On the fiftieth anniversary of Waterloo the song, not the battle - one super-fan sits down to listen to the ABBA Gold album from start to finish, looking back over the half-century he has spent in the company of ABBA's music, and attempting to unlock the secrets of its hold on him and on all of us. Partly a highly personal work of musical criticism, partly a history ABBA told throughcolourfulvignettes, and partly the record of Giles time spent trampling around damply in Sweden,braving the hardcore fans on ABBA Day in the Netherlands and somewhat reluctantly attendinga sing-along screening Mamma Mia, this is Giles mission to get to the very heart of ABBA. Starting out in the glam rock Seventies, its pages will inevitably contain possibly unwise quantities of satin and Spandex, and also descriptions of *trigger warning* cat dresses.Nineteen tracks yield nineteen chapters, from 'Dancing Queen' to 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', to 'Take A Chance on Me', and onwards, eventually circling back (as all roads from ABBA eventually do) to 'Waterloo', the album's final track. For Giles Smith, listening to each song gives rise to thoughts on pop music and the ways it attaches itself to us (and we to it), autobiographical reflections on the times, and ruminations on ABBA themselves - their story, their phenomenon, and the evolution of their presence in our lives. It's a book about growing old, and the things that never do. And it's a book about fashion, snobbery, authenticity, critical judgement, the passage of time and the triumphant ability of truly great pop music to transcend all of those things forever. But it's also a book about the development of one of popsgreatest and best-loved albums,and an unabashed tribute to the power of a major-to-minor modulation and a well-placed glissando.

A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK''Delivered with flamboyance, it features a sparkling cast of chancers'' KATJA HOYER, Daily Telegraph 5* review''Page-turning . . . a sizzling high-stakes tale'' JAMES HOLLAND''This book might read like the screenplay of a gripping movie, yet every word is accurate and verified'' ANDREW ROBERTS ''Giles Milton is a phenomenon'' DAN SNOW''Another rollercoaster ride from Giles Milton. Endlessly surprising'' ANTHONY HOROWITZFrom internationally bestselling historian Giles Milton comes the remarkable true story of the Allies'' secret mission to wartime Moscow. In the summer of 1941, as Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin''s forces faced a catastrophic defeat which would make the Allies'' liberation of Europe virtually impossible. To avert this disaster, Britain and America mobilized an elite team of remarkable diplomats with the mission of keeping the Red Army in the war. Into to the heart of Stalin''s Moscow Roosevelt sent Averell Harriman, the fourth richest man in America and his brilliant young daughter Kathy. Churchill dispatched the reckless but brilliant bon vivant Archie Clark Kerr - and occasionally himself - to negotiate with the Kremlin''s wiliest operators. Together, this improbable group grappled with the ingenious, mercurial Stalin to make victory possible. But they also discovered that the Soviet dictator had a terrifying masterplan for the post-war world. Based on astonishing unpublished diaries, letters and secret reports, The Stalin Affair reveals troves of new material about the most unlikely coalition in history.

More by luck than skill, Farmer Giles managed to scare him away. The people of the village cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero.His reputation spread far and wide across the kingdom. So it was natural that when the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area it was Farmer Giles who was expected to do battle with it!

