â ˜What distinguished Clare is an unspectacular joy and a love for the inexorable one-thing-after-anotherness of the worldâ ™ Seamus Heaney John Clare (1793-1864) was a great Romantic poet, with a name to rival that of Blake, Byron, Wordsworth or Shelley â “ and a life to match. The â ˜poetâ ™s poetâ ™, he has a place in the national pantheon and, more tangibly, a plaque in Westminster Abbeyâ ™s Poetsâ ™ Corner, unveiled in 1989. Here at last is Clareâ ™s full story, from his birth in poverty and employment as an agricultural labourer, via his burgeoning promise as a writer â “ cultivated under the gaze of rival patrons â “ and moment of fame, in the company of John Keats, as the toast of literary London, to his final decline into mental illness and the last years of his life, confined in asylums. Clareâ ™s ringing voice â “ quick-witted, passionate, vulnerable, courageous â “ emerges through extracts from his letters, journals, autobiographical writings and poems, as Jonathan Bate brings this complex man, his revered work and his ribald world, vividly to life.

This is the first selection of the great Romantic peasant poet John Clare to make available the full range of his accomplishment - as the chronicler of nature and childhood, the champion of folkways in the face of enclosure and oppression, the love poet, the political satirist and solitary visionary, confined in his maturity to lunatic asylums. Clare grabs hold of you - no, he doesn t grab hold of you, he is already there, talking to you before you ve arrived on the scene, telling you about himself, about the things that are closest and dearest to him, and it would no more occur to him to do otherwise than it would occur to Whitman to stop singing you his song of himself. John Ashbery It is what Lawrence calls the poetry of the living present. Seamus Heaney

But the extraordinary range of his poetical gifts has restored him to the company of his contemporaries Byron, Keats, and Shelley, and this fine selection illustrates all aspects of his talent. It contains poems from all stages of his career, including love poetry, and bird and nature poems. Written in his native Northamptonshire, Clare s work provides a fascinating reflection of rural society, often underscored by his own sense of isolation and despair.Clare s writings are here presented with the minimum of editorial interference, and with a new Introduction by the poet and scholar Tom Paulin.

What Thoreau can teach us about working⠔why we do it, what it does to us, and how we can make it more meaningfulHenry at Work invites readers to rethink how we work today by exploring an aspect of Henry David Thoreau that has often been overlooked: Thoreau the worker. John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle overturn the popular misconception of Thoreau as a navel-gazing recluse who was scornful of work and other mundanities. In fact, Thoreau worked hard⠔surveying land, running his family⠙s pencil-making business, writing, lecturing, and building his cabin at Walden Pond⠔and thought intensely about work in its many dimensions. And his ideas about work have much to teach us in an age of remote work and automation, when many people are reconsidering what kind of working lives they want to have. Through Thoreau, readers will discover a philosophy of work in the office, factory, lumber mill, and grocery store, and reflect on the rhythms of the workday, the joys and risks of resigning oneself to work, the dubious promises of labor-saving technology, and that most vital and eternal of philosophical questions, ⠜How much do I get paid?⠝ In ten chapters, including ⠜Manual Work,⠝ ⠜Machine Work,⠝ and ⠜Meaningless Work,⠝ this personal, urgent, practical, and compassionate book introduces readers to their new favorite coworker: Henry David Thoreau.

A Times and Sunday Times Best Book of 2020â ˜Radical Wordsworth deserves to take its place as the finest modern introduction to his work, life and impactâ ™ Financial Timesâ ˜Richly repays reading â ¦ It is hard to think of another poet who has changed our world so muchâ ™ Sunday TimesA dazzling new biography of Wordsworthâ ™s radical life as a thinker and poetical innovator, published to mark the 250th anniversary of his birth.William Wordsworth wrote the first great poetic autobiography. We owe to him the idea that places of outstanding natural beauty should become what he called â ˜a sort of national propertyâ ™. He changed forever the way we think about childhood, about the sense of the self, about our connection to the natural environment, and about the purpose of poetry.He was born among the mountains of the English Lake District. He walked into the French Revolution, had a love affair and an illegitimate child, before witnessing horrific violence in Paris. His friendship with Samuel Taylor Coleridge was at the core of the Romantic movement. As he retreated from radical politics and into an imaginative world within, his influence would endure as he shaped the ideas of thinkers, writers and activists throughout the nineteenth century in both Britain and the United States. This wonderful book opens what Wordsworth called â ˜the hiding places of my powerâ ™.W. H. Auden once wrote that â ˜Poetry makes nothing happenâ ™. He was wrong. Wordsworthâ ™s poetry changed the world. Award-winning biographer and critic Jonathan Bate tells the story of how it happened.

