Imperial Island - Charlotte Lydia Riley
Imperial Island shows how empire and its ever-present aftermath have divided and defined Britain over the last seventy years. 'An eye-opening study of the empire within' SHASHI THAROOR'Clear, bold, refreshing' LUCY WORSLEYAfter the Second World War, Britain's overseas empire disintegrated. But the effects of empire lived on, shaping its population and politics and dominating its relationship with the world ever since.Drawing on a mass of new research, from personal letters to pop culture, Imperial Island tells this dramatic story of imperial demise and its potent legacy, from the Suez Crisis to the Falklands War, from the invasion of Iraq to Brexit. It is a story of immigration and social unrest, multiculturalism and extremism, and a nation continuously wrestling with its past. 'Incisive, important and incredibly timely .. . for anyone wanting to understand how Britain became the nation it is today ' CAROLINE ELKINS'Marvellous .. . A thought-provoking delight that absolutely everyone should read' STEPHEN BUSH'Absorbing .. . dexterously handled and carefully sourced’ Financial Times‘Masterful, ingeniously written.You won't look at Britain in the same way ever again’ OWEN JONES

Is Free Speech Under Threat? - Charlotte Lydia Riley, Suzanne Nossel
Two leading thinkers present alternative answers to one of the most difficult and divisive questions of our times: Is free speech under threat?Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, the leading free expression organisation, argues that alongside the necessary and long-overdue elevation of minority voices in recent years, there has also arisen an uncompromising intolerance – most notably on university campuses and online – that wrongly equates a wide range of offensive speech with violence and seeks to shut it down. This has led to an escalating free speech arms race, from which everyone loses.Charlotte Lydia Riley, historian of empire and editor of The Free Speech Wars, argues that accusations of cancel culture and defences of free speech are too often disingenuous attempts to fuel a culture war and so inhibit an important realignment in which hateful speech is at last being called out for what it is and the right to free expression is being extended to more people than ever before.Published in conjunction with Intelligence Squared, the world’s leading curator of debate, this book is part of the THINK AGAIN series: short books that present two expert, contrasting but equally persuasive views in a single volume that can be ...

Riley Cars 1896-1969 - Rob Malpas
Riley is one of the most famous British car manufacturers and this book covers the entire history of the company, from its early beginnings as a bicycle manufacturer to ownership by the British Motor Corporation (BMC). The author describes each of the Riley models during its long development, from the pre-1926 models, through the Riley 9 light sporting car, the straight-six models and the Specials to the BMC Rileys.Discover the various engineering firsts that were achieved by Riley, including engine innovations such as mechanically operated cylinder valves, and which helped Riley to become not only an established car manufacturer but also successful in rallies and on the racing circuit.Having made its mark in the history of British car manufacturing, Riley suffered from badge engineering under BMC, losing its identity in Austin and Morris designs and also against MG and Wolseley. Despite this, it continues to be a treasured marque, now owned by BMW.Accompanied by superb colour photographs of all the Riley models, this book tells you all you need to know about this great British motoring name.

The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis - Lydia Davis
The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis is the complete collection of short fiction from the world-renowned Lydia Davis.WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2013.''Big rejoicing: Lydia Davis has won the Man Booker International prize. Never did a book award deliver such a true match-winning punch. Best of all, a new audience will read her now and find her wit, her vigour and rigour, her funniness, her thoughtfulness, and the precision of form, which mark Davis out as unique.Daring, excitingly intelligent and often wildly comic [she] reminds you, in a world that likes to bandy its words about, what words such as economy, precision and originality really mean. This is a writer as mighty as Kafka, as subtle as Flaubert and as epoch-making, in her own way, as Proust. A two-liner from Davis, or a seemingly throwaway paragraph, will haunt. What looks like a game will open to deep seriousness; what looks like philosophy will reveal playfulness, tragicomedy, ordinariness; what looks like ordinariness will ask you to look again at Davis''s writing. In its acuteness, it always asks attentiveness, and it repays this by opening up to its reader like possibility, or like a bush covered in flowerheads.She''s a joy. ...

