There are an infinite number of possible futures that lie ahead of us⠔like threads stretching out into the distance. Rob Hopkins, cofounder of the international Transition Network movement, invites us to travel to future worlds we would actually want to live in.In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted every aspect of daily life, climate activist and Transition Network cofounder Rob Hopkins responded the way a lot of people did: by starting a podcast. But it wasn⠙t any ordinary podcast. In each episode, Hopkins and his guests would ⠜time travel⠝ together to the year 2030⠔walking down imagined future streets, talking with imagined future neighbors, visiting imagined future local businesses. While Hopkins⠙s guests came from all walks of life⠔economists, politicians, bakers, comedians, novelists and more⠔they all shared a willingness to suspend their worries about the future long enough to mentally inhabit and then describe a world they were thrilled to be a part of.What Hopkins discovered was no less profound: this simple exercise of visiting a positive future forced him to rethink the work he⠙d been doing as a climate activist for decades.How to Fall in Love with the Future is the result of that radical disruption⠔and Hopkins⠙s deep dive into the people and movements throughout history who have used visions of the future to inspire positive change on a large and dramatic scale. From the life and writings of musician Sun Ra and the history of Black utopian movements to the latest neuroscience on what goes on in our minds⠔and hearts⠔when we ⠜time travel,⠝ Hopkins brings essential new thinking to anyone overwhelmed with dread and anxiety for the future. He asks us to consider: what would the world look like if we all got to work imagining⠔and then building⠔a world we were deeply in love with?⠜Rob Hopkins puts imagination back at the heart of future-dreaming, offering us an irresistible invitation to dream bigger and then make those dreams a reality.⠝⠔Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics

â ˜The Welsh habit of revolt against the English is an old-standing madness â ¦ from the sayings of the prophet Merlin they still hope to recover their land. Hence, they frequently rebel â ¦ but because they do not know the appointed time, they are often deceived and their labour is in vain.â ™ (Vita Edwardi Secundi)The appointed time, it turned out, was 1485. For generations, the ancestors of Welshman Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henryâ ™s queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the kingâ ™s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherineâ ™s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. It would be Edmundâ ™s son, Henry Tudor, who would take the English throne as Henry VII.When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimerâ ™s Cross in 1461, the ageing Owen led a wing of the defeated army, was captured and executed. Without his earlier secret marriage for love, there would have been no Tudor dynasty.

This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen s letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet s life in his own words.Wilfred Owen s fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature.Owen s letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century.Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen s Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen s character and poetic development.

Mám v telefonu fotografii, na které jsem jako dítě s otcem na pláži. Často tomu chlapci říkám: „Vedli jsme si dobře, hochu.“ Občas se zamýšlím nad tím, jak se kluk z Walesu, syn pekaře, dostal až sem. Celý můj život je jedno velké tajemství. Tato kniha vypráví můj příběh. – Sir Anthony HopkinsAnthony Hopkins se narodil uprostřed hospodářské krize ve velšském ocelářském městečku Port Talbot. Ve škole se trápil a jeho okolí bylo přesvědčeno o tom, že ho v budoucnosti nečeká nic dobrého. Jenže v mladém Tonym se jednoho osudového sobotního večera probudila vášeň pro něco, co tehdy ještě nedokázal pojmenovat. A tak jeho započala nečekaná cesta ke slávě a světovému uznání.Hopkins ve své knize upřímně a zároveň s typickým britským humorem popisuje významné milníky své herecké kariéry a nabízí jedinečný pohled do zákulisí svých nejslavnějších rolí – od Hannibala Lectera v Mlčení jehňátek (1991) až po Nicholase Wintona ve filmu Jeden život (2023). Otevřeně se svěřuje také se svým komplikovaným osobním životem. Závislost na alkoholu zničila Hopkinsova první dvě manželství, poškodila vztah s jeho jediným dítětem a málem ho připravila o život.Kniha Vedli jsme si dobře, hochu obsahuje i unikátní sbírku osobních fotografií a představuje syrové a vášnivé paměti ikonické osobnosti, která svými mimořádnými hereckými výkony inspiruje publikum už více než šedesát let.

A hilarious and horrifying journey into the dark heart of the ‟New Normal Reich.”. C. J. Hopkins’s latest volume of Consent Factory Essays chronicles his Kafkaesque prosecution in Germany, the broader crackdown on dissent throughout the West, and other unsettling features of the ‟New Normal”—the new pathologized form of totalitarianism that was rolled out during ‟the Covid Pandemic,” which is radically transforming societies around the world. Charged by the German authorities with ‟disseminating pro-Nazi propaganda” for tweeting the cover art of his bestselling book, The Rise of the New Normal Reich: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. III (2020–2021), Hopkins’s absurdist adventures in the German legal system—where he was pronounced guilty without a trial, then acquitted, and then ‟unacquitted”—make for harrowing and uproariously humorous reading. Prosecuted in criminal court, his book banned by Amazon, his tweets censored by Twitter, reported to Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office and the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, its domestic intelligence agency, his battle to defend his right to freedom of speech and artistic expression has become an international cause célèbre, receiving major media coverage in the USA, UK, Australia, and Switzerland, as well as Germany. Spanning the years 2022–2024, the essays in this volume also cover the crackdown on so-called ‟disinformation,” ‟hate-speech,” and other forms of wrongthink, the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, the culture wars, the rise of the ‟Musk Cult,” the return of Trump, and the rest of the aftermath of the ‟Covid Pandemic.”

Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir. Born and raised in Port Talbot – a small Welsh steelworks town – amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted. With candour and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear. Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life – the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt – much like the men in his family – and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret. Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.

Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 2006Ideas of separation and divorce are important in Owen Sheers eagerly-awaited new book: the geographical divides of borders, the separation of the dead and the living, the movement from childhood to adulthood, the ending of relationships.Such divides are both moments of mark-making and moments of absence. In this collection it is often the awareness of such separation â “ past or impending â “ and the juxtaposition of these diverse states â “ that provides the friction from which the poems are born.The book revolves around the two poems Y Gaer and The Hillfort , the titles themselves suggesting the linguistic divide in Wales, from poems concerned with childhood, a Welsh landscape and family, to a more outward looking vision both geographically and historically. Sheers is a vivid, sensuous writer. The Times It is the truth in the details that suggests indisputably that Sheers is the real thing, a poet of promise whom we are sure to hear much of in the future. Dannie Abse Owen Sheers is one of the most exciting talents around and a fabulous performer of his work. Carol Ann DuffyBorn in Fiji, raised in Abergavenny, educated at Oxford and a graduate of the University of East Anglia writing programme, Owen Sheers was named as one of the Next Generation poets by the Poetry Book Society in 2004. He is the author of the best-selling poetry collection The Blue Book, which was shortlisted for the Welsh Book of the Year and the Forward prize for Best First Collection in 2000.

The complete and definitive edition of poems from the greatest poet of WW1, Wilfred Owen2018 marks a hundred years since the end of the First World War. Owenâ ™s death in battle, a few days before the Armistice, was a disastrous loss to English letters and left a legacy of the finest poetry that vividly captured the unimaginable horrors of the Great War. This volume, edited by Oxford Professor Jon Stallworthy, gathers together the poems for which Owen is best known, and which represent his most important contribution to poetry in the twentieth century. â ˜The greatest of all the war poets.... it is Owen s intense respect for the soldier that makes his poetry so powerful. Those who did not return have their meticulously maintained stone memorials on the fields of Flanders. But their memorial in our minds is largely built by Wilfred Owenâ ™ Jeremy Paxman, Spectator

Iphigenia in Splott is a one-woman play, first seen in 2015, loosely adapted from the ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides Iphigenia in Aulis. The title character, Iphigenia (or Effie ), finds escape from the harsh reality of her life in drink, drugs and one-night stands. The ancient Greek play is re-told against the backdrop of a crumbling welfare state and reveals the impact of austerity and social injustice on those who have little to lose.The play has enjoyed international acclaim, having been performed in Cardiff (Sherman Cymru ), London (Lyric Hammersmith National Theatre), Berlin (Schaubühne) and in New York (59E59 Theatres). In the UK, it won Best New Play at the UK Theatre Awards, 2015. This Student Edition of Gary Owen s critically celebrated play includes a commentary by Lucy Jackson, which considers:* The rules of Greek drama and how they inform this play;* Its basis in the Greek myth of Iphigenia and the Euripidean play Iphigenia at Aulis;* The context that unites a 21st-century audience with an audience in ancient Greece;* Modern and ancient notions of tragedy;* Owen s use of poetic verse compared with that used in ancient drama;* Various modern interpretations of the Iphigenia myth in theatre and literature; * Owen s representation of marginalised voices in the play and his portrait of working-class lives;* The notion of female sacrifice * Key productions of the play to date and notable staging choicesNotes to the play are included at the back of the edition to help students de-code some of the play s references.

When barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a neglected donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable health. But Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative - and it s clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of humans. Christopher knows that donkeys need a purpose - they are working, pack animals - and so when he learns of the sport of Burro Racing or running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman something worth living for.With the aid of Christopher s menagerie on his farm in rural Pennsylvania, his wife Mika and their friends and neighbours including the local Amish population, Sherman begins to build trust in Christopher. To give him a purpose, they start to run together. But what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is something we all need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with movement. And as Christopher learns, the side benefits of exercise and animal contact are surprising, helping with mental and physical health in unexpected ways.

Your book is the really good book. Just one that Roger Butler would have wanted - Sir Ian McKellen Absorbing and often very moving - Peter Parker, Spectator Sir, we are homosexuals . . . So began the letter penned by Roger Butler and sent to several British newspaper editors - some of whom were so shocked they thought it was a hoax - in June 1960. Writing such a letter seven years before the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. It was a risk that set a major milestone in the fight for gay rights - one that has been almost entirely forgotten.This is the story of the first man to come out voluntarily, using his own name, to the entire British public, a decade before activists started petitioning gay people everywhere to come out proud . Taking us through a criminalised underworld of gay pubs, parties and activist meetings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about the legalisation of homosexuality, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after losing his sight in his early 30s.Enter Christopher - a student asked to visit and read to an old, blind man at the beginning of a new century. As their intergenerational friendship bloomed, Roger came to trust Christopher with his most precious possession: memoirs of his revolutionary past, locked away in his home. After Roger s death, Christopher opened a series of unsent letters, left in a pink folder, addressed to him. They contained Roger s final wish, for Christopher finally to bring his remarkable, hidden story into the light of day. Remarkable . . . a splendidly sprawling part biography, part autobiography, part history and part social commentary . . . the result, a true account, benefits greatly from a lightness, a candour untethered to any agenda or argument - Times Literary Supplement Faithfully and beautifully told - Mail on Sunday