Each one â “ whether managed park or wild moor, plunging cliff or man-made Broads â “ has also shaped human life, forming our idea of ourselves and our sense of what â ˜Englandâ ™ means.England: A Natural History is the definitive volume on the English landscape, and the capstone of John Lewis-Stempelâ ™s nature writing.........................................................................................................â ˜No-one comes close to Lewis-Stempelâ ™s ability to paint the English landscape in words.

A práve nadvedecký svet pre nás v tejto knihe odhaľuje Arthur C. Clarke, ktorého brilantné prorocké a varovné poviedky čítajú milióny ľudí. Na jeho pokyn precestovali Simon Welfare a John Fairley päť svetadielov, aby spovedali svedkov podivných udalostí a nevysvetliteľných javov. Zhovárali sa s mužmi aj ženami, ktorí videli obludy z hlbín oceánov a jazier, s tými, na ktorých padali z nebies žaby a ryby, ale aj s tými, ktorí videli neidentifikovateľné lietajúce objekty (UFO), krížujúce nočnú oblohu v oslnivom jase, hovorili taktiež s cestovateľmi a horalmi, ktorí zahliadli yettiho, snežného muža, dlho ignorované ako produkt fantázie, i jeho bratranca, Veľkú stopu , ktorý sa zakráda severoamerickými lesmi. Hrozivejšie udalosti boli okrem toho vyhodnocované v nádeji, že môžeme zhromaždiť také svedectvá, ktoré môžu zabrániť budúcej katastrofe. Ohnivý predmet z nebies, ktorý v roku 1908 zničil rozsiahle územie sibírskej tajgy, mohol koniec koncov zrovnať so zemou Paríž, New York, alebo Londýn: kedy máme čakať ďalšiu návštevu?

A mesmeric, harrowing and uplifting childhood memoir that will open up much-needed conversations about identity and mental health This will blow you away - Stylist Joly s prose is sensitive and heartbreaking...darkly compelling - Business Post An extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir - Belfast TelegraphIt was an ordinary day in 2016. In Gatwick Airport, Jonathan and his wife Anna were having breakfast with their two little children while waiting for their flight to be called. And then it happened, a familiar sensation that Jonathan hadn t had for decades: an out-of-body experience that transported him to another place, the safe place he used to escape to in his mind when he was a boy. Because growing up in conservative 1980s Dublin, where there was little tolerance for children who were different , Jonathan Joly was, indeed, a different sort of child: creative, expressive, and - on the inside - a girl. The limitations of the people around him to understand his differences led to years of tyrannical bullying and abuse, forcing him to withdraw within himself to the point of clinical absence. His only chance for survival was the inner world he created for himself, rich with loving and supportive friends and playmates, that only he could see. Jonathan s invisible friends were his lifeline, and on that day at the airport, they came flooding back, and have remained with him to this day. This extraordinary childhood memoir is not only an important, thought-provoking and exhilarating read, it gives hope and community for all those who have ever felt other , and proves how vital it is to provide children with the safe space to be themselves. In All My Friends are Invisible, Jonathan Joly, known widely as one of social media s most successful content creators, shares the secret he s kept hidden these many years. He shows the beautiful world he retreated to time and time again when life was unbearable for his skin machine . Most importantly, he introduces us to his invisible friends, and in so doing you may be transported back to the friends you had as a child that no one else could see, and who may have saved you, too. When you find yourself living in a world that doesn t understand you, and you lack any connection to anyone or any place, you are faced with few options. You can choose to leave this world and hope whatever lies beyond ends up being better, or you can create your own. It will require grit, hardship, pain and suffering, but the rewards will be great, and the journey will be greater, and the adventures will be endless. So, at a very young age and faced with these options, I chose the latter.

