Charlotte Perkins Gilman's progressive views on feminism and mental health are powerfully showcased in her two most famous stories. The Yellow Wallpaper skillfully charts one woman's struggle with depression whilst Herland is an entertaining imagining of an all female utopia. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy Mangan. Confined to her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby, the nameless narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper keeps a secret diary in which she records the sprawling and shifting patterns of the room's lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness.This chilling story is based on the author's own experience of depression. In Herland, a trio of men set out to discover an all-female community rumoured to be hidden deep in the jungle. What they find surprises them all; they're captured by women who, for two thousand years, have lived in a peaceful and prosperous utopia without men.

Delightfully humorous account of a feminist utopia in which 3 male explorers stumble upon an all-female society isolated in a distant part of the earth. Early 20th-century vehicle for Gilman''s then-unconventional views of male-female behavior, motherhood, individuality, sense of community, sexuality, and other topics. Mischievous, ironic approach used to telling effect.

What would happen if society was run by women? Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines the result...When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere. How could these women survive without man''s knowledge, experience and strength, not to mention reproductive power? In fact, what they have found is a civilisation free from disease, poverty and the weight of tradition. All alone, the women have created a society of calm and prosperity, a feminist utopia that dares to threaten the very concept of male superiority. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LINDY WEST

''The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing.''Written with barely controlled fury after she was confined to her room for ''nerves'' and forbidden to write, Gilman''s pioneering feminist horror story scandalized nineteenth-century readers with its portrayal of a woman who loses her mind because she has literally nothing to do.Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin''s 80th birthday.

In 1892 a furious Charlotte Perkins Gilman put pen to paper and created the avant-garde feminist work The Yellow Wallpaper as a warning – in this haunting Gothic tale, a woman is confined to a room and forbidden to do anything interesting – and she loses her mind. In 1887, following a severe nervous breakdown, Gilman had been sent to a leading neurologist, she explains in ‘Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper’, also included in this volume. He was a ‘wise man’ who ‘put me to bed and applied the rest cure… and sent me home with solemn advice to “live as domestic a life as far as possible”… and “never to touch pen, brush or pencil again” as long as I lived. I went home and obeyed those directions for some three months, and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over.’ The Yellow Wallpaper is both a haunting illustration of the treatment of mental health and a chilling Gothic tale, and this new edition makes it ready to enchant another generation of readers.

A Penitent People: The Doctrine of RepentanceIn this refreshing exploration of a frequently misunderstood spiritual discipline, Harrison Perkins invites Christians to reconsider repentance not as a dreary obligation, but as a joyful gift of grace. With theological depth and pastoral sensitivity, Perkins shows how repentance is about freedom—Christ freeing His people from sin's enslaving power. Drawing from Scripture and Reformed tradition, A Penitent People illuminates repentance as both personal posture and communal practice. Through thoughtful examinations of key biblical passages, Perkins demonstrates that genuine repentance flows from faith, propels us toward Christ, and transforms both individuals and churches. This book challenges common misconceptions, showing that repentance isn't about earning God's favor but experiencing the freedom Christ purchased. Rather than focusing on guilt, Perkins emphasizes how repentance allows believers to enjoy the ‘twofold benefit’ of Christ—justification and progressive sanctification. Perfect for pastors, students, and everyday Christians seeking to deepen their spiritual life, A Penitent People offers a biblical vision of repentance that liberates rather than burdens—inviting readers to discover the sweet relief of turning from sin to embrace the goodness of God.

Peníze, mladou milenku a především úspěšný podnik, s nímž na sklonku devatenáctého století kočuje Evropou, aby publiku předvedl vousatou ženu, siamská dvojčata, obra nebo trpaslíky. Jednoho dne Perkinse navštíví Leopold Higgs, jeho starý známý, a nabídne mu, aby společně založili zábavní park v Čechách. Perkins souhlasí, aniž by tušil, jaké důsledky bude toto rozhodnutí mít nejen pro něj, ale i pro jeho svěřence.O téměř sto třicet let později přijíždí na místo bývalého zábavního parku doktor historie Benedikt Knesl se svojí praktikantkou Klárou, aby pomohli policii s nevšedním případem.

A common-sense guide to living rich . . . instead of dying rich Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired. The only thing you wasted along the way was . . . your life. Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called “golden years.” In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’s plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for. You’ll discover how to maximize your lifetime memorable moments with “time-bucketing,” how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your “net worth curve,” and how to navigate decisions about whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure with your “fulfillment curve” and “personal interest rate.” Using his own life experiences as well as the inspiring stories and cautionary tales of others—and drawing on eye-opening insights about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance—Perkins makes a timely, convincing, and contrarian case for living large.

