion. (It''s fair to say that parents might learn a little bit too.)Praise for Kay''s Anatomy:''An enjoyably gross look at the human body.