The Physio is an incredibly powerful, and totally unforgettable, narrative that explores the present and the past of author, Jonathan Smith, a man whose life has been upended by Parkinsons - a condition that threatens to take away his independence and identity. As he painstakingly relearns to perform the simplest tasks with his left hand, he is forced to confront his limitations and the reality of his condition. But it is within the walls of the physiotherapy room that Jonathan finds an unexpected ally in Clare, his physiotherapist - whose expertise and adventurous spirit challenge him to push beyond his boundaries. As Jonathan grapples with the frustrations of daily life, Clare becomes more than just a therapist; she becomes a mentor and confidante. Their relationship, rooted in mutual respect and understanding, blossoms as they share stories, fears, and laughter - each session a step closer to Jonathan s physical and emotional healing. But the book is also a vivid account of the books and plays that he has written as well as those that he has read, and one begins to understand that this is not just a book about healing but an autobiography, a total life, viewed through the lens of literature.

Jonathan Becker: Lost Time is a fitting legacy for one of the true photographic masters of our age.⠙ ⠓ Graydon Carter, founder and co-editor of Air Mail and former editor of Vanity Fair The first retrospective monograph on photographer Jonathan Becker, one of the great visual storytellers of our time Over the course of five decades, Jonathan Becker has produced a body of evocative photographic work that documents lives of the twentieth-century beau monde.

Field naturalists have searched across Clare Island for animal groups ranging from the microscopic to birds and mammals. Many more species have been found since the original survey a hundred years ago, due to the availability of modern methods, which greatly add to our knowledge of the biodiversity of Clare Island. The lists of species featured here include some new to the island, some new to Ireland and some new to science. This volume signals the need for further field work and taxonomic research to track biodiversity changes arising from human activity. Land and freshwater fauna is the tenth volume in the New Survey of Clare Island series, which seeks to build on the pioneering work of the first Clare Island Survey (1909â “11), the most ambitious natural history project ever undertaken in Ireland and the first major biological survey of a specific area carried out in the world.

A formally audacious and deeply moving memoir in three timeframes that confronts the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its effects on a father and son. In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein’s father Hans escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht, and, arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture. Growing up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father’s relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behaviour. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Published to coincide with the eightieth anniversary, this is a highly compelling account of a father and son’s attempt to emerge from the shadows of history.For readers who enjoyed East West Street, The Berlin Shadow is a beautiful memoir about time, trauma and family. Praise for Jonathan Lichtenstein #39;s work: ‘The writing is keenly observed and emotionally resonant. . . an impressive achievement given the breadth of its reach, from Berlin in the 1930s to Bethlehem today’ New York Times on Memory

Los Angeles, 2012. Je tomu již pět let, co dvanáctiletá lovkyně stínů Emma Carstairsová přišla za Temné války o oba rodiče. Dnes už Emma dávno není dítě, ale mladá žena odhodlaná k pátrání a pomstě. Spolu se svým parabátai Juliánem Blackthornem musí překazit nekalé spiknutí a rozbít síť temné mafie, jejíž dlouhé prsty sahají od Sunset Stripu až k magickým hlubinám oceánu a plážím v Santa Monice. Aby to dokázala, musí se však naučit důvěřovat svému srdci, které ji, zdá se, svádí na scestí…Románem Paní půlnoci otevírá Cassandra Clare další strhující a vášnivou trilogii ze světa lovců stínů.---Cassandra Clare je autorkou úspěšných fantasy ság (Nástroje smrti, Pekelné stroje a další), které si podmanily statisíce čtenářů. Narodila se americkým rodičům v Teheránu a dětství strávila na cestách, s kufry plnými klasických fantasy knížek. Několik let pak pracovala jako novinářka v časopisech o celebritách, než se pustila do psaní románů, a již první sérií ze světa lovců stínů si získala přízeň čtenářů. Její temně romantické i napínavé příběhy se od té doby staly kultem. „Nástroje smrti jsou světem, ve kterém ráda žiju,“ napsala o jejích knihách autorka Stmívání Stephenie Mayerová. Do tohoto světa zasazuje Cassandra Clare i svou nejnovější, nedočkavě očekávanou sérii Temné lsti.

