When Bill Masen wakes up blindfolded in hospital there is a bitter irony in his situation. Carefully removing his bandages, he realizes that he is the only person who can see: everyone else, doctors and patients alike, have been blinded by a meteor shower. Now, with civilization in chaos, the triffids - huge, venomous, large-rooted plants able to walk , feeding on human flesh - can have their day. The Day of the Triffids, published in 1951, expresses many of the political concerns of its time: the Cold War, the fear of biological experimentation and the man-made apocalypse. However, with its terrifyingly believable insights into the genetic modification of plants, the book is more relevant today than ever before.John Wyndham was born in 1903. After a wide experience of the English preparatory school he was at Bedales from 1918 to 1921.

Based on the BBC television series, John Berger s Ways of Seeing is a unique look at the way we view art, published as part of the Penguin on Design series in Penguin Modern Classics. Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak. But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. John Berger s Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the Sunday Times critic commented: This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings . . . he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures. By now he has.John Berger (b. 1926) is an art critic, painter and novelist.born in Hackney, London. His novel G. (1972) won both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Booker Prize. If you enjoyed Ways of Seeing, you might like Susan Sontag s On Photography, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. Berger has the ability to cut right through the mystification of professional art critics ... he is a liberator of images: and once we have allowed the paintings to work on us directly, we are in a much better position to make a meaningful evaluation Peter Fuller, Arts Review The influence of the series and the book ... was enormous ...

Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, The Observer (London), Granata, and TLS, and a finalist for a World Fantasy Award. Acclaimed master of speculative fiction, fantasy, space opera, and literary realism and one of the most celebrated living British authors M. John Harrison has crafted a “masterpiece” (Helen MacDonald, author of H Is for Hawk) with this anti-memoir about the joys and perils of the writing life.M. John Harrison has produced one of the greatest bodies of fiction of any living British author. But is there even an M. John Harrison and if so, where do we find him? This is the question the author asks in this memoir-as-mystery, turning for clues to forty years of notetaking: “A note or it never happened. A note or you never looked.” Are these notebooks records of failed presence? How do they shine a light on a childhood in the industrial Midlands, a portrait of a young artist in counterculture London, on an adulthood of restless escape into hill and moorland landscapes? And do they tell us anything about the writing of books, each one so different from the last that it might have been written by another version of the author? With aphoristic daring and laconic prose, this “infectiously engaging” (The Times Literary Supplement, London) anti-memoir will fascinate and delight. It confirms M. John Harrison still further in his status as the most original British writer of his generation. “Wish I Was Here is a beautifully strange masterwork. It is as if M. John Harrison’s prose devises its own autobiography, while the figure of its author stands to one side tinkering at a eulogy for a dead cat, a manifesto against ruin porn, and a manual of operating procedures for creativity as funky as a Brian Eno card deck. How can this also produce a sublime fugue on memory and aging? Read it and see.” —Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude

A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey s shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan s library, Lord John and the Hand of the Devils brings these three unique novellas together for the first time.____________Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels (and chronologically precedes the novel Lord John and the Private Matter). A young diplomat is killed in the street as he begs Lord John for help. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham AbbeyIn Lord John and the Succubus, Grey s assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious night-hag, who spreads fear and death among the troops. Acknowledging that he is unlikely to fall victim to a succubus, Lord John is obliged to contend with the marauding night-hag before the enemy arrives. This tale with a touch of the supernatural bridges the action between Gabaldon s two full-length Lord John tales.Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry s questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld (a central action in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade). Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot -- haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.____________Readers love Lord John and the Hand of Devils . . .***** John Grey is my spirit animal. I am such a fan of this series! ***** My eyes couldn t read fast enough!! ***** I enjoyed all three, once again became lost in the time period within seconds of starting to read....I don t know how Diana G. does it! ***** I really, really liked this trilogy of novellas that were included in this book. ***** The insight is fascinating, interesting and favourable.

