Inspired by the swashbuckling travelogues of Victorian diplomat Lord Dufferin, frail surburbanite Tim Moore sets out to prove his physical and spiritual worth before his sceptical Nordic in-laws by retracing Dufferin s epic voyage to Iceland and Spitzbergen. Dufferin s battles with icebergs, polar bears and the deep potations of hospitable Norsemen is a tale of derring-do; Moore s struggle against seasickness, vertigo and over-priced groceries is all too plainly one of derring-don t. As his bid to emulate the Empire tradition of fearless pluck in the face of adversity crumbles before haughty Icelandic skippers, a convoy of Norwegian Vikings and Spitzbergen s Soviet ghost towns, he finds himself transferring his affections to Dufferin s valet Wilson, a man so profoundly gloomy that he was seen to smile but once, when told that his colleague, the steward, had been almost thrown overboard . As Moore says, Dufferin seems the personification of Kipling s If . I m more of a But... man myself. FROST ON MY MOUSTACHE is the wretched apologia of a big earl s blouse.

The next round in Billy s fight is pain-racked, frank and reflective . . . an inspiring piece from a man who s been to hell and back and has the scars to prove it JOE COLE Brutally honest, dark and disturbing. A book that tells of the reality of drugs and a failing prison system NEIL SAMWORTH, author of Strangeways: A Prison Officer s Story Billy Moore writes with such a tragic authenticity that it kept me willing for him to succeed, even as I knew he was never too far from self-destruction. It s his self-awareness that I admire - unflinching and brutal and also, it should be said, his wonderful way with words Professor Emeritus DAVID WILSON, author of My Life with Murderers His life may have had many ups and downs, but Billy is a wonderful example of never giving up JAMES ENGLISH A true story of forgiveness, not only learning to forgive others but also learning to forgive yourself. An incredibly emotional story about an incredible man who s had an incredible journey LIAM HARRISON This time I am telling the story of my life both before prison in Thailand and what followed once I was back in the United Kingdom, my cancer diagnosis, more prison time and, finally, redemption. I am trying to understand aspects of my childhood that had a role in my eventual downward spiral into addiction, pain, misery and loss BILLY MOOREBilly Moore spent three years in Klong Prem prison in Thailand, popularly known as the Bangkok Hilton , where he witnessed acts of extreme violence and sexual assault. Eventually he found purpose through taking part in Muay Thai boxing tournaments in jail. Here, he found a wall of human community amongst the elite boxers and regained his sobriety.He was granted early release by the King of Thailand having excelled as a Muay Thai boxer in inter-prison tournaments. But back in the UK and a decade later - with his demons resurfacing - Billy s past caught up with him. He was caught and convicted of a burglary and was despatched to HMP Walton under then home secretary Theresa May s three-strikes rule. Billy has spent almost twenty-two years in various prisons, but since then, he has not only survived cancer, but also gone on to become a powerful advocate of boxing and anti-knife crime initiatives in the Liverpool area, training young boxers.A Prayer Before Dawn was made into a film directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire and starring Joe Cole, of Peaky Blinders fame. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017, but by the time it went on general release, Billy was back in prison in the UK.In this follow-up to Billy s first international bestseller, an autobiography set largely in Thailand s infamous prison system, Billy sets out to explore his experience of childhood abuse that would lead to a life of drug addiction and near-constant incarceration. After Billy s sentence in Klong Prem prison was commuted as a result of his extraordinary success as a Muay Thai boxer, he returned to the UK.In this vividly told story, Liverpudlian Billy contrasts his first-hand experience of one of the cruellest prison systems in the world with his experience of UK prisons. The result is, in part, a shocking exposé of the inadequacy of care and the lack of humanity in British prisons. But Billy s story is mainly one of rehabilitation, recovery and redemption. Rich in detail, honesty and humour, his book is a fast-paced, unputdownable read which shows how the human spirit can endure and eventually thrive.

