One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) believed that human action is determined not by reason but by will - the blind and irrational desire for physical existence. This selection of his writings on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books and many other themes is taken from Schopenhauer s last work, Parerga and Paralipomena, which he published in 1851. These pieces depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual absolutely free within a Godless world, in which art, morality and self-awareness are our only salvation. This innovative - and pessimistic - view has proved powerfully influential upon philosophy and art, directly affecting the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Wagner among others.

A phenomenonally precicious schoolboy, Rimbaud was still a teenager when he became notorious as Europe s most shocking and exhilarating poet. During his brief 5-year reign as the enfant terrible of French literature he produced an extraordinary body of poems that range from the exquisite to the obsene, while simultaneously living a life of dissolute excess with his lover and fellow poet, Verlaine. At the age of 21, he abandonned poetry and travelled across Europe before settling in Africa as an arms trader. This edition sets the two sides of Rimbaud side by side with a sparkling translation of his most exhilarating poetry and a generous selection of the letters from the harsh and colourful period of his life as a colonial trader.

An essential overview of Jafa s sweeping, dynamic and disquieting video portraits of Black American lifeThough he has worked in film and music for decades, American video artist Arthur Jafa only garnered acclaim in the art world in 2016 for his video work Love is the Message, the Message is Death. Composed of found images and videos, his oeuvre revolves around Black American culture, the history of slavery, and ongoing structural and physical violence against Black Americans. As Jafa put it in his 2003 text ⠜My Black Death⠝: ⠜The central conundrum of black being (the double bind of our ontological existence) lies in the fact that common misery both defines and limits who we are. Such that our efforts to eliminate those forces which constrain also function to dissipate much which gives us our specificity, our uniqueness, our flavor by destroying the binds that define we will cease to be, but this is the good death (boa morte) to be embraced.⠝This essential overview presents Jafa⠙s best-known works, such as Love is the Message, the Message is Death and its 2018 follow-up piece The White Album, alongside never-before-seen projects and essays by notable scholars. Filmmaker and artist Arthur Jafa (born 1960) grew up in Mississippi, where his lifelong fascination with found imagery manifested in his childhood hobby of assembling binders of photographs culled from various sources. As a cinematographer and director of photography, Jafa has collaborated with Stanley Kubrick, Solange Knowles and Spike Lee, among many others. His work on Julie Dash⠙s 1991 film Daughters of the Dust won him the Best Cinematography award at Sundance. At the 2019 Venice Biennale, he was awarded the Golden Lion for The White Album.

A magical, long-forgotten masterpiece, The Romance of William and the Werewolf is the story of two princes who overcame their wicked family to reclaim their inheritance and build a society based on tolerance and equality. Originally titled William of Palerne, it was first translated from French and then converted into an alliterative Middle English romance by an obscure Gloucestershire scribe in c. 1350. It has never been translated into modern English – until now. Written over 600 years ago, it is a multi-layered tale of poverty, justice, exile and otherness ; its themes of inheritance, the freedom of women, fairness and forgiveness, familial responsibility and social class, speak to us just as clearly today, and challenge us to reflect upon our class-driven politics and the corruption, entitlement and indifference which underlie it. As with Michael Smith’s other translations – Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and King Arthur’s Death – The Romance of William and the Werewolf will feature a detailed historical introduction, a comprehensive glossary and notes, and Michael’s own rich and beautiful linocut illustrations.

My father had gone with others to look for survivors ... I don⠙t think any survivors came in at Port Ellen but bodies did.The loss of two British ships crammed with American soldiers bound for the trenches of the First World War brought the devastation of war directly to the shores of the Scottish island of Islay.The sinking of the troopship Tuscania by a German U-Boat on 5 February 1918 was the first major loss of US troops in in the war. Eight months after the people of Islay had buried more than 200 Tuscania dead, the armed merchant cruiser Otranto collided with another troopship during a terrible storm. Despite a valiant rescue attempt by HMS Mounsay, the Otranto drifted towards Islay, hit a reef, throwing 600 men into the water. Just 19 survived; the rest were drowned or crushed by the wreckage.Based on the harrowing personal recollection of survivors and rescuers, newspaper reports and original research, Les Wilson tells the story of these terrible events, painting a vivid picture which also pays tribute to the astonishing bravery of the islanders, who risked their lives pulling men from the sea, caring for survivors and burying the dead.

