Charming and charismatic, Catherine caught the eye of Lord Porchester (or Porchey , as he was known) when she was just 20 years old, and wearing a pale yellow dress at a ball. She had already turned down 14 proposals before she eventually married Porchey in 1922. But less than a year later Porchey s father died suddenly, and he became the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, inheriting a title and a Castle that changed both their lives forever. Catherine found herself suddenly in charge of a small army of household staff, and hosting lavish banquets and weekend house parties. Although the couple were very much in love, considerable challenges lay ahead for Catherine. They were immediately faced with the task of saving Highclere when debts threatened to destroy the estate. As the 1920s moved to a close, Catherine s adored brother died and she began to lose her husband to the distractions London had to offer. When the Second World War broke out, life at the Castle would never be the same again. Drawing on rich material from the private archives at Highclere, including beautiful period photographs, the current Countess of Carnarvon transports us back to the thrilling and alluring world of the real Downton Abbey and its inhabitants.

Not since Trout Fishing in America has Brautigan so successfully combined his wild sense of humour with his famous poetic imagination. In this parody of the hard-boiled crime novel, the adventures of seedy, not-too-bright C.Card are a delight to both the mind and the heart.

In the â ˜middle of lifeâ ™ â “ although this is only thirty-six â “ and with the unsparing eye of a portraitist, Lavinia reviews her frustrations and her solitariness, the grief and the rapture: these are her seeming companions in a pageant presided over, as it were, by the medieval masks of Owl, signifying winter, and Cuckoo, for erotic love. In attendance are dreams of rustic places and once-dear animals. But it is no ordinary procession, for her childhood comes last. The idiosyncratic Dreaming of Dead People was first published in 1979, yet remains as surprising as ever: it is frank, mordantly funny, true to itself and raw.

The brilliant untold story of three daughters of diplomacy: Anna Roosevelt, Sarah Churchill, and Kathleen Harriman, glamorous, fascinating young women who accompanied their famous fathers to the Yalta Conference with Stalin in the waning days of World War II.With victory close at hand, the Yalta conference was held across a tense week in February 1945 as Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin attempted to agree on an end to the war, and to broker post-war peace.In Daughters of Yalta, Catherine Katz uncovers the dramatic story of the three young women who travelled with their fathers to the Yalta conference, each bound by fierce ambition and intertwined romances that powerfully coloured these crucial days. Kathleen Harriman, twenty-seven, was a champion skier, war correspondent, and daughter to US Ambassador to Russia Averell Harriman. She acted as his translator and arranged much of the conferenceâ ™s fine detail. Sarah Churchill, an actress-turned-RAF officer, was devoted to her brilliant father, who in turn depended on her astute political mind. FDRâ ™s only daughter, Anna, chosen over Eleanor Roosevelt to accompany the president to Yalta, arrived there as holder of her fatherâ ™s most damaging secret.Telling the little-known story of the huge role these women played in a political maelstrom and the shaping of a post-war world, Daughters of Yalta is a remarkable account of behind-the-scenes female achievement, and of fathers and daughters whose relationships were tested and strengthened in their joint effort to shape one of the most precarious periods of recent history.

A new look at the origins of humanitarian intervention  We are encouraged to empathize with the suffering of distant strangers every day, from ads for UNICEF to the outcry over Russia⠙s invasion of Ukraine. But where did this type of politics come from?  Historian and practicing barrister Catherine Arnold locates the religious origins of humanitarian politics in early eighteenth-century Britain and Europe. In the late seventeenth century, British politicians argued for ⠜confessional intervention⠝⠔in other words, for interventions to protect Britain⠙s fellow Protestants in continental Europe. By the 1740s, however, a cadre of high-ranking British officials was advocating instead for a new form of ⠜humanitarian intervention,⠝ using natural law⠓inflected language to justify its claims. Between 1690 and 1745, British officials intervened diplomatically to protect not only Protestants in France, northwestern Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire, but also Jewish fugitives from Portugal, Catholic dissidents in France, and Jewish refugees in Bohemia.  Arnold shows that this new type of intervention was intended to stop states from torturing, imprisoning, or expelling their subjects and was justified with humanitarian arguments. British officials contended that state persecution⠔that is, using state authority to punish a subject only because of her religious beliefs⠔violated natural law. They asserted that Britain had a duty to prevent states from violating natural law and an ethical obligation to aid sufferers of all religious faiths out of common humanity.

