The Prophecies of Merlin - John Matthews, Maarten Haverkamp

Reveals forgotten Arthurian lore hidden in the prophetic language of a medieval text• Includes the story of Merlin’s birth as the son of a demon, how he was born already able to speak, how his magic ensured he was not killed by his babysitter, and details of his affair with the Lady of the Lake• Shares stories of Percival’s first contact with the Grail and King Arthur’s connection with the legendary mystical king Prester John• Includes early Welsh prophecies attributed to Merlin, prophecies compiled by historian Geoffrey of Monmouth, and the letter of Prester John that inspired ColumbusMaarten Haverkamp acquired a French book from 1498 titled The Prophecies of Merlin that claimed to be prophecies given by the legendary magician. The book was really a compilation of documents collected by an unknown 13th century monk. Working with John Matthews, Maarten spent five years translating the mysteries hidden in this obscure book.Presenting their translation and commentary, the authors share forgotten stories of early Arthurian literature and magic. They share the tale of Merlin’s birth from a demon, how he was born able to speak, and how his magic ensured he was not killed by his guardian. Merlin’s affair with the Lady of the Lake is detailed, ending with his imprisonment in a tomb. Other stories include Percival’s first contact with the Grail and King Arthur’s connection with the mystical king Prester John. The authors show how The Prophecies of Merlin sheds new light on the world of King Arthur and the women who learned magic from Merlin.To reveal the esoteric meaning of this work, the authors include Welsh prophecies attributed to Merlin (translated by John and Caitlín Matthews), other prophecies attributed to Merlin that were compiled by Geoffrey of Monmouth, and the original letter of Prester John that inspired the Polo family and Columbus to search for India.Discovering a hitherto lost or forgotten book about Merlin and King Arthur is a rare event these days. Yet here the authors present a virtually forgotten and, to date, untranslated book, which includes much that is new—and exciting—about the legendary king and his magical adviser. Through their translation and insightful passage by passage commentary, they reveal secrets long hidden behind the obscure language of the prophetic utterances.

Tarot divokého lesa - John Matthews, Will Worthington, Ryan Mark

Pro všechny, které lákají tajemné hvozdy Vstupte do divokého lesa a ocitněte se ve světě, kde vládnou příroda a mýty, prostota i hluboké poznání. Kráčet mezi letitými stromy znamená cestovat zpět do dob, kdy jsme byli jiní a náš vztah k moudrosti předků byl stejně samozřejmý jako dýchání. Je málo témat, která jdou takto hluboko. V Tarotu divokého lesa nás Mark Ryan a John Matthews seznamují s klasickými lesními archetypy, jako jsou Zelený muzž a Zelená žena, Muž v kápi, Lučištnice, či Rozťatý dub. Jsou zde i zvířata se symbolickými významy jako Jestřáb, Zajíc, Vydra a Vlk – tvorové, kteří se kdysi pohybovali spolu s námi po zelené divočině a ozvěnu jejich přítomnosti cítíme i dnes. Živé a barvité obrazy Willa Worthingtona probouzejí tento svět k životu a dávají nám pocítit sílu a magickou moc divokého lesa. Tarot divokého lesa čerpá inspiraci z předkeltské mytologie a víry založené na moudrosti šamanů a zákonech lesa. Vychází z koloběhu ročních období a pradávných oslav a umožňuje nám tak opět navázat spojení s dávno ztraceným světem, s jehož pomocí dokážeme lépe porozumět sobě samotným.

Buďte šťastní i v těžkých dobách - Andrew Matthews

Hledat štěstí není sobecké. Sobecké je být nešťastný. Spokojení lidé jsou vnímavější a pozornější, jsou lepšími partnery, přáteli i zaměstnanci. Utrápení lidé se zajímají jen o sebe a ostatním berou energii. Štěstí netkví v tom, co nám osud nadělí, ale v našem postoji k sobě samému a k životním událostem. Prvním krokem k vyrovnané existenci je přijmout to, co máme, nečekat a nesnít o tom, že budeme šťastní teprve "až se něco stane". Andrew Matthews dokazuje, že člověk může dosáhnout štěstí za všech okolností, v každém okamžiku, už předtím, než se mu podaří zhubnout, než najde ideálního partnera nebo získá vysněné zaměstnání.

A British establishment figure. A shocking crime. A miscarriage of justice. The search for truth. In 1952, in a peaceful corner of Provence, a farmer''s son stumbled upon a terrible scene. Three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter savagely beaten to death. They were all British. So begins one of the most notorious murder cases in French history. Sir Jack Drummond was a senior advisor to the British government, a household name who was respected and admired. His fame made the case a cause célèbre in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummond''s life and death remain unanswered. In this bold new investigation, Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith strip away the prejudice and propaganda to reveal a grave miscarriage of justice. A light is shone on Drummond''s secret life in the shadows of the Cold War, painting a portrait of an enigmatic man who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be, and recasting one of the twentieth century''s most notorious murders in a fascinating and important new light.