Tim Moore completes his epic (and ill-advised) trilogy of cycling s Grand Tours. Julian Berrendero s victory in the 1941 Vuelta a Espana was an extraordinary exercise in sporting redemption: the Spanish cyclist had just spent 18 months in Franco s concentration camps, punishment for expressing Republican sympathies during the civil war. Seventy nine years later, perennially over-ambitious cyclo-adventurer Tim Moore developed a fascination with Berrendero s story, and having borrowed an old road bike with the great man s name plastered all over it, set off to retrace the 4,409km route of his 1941 triumph - in the midst of a global pandemic. What follows is a tale of brutal heat and lonely roads, of glory, humiliation, and then a bit more humiliation. Along the way Tim recounts the civil war s still-vivid tragedies, and finds the gregarious but impressively responsible locals torn between welcoming their nation s only foreign visitor, and bundling him and his filthy bike into a vat of antiviral gel.

Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn t really want to.Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela.Over 500 miles of extreme weather and agonising bestial sloth, it becomes memorably apparent that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist s couch. Hailed as the new Bill Bryson, he is in fact a writer of considerably more substance and the jokes come thick and fast Irish Times

** SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE**** SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARD - TRAVEL MEMOIR OF THE YEAR ** A beautiful and magnificent book. A paean to a simple act. I defy you to read this book and not be inspired to walk, march or hike - and as a result live a better life more connected with nature and the world around you. - Simon Reeve A lovely book, fast-flowing yet at every turn giving the reader pause for thought. Kate Humble makes a delightful companion, her words full of sunshine and the raw pleasure she radiates as she encounters life in its many unexpected forms. - Benedict Allen A lovely, civilised and transporting read, that should have all of us stepping out to meet the world with fresh eyes. - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall An enticing read that makes every walk Humble describes an adventure - Ranulph Fiennes I ve discovered that going for a daily walk has become as essential to me feeling good for the rest of the day as that first cup of tea. But I would argue that all I am doing is responding to a natural need we all have. Humans have always been migrants, the physiological urge to be nomadic is deep-rooted in all of us and perhaps because of that our brains are stimulated by walking. I solve all sorts of problems, formulate ideas, work things out to that gentle rhythm of self-propelled movement. - Kate HumbleThinking on My Feet tells the story of Kate s walking year - shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kate s inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout - capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows - and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity borne. As she explores the reasons why we walk, whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kate s reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action. Also featured are Kate s walks with others who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot in front of the other - the artist who walks to find inspiration for his next painting; the man who takes people battling with addiction to climb mountains; the woman who walked every footpath in Wales (3,700 miles) when she discovered she had cancer. This book will inspire you to change your perspective by applying walking to your daily endeavours. *PRAISE FOR THINKING ON MY FEET * A diary of sorts, charting a year of wonderful walks through the sun, wind and rain...each entry builds an image of her life in the great out

Elektronická kniha - autor Oskar Fuchs, 143 stran Válečný mág Zikmund Frost se místo prohánění sukní musí zase jednou věnovat práci pro Organizaci. Což mimo jiné obnáší eliminaci čarodějů a nbsp;dalších potvor. Někdo na něj ale přichystal podraz. Zdánlivě běžná akce v nbsp;brněnském pavilonu Anthropos se proto zvrhne v nbsp;krvavou lázeň. Aby toho nebylo málo, na scénu přichází opravdu mocný hráč z nbsp;dávné minulosti. V nbsp;Býčí skále u nbsp;Adamova tak po staletích opět zní nejen bušení kladiv, ale i nbsp;zoufalý křik rituálních lidských obětí. Jisté je, že než Frost zjistí, kdo za tím vším stojí, bude muset vystřílet ještě hodně zásobníků. A nbsp;taky přivolat posily. Naštěstí ví, kde je hledat. Na historickém pomezí Čech a nbsp;Moravy stával v nbsp;bažinách hrad Krotenful. A nbsp;strážil jej někdo, s nbsp;kým si skutečně není radno zahrávat.