A reflection on the role of suffering in human existence. It⠙s right there in the Book of Job: ⠜Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward.⠝ Suffering is an inescapable part of the human condition⠔which leads to a question that has proved just as inescapable throughout the centuries: Why? Why do we suffer? Why do people die young? Is there any point to our pain, physical or emotional? Do horrors like hurricanes have meaning?  In Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering, Scott Samuelson tackles that hardest question of all. To do so, he travels through the history of philosophy and religion, but he also attends closely to the real world we live in. While always taking the question of suffering seriously, Samuelson is just as likely to draw lessons from Bugs Bunny as from Confucius, from his time teaching philosophy to prisoners as from Hannah Arendt⠙s attempts to come to terms with the Holocaust. He guides us through the arguments people have offered to answer this fundamental question, explores the many ways that we have tried to minimize or eliminate suffering, and examines people⠙s attempts to find ways to live with pointless suffering. Ultimately, Samuelson shows, to be fully human means to acknowledge a mysterious paradox: we must simultaneously accept suffering and oppose it. And understanding that is itself a step towards acceptance.  Wholly accessible, and thoroughly thought-provoking, Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering is a masterpiece of philosophy, returning the field to its roots⠔helping us see new ways to understand, explain, and live in our world, fully alive to both its light and its darkness.

John měl naplánovanou jen krátkou pauzu. Místo ní se ocitá v podivné kavárně na konci světa, kde se ho servírka místo objednávky zeptá: Proč jste tady? A pak přijdou další otázky – hluboké, nečekané, neodbytné. A také rozhovory, které proměňují způsob, jak se dívá na vlastní život. Kniha v sobě nese kouzlo nenápadného příběhu – a právě v tom je její síla. Skrze zážitky jednoho člověka se dotýká základních lidských tužeb a obav. Nabízí pochopení, že náš život může mít smysl. A že máme možnost ho žít vědomě – každý den, každou minutu. Příběh Johna Streleckého oslovil miliony čtenářů po celém světě. Jeho kniha byla přeložena do více než 40 jazyků a stala se světovým bestsellerem. Pokud hledáte směr nebo jen chcete na chvíli vystoupit z každodenního shonu, tato kniha vás vezme přesně tam, kde potřebujete být – do kavárny na konci světa. Pro koho je kniha určena Pro všechny, kdo se někdy cítí unavení, ztracení nebo v zajetí rutiny Pro ty, kdo hledají odvahu žít podle sebe Pro čtenáře knih jako Alchymista nebo Čtyři dohody Proč si knihu přečíst a co vám dá Ukáže vám, že klíčové životní otázky nejsou děsivé, ale osvobozující Pomůže vám znovu najít směr, smysl a radost ze života Otevře vám oči i srdce – a možná změní i vaše rozhodnutí „Najednou mě přepadl zvláštní pocit. Jako bych se ocitl na samém okraji strmého útesu, kde jediný krok vpřed může znamenat okamžitou smrt, nebo věčné štěstí.“ Doporučení nakladatele „Tuhle knížku jsme vydali v době, kdy jsme sami cítili, že potřebujeme přehodnotit, proč děláme to, co děláme. A právě Kavárna na konci světa nám připomněla, že opravdová změna začíná otázkou. Nechte se jí inspirovat i vy – nenápadně, laskavě, ale do hloubky.“ - Michaela a Václav Kazdovi Přidejte si do sbírky Co o knize říkají čtenáři Vynikající knížka, stojí za přečtení.

Vždy jsem měla pocit, že život má být víc než jen ten stejný den za dnem. Něco v této malé knížce mi pomáhá si uvědomit, že je život opravdu o něčem víc.

Po přečtení této knihy (z knihovny) jsem si ale okamžitě koupila výtisk domů a letos jsem ji přečetla ještě dvakrát. Tato kniha mě zasáhla na všech správných místech. Nejen že se jedná o zábavný příběh, ale celkově se jedná o skvělou knihu o osobním rozvoji s mnoha tipy, jak žít život naplno!

