The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.-- William Golding to Charles MonteithIn 1953, William Golding''s novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a ''slush pile'' of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Golding''s transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as ''Dear Monteith'' and ''Dear Golding'' become ''Dear Charles'' and ''Dear Bill''.In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Golding''s dreadful spelling.

Each town Golding visits has its own special attractions, including historical landmarks, cultural offerings, recreational spaces, colleges and universities, scenic natural beauty, tourist attractions, and ties to some of the many celebrities Mississippi calls its own. All are distinct, yet all share a common pride in their local identity.

First published in 1954, William Golding''s debut novel, now a classic, is a stark story of survival, probing the depths of human nature, and what happens when civilization collapses. As dystopian stories like The Hunger Games and Battle Royale surge in popularity, this haunting tale of a group of young boys stranded on a desert island still captivates schoolchildren around the world, raising timeless and profound questions about how easily society can slip into chaos and savagery when rules and order have been abandoned. This new educational edition provides supplementary material, chapter summaries, discussion questions and additional teaching resources to help guide students and support teachers throughout the text. When a plane crashes on a remote island, a group of schoolboys are the sole survivors. As the reality of their situation sets in, the boys attempt to establish control and their world gradually descends into brutal savagery. As Catcher in the Rye became the classic coming-of-age tale, Lord of the Flies is the classic story of innocence lost. A teacher himself, Golding clearly understood how to interest children with a gripping story and strong, sympathetic characters. The novel serves as a catalyst for thought-provoking discussion and analysis of universal issues, not only concerning the capabilities of humans for good and evil and the fragility of moral inhibition, but beyond. The boys'' struggle to find a way of existing in a community with no fixed boundaries invites readers to evaluate the concepts involved in social and political constructs and moral frameworks. Symbolism is strong throughout, revealing both the boys'' capacity for empathy and hope, as well as illuminating the darkest corners of the human spirit. Ideas of community, leadership, and the rule of law are called into question as the reader has to consider who has a right to power, why, and what the consequences of the acquisition of power may be. All of these concerns are current today and can be easily related to the novel through effective teaching and learning. This new educational edition encourages original and independent thought from students, as well as guiding them through the text. The supplementary material includes a biographical section on William Golding, and his own interpretive essay ''Fable'' on Lord of the Flies, as well as providing information about the novel''s historical context, which will be ideal for students completing GCSE and A-Level courses as well as those studying the novel worldwide. At the end of the text there are chapter summaries, comprehension questions, discussion points and activities plus a glossary of less familiar words or phrases. All of these are intended to inspire and generate creative teaching, learning and love of the novel.

Ztroskotání Christophera Martina je v pořadí třetí Goldingovo dílo, v němž autor využil své válečné zkušenosti ze služby na křižnících, minolovkách a torpédoborcích (účastnil se i operace proti německému křižníku Bismarck). Tak jako Pán much či Dědicové, ani tato kniha není běžným románem, ale symbolickým podobenstvím, bájí, mýtickým příběhem. V tomto případě Golding téma smrti, hříchu a konečného soudu zpracovává na prostém příběhu námořníka, který na nehostinném skalnatém útesu "přežil" torpédování své lodi německou ponorkou. Jako všechny Goldingovy romány i Ztroskotání Christophera Martina nabízí více otázek než odpovědí. Zde navíc originální "Goldingův trik" v závěru knihy narušuje již tak nejednoznačné vyznění příběhu a nutí nás opakovaně se zamýšlet nad Martinovým osudem a zároveň podrobit důkladnému zkoumání i náš vlastní život. Jen a jen na nás záleží, k jakým závěrům dospějeme.

The impactful and empowering memoir from Melanie SykesMelanie Sykes has been a face on our screens, a voice on our radios for nearly thirty years. As a presenter and broadcaster people turned to her for her humour, her honesty and insight. But between all the interviews and chat shows, is a life unseen, a story unsaid.Her journey – from up north to down south, from Manchester to LA and via London, Paris and India, and through the eye of the storm of celebrity culture is a rollercoaster ride. Sex, drugs and rock and roll, certainly, but also brass bands and ice cream vans, broken hearts and healing adventures – a search not for fame but for freedom.Her autism diagnosis in midlife has supercharged that journey – and means this isn’t a story just of breakdown, but of breakthrough. Funny, furious and gloriously frank, this is a book that lifts the lid on being a woman in the media, navigating relationships, and being a neurodivergent person speaking up in a neurotypical world. Illuminated is Melanie, in her own inimitable voice.