***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15 EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS***False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the ‘corporatocracy’ – a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals – to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power" - Yanis Varoufakis"It comes from the heart.

War is coming and the predators are circling.Sir Thomas Blackstone, Edward III''s Master of War, has been tasked with securing Brittany for England. In the throes of battle, he rescues a young boy, sole witness to the final living breaths of the Queen of Castile.

The long-awaited monograph of the UK's leading graphic design and branding agency.The world is full of design companies, but none of them are like North. Formed in 1995 by Sean Perkins, the studio has always followed a highly individualistic path. This individualism manifests itself in many ways: most notably in the absence of a densely populated studio website; there are no hyperactive social media feeds; even the studio's name, derived from Perkins' origins in the unmetropolitan north of England, stands for frill-free, plain speaking, visual directness. It's almost as if North is a well-kept secret. Yet the group has a devoted worldwide following, and attracts myriad clients keen to hire them for their ability to produce memorable and carefully engineered visual identities.North's work is the product of sharp-brained research, high-end craft and precise visual expression. And as can be seen in the pages of this book, the studio's first monograph, the result is a rich crop of brand identities, packaging, exhibitions, books, posters and logos. It includes work for Tate, Southbank, Munch (Oslo), Co-op, Barbican, Samsung, Meta, Science Museum, The Royal Mint and M+ (Hong Kong). On the grounds that graphic design is required to 'speak for itself', the book dispenses with descriptive or biographical texts. Instead, the reader is engaged by more than 300 pages of articulate and eloquent visual expression, arranged in a rigorously planned mix of photography, typography, layout and colour.Like North itself, the book is unlike other design books. That's what makes it a North book.

A Financial Times Thriller of the Year.Dan Raglan, Foreign Legion veteran, finds himself entering one of the most brutal Russian prisons as he tries to settle old scores. A captivating spy thriller from critically acclaimed author David Gilman. Penal Colony No. 74, AKA White Eagle, lies some 600 kilometres north of Yekaterinburg in Russia''s Sverdlovskaya Oblast. Imprisoning the country''s most brutal criminals, it is a winter-ravaged hellhole of death and retribution. And that''s exactly why the Englishman is there. Six years ago, Raglan was a soldier in the French Foreign Legion engaged in a hard-fought war on the desert border of Mali and Algeria. Amid black ops teams and competing intelligence agencies, his strike squad was compromised and Raglan himself severely injured. His war was over, but the deadly aftermath of that day has echoed around the world ever since: the assassination of four Moscow CID officers; kidnap and murder on the suburban streets of West London; the fatal compromise of a long-running MI6 operation. Raglan can''t avoid the shockwaves. This is personal. It is up to him to finish it – and it ends in Russia''s most notorious penal colony. But how do you break into a high security prison in the middle of nowhere? More importantly, how do you get out?

Píše se rok 1939. Spojené státy se stále ještě zcela nevzpamatovaly z následků první světové války a Velké hospodářské krize a na obzoru se již stahují mračna hrozby nové války, neboť fašismus nabírá na síle i v nejtemnějších zákoutích Ameriky. I Gotham se zmítá v hospodářsko-společenském chaosu, ke kterému ještě přispívá náhlý nárůst násilné kriminality. Policejní komisař Gordon má plné ruce práce s vlnou brutálních vražd čelných představitelů města. Do toho všeho se objevuje tajemný strážce Bat-Man, který komisaři nabízí pomocnou ruku. Veškeré důkazy v rámci vyšetřování vražd popírají logiku – všichni pachatelé totiž zemřeli na elektrickém křesle. Když se však Bat-Man ocitne tváří v tvář jedné z těchto hrůzných anomálií, stěží unikne se zdravou kůží – což vrhá stín pochybností na jeho schopnost přežít ve světě, který se kolem něj brutálně vyvíjí! Tato kniha přináší zajímavý pohled na slavného hrdinu v samých začátcích jeho kariéry, kdy se stále ještě učí nejen to, jak se vypořádat s pestrou škálou zločinců, ale také jak si vybírat spojence a komu důvěřovat, aby v pochmurném prostředí gothamského podsvětí vůbec přežil. Dva z nejlepších komiksových vypravěčů, legendární scenárista Dan Jurgens (Superman, Action Comics) a výtvarník Mike Perkins (The Swamp Thing, Action Comics), spojili své síly, aby napsali strhující příběh zasazený do časů prvních dobrodružství Temného rytíře!