Facing dragons, sirens and ruthless warriors on the voyage, Orphia earns unparalleled fame, but she longs to return to Eurydicius.Yet she has a darker journey to make - one which will see her fight for her love with all the power of her poetry.Praise for Orphia and Eurydicius As I read, I imagined the muses beside Elyse John, focusing her mind and guiding her hand. The writing is poetic and evocative, and the story will thrill readers who have long suspected something is missing from the classics of Greek myth. PIP WILLIAMS, author of The Dictionary of Lost Words and The Bookbinder of Jericho Spins a bewitching tale of courage, love, and defiance, giving voice and agency to the women in Greek tales who are so often defined by the men they are associated with. Orphia s poetry may bring the gods to tears; John s words have the same effect on us mere mortals. Tragic and triumphant, a must-read! ANDREA STEWART, author of The Bone Shard Daughter Elyse John s deft language lays bare the exquisite intimacies of human connection, from the brutal - yet seductive - exercise of power over another, to the moments of tenderness and vulnerability between lovers. SHELLEY PARKER-CHAN, author of She Who Became the Sun Elyse John s Orphia and Eurydicius stunning retelling deftly explores Orphia s beginnings, her poetic ambitions, and her searing chemistry with Eurydicius, all of which challenge the gender dynamics of the time and death itself. A highly original read. STACEY THOMAS, author of The Revels Bold yet beautiful ... I was glued to the page, compelled by the story of Lady Orphia and her love, the gentle shieldmaker Eurydicius. Orphia and Eurydicius is a thoughtful consideration as to what it means to be a man, a woman, a hero, a human being. I loved this retelling and couldn t stop thinking about it: Lady Orphia has my heart. LAURA SHEPPERSON, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Heroines (UK), Phaedra (US) A cleverly conceived and lyrically crafted reimagining. John deftly weaves a compelling and insightful narrative that interrogates not only patriarchy but the gendered dynamics of love, romance and the role of artist and muse. It is a story about the importance of having a voice, and a delightful subversion of myth BEA FITZGERALD, Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen I found myself crying at the power of Elyse John s glittering, lyrical prose and the relationship at the heart of the novel. This is an excellent example of the power of mythological retellings as the novel makes us re-examine gender, heteronormativity and what makes a hero. I fell head over heels for this warrior-poet and gentle shieldmaker RANI SELVARAJAH, author of Savage Beasts Orphia and Eurydicius is a Greek retelling which stands out in an age of reiterations. The language is lyrical, the plot, enchanting. John is a writer who has clearly done the work, one whose courage aligns with her brave, protagonists, outliers in their own right. I find myself enamoured of both artist and novel; the tender yearning, the fierce desire, the sorrow and sacrifice. This book consumed three months of my life and yet, I want to give more. It will be hard to return to real life. (If I cannot have this type of love, I d rather have none at all). Orphia and Eurydicius is worthy of the greats. CH?K?D?L? EMEL?MAD?, author of Dazzling A gorgeous, sweeping tale that both evokes the feeling of classic mythology and intelligent and modern insight, this is a story of the boundaries we put on love and grief - I dare you to be unmoved by it. SAM HAWKE, author of City of Lies A beautiful, poetic ode to Greek myth, love, and the sheer power of women s art and women s voices. TASHA SURI, author of

The unbelievable true story of John Bishop, a former megachurch pastor who ended up running drugs for the Sinaloa Cartel.For thirty years, John Bishop was a pastor. Along the way, he learned that everyone does stupid things. We lie to our families. We lie to ourselves. We take long lunch breaks and sneak cigarettes when we said we’d quit. Sometimes, we take a sabbatical from our nice, comfortable life as a pastor and start running drugs for the Sinaloa Cartel, then get caught and spend five years in federal prison.Okay, that last one might just apply to John. But it does make for one hell of a story.In The Church of Living Dangerously, John tells that story in full for the first time—and you don’t know the half of it. Along the way, he brings readers along for the harrowing ride from the rough small town in Washington where he was born all the way to the dirty villages in Mexico where he fell in with some of the most dangerous criminals on the planet. There are backyard fight clubs where John learned to take a punch, the abandoned K-Mart where he used to preach every Sunday (sometimes with the help of wild animals), and the drug dens where he almost lost his life ten times over. It’s a story that seems too wild to be true. But it is true—and John has the scars, both literal and figurative, to prove it.Ride along with John as he gets arrested at the U.S.-Mexico border and learn the story of his life in all its rough, stupid glory of guns, drugs, tigers, bare-knuckle boxing matches, and prison riots. John has learned a lot of important lessons about hardship and redemption and family, and what it means to live dangerously—and to experience another chance at life.