Životy lovců stínů svazuje povinnost. Parabátai bojují bok po boku a stejně tak i umírají, ale nikdy se do sebe nesmějí zamilovat. Emma Carstairsová ví, že láska, kterou cítí ke svému parabátai Juliánu Blackthornovi, není jen zákonem zapovězená, ale mohla by je také oba zničit. Ví, že by se od Juliána měla držet dál, jenže jak by mohla, když rodina Blackthornových čelí nepřátelům hned na několika frontách? Jejich jedinou nadějí je Černý spis mrtvých, mocná kniha, kterou se všichni snaží získat. Není to snadný úkol.

Podle The New York Times vypráví tento bestsellerový životopis životní příběh nejikoničtějšího hráče moderní éry. Sice existují další biografie Rogera Federera, ale nikdy žádný s takovým blízkým přístupem k hráči, jeho podpůrnému týmu a nejvýraznějším postávám tenisové hry, včetně takových rivalů jako jsou Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovič, či Andy Roddick. V knize Mistr si korespondent The New York Times Christopher Clarey sedl s Rogerem Federerem a jeho nejbližšími, aby vyprávěli příběh největšího hráče mužského tenisu. Roger Federer předváděl tenis neuvěřitelně lehce déle než dekádu a to krásným nápřahem u bekhendu, klouzáním do forhendu, při smečích ve výskoku popíráním gravitace a zůstával vysoko na světových stupních vítězů ve sportu právem zaplaveného cynismem. Jeho cesta od temperamentního odbarveného teenagera s pochybným stylem až k jednomu z největších, nejvyrovnanějších a nejelegantnějších světových hráčů tenisu, kteří vládli dlouhodobě vůlí a ne osudem, je inspirující. Měl nejen velký talent, ale i drzost. Christopher Clarey je jeden z předních mezinárodních sportovních spisovatelů současnosti a Federerovi se věnuje od počátku jeho kariéry. Byl přítomný na Roland Garros na kurtě Suzanne Lenglenové na Federeově prvním grandslamovém zápase a exkluzivně s ním udělal nejvíce rozhovorů než kterýkoliv jiný novinář od jeho vzestupu na výsluní. Clarey se v knize zaměřuje na klíčové osoby, místa a okamžiky Federerovy dlouhé a bohaté kariéry: reportáže z Jižní Afriky, Jižní Ameriky, Středního východu, čtyři grandslamové turnaje a rodné Švýcarsko. Byla to jízda jako u žádného jiného hráče, plná vítězství a několika drtivých porážek, která nově definovala dokonalost a udělala z Rogera sentimentálního favorita na celém světě. Mistr vypráví příběh o Federerově životě a kariéře jak v intimním, tak velkém měřítku, způsobem, který by nikdo jiný nedokázal.

The Christ-centered exegesis of Jonathan Edwards Jonathan Edwards is remembered for his sermons and works of theology and philosophy-but he has been overlooked as an exegete. Gilsun Ryu s The Federal Theology of Jonathan Edwards explores how exegesis drove Edwards s focus on the headship of Christ as second Adam-and likewise formed a foundation for his broader theological reasoning and writing, especially on Christ and the covenants. Edwards s distinctive emphases on exegesis, redemptive history, and the harmony of Scripture distinguish him from his Reformed forebears. Ryu s study will help readers appreciate Edwards s contribution as an exegetically informed Reformed theologian --