The Murder of Judith Roberts - Chris Clark, Tanita Matthews

In the Summer of 1972, 14-year-old Judith Roberts took off for a bike ride within the vicinity of her Staffordshire home. Her body was discovered after a three-day manhunt, concealed from view in a thick privet having been brutally attacked. The community of Tamworth was rocked by the news of her death and an outcry for justice ensued. Within weeks of her murder, an impressionable and troubled soldier, based in the nearby barracks, 17-year-old Andrew Evans, walked into a police station and confessed to the killing. Relentlessly interviewed for hours on end without representation or an appropriate adult present, Andrew was swiftly charged with Judith's murder. Despite attempting to recount his statement and a legal defence at trial that defied the prosecution's arguments that Andrew Evans was guilty, a judge sentenced him to life behind bars. He was eventually acquitted in 1997 in what was, at the time, Britain's longest miscarriage of justice. While Andrew Evans fought for his freedom, another man drove up and down England undetected: Peter William Sutcliffe. Eventually proven capable of inflicting unimaginable horror at any given opportunity, an independent inquiry dubbed him likely responsible for more murders than the 13 he was convicted of and the seven others he attempted between 1975 and 1980. In _The Murder of Judith Roberts_, Chris Clark and Tanita Matthews examine evidence that concludes that Sutcliffe, whose violent criminal history dates back as far as 1969, was the real culprit responsible for Judith's murder. With never before-published dialogue from Andrew Evans' police interviews showing the grave miscarriage of justice, the case file of the five-decade cold case is examined under a new light.

The Book of Merlin - John Matthews

Merlin remains the most famous and familiar image of the magician we possess. Best known as the advisor of the young King Arthur, he was also a famous seer, whose books of prophecies have been reprinted countless times since the Middle Ages and are still in print today. He has reappeared in numerous guises in modern times, in film, TV and books, as well as being studied as an exponent of shamanism, seership and ancient wisdom.Arthurian expert John Matthews examines the many guises of Merlin ‒ as seer, prophet, magician and, perhaps surprisingly, as lover, and as an inspirer of people from all walks of life. He traces the historical origin of Merlin as a Celtic warrior, the later literary forms of his growing legend in the myths of Arthur, and his more recent manifestations in fantasy writing. Also explored is the important connection between Merlin and the Druids.Spanning the ages and delving into some of the most colourful corners of human history, The Book of Merlin presents a new look at an age-old character. The author has provided a new translation of the poems of Myrddin Wyllt, Merlin’s prophecies in the wilderness: ‘Snow to my knees, ice in my beard.’

Rob Roy - Sir Walter Scott

With an Introduction and Notes by David Blair.From its first publication in 1816 Rob Roy has been recognised as containing some of Scott''s finest writing and most engaging, fully realised characters. The outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor was already a legendary, disputed figure by the time Scott wrote - a heroic Scottish Robin Hood to some, an over-glamorised, unprincipled predator to others.Scott approaches Rob Roy indirectly, through the adventures of his fictional hero, Frank Osbaldistone, amid the political turmoil of England and Scotland in 1715. With characteristic care Scott reconstructs the period and settings so as to place Rob Roy and the Scotland he inhabits amid conflicting moral, economic and historical forces.This edition features, besides a new critical introduction and extensive explanatory notes, an essay outlining clearly the novel''s historical context and a glossary of Scottish words and phrases used by Scott''s colourful, vernacular characters.

Overreach - Owen Matthews

Winner of the Pushkin House Book Prize 2023*A Telegraph Book of the Year* A Times Best Book of Summer 2023*Shortlisted for the Parliamentary Book Awards*An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol.The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why?Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky.Using the accounts of current and former insiders from the Kremlin and its propaganda machine, the testimony of captured Russian soldiers and on-the-ground reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Overreach tells the story not only of the war’s causes but how the first six months unfolded.With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked Europe to its core.