Bestselling author, psychologist, and relationship coach Melanie Joy shares the principles and tools that can make any relationship, from personal to professional, healthier and more resilient.Relationships are complicated. Yet it''s an unfortunate reality that while most of us have to learn complex geometry that we''ll probably never use, we don''t get a single formal lesson in how to relate to others. In this one-stop guide, psychologist Melanie Joy reveals the common psychological dynamics that underlie all kinds of relationships--with a romantic partner, friends, family members, colleagues--in short, with anyone in any situation. Understanding these dynamics will help you make all your relationships healthier and more resilient. Relationships are like bodies: they get sick when their immune system is weaker than the germs that stress them. Drawing on the most relevant research as well as on her own extensive experience as a psychologist, Joy explains how to strengthen your relational immune system to resist not only interpersonal stressors but also largely invisible yet potentially devastating societal stressors like racism and sexism. With this understanding, you can cultivate relationships that consistently reflect core moral values and honor the dignity of everyone involved. Resilient relationships are not only a source of joy and fulfillment for those who are in them, they also support the thriving of the organizations and communities of which we all are a part.

Melanie Klein gives a detailed account of the analysis of a ten year old boy, Richard. Klein describes the day to day course of the analysis interpreting Richard`s drawing, play, verbal associations and reports of dreams. Also included is the reproduction of the drawings made by the patient, the analysis of which is elaborated in this text. This fascinating and deeply instructive case study shows the fluctuations which characterise a psycho-analysis and reveals the dynamics of the steps which eventually lead to progress in treatment. In a series of notes accompanying the clinical description, Melanie Klein comments upon the clinical material, linking the actual instances to more theoretical conclusions. In doing so, she has provided an invaluable guide to the technique of psycho-analysing children.

INTRODUCING guide to the pioneering child psychoanalyst. Born in Vienna in 1882, Melanie Klein became a pioneer in child psychoanalysis and developed several ground-breaking concepts about the nature and crucial importance of the early stages of infantile development. Although she was a devoted Freudian, many of her ideas were seen within the psychoanalytic movement as highly controversial, and this led to heated conflicts, particularly with Freud''s daughter, Anna. Introducing Melanie Klein brilliantly explains Klein''s ideas, and shows the importance of her startling discoveries which raised such opposition at the time and are only now being recognized for their explanatory power. Her concepts of the depressive position and the paranoid-schizoid position are now in common usage and her work has to be taken seriously by psychoanalysts the world over. She is also now important in many academic fields within the human sciences.

Mrchy Melanie Blakeové nás zavedou do zákulisí světa veleúspěšného seriálového dramatu Falcon Bay, telenovely, kterou zná celý svět. Má sice miliony věrných fanoušků, ale pravdou je i to, že dny výsluní a slávy seriálu jsou dávno pryč. Falcon Bay se natáčí doslova v ráji - na soukromém ostrově v kanálu La Manche, blízko poloostrova Jersey; dokonalá destinace pro dokonalou telenovelu ale sama o sobě není vším. Po více než dvaceti letech vysílání docházejí produkci nápady i šťáva a sledovanost strmě klesá. Je potřeba přijít s dokonalým plánem a scenáristickým zázrakem. Ideálně se zajímavou postavou, která nenechá kámen na kameni. Do soukolí navíc vstupuje nová americká majitelka, rozhodnutá udělat všechno, aby se seriál stal opět jedničkou v žebříčcích sledovanosti. Televizní svět ale dávno není jen o talentu, dobré práci, skvělých nápadech a radosti z tvorby a hraní; je tvrdý a drsný. Mnohem více spíše o penězích, dravosti, neohlížení se na druhé - a intrikách. Hlavně tedy o tom, kdo je schopný čeho - a kdo umí kde mistrně zatahat za ty správné nitky, obrátit se na ty správné lidi.

Kniha Japonské mýty jasnou a zábavnou formou odkrývá svět japonských mýtů, legend a příběhů, z nichž mnohé si lidé vyprávějí již po staletí, představuje ale i ty, které vznikly poměrně nedávno a šíří se prostřednictvím moderních médií. Čtenář se tak seznámí například s božskou dvojicí Izanamim a Izanagi a jejich prvními neúspěšnými pokusy o stvoření Japonska či s rozmarnou bohyní Slunce Amaterasu, jež se stala prapředkyní japonského císařského rodu. Nechybí ale ani příběhy o odvážných samurajích, kteří inspirují nejenom současné japonské tvůrce, ale i hollywoodské režiséry, či liškách, které se zjevují v podobě nestárnoucích krasavic, jež ovládají a podvádějí muže. Autorka Melanie Clegg nás zavede i mezi duchy a strašidla moderních městských legend, a seznámí nás se Sněžnou ženou, psem s lidskou tváří, duchem sladkostí či dívkou Hanako-san zjevující se na školních toaletách a mnoha dalšími přízraky, před kterými se musíme mít na pozoru i na rušných ulicích současných japonských velkoměst.