Nejtemnější polibek - Strážkyně Riley Jenson 6 - Arthur Keri
Nebezpečí ji rozpaluje. Vášeň ji činí nebezpečnou. Riley Jensonová loví zloduchy – a dělá to s osobitým stylem. Riley s upíří krví kolující v žilách a s nadpřirozeným vlkodlačím čichem na nebezpečí nosí lodičky z hadí kůže a nekompromisně se vrhá do nejnovějšího případu: má chytit vražedkyni, jejímiž obětmi jsou promiskuitní ženy z lepší společnosti a bohatí a mocní muži, s nimiž se scházely. Pro Riley však případ nabere mrazivý zvrat, když se objeví druhý zabiják, který za sebou nechává cestičku ze zohavených těl: šílený mladý upír, který si vybírá oběti na základě minulosti poznamenané tragédií. Riley ví, že má dostatek schopností i důvtipu k tomu, aby chytila dva sériové vrahy najednou… dokud jeden z nich neudeří na její vlastní pevně sevřený klan – a dokud do jejího života opět nevstoupí jeden sexy upír, aby jí pomohl při lovu. Jmenuje se Quinn. Žije snad už celou věčnost, prolil krev a dělil se o rozkoše… a je jediným mužem, nad nímž nemá Riley absolutně žádnou kontrolu…

Zčásti upír, zčásti vlkodlak. Riley Jensonová ví, co se může stát, když upíři začnou zlobit. Něco takového však ještě nikdy neviděla: sérii brutálních vražd, soustředěných kolem podniku vyhledávaného upíry a lidskými závisláky. Oběti nejsou jen zabity; jsou připraveny o hlavu. Nyní se Riley vrhá do akce, pohrává si se svůdným – a hodně podezřelým – majitelem klubu a ocitá se uprostřed další záhady: někdo zabíjí ženy, ale dělá to beze stopy násilí. Těch několik případů je na Riley už tak akorát, jenže k tomu má ještě dva žárlivé milence: Kye Murphyho, vlkodlaka, na jehož volání slyší vlčí část Rileyiny duše, a Quinna, chladného, elegantního upíra, který má za sebou víc než tisíc let zkušeností s tím, jak splnit přání každé ženy. Zatímco Riley těká mezi dvěma sexy samci, její práce strážkyně nabírá nebezpečné obrátky. Dopadení vraha se stává otázkou života a smrti. Zvlášť když je blíž, než Riley tuší…

Se žlutou hvězdou v prázdném kupé - Petr Vizina, Lydia Tischlerová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Věnováno mojí mamince a dalším šesti milionům těch, kteří zahynuli. Bylo jí necelých 16 let, když stála před nacistou a lékařem Josefem Mengelem v Osvětimi. Rozsudek smrti nad ní sice nevynesl, ale nad mámou ano. Autentický příběh jedné z posledních žijících pamětnic Osvětimi, české židovské dívky, která po válce odešla do Velké Británie, kde absolvovala psychoterapeutický výcvik u Anny Freudové. Celý svůj profesní život pomáhala traumatizovaným a zraněným dětem, takovým, jakým byla kdysi sama. Příběh postupuje chronologicky od Lydiina dětství stráveného v předválečné Ostravě přes neúspěšný pokus o útěk do Polska, pobyt v Terezíně, v koncentračním táboře Osvětim, osvobození a odchod do Británie. „Terezín nelze srovnávat s pozdější Osvětimí. Je to jako srovnávat místo, které mi bylo téměř rájem, s peklem, které později přišlo. O Terezíně jsme věděli jen to, že jde o koncentrační tábor. Slovo koncentrační mi tehdy ještě neznělo tak zlověstně, znamenalo to leda, že tam byli lidé pospolu. Terezín byl ghetto, ale přesnější představu, co znamená koncentrační tábor, člověk neměl. “ Zapomínat je snadné.

The Lydia Steptoe Stories - Djuna Barnes
Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. ‘I have quite changed my mind. I am going to run away and become a boy.’In these three stories, written by Djuna Barnes under the pseudonym Lydia Steptoe, three characters find themselves on the brink of a sexual awakening – accompanied by guns, whips, and worldly innuendo.A fourteen-year-old girl plans to become ‘a virago’, until her mother intercepts her first tryst by dressing up as her male lover. A boy of the same age is lured into the forest by his father’s mistress. A woman of forty falls in love and longs to kill herself, so unbearable is the return of the youth she thought she wanted. ‘Alice’, she tells herself, ‘be a man.’Barnes makes gender and desire seem slippery and joyful – and makes the fictional Lydia Steptoe seem like a writer for our time.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Imperial Tragedy - Professor Michael Kulikowski
For centuries, Rome was one of the world''s largest imperial powers, its influence spread across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle-East, its military force successfully fighting off attacks by the Parthians, Germans, Persians and Goths. Then came the definitive split, the Vandal sack of Rome, and the crumbling of the West from Empire into kingdoms first nominally under Imperial rule and then, one by one, beyond it.Imperial Tragedy tells the story of Rome''s gradual collapse. Full of palace intrigue, religious conflicts and military history, as well as details of the shifts in social, religious and political structures, Imperial Tragedy contests the idea that Rome fell due to external invasions. Instead, it focuses on how the choices and conditions of those living within the empire led to its fall. For it was not a single catastrophic moment that broke the Empire but a creeping process; by the time people understood that Rome had fallen, the west of the Empire had long since broken the Imperial yoke.