Kompozice pro fotografy - Scott Kelby

Kdybyste si ve čtyřicátých letech minulého století pořídili knihu o kompozici, uvnitř byste našli kapitoly „Pravidlo třetin“, „Vodicí linie“ a „Využití vzorů“. Takové „vodicí linie“ jsou známé už od 18. století, ale stále se o nich učíme. Tyto poučky fungují dobře, ale ani zdaleka nepokrývají komplexní podstatu kompozice. Musí v tom být přece něco víc, jinak by už všichni byli mistry, ne? Toto je první kniha, která překračuje zažitá pravidla kompozice opakovaná v každém textu o fotografování. Scott Kelby sdílí dosud nevyslovené myšlenky a odhaluje některá z nejstřeženějších tajemství fotografie v přelomové publikaci, jež se svým zpracováním hodí do učeben i do kavárny. Kniha Kompozice má schopnost změnit způsob, jakým se díváte kolem sebe a jak odteď budete vytvářet své další snímky. Naučíte se, jak pracovat se scénou, pokud jde o fotografování krajiny, cestování i portréty, a získáte spoustu cenných rad, jak krok za krokem postupovat. Navíc se dozvíte, co dělat, když neexistují žádné vodicí čáry a nefunguje ani pravidlo třetin, nebo jak se přizpůsobit okolním podmínkám a jak to může proměnit kompozici vašeho snímku. Dodejte fotografiím hloubku a vyvolejte jimi emoce, které diváka vtáhnou a nepustí! Kniha mimo jiné obsahuje kapitolu s tipy a triky, a dokonce krátkou část o klasických pravidlech kompozice. Každému z tradičních pravidel je spravedlivě věnována jedna stránka – jsou krátké a Scott Kelby v nich jde rovnou k věci. Díky autorovu neformálnímu stylu, který je pro něj typický, se můžete soustředit na tipy, které přesahují rámec zažitých pravidel. Připravte se přehodnotit všechno, co znáte, a vyfoťte přesně takové snímky, o jakých jste vždy snili. O autorovi: Scott Kelby je světově nejprodávanější autor fotografických knih a také redaktor a vydavatel časopisu Lightroom Magazine, producent LightroomKillerTips.com, redaktor a vydavatel časopisu Photoshop User a také každý týden moderuje známý fotografický pořad The Grid. Scott je CEO KelbyOne.com, portálu zaměřeného na vzdělávání fotografů po celém světě. Je také oceňovaným autorem více než devadesáti knih, mimo jiné například pětidílné série Digitální fotografie, Photoshop – kanály, Adobe Photoshop – úpravy digitálních fotografií, To nejlepší z Digitální fotografie, Portrét v přirozeném světle a mnoho dalších knih o Photoshopu, Lightroomu a fotografii.

To, že obliba Cunninghamových knih o wicce a přírodní magii i nadále trvá, svědčí o tom, že jeho texty mají skutečnou moc a pravdivost. Nyní, více než dvacet let po své smrti, je Scott Cunningham stále ikonou a vysoce hodnocenou osobností ve wiccanské komunitě.

In the Low - Justin McRoberts, Scott Erickson

We spend time in the Low because we''re human, not because we''re broken.In the Low is a collection of contemplative words and images for seasons of depression. It is a book designed to meet you where you are and sit with you there the way God does: intentionally and without judgment.For many of us, the question isn''t whether or not we will enter into depression but how to be there when we do. In those low places, we experience disconnection from others, from a meaningful life, and from God, and it can be difficult to know what to think or pray. This is where art and the honest prayers of others can help us name what we''re experiencing so we know we''re not alone. In the Low is designed to meet you in the dark and linger there with you as you sit under the weight of depression or despair. Instead of shaming you for how you feel, minimizing your pain, or suggesting quick fixes, Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson offer you prayers in language and imagery that can help you be honest and vulnerable with yourself and with God. Featuring poetic prayers for deeper relationships, healing from trauma, a hopeful future, and more, In the Low meets you where you are in your journey and calls you deeper into the heart of God--who is not afraid of the dark."In the Low has a permanent spot on my bookshelf. I''m grateful for the unhurried connection Scott and Justin offer to us through their words, images, and humanity."--Emily P. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk into a Room"Here is a tender guide, not to answers but to the shared humanity of searching, waiting, and finding meaning in the in-between."--David Gungor, The Brilliance "I can offer no higher compliment than this: Someone I love dearly picked up this book during a stretch of pressing darkness, and it helped them."--Shauna Niequist, author of I Guess I Haven''t Learned That Yet"As someone who has wanted to end it all in her own season of depression, and who accompanies many others in theirs, In the Low is the gift I''ve longed for."--Tara Owens, executive director, Anam Cara Ministries, spiritual director, and author of Embracing the Body "Depression has a way of turning prayer into a foreign language, leaving us stammering in the dark for words we once spoke with ease. In the Low gives voice to those struck speechless by despair, honoring the sacred truth that faith often speaks through the shadows."--Jonathan Merritt, columnist and author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch "In the Low acts as a companion to our seasons of melancholy without rushing us to ''fix'' anything. It meets us where we are, as we are. This book resonates deeply within my angsty artist heart, and I''m so grateful it exists in the world."--Jess Janz, poet and founder of Dinner with Strangers "Scott and Justin created a hand to hold in the valley, and I''m grateful to the both of them for how warm it is."--Levi The Poet, spoken word artist "As I read the honest, simple prayers in this book and let the clear and powerful illustrations do their work on me, I felt: ''This will help, not hurt. This will help make things better, not worse.'' You will treasure this book, I predict, and come back to it again and again."--Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Life After Doom"In the Low is accompaniment for the places inside that deserve to be known, the wordless places that need words, the dark and diffuse places that need form and shape."--Dr. Hillary L. McBride, psychologist, podcast host, author, and mother"In the Low is a warm, tender, desperately needed book that doesn''t speak about the ache but from inside of it. This is the rare work of ''spirituality'' that is not abstract, detached, clichéd, or avoidant but instead gives us the language to speak the unspeakable."--Jonathan Martin, author of How to Survive a Shipwreck and The Road Away from God "In the Low is both simple and subversive, inviting us not simply into peace but fuller personhood."--K.J. Ramsey, licensed therapist and author of The Book of Common Courage"Encounter this book on its own terms. Encounter this book at the necessarily slow pace of God. And above all, encounter this book and come to know the joy of the God of the Low."--Curt Thompson, MD, author of The Deepest Place and The Soul of Desire"In the Low gives us permission to name the ache in our hearts without rushing to fix it. What a relief to discover honest prayers and art that offer a flicker of hope for the dark nights of the soul."--Kayla Craig, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way and creator of Liturgies for Parents"Through this book, Justin and Scott offer us words, images, and their own selves in ways that gently dispel that piece of the darkness and give us a sense of companions who see us, know us, and care."--Donna Hatasaki, senior director of spiritual formation, Young Life"Dark seasons aren''t optional--they''re the price of admission for being human.