This book is one of the most important recent books on Hegel, a philosopher who has had a crucial impact on the shape of continental philosophy. Published here in English for the first time, it includes a substantial preface by Jacques Derrida in which he explores the themes and conclusions of Malabou s book.The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic restores Hegel s rich and complex concepts of time and temporality to contemporary philosophy. It examines his concept of time, relating it to perennial topics in philosophy such as substance, accident and the identity of the subject. Catherine Malabou s also contrasts her account of Hegelian temporality with the interpretation given by Heidegger in Being and Time, arguing that it is the concept of plasticity that best describes Hegel s theory of temporality. The future is understood not simply as a moment in time, but as something malleable and constantly open to change through our interpretation. The book also develops Hegel s preoccupation with the history of Greek thought and Christianity and explores the role of theology in his thought.Essential reading for those interested in Hegel and contemporary continental philosophy, The Future of Hegel is also fascinating to those interested in the ideas of Heidegger and Derrida.

When American editor Hugo Gernsback began publishing Amazing Stories, the first ever monthly magazine devoted to the emerging genre of science fiction, in April 1926 in New York City, he had no choice but to reprint the earlier works of classics by Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and Edgar Allan Poe in the first nine issues. It was only in the following years that new names appeared in the pages of the magazine. The very first new author to appear in Amazing Stories was Miles J. Breuer, whose short story The Man with the Odd Head Gernsback included in the January 1927 issue just after Wells completion of The First Men in the Moon. But the life story and literary work of the now forgotten Nebraska doctor, who was considered a true star of the genre by American science fiction readers at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, is much more varied and interesting. He didn t start writing for Amazing Stories; he published his first story that could be classified as science fiction almost two decades earlier, but without readers noticing. Not only that, but many of his literary works, including early short stories (only later published in science fiction magazines), were originally written and published in Czech under the name Miloslav J. Breuer. He is interesting and relevant today because he may have been the first to come up with the idea of autonomous, self-driving cars. Když americký editor Hugo Gernsback začal v dubnu 1926 v New Yorku vydávat měsíčník Amazing Stories, vůbec první časopis věnovaný nově vznikajícímu žánru science fiction, v prvních devíti číslech mu nezbylo než reprintovat dříve vydané práce klasiků Julese Vernea, H. G. Wellse a Edgara Allana Poea. Teprve v následujících letech se na stránkách magazínu objevila čtenářům nová jména. Tím vůbec prvním novým autorem v Amazing Stories byl Miles J. Breuer, jehož povídku Muž se zvláštní hlavou Gernsback zařadil hned za dokončení Wellsova románu První lidé na Měsíci do lednového čísla roku 1927. Životní příběh i literární dílo dnes zapomenutého lékaře z Nebrasky, kterého američtí čtenáři science fiction na přelomu 20. a 30. let považovali za opravdovou hvězdu žánru je ale mnohem pestřejší a zajímavější. Nezačal totiž psát až pro Amazing Stories, svou první povídku, kterou bychom mohli řadit k science fiction, vydal o téměř dvě desetiletí dříve, aniž by si jí ale čtenáři všimli. A nejenom to, řadu ze svých literárních děl, včetně raných povídek (teprve později vydaných v science fiction magazínech), původně napsal a vydal už česky pod jménem Miloslav J. Breuer. Dnes je zajímavý a aktuální i tím, že možná jako první přišel s myšlenkou autonomních, samořídících automobilů.