Summoned from London, journalist Edward Malone, narrator of Arthur Conan Doyle’s prehistoric-adventure novel The Lost World, finds himself reunited with his erstwhile travelling companions at the country home of their leader, the indomitable Professor Challenger, who, confining his guests in a sealed room with the cylinders of oxygen they have brought at his request, informs them that the Earth is passing through an immense miasma of poisonous ether that will likely extirpate all life. And so the isolated inmates begin a grim and terrifying vigil – but will the toxic vapour dissipate before their limited supply of oxygen is exhausted?Presented here with two short stories representing further thrilling episodes in the illustrious career of Conan Doyle’s other great anti-hero, Professor Challenger – ‘The Disintegration Machine’ and ‘When the World Screamed’ – The Poison Belt is a tour de force of speculative fiction that is the equal of any of the author’s best-known works.The Poison Belt and Other Professor Challenger’s Stories is part of Alma Classics Arthur Conan Doyle Collection which includes: Tales of Adventure and Medical Life, Tales of Long Ago, Tales of Terror and Mystery, Tales of Twilight and the Unseen, The Lost World and The Tragedy of the Korosko.Alma Classics is committed to making available a wide range of literature from around the globe.

Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle...Perhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers. Machen s weird fiction has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today.This new collection, which includes the complete novel The Three Impostors as well as such celebrated tales as The Great God Pan and The White People, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen s weird vision. The edition s introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.

Kniha od Waltera Isaacsona, autora známých životopisů Benjamina Franklina a Alberta Einsteina, je exkluzivním životopisem Steva Jobse, zakladatele Applu, sepsaným s jeho pomocí a podporou. Na podkladě více než čtyřiceti rozhovorů s Jobsem provedených v průběhu dvou let - a stejně tak interview s více než stovkou členů jeho rodiny, přátel, konkurentů, soupeřů i kolegů - pojednává tato kniha o životě plném vrcholů i propastí a o pronikavě intenzivní osobnosti tvořivého podnikatele, jehož vášeň pro dokonalost a železné odhodlání zcela převrátilo šest odvětví lidské činnosti: osobní počítače, kreslené filmy, hudbu, telefony, počítačové tablety a digitální tisk. V době, kdy se společnosti po celém světě snaží vybudovat ekonomiku digitálního věku, stojí Jobs v popředí jako nejvyšší ikona v oboru vynalézání nových věcí a představivosti uvedené do praxe. Věděl, že nejlepší způsob, jak vytvořit v 21. století nějaké hodnoty, je ve spojení kreativity a technologie, takže vybudoval firmu, kde jsou převratné nápady kombinovány s pozoruhodnými technickými počiny. Ačkoli Jobs na této knize spolupracoval, nesnažil se o žádnou kontrolu toho, co už bylo napsáno, ani nechtěl mít právo přečíst si knihu předtím, než bude vydána. Udělal jsem hodně věcí, na něž nejsem pyšný, jako když jsem dostal svou přítelkyni ve 23 letech do jiného stavu a jak jsem se s tím vypořádal, přiznal se. Ale nemám ve skříni žádné kostlivce, kteří by nesměli ven. Jobs mluvil otevřeně, občas dokonce krutě o lidech, s nimiž pracoval či proti nimž vystupoval. A podobně si i jeho přátelé, nepřátelé a kolegové vytvořili nepřikrášlený pohled na vášně, démony, perfekcionismus, touhy, dovednost, ďábelskost a posedlost pro vedení, které tvarovaly jeho přístup k podnikání i k novátorským výrobkům, jež byly toho všeho důsledkem. Jobs doháněl lidi kolem sebe k zuřivosti a zoufalství. Ale jeho osobnost a výrobky se tak vhodně doplňovaly, stejně jako se o to snažil u hardwaru a softwaru Applu, jako by to byla součást jakéhosi integrovaného systému. Jeho příběh je proto jak poučný, tak varující, plný lekcí o novátorství, charakteru, vůdcovství a hodnotách.

Be honest: if your job didn t exist, would anybody miss it? Have you ever wondered why not? Up to 40% of us secretly believe our jobs probably aren t necessary. In other words: they are bullshit jobs. This book shows why, and what we can do about it. In the early twentieth century, people prophesied that technology would see us all working fifteen-hour weeks and driving flying cars. Instead, something curious happened. Not only have the flying cars not materialised, but average working hours have increased rather than decreased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services, finance or admin: jobs that don t seem to contribute anything to society. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associated with the Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how, rather than producing anything, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it. This book is for anyone whose heart has sunk at the sight of a whiteboard, who believes workshops should only be for making things, or who just suspects that there might be a better way to run our world.