Lydia - Paula Gooder
Winner - CRT Christian Book of the Year, 2023The New Testament tells us very little about Lydia, a seller of purple cloth who was living in Philippi when she met the apostle Paul on his second missionary journey. And yet she is considered the first recorded convert to Christianity in Europe. In her second work of fiction, Biblical scholar and popular author and speaker Paula Gooder tells Lydia''s story - who she was, the life she lived and her first-century faith - and in doing so opens up Paul''s letter to the Philippians, giving a sense of the cultural and historical pressures that shaped Paul''s thinking, and the faith of the early church.Written in the gripping style of Gerd Theissen''s The Shadow of the Galilean, and similarly rigorously researched, this is a book for everyone and anyone who wants to engage more deeply and imaginatively with Paul''s theology - from one of the UK''s foremost New Testament scholars.

He was twenty-two when I met him. He turned twenty-three while I knew him, but by the time I turned thirty-five I did not know where he was anymore.''Mislabelled boxes, confusing notes, wrong turnings - such are the obstacles in the way of the unnamed narrator of The End of the Story as she organises her memories of a love affair into a novel.

The Annals of Imperial Rome - Tacitus
His last work, regarded by many as the greatest work of contemporary scholarship, Tacitus'' The Annals of Imperial Rome recount with depth and insight the history of the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Michael Grant.Tacitus'' Annals of Imperial Rome recount the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid intensity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Annals were written objectively, Tacitus'' account is sharply critical of the emperors'' excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.Michael Grant''s translation vividly captures the emotional patriotism of Tacitus'' moral tone, offset by a lucid understanding that Rome is doomed, and conveys with cinematic vigour the lives of the great Emperors who laid the foundations of modern Europe.Tacitus (56-117) studied rhetoric in Rome and rose to eminence as a pleader at ...

Into the Weeds - Lydia Davis
An illuminating reflection on the creative process from acclaimed fiction writer, essayist, and translator Lydia Davis“Reporting from the slipstream of her reading life, [Davis] offers less a new way to think than perhaps an old one, pushing back against mechanization and the collapse of context by reframing reading in the most particular and human terms.â€â€”David L. Ulin, The Atlantic When asked why she writes, Lydia Davis confesses that the question makes her uncomfortable. Maybe she would rather not know. Instead, Davis considers how she writes her stories, how other writers write, and what insights the how might provide into the why.  In this free-ranging exploration, Davis discovers that one reason she writes is for pleasure: the pleasure of encountering something that demands to be treated in language, of handling and manipulating the language into the form it ought to take, and, finally, of seeing a story exist where it didn’t exist before. As she observes the processes of some of the authors who interest her the most, she finds that there seem to be as many reasons to write as there are writers: to relive an experience, to share an experience, to articulate something one has not quite comprehended. ...

Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women, 1868–1952 - Alison J. Miller
Envisioning the Empress illuminates dynamic and powerful empresses who impacted not only women in their own time but whose influence extended to later generations of royalty, creating a greater role for imperial women and elevating the status of womenÂ’s roles at a crucial juncture in Japanese history. The central focus of this book is visual monarchy, exploring how the empressÂ’ biographies were primarily expressed in visual culture and how their images worked in support of JapanÂ’s imperial policies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book begins with a brief overview of premodern and modern imperial women to orient the reader. In each chapter, different media, audiences, and distribution channels for constructing the narrative of feminine imperial power in Japan are addressed alongside biographical information. It is argued that the ultimate purpose of all of these images was to elevate the empress and promote her image as a conventional role model for modern women, but one with enough celebrity cache to maintain popularity. The images of the modern empresses, as distributed by the Imperial Household Agency, strike a balance between propaganda and popular media, noble philanthropist and upper-middle class role model, celebrity and mother of the nation.

''It is in every way worthy of what one great woman should have written of another.'' Patrick BrontëElizabeth Gaskell''s The Life of Charlotte Brontë (1857) is a pioneering biography of one great Victorian woman novelist by another.Gaskell was a friend of Charlotte Brontë, and, having been invited to write the offical life, determined both to tell the truth and to honour her friend. She contacted those who had known Charlotte and travelled extensively in England and Belgium to gather material. She wrote from a vivid accumulation of letters, interviews, and observation, establishing the details of Charlotte''s life and recreating her background. Through an often difficult and demanding process, Gaskell created a vital sense of a life hidden from the world.This edition is based on the Third Edition of 1857, revised by Gaskell. It has been collated with the manuscript, and the previous two editions, as well as with Charlotte Bront¨''e''s letters, and thus offers fuller information about the process of composition than any previous edition.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
