THE FIRST ADULT NOVEL BY THE CARNEGIE PRIZE WINNING AUTHOR OF JUNK''A spirited retelling... witty and insightful.'' i PAPER''His prose is electrical, crackling with a mischievous charge.'' BUZZ MAGAZINE''Told with wit [and] verve... it''s a book that exerts a curious charm.'' MAIL ON SUNDAY''Burgess recounts Loki''s genius . . . with great gusto, pulling together many tales into one sometimes beautifully lyrical masterwork.'' SFX MAGAZINE''a mischievous, unpredictable and clever book that breathes new life into an already fascinating character and godly race.'' CULTUREFLYStep into the ancient fir-tree forests of Scandinavia and bear witness to legends as epic as those of the Greeks and the Romans.Melvin Burgess revolutionised children''s literature with the infamous cult novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he breathes new life into Norse myths.Starting with the Norse creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the reader on a wild ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods - the founders of Asgard - defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god of love and the Sun. This narrative may seem familiar enough at first, but the reader should beware. Born within the heart of a fire in the hollow of a tree-trunk, Loki arrives in Asgard as an outsider. He is a trickster, an unreliable narrator, the god of intelligence and politics. In spite of his cleverness and sparkling wit (or, perhaps, because of this...) Loki struggles to find his place among the old patriarchal gods of supernatural power and is constantly at odds with the god of thunder - Thor. Alongside the politics of Asgard, it charts the course of Loki''s many loves and families, from his mothering of Odin''s famous horse to his intense, turbulent, and, eventually, fatal relationship with Baldr the Beautiful - a tender and moving story of love that goes wrong, jealousy and a transitioning that is forbidden by society. This is a retelling that is contemporary in tone, at once amusing and relatable. It is a heartfelt plea to overthrow the old gods of power and authority and instigate a new era ruled by love and intelligence.

'It is a horrorshow story ...' Fifteen-year-old Alex likes lashings of ultraviolence. He and his gang of friends rob, kill and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the State puts a stop to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education mean? A dystopian horror, a black comedy, an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention which created a new language for its characters. This critical edition restores the text of the novel as Anthony Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews, shedding light on the enduring fascination of the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality'. Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and educated at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He spent six years in the British Army before becoming a schoolmaster and colonial education officer in Malaya and Brunei. After the success of his Malayan Trilogy, he became a full-time writer in 1959. His books have been published all over the world, and they include The Complete Enderby, Nothing Like the Sun, Napoleon Symphony, Tremor of Intent, Earthly Powers and A Dead Man in Deptford. Anthony Burgess died in London in 1993. Andrew Biswell is the Professor of Modern Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University and the Director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. His publications include a biography, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess, which won the Portico Prize in 2006. He is currently editing the letters and short stories of Anthony Burgess.

In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell''s 1984 in one book. The first is a sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called ''an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears'', creating a critique that is literature in its own right.Part two is Burgess'' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. He skewers both the present and the future, describing a state where industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance, security concerns and the dominance of technology to make life a thing to be suffered rather than lived.Together these two works form a unique guide to one of the twentieth century''s most talented, imaginative and prescient writers. Several decades later, Burgess'' most singular work still stands.

From the author of the critically-acclaimed true crime account, A Killer By Design (the inspiration behind Hulu's original docuseries, Mastermind), a groundbreaking look into the crucial role played by expert witnesses in the most high-profile criminal cases, based on Dr. Ann Burgess’ personal experiences within the criminal justice system. Written through Burgess’ singular lens of compassion and lived experience, Expert Witness pulls back the curtain on some of the biggest cases in the last thirty years—from Bill Cosby to the Menendez brothers to Larry Nassar—to reveal the deeply human stories behind the trials that have captivated a nation. The book explores the role of expert witnesses in high stakes court cases, offering first-hand accounts and never-before-seen interviews with attorneys, victims, and offenders. Expert Witness places readers inside the mind of the nation’s most prominent courtroom expert, following Burgess as she takes on one seismic case after the next. Throughout the narrative, each case deepens the reader’s understanding of the art and science of expert testimony, taking readers from the women’s movement of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement of today—one of the largest social reckonings in recent history. At its core, Expert Witness is a story of empowerment. It’s a story of compassion and the ever-increasing need for individuals to stand up and speak truth to power or to popular opinion. And it's ultimately a story of how revolutionary one voice can be.