The Sartorialist: India - Reuel Golden, Scott Schuman, Bandana Tewari

Scott Schuman, a.k.a. The Sartorialist, has been traveling to India for over a decade to capture its wildly original beauty in markets, music festivals, city streets, and cricket fields, and across cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, and Mumbai. The result gathers all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist´s eye, a humanist´s empathy, and a fashion aficionado´s appreciation for design. An intoxicating mix of color, pattern, and texture, The Sartorialist: India is a photographic tribute to the country´s diversity and splendor. Famed American photographer and blogger Scott Schuman journeyed to India many times to capture its wildly idiosyncratic styles, whether on the streets, in markets, on the cricket fields, or at residences in cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Pushkar, and Mumbai. Schuman´s affinity for his subjects is evident, and he celebrates people of all ages and from all walks of life, from ravers, transgender subjects, wrestlers, surfers, grandfathers, and fashionistas to children and laborers. He also shines a light on the new India as much as on the time-honored. The casually chic layering of textiles, the enduring prevalence of traditional attire, and India´s pure physical beauty all add up to a richly satisfying visual and cultural experience. The images are also illuminated by an introduction by the acclaimed fashion writer Bandana Tewari. This vibrant monograph is Schuman´s first for TASCHEN, and it showcases all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist´s eye for a decisive moment, a humanist´s sense of empathy, and a fashion aficionado´s appreciation for design. The photographer Based in New York City, Scott Schuman had worked in fashion marketing and branding when, in the early 2000s, he began casually photographing stylish people he encountered on the street and posting the images to a blog he called The Sartorialist. Schuman quickly garnered an avid following, and went on to shoot campaigns for Gap, Verizon, Nespresso, DKNY Jeans, Absolut, and Burberry. His work resides in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Revealing the breadth of F. Scott Fitzgerald''s gift for the short story form, this Penguin Classics edition of The Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories spans multiple genres and styles to dazzling effect.Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here - including ''The Cut-Glass Bowl'' in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family''s misfortunes, ''The Four Fists'' where a man''s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of ''May Day'' - F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories.''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'', originally published in 1922, was made into a major motion picture directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the ''great American novel''. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed ''the first American Flapper'', and their traumatic marriage and Zelda''s gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon. After his death The New York Times said of him that ''in fact and in the literary sense he created a "generation" ''.If you enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, you might like Fitzgerald''s The Great Gatsby, also available in Penguin Classics.''A master of the American short story''The Philadelphia Enquirer''His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly''s wings'' Ernest Hemingway

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald''s classic novel The Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann''s film.''There was music from my neighbour''s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.''Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby''s mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby''s origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that ''he killed a man''. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for.As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsby''s destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences.''Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, it''s one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written'' TimeF. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
