Step into one of the most stunning protected estates in Provence along the Mediterranean coastline and join Carole Bamford, renowned English organic farm founder and lifestyle visionary, as she shares the fascinating story behind the renovation of the chateau and the preservation of the land Nestled on a spectacular rocky peninsula, the Léoube estate looks out on one of the most breathtaking stretches of French coastline. When Carole Bamford and her husband discovered their “sleeping beauty” over 20 years ago, they knew the property would need love, attention, and plenty of imagination. Seeing past the tangled overgrowth and the tired exteriors, the Bamfords glimpsed what this place could be for their family. Charmed by sloping vineyards, silvered olive trees, and the heady scent of lavender mingling with salty sea air, they began to imagine a future for Chateau Léoube that would befit its storied past. Working alongside internationally renowned architect Alain Raynaud, they began to restore the estate and breathe life back into its land. With this book, Bamford invites readers to step inside her stunning home in the South of France and join her as she shares the fascinating story of how her vision for Léoube became a reality.

How to be Idle is Tom Hodgkinson''s brilliant guide to reclaiming your right to be idle''Well written, funny and with a scholarly knowledge of the literature of laziness, it is both a book to be enjoyed at leisure and to change lives'' Sunday TimesAs Oscar Wilde said, doing nothing is hard work. A burn-out work ethic has most of us in its thrall, and the idlers of this world have the odds stacked against them. But here, at last, is a book that can help. Hodgkinson presents us with a laid-back argument for a new contract between routine and chaos, an argument for experiencing life to the full and living in the moment. Ranging across a host of issues that affect the modern idler:-Sleep-Work-Pleasure and hedonism -Relationships-Bohemian living-Revolution Drawing on the writings of such well-known apologists for idleness as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson and Nietzsche, his message is clear: take control of your life and reclaim your right to be idle.

Nesobecký hermetismus zasvěcený léčení a harmonii provázel a každou náboženskou epochu a zjevení. Hermetický a alchymický přístup k přírodě se neomezuje jen na Západ nebo na abrahámovská náboženství, ale je zcela univerzální. Alchymie se praktikovala všude na světě - existuje alchymie indická, tibetská, čínská a další a dodnes nabízí soucitnou, kosmickou, holistickou a nedualistickou alternativu k fragmentaci a odcizení moderní vědy. Na jaře a v létě 2006 svolal Pir Zia Khan řadu setkání, na nichž se začal objevovat současný význam starobylé posvátné vědy pro naši dobu. Zelený hermetismus je částečným záznamem těchto setkání. Peter Lamborn Wilson, zkoumá mnohé důsledky alternativního pohledu na svět, který nabízí hermetismus; Christopher Bamford poskytuje široký historický přehled tradice od antických mystérií až po současné projevy alchymistické tradice; zatímco Kevin Townley vnáší do setkání praktický rozměr, učí přípravě bylinných elixírů a ukazuje, že kosmologie a filozofie se mohou stát skutečně léčivou cestou pro Zemi.

Christopher Bamford je jedním z nemnoha, kteří dokážou snoubit inteligenci s krásou. Tato hluboce duchovní kniha odhaluje skrytou jednotu mezi duchem a hmotou, mezi lidstvím, přírodou a božstvím. Pod povrchem našich duchovních dějin se proplétají dva mocné motivy: touha poznávat a touha milovat. Tajné dějiny Západu jsou utvářeny příběhy světců, mystiků, alchymistů, básníků a filosofů, kteří se pokoušeli sjednotit tyto dva proudy a oslavit tak posvátný sňatek Logu a Sofie, Slova a Moudrosti. Tato kniha, která představuje impresionistické dějiny západní duchovní tradice, kráčí po stopách těch, kteří se od antického Řecka do současnosti pokoušeli poznat svět a sebe sama, zatímco si uvědomovali,že k tomu, aby mohli milovat svět a sebe navzájem, musí překonat sami sebe.

Best known for his unforgettable roles in Monty Python, from the Flying Circus to The Meaning of Life, Eric Idle reflects on the meaning of his own life in this brilliantly entertaining memoir that takes us on an unforgettable journey from his childhood in an austere boarding school through his successful career in comedy, television, theatre and film. Coming of age as a writer and comedian during the Sixties and Seventies, Eric stumbled into the crossroads of the cultural revolution and found himself rubbing shoulders with the likes of George Harrison, David Bowie and Robin Williams, all of whom became lifelong friends. With anecdotes sprinkled throughout that involve other close friends and luminaries such as Mick Jagger, Steve Martin, Paul Simon and Mike Nichols - let alone the Pythons themselves - Eric captures a time of tremendous creative output with equal hilarity and heart. In Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, named after the song he wrote for Life of Brian that has since become the number-one song played at funerals in the UK, he shares the highlights of his life and career with the off-beat humour that has delighted audiences for decades. A legend in his own lunchtime, Eric is the author of many books, some not half bad, some not even a quarter bad. Now he enters his anecdotage as the last word in Python memoirs, and the last of this extraordinary group to tell his story. 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of The Pythons, and Eric is celebrating the occasion with this laugh-out-loud memoir, chock-full of behind-the-scenes stories from a high-flying life that features everyone from Princess Leia to the Queen.