The Penguin Classics edition of Jonathan Swift s savagely satirical A Modest Proposal and Other Writings is edited with an introduction and notes by Carol Fabricant.To ease poverty in Ireland by eating the children of the poor was the satirical solution suggested by Jonathan Swift in his essay A Modest Proposal (1729). Here Swift unleashes the full power of his ironic armoury and corrosive wit, finding his targets - the British ruling class and avaricious landlords, and the brutalized Irish, complicit in their own oppression - with deadly precision. His masterly essay is accompanied by a generous selection of prose works, among them pamphlets attacking British rule in his native Ireland, periodical essays critiquing the new capitalist and military classes, a journal detailing his political activities in London, a loving tribute to his beloved Stella after her death and pieces on such diverse subjects as the absurdities of astrology, the joys of punning and comical rules for servants. Ingenious and unconventional, Swift is revealed here as one of the greatest satirists in the English language.In her introduction to this new edition, Carol Fabricant discusses Swift s life and turbulent times, his political views and his powers as a writer of complex irony and intricate word play. This volume also includes a chronology, further reading, a glossary, notes and a biographical dictionary.Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin. Sent to Kilkenny Grammar School when he was six, Swift later attended Trinity College, Dublin, where he received his BA degree in 1686. He is considered the foremost prose satirist in the English language, which stemmed from his criticism of Britain s repressive colonial policies in Ireland. Among Swift s best known works are his ironic masterpiece, A Modest Proposal (1729), and his novel, Gulliver s Travels (1726).If you enjoyed A Modest Proposal, you might like Alexander Pope s The Rape of the Lock and Other Major Writings, also available in Penguin Classics.

Pastor and author Jonathan Murphy provides readers with a framework—a master plot—to the story of all history. This deep exploration of Scripture reveals that God is in complete command of this universe and how He guides everyone s story: past, present, and future. Good stories make you laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story—the best story ever!—full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God s story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence.? The Story of God and Us shows not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. In this book, Jonathan Murphy leads readers to understand how: the meaning of life is essential to a fulfilling relationship and partnership with God; God accomplishes His plans in a pleasing and connecting way; a multidimensional view of Scripture can engage and delight even the most disinterested and distracted; and seeing the big picture can provide a fresh look at how our story clearly fits into God s. As Jonathan retells God s story through a fresh lens, Christians will better understand how much God loves them, how He desires us to live with Him and for Him, and why we should invite others into this amazing story every chance that we get!

This new, expanded, fully updated and revised, edition of #39;Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker #39; is a landmark in poker publishing. Originally published in two volumes in 2011 and 2012 this was both a critical and commercial success. Over the last decade, the understanding of poker has changed dramatically and this new edition fully reflects current thinking on the game. This book will give readers a thorough understanding of everything they need to know about playing tournaments and Jonathan Little is undoubtedly the person best qualified to impart this information. The book is split into seven sections: 1) How Tournaments Work –This explains why tournaments are a highly profitable form of poker and examines the basic concepts that need to be mastered. 2) Playing Deep Stacked –This deals with situations where (most) players have stacks of 50 big blinds or more. All situations are dealt with including pre-flop and all three post-flop streets. There is further information on general topics at this stack depth. 3) Playing Mid Stacked –This deals with situations where the basic stack depth is between 27 and 50 big blinds. These situations are tricky because with the shorter stack, players are often going all-in. This means that very clear adjustments are required compared to the deeper stack strategies. 4) Playing Short Stacked –This section focuses on play below 27 big blinds. Now play is almost exclusively focused on the possiblity of players going all-in. Knowing the correct ranges and plays here is vital to maximise your chances for tournament survival. 5) The Late Stages –As the prospect of serious prize money looms, huge adjustments need to be made. How to play on the bubble and concepts such as risk premium and the Independent Chip Model are fundamental to maximising your chance of landing a major prize and they are all thoroughly explained. 6) Hand Examples –This will test your understanding of everything you have learnt so far. 7) Other Considerations –You can improve your tournament results by also working on your general attitude and approach. This section encompasses all the non-technical aspects of playing, including learning, the mental approach, tells and practical tips. Jonathan Little has dedicated himself to educating players who are keen to improve their poker strategy, and in 2020, he was awarded the prestigious title of Global Poker Index “Poker Personality of the Year” – voted for by the poker-playing public. As well as being an immensely successful professional player with over $7,000,000 in live tournament cashes, Jonathan runs the highly respected coaching site pokercoaching.com.
