A famed British neurologist embarks on an expedition in Brazil to follow the trail of Percy Fawcett, an occult-obsessed explorer who went missing in the Amazon rainforest and was the subject of the 2016 film The Lost City of Z.As a boy growing up near Liverpool in the 1950s, Andrew Lees would visit the docks with his father to watch the ships from Brazil unload their exotic cargo of coffee, cotton bales, molasses, and cocoa. One day, his father gave him a dog-eared book called Exploration Fawcett. The book told the true story of Lieutenant Colonel Percy Fawcett, a British explorer who in 1925 had gone in search of a lost city in the Amazon and never returned. The riveting story of Fawcett''s encounters with deadly animals and hostile tribes, his mission to discover an Atlantean civilization, and the many who lost their own lives when they went in search of him inspired the young Lees to believe that there were still earthly places where one could "fall off the edge."Years later, after becoming a successful neurologist, Lees set off in search of the mysterious figure of Fawcett. What he found exceeded his wildest imaginings. With access to the cache ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Bringing to light the art and life of Derwent Lees (1884–1931), an Australian painter who studied and taught at the Slade School of Art in the decade preceding and including the First World War, this comprehensive monograph includes a complete catalogue of the artist’s known works. Embedded within London's art world, Lees counted Augustus John, J.D. Innes, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Ambrose McEvoy as his close friends. He exhibited works in prominent London galleries and at the 1913 New York Armory show from his travels in England, Wales, France and Poland. Tragically, his promising career was cut short when he was confined to mental asylums from 1919. This publication provides a definitive account of Lees's life and impressive body of work and will stand as a primary reference resource on the artist for many years to come.

Nikolai Gogol''s short fiction, collected here as The Diary of a Madman, The Government Inspector and Selected Stories, deeply influenced later Russian literature with powerful depictions of a society dominated by petty bureaucracy and base corruption. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with notes by Ronald Wilks, and an introduction by Robert A. Maguire.This volume includes a selection of Gogol''s most admired short fiction and his most famous drama. A hilarious and biting political satire, ''The Government Inspector'' has been popular since its first performance and was regarded by Nabokov as the greatest Russian play ever written. The stories gathered here, meanwhile, range from comic to tragic and describe the isolated lives of low-ranking clerks, lunatics and swindlers. They include ''Diary of a Madman'', an amusing but disturbing exploration of insanity; ''Nevsky Prospect'', a depiction of an artist infatuated with a prostitute; and ''The Overcoat'', a moving consideration of poverty.Edited and translated by Ronald Wilks, this new collection of Gogol''s shorter writings skilfully captures the savage wit of the original works. Robert Maguire''s introduction considers recurrent themes and explores Gogol''s influence on realism. This edition also includes detailed notes, a publishing history for each story and a chronology.Nikolai Gogol (1809-52) ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Despite advancing years, James Lees-Milne''s descriptions of the people he meets, the houses he visits and country life on the Duke of Beaufort''s Badminton estate are sharper than ever.He continues to enjoy a wide variety of experiences, and vividly recaptures a weekend at Chatsworth, a monastic retreat, a journey in a helicopter, an encounter with Mick Jagger and an intimate lunch with the Prince of Wales. As the grand old man of country house conservation, he becomes a media celebrity, but declines a CBE and refuses to be photographed by Lord Snowdon. In old age, he draws close to his formidable wife Alvilde, whose death in 1994 both shatters and liberates him, but he remains emotionally interested in members of his own sex. As always, he is a penetrating commentator on the times. A tour of the Cotswolds makes him ruefully aware of the yuppy trends of the Thatcher era, while he predicts that the victory of New Labour will herald a descent into American-style vulgarity and yob culture. Witty, waspish, poignant and self-revealing, James Lees-Milnes last diaries contain as much to delight as the first, and confirm his reputation as one of the twentieth century''s great English diarists.

For fans of Oliver Sacks and Henry Marsh, a glimpse into the fascinating world of modern neurology by a leading expert in the field.As a trainee doctor, A. J. Lees was enthralled by his mentors: esteemed neurologists who combined the precision of mathematicians, the scrupulosity of entomologists, and the solemnity of undertakers in their diagnoses and treatments. For them, there was no such thing as an unexplained symptom or psychosomatic problem—no difficult cases, just interesting ones—and it was only a matter of time before all disorders of the brain would be understood in terms of anatomical, electrical, and chemical connections.Today, this kind of “holistic neurology” is on the brink of extinction as a slavish adherence to protocols and algorithms—plus a worship of machines—runs the risk of destroying the key foundational clinical skills of listening, observation, and imagination that have been at the heart of the discipline for more than 150 years.In this series of brilliant, insightful, and autobiographical essays, Lees takes us on a kind of Sherlock Holmes tour of neurology, giving the reader insight into—and a defense of—the deep analytical tools that the best neurologists still rely on to diagnose patients: to heal minds and to fix brains.

A fascinating, one-of-a-kind journey through the world of stamps and collecting by maverick historian and writer Robert IrwinWhy do we collect? Is it to rescue objects from oblivion? Is it a kind of desire - or even a kind of madness? In this mosaic of fiction, philosophy, sociology, biography and autobiography, virtuoso thinker Robert Irwin takes us on a wayward journey through the art of collecting, and his own intellectual passions.Drawing on the works of writers including Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin, Iris Murdoch and Georges Perec, as well as a host of lesser-known geniuses, flaneurs, obsessives and eccentrics, Irwin explores everything from mysticism to nostalgia, classical antiquity to surrealism, dreams to death. We join Thomas De Quincey on a night mail coach, encounter the man who set out to acquire every stamp ever issued and enter the badlands of fakes and forgeries, all in the company of a uniquely brilliant mind.This is a book of wonders; of labyrinthine digressions, good humour and a delight in small things. It is a meditation on the stuff of life.

Inštitút nájmu bytu už dlhodobejšie volal po vytvorení flexibilnejšej alternatívy chráneného nájmu bytu, ktorá by vychádzala zo špecifického charakteru krátkodobosti a potreby flexibility založenia a skočenia nájomného pomeru k bytu, ktorý bude umožňovať plniť dočasné bytové potreby nájomcov mimo miesta ich obvyklého pobytu. Krátkodobý nájom ako nájom na dobu určitú, v rámci ktorého prenajímateľ prenecháva za nájomné nájomcovi byt alebo jeho časť do užívania najdlhšie na dva roky, a to dvakrát, predstavuje kumuláciu dočasnosti, flexibility, ale aj stabilizácie nájomného pomeru v situácii, keď zmluvné strany dospejú k záveru, že trvanie krátkodobého nájmu bytu v jeho vlastnom pôvodnom zmysle (najviac dvojročného právneho vzťahu) nepostačuje na naplnenie účelu tohto inštitútu v kontexte realizácie potrieb zmluvných strán.Po tom, ako autori v roku 2015 odovzdali na publikáciu rukopis komentára k zákonu o krátkodobom nájme bytu, začali pracovať na doplnkovej publikácii aplikačného rázu, ktorá zhŕňa aktuálnu judikatúru vo veciach krátkodobého nájmu bytu a v otázkach súvisiacich s nájmom bytu v režime Občianskeho zákonníka. Vzhľadom na skutočnosť, že krátkodobý nájom bytu predstavuje pomerne nový inštitút, zaraďujú autori v predkladanej judikatúre pomerne netradične aj stručný úvodný komentár, ktorý sa sústreďuje na všeobecnú charakteristiku krátkodobého nájmu bytu, vzťah zákona o krátkodobom nájme bytu a Občianskeho zákonníka a krátkodobý ...