A deeply personal exploration of fatherhood, addiction, and resiliency from CraigMelvin, news anchor of NBCs Today show.For Craig Melvin this book ismore an investigation than a memoir. It's an opportunity to better understandhis father; to interrogate his family's legacy of addiction and despair butalso transformation and redemption; and to explore the challenges facing alldads--including Craig himself, a father of two young children.Growing up in Columbia, SouthCarolina, Craig had a fraught relationship with hisfather. LawrenceMelvin was a distant, often absent parent due to his drinking as well as hisjob working thegraveyard shift at a postal facility. Watching sports andtinkering on Lawrence's beloved (but unreliable) 1973 Pontiac LeMans were twoways father and son connected,but as Lawrence's drinking spiraled out ofcontrol, their bond was stretched to the breaking point. Fortunately, Craig hada loving, fiercely protective mother who held the family together. He also hada series of surrogate father figures in his life--uncles, teachers, workplacementors--who by their examples helped him figure out the kind of person andfather hewanted to be.Pops is the story of allthese men--and of the inspiring fathers Craig has met reporting his "DadsGot This Series" on the Today show. Pops is also the storyof Craig and Lawrence Melvin's long journey to reconciliation andunderstanding, and of how all these experiences and encounters have informedCraig's understanding of his own role as a dad.

In a world short on trust, where power is weaponised and choice is often no more than the illusion of choice, how can you thrive on your own terms? We must look to ourselves for guidance. Understanding our purpose and principles, expressing them clearly and actually living by them, is the strongest possible foundation for people and businesses who want to flourish. But there's is a problem. The world of values, purpose, vision and culture has shrunk to a limited vocabulary and performative showboating. Little wonder so many people now dismiss it all as nothing more than corporate BS. It is a crying shame. To turn a powerful asset into derivative nonsense is a spectacular own-goal - and one with serious costs in trust, reputation and success. Junk Values exposes the patterns that have crept, unchallenged, into the systems and processes of values. It shows you exactly what I define as Junk Values, why they do real damage to people and businesses alike, and how to replace them with something stronger. Because the way I advocate is neither easier nor faster but very definitely better. And the burger and fries? Read on, and you'll find out. Junk Values is a sharp and timely exposé of how corporate culture lost its way - and a practical guide to rebuilding genuine purpose, trust, and integrity in business.

''I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language ... a very funny book'' William S. Burroughs Fifteen-year-old Alex doesn''t just like ultra-violence - he also enjoys rape, drugs and Beethoven''s ninth. He and his gang of droogs rampage through a dystopian future, hunting for terrible thrills. But when Alex finds himself at the mercy of the state and subject to the ministrations of Dr Brodsky, and the mind-altering treatment of the Ludovico Technique, he discovers that fun is no longer the order of the day. The basis for Stanley Kubrick''s notorious 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange is both a virtuoso performance from an electrifying prose stylist and a serious exploration of the morality of free will.In his introduction, Blake Morrison situates A Clockwork Orange within the context of Anthony Burgess''s many other works, explores the author''s unhappiness with the Stanley Kubrick film version, analyses the composition of the Nadsat argot spoken by Alex and his droogs, and examines the influences on Burgess''s unique, eternally original style.With an Introduction by Blake Morrison