Bizarné historky z dejín prinášajú aj odpoveď na to, kto zjedol posledného dronta, kto v skutočnosti zabil Rasputina a prečo má seržant Stubby štyri nohy.Týmito faktograficky precíznymi historkami Giles Milton ukazuje v novom svetle rozličné neslávne udalosti a mnohé rázovité postavy (a zvieratá) z dejín, ktoré spoločne tvoria pestrú galériu špiónov, lotrov, kanibalov, dobrodruhov a otrokov naprieč dvadsiatimi storočiami a šiestimi svetadielmi.Z anglického originálu Fascinating Footnotes from History (John Murray, London 2015) preložil Milan Kopecký.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Jean-Michel Basquiat: Art and Objecthood, at Nahmad Contemporary, this book will illuminate the role of found objects and unconventional materials in the Jean- Michel Basquiat’s oeuvre. Basquiat, whose artistic practice has profoundly impacted audiences on an international scale, used objects and media from his environs to proliferate messages of social justice and change. Featuring a breadth of works that the artist made using unconventional painted supports and found-object sculptures, this publication will provide an innovative, in-depth look into the artist’s sculptural practice. In addition to painting and drawing on items within his domestic spaces―refrigerators, chairs, and cabinets―Basquiat also left his mark on items he encountered on the street―discarded windows and doors, mirrors, wood boards, and subway tiles. The publication will present new scholarship by leading Basquiat academics and art historians that will explore Basquiat’s use of found objects and materials and their role in addressing issues of social inequality and the politics of race in the United States.

A Financial Times best summer travel book of 2024''A powerfully delicate book of love, loss and discovery, along paths of emotional understanding and physical wonder.'' Raynor Winn, author of The Salt PathOn an assignment to walk the most famous pilgrimage in the world – the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain – Phoebe Smith somehow lost her way.Having spent a lifetime exploring unfamiliar places, she quit her dream job, ended her long-term relationship and headed home to North Wales to discover the point to… everything.In her search for answers she found herself – quite by accident – walking some of Britain’s oldest pilgrim paths. And by following these old ways, she ended up confronting past traumas that she thought she had laid to rest.But while it follows holy trails, this is not a book about religion. From losing her mother as a teenager to surviving toxic relationships, Phoebe offers an unflinchingly honest look at her battle with an eating disorder, depression, and the pitfalls of newfound singledom.Skilfully weaving together Phoebe’s own story with those of countless travellers past and present, Wayfarer reveals how nature and place can heal past wounds, offering a pathway to salvation she’d never thought existed.

‘Full of dark, deadpan humour, Brat is a raucous story of the messy, messed-up business of living, dying and having a family.’ Financial Times ‘A moving coming-of-age family story’ Observer 'Iconic', Radio 1I was in the waiting room. Then I was in the examination room. Gabriel’s skin is falling off. His dad is dead. He owes his editor a novel. His girlfriend won’t answer his calls. Tasked by his horribly well-adjusted brother with clearing out the family home for sale, Gabriel’s sanity quickly begins to unravel. His parents’ old manuscripts appear to change each time he reads them. A bizarre home video hints at long-buried secrets. And there’s a hideous man in the garden. Disquieting and hilarious, taut yet lyrical, blisteringly-paced but formally inventive, Brat is a mediation on grief, art and love that will leave you altered, breathless and desperate for more. From a stunningly original new talent, this is a debut novel unlike anything you have read before. ‘This original, clever story is brilliant on grief, madness and creativity. It’s beautifully written, hilarious and heart-breaking. I raced through it.’ Daily Mail ‘For readers looking for something that will grip you from start to finish, Brat is sure to be your breath of fresh air. The novel crackles with gothic horror, deadpan humor, and a damning sense of alienation that you won’t soon shake.’ Chicago Review of Books ‘Smith's picaresque first novel is told from the perspective of Gabriel, a writer struggling with numerous issues . . . a deeply gothic work that never quite settles the reader in a certain world as Gabriel’s foibles, ghostly visions, and uncertainties filter every moment. Written in short, clipped chapters and featuring uproarious dialogue (especially with Gabriel's brother), this is a darkly comic and brilliantly unusual debut.’ Booklist ‘[Smith's] dialogue shines . . . Readers who appreciate the morbidly funny and the just plain morbid will find a lot to love in these pages. A weird and darkly funny novel from a writer to watch.’ Kirkus ‘It's a book about loss and the anxiety of the modern age, tinged with humor and deep insight that will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.’ Town & Country 'Gabriel Smith has written a truly unique and surprising book. He is the rarest thing: a distinctive stylist on the line and structure level. Brat is so strange and so funny. I laughed a lot while reading.' Rachel Connolly, author of Lazy City 'Messy with glitched realities and body horror, Brat breathes the same thrillingly claustrophobic air as Inland Empire and Ubik. It’s a skin-shedding ouroboros of grief and laughter, and the most brain-melting British debut I’ve read in ages.' Ed Park, author of Same Bed Different Dreams 'Gabriel Smith’s prose is like if Joan Didion and Shirley Jackson took Xanax and used the internet. Brat is a sharp, eerie, confident debut about grief, memory, art, and so much more. Smith is a major new talent.' Jordan Castro, author of The Novelist 'Gabriel Smith’s jauntily creepy and hilarious tale of a grief-stalked scapegrace’s sloughing-off and regeneration of selves in the filial murk of a moldering homestead is a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man for a new, quaking generation. Brat will unnerve and seduce you.' Garielle Lutz, author of Worsted 'Smith's picaresque first novel is told from the perspective of Gabriel, a writer struggling with numerous issues . . . a deeply gothic work that never quite settles the reader in a certain world as Gabriel’s foibles, ghostly visions, and uncertainties filter every moment. Written in short, clipped chapters and featuring uproarious dialogue (especially with Gabriel's brother), this is a darkly comic and brilliantly unusual debut.' Booklist '[Smith's] dialogue shines . . . Readers who appreciate the morbidly funny and the just plain morbid will find a lot to love in these pages. A weird and darkly funny novel from a writer to watch.' Kirkus