For fans of McCarthy’s Bar, a debut memoir about a woman’s humorous and poignant solo adventures of self-discovery on Ireland’s backroads following a painful divorce. When an introverted, divorced, middle-aged mother and school librarian from the Midwest decides to leave her comfort zone and travel alone to Ireland, her desire to fulfill her dream overcomes her fear as she immerses herself into what will become an adventure of courage and self-discovery. Motivated by her love of Irish music and Celtic spirituality, along with her desire to find healing from depression and divorce, Diane sets off for Ireland, a country she’s been obsessed with for years. Her romantic preconceptions of the Emerald Isle quickly clash with reality, however, and while there she faces many obstacles, including driving the narrow, ill-marked roads throughout the countryside she traverses. Nevertheless, this first sojourn leads to three more trips over the next six years, and she gradually learns to navigate Ireland’s back roads—not to mention her own personal and spiritual roads toward self-discovery and acceptance. This heartfelt and humorous account of Diane’s adventures—including hanging out with an Irish rock band, traveling remote roads in search of a hermit nun, and meeting her favorite Irish musician not once but twice—is sure to inspire readers to get outside their own comfort zones and take some rewarding risks of their own.

WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZEWINNER OF IRISH BOOK OF THE YEARSHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZEâ ˜The most important work of contemporary reporting I have ever readâ ™ SALLY ROONEYThe Western world has turned its back on refugees, fuelling one of the most devastating human rights disasters in history.In August 2018, Sally Hayden received a Facebook message. â ˜Hi sister Sally, we need your help,â ™ it read. â ˜We are under bad condition in Libya prison. If you have time, I will tell you all the story.â ™ More messages followed from more refugees. They told stories of enslavement and trafficking, torture and murder, tuberculosis and sexual abuse. And they revealed something else: that they were all incarcerated as a direct result of European policy.From there began a staggering investigation into the migrant crisis across North Africa. This book follows the shocking experiences of refugees seeking sanctuary, but it also surveys the bigger picture: the negligence of NGOs and corruption within the United Nations. The economics of the twenty-first-century slave trade and the EUâ ™s bankrolling of Libyan militias. The trials of people smugglers, the frustrations of aid workers, the loopholes refugees seek out and the role of social media in crowdfunding ransoms. Who was accountable for the abuse? Where were the people finding solutions? Why wasnâ ™t it being widely reported?At its heart, this is a book about people who have made unimaginable choices, risking everything to survive in a system that wants them to be silent and disappear.

So many days I felt like a god, drunk with freedom and power, riding a motorcycle I’d crafted with my own two hands with that winged skull on my back. George Christie was president of the notorious Ventura charter of the Hells Angels for three decades. While Sonny Barger was the club’s reckless leader, George was the negotiator, the spokesman. In Exile on Front Street he takes us on an action-packed ride through his years as a Hells Angel, from the bloody brawl that started the war with the Mongols to learning that a contract had been taken out on him by the head of the Outlaws. He describes the brotherhood and the betrayals, being targeted by the Feds and his stretches in prison. He also reveals how the club changed, why he decided to leave for the sake of his family and how the leadership turned on him. Now Christie has decided to set the record straight in this hard-hitting account of what it means to be a Hells Angel through good times and bad.

A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellenSherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey â “ where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family â “ ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father â “ a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London â “ a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early â “ a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book s closing pages.Editor Nathan Evans says, It s an honour to be working with Martin on his memoir: he s such an important cultural figure, and a mentor for me, personally. I remember being nineteen, sat in the back of my parents car surrounded by boxes: I was on my way back to university, learning lines for a play I was in later that term. Mum turned around and asked what it was about; I didn t need to answer: I simply showed her the cover, with those four bold letters. Although it would take her some more months to ask the next question, she knew then; I am just one of the many, many young men â “ from 1979 right through to the present â “ who ve been so emboldened by Bent. This is the story of the man who had the honesty, and the bravery to write it.
