Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father''s dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami''s new novel is at once a classic tale of quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.

''An ode to the ocean, and the generations of women drawn to the waves or left waiting on the shore'' Guardian In Salt On Your Tongue, Charlotte Runcie explores what the sea means to us, and particularly what it has meant to women through the ages. In mesmerising prose, she explores how the sea has inspired, fascinated and terrified us, and how she herself fell in love with the deep blue.This book is a walk on the beach with Turner, with Shakespeare, with the Romantic Poets and shanty-singers. It''s an ode to our oceans - to the sailors who brave their treacherous waters, to the women who lost their loved ones to the waves, to the creatures that dwell in their depths, to beachcombers, swimmers, seabirds and mermaids. Navigating through ancient Greek myths, poetry, shipwrecks and Scottish folktales, Salt On Your Tongue is about how the wild untameable waves can help us understand what it means to be human.

Switzerland is home to illustrious soul-searchers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961). The small country in the heart of Europe has a density of historic and current hotspots of psychiatry and psychoanalysis like hardly any other place in the world. From Geneva to Zurich, from Kreuzlingen, on the shore of the Lake Constance in the north, to Monte Verità near Ascona, close to the Italian border in the south, a dense network stretches across the map. Switzerland as a psycho-geographic space thus became a hub of psychoanalysis with a global reach.Coinciding with C.G. Jung''s 150th birthday, this book for the first time contextualises his thought and influence with the overall history of psychoanalysis in Switzerland. Besides Jung, its protagonists include, among other, Ludwig Binswanger, pioneer of existential psychology; Jean Piaget, best-known for his research of child development; Goldy and Paul Parin-Matthèy and Fritz Morgenthaler, co-founders of the Zurich School of Ethno-psychoanalysis; and Judith le Soldat with her radical feminist Nimbus theory.Twelve thematic essays by distinguished authors are supplemented and put into perspective by key historical texts and art works, as well as visual material and documents, many of them from archives that have so far been ...

From the award-winning, bestselling author of Cod--the irresistible story of the science, history, art, and culture of the least efficient way to catch a fish. Fly fishing, historian Mark Kurlansky has found, is a battle of wits, fly fisher vs. fish--and the fly fisher does not always (or often) win. The targets--salmon, trout, and char--are highly intelligent, wily, strong, and athletic animals. The allure, Kurlansky finds, is that fly fishing makes catching a fish as difficult as possible. There is an art, too, in the crafting of flies. Beautiful and intricate, some are made with more than two dozen pieces of feather and fur from exotic animals. The cast as well is a matter of grace and rhythm, with different casts and rods yielding varying results. Kurlansky is known for his deep dives into the history of specific subjects, from cod to oysters to milk. But he spent his boyhood days on the shore of a shallow pond. Here, where tiny fish weaved under a rocky waterfall, he first tied string to a branch, dangled a worm into the water, and unleashed his passion for fishing. Since then, a lifelong love of the sport has led him around the world ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Whitstable, lying on the shore of the Thames Estuary on the North Kent coast, has long been famous for its oysters. The world’s first passenger steam railway connected Whitstable to Canterbury in 1830, serviced by a harbour that opened two years later in 1832. These events were the catalysts for growth and prosperity during the ensuing Victorian era, turning a small fishing community into a busy seaside town with maritime-based industries at its heart. Much about the town has changed over the years but its long, winding High Street, the maze of alleyways, an unpretentious seafront and its still-thriving harbour ensure that Whitstable’s charm and special character survives to this day.In Whitstable: The Postcard Collection, Philip Johnson has drawn on a remarkable collection of postcards of Whitstable and Tankerton and the surrounding villages of Swalecliffe, Chestfield and Seasalter, providing a window into the town’s past through the world of old picture postcards. This absorbing selection of images will be of interest to those who live in Whitstable, those who know it well or those who are just intrigued to find out more about this fascinating town.

Villa Diodati. 1816.In a villa on the shore of Lake Geneva, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and his young wife Mary, gathered for the summer. For three glittering months, this party of young bohemians would share their lives, charged with sexual and artistic tensions. It was a period of extraordinary creativity from which would emerge some of the masterworks of the Romantic period, including Frankenstein. But there were two other guests at the villa that summer, for whom the season would not be so rosy. With Byron came his young physician, John Polidori, a man with literary aspirations of his own. And joining Mary was her step-sister, the beautiful Claire Clairmont. For Byron and the Shelleys, their stay by the lake would serve to immortalise them in the annals of literary history. But for Claire and Polidori, the Swiss sojourn would scar them forever.