Anthony Burgess was an energetic writer and composer, whose workfor the stage is widely admired. In Two Plays, we see him tacklingmajor monuments of French and Russian theatre: The Miser byMolière and Chatsky by Alexander Griboyedov.Miser, Miser! is a bold reworking of Molière’s classic comedy of1668. Harpagon the miser is hoarding a pile of gold, which he hasburied in his garden. As he tries to sell off his daughter, catch himselfa beautiful young bride and outwit his scheming household of cleverservants, the comedy of errors intensifies.Although the original French play is written in prose, Burgessremakes it in a mixture of verse and prose, in the style of his famousadaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac. This translation, discovered in theauthor’s archive, is the work of a writer at the height of his powers,reinventing Molière for modern audiences.Chatsky, subtitled ‘The Importance of Being Stupid’ is another versecomedy. The theme is that of the intellectual hero who rebelsagainst the smug, philistine society in which he finds himself. Firstperformed in 1833, Griboyedov’s play was so heavily cut by Russiancensors that it was barely recognisable. The play is a virtuoso vehiclefor male actors, and the source of many famous quotations. It isalso notoriously difficult to translate. In Chatsky, Burgess remakes aclassic Russian play in the spirit of Oscar Wilde. It is a great feast oflanguage and invective.The complete texts of both plays are published here for the first time.Two Plays confirms Anthony Burgess’s reputation as a gifted writerfor the stage, and as a translator of great wit and sophistication.MISER, MISER!

''More than lives up to the hype'' Observer''Set to become a publishing sensation'' Kirsty Lang, BBC Front Row''An astounding achievement'' Sunday Times''The lost giant of American literature'' New YorkerJune, 1957. One afternoon, in the backwater town of Sutton, a young black farmer by the name of Tucker Caliban matter-of-factly throws salt on his field, shoots his horse and livestock, sets fire to his house and departs the southern state. And thereafter, the entire African-American population leave with him.The reaction that follows is told across a dozen chapters, each from the perspective of a different white townsperson. These are boys, girls, men and women; either liberal or conservative, bigoted or sympathetic - yet all of whom are grappling with this spontaneous, collective rejection of subordination.In 1962, aged just 24, William Melvin Kelley''s debut novel A Different Drummer earned him critical comparisons to James Baldwin and William Faulkner. Fifty-five years later, author and journalist Kathryn Schulz happened upon the novel serendipitously and was inspired to write the New Yorker article ''The Lost Giant of American Literature'', included as a foreword to this edition.

This is the first book to focus primarily on George Orwell’s ideas about free speech and related matters – freedom of the press, the writer’s freedom of expression, honesty and truthfulness – and, in particular, the ways in which they are linked to his political vision of socialism. Orwell is today claimed by the Left and Right, by neo-conservatives and neo-socialists. How is that possible? Part of the answer, as Glenn Burgess reveals, is that Orwell was an odd sort of socialist. The development of Orwell’s socialism was, from the start, conditioned by his individualist and liberal commitments. The hopes he attached to socialism were for a fairer, more equal world that would permit human freedom and individuality to flourish, completing, not destroying, the work of liberalism. Freedom of thought was a central part of this, and its defence and use were essential parts of the struggle to ensure that socialism developed in a liberal, humane form that did not follow the totalitarian path of Soviet communism. Written in celebration of Orwell’s dictum, ''We hold that the most perverse human being is more interesting than the most orthodox gramophone record,'' George Orwell''s Perverse Humanity is a portrait of Orwell that captures these themes and provides a new understanding of him as a political thinker and activist. Based on archival research and new materials that affirm his work as an activist for freedom, it also uncovers a socialist ideology that has been obscured in just the way that the author feared it would be – associated in many people’s minds with totalitarian unfreedom.

The adventures of Mr. Mocker is written by Thornton W. Burgess. To bring joy and gladness to the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, the Laughing Brook, and the Smiling Pool, Mistress Spring begins from far to the South. Winsome Bluebird goes just a little way ahead of her, for he is the herald of Mistress Spring. When all the other little people in feathers had flown to that faraway country, then did this friend of Ol' Mistah Buzzard make up his mind that he would go too. He didn't say anything about it to anyone, but he just started off by himself. Uncle Billy Possum and Mr. Mocker had a moonlight party in the Green Forest. When they heard about it, they became anxious to see the stranger with the wonderful voice. Peter Rabbit followed him around just to hear him fool others by making his voice sound like theirs. When he learned that some people believed Mr. Mocker had not obtained his voice honestly, Ol' Mistah Buzzard chuckled.