The first of two novels, Gliff, which is a Scottish/northern word for a shock, a fright, a transient moment, a glance or sudden glimpse, will be followed by a second novel in 2025, called Glyph (a signifying mark – as in ‘hieroglyph’). Glyph, the second novel, will tell a story which is hidden in the first so the two books will belong together but can be read independently. The two books will form a new step in Ali’s writing journey, different in form and feeling from the Seasonal Quartet (plus Companion piece) and will look very different too. Ali always keeps her novels under wraps until they are finished, and the surprise of reading a book only when it is complete, knowing almost nothing of its content, is part of the magic.

O brave new world, that has such people in't. Once upon a time not very far from now, two children come home to find a line of wet red paint encircling the outside of their house. What does it mean?It’s a truism of our time that it’ll be the next generation who’ll sort out our increasingly toxic world. What would that actually be like?In a state turned hostile, a world of insiders and outsiders, what things of the past can sustain them and what shape can resistance take?And what’s a horse got to do with any of this?Gliff is a novel about how we make meaning and how we are made meaningless. With a nod to the traditions of dystopian fiction, a glance at the Kafkaesque, and a new take on the notion of classic, it's a moving and electrifying read, a vital and prescient tale of the versatility and variety deep-rooted in language, in nature and in human nature. 'As always, Ali’s inventiveness and intelligence lit fireworks in my mind. Gliff is an irresistible invitation to rethink and reword our way to a truly brave new world' Michelle de Kretser

SHORTLISTED FOR THE NERO PRIZE 2023'A book that could not be more necessary' Observer'Eloquent, clever and devastating' The Times'Deftly illustrates how ageist misogyny remains an acceptable prejudice' GuardianWhat is about women in middle-age and beyond that seems to enrage - almost everyone?In the last few years, as identity politics has taken hold, middle-aged women have found themselves talked and written about as morally inferior beings, the face of bigotry, entitlement and selfishness, to be ignored, pitied or abused. Hags asks the question why these women are treated with such active disdain. Each chapter takes a different theme - care work, beauty, violence, political organization, sex - and explores it in relation to middle-aged women's beliefs, bodies and choices.Victoria Smith traces the attitudes she describes back to the same anxieties about older women that drove Early Modern witch hunts, and explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today. The demonisation of hags has never felt more now. Victoria Smith has decided in this book that she will be the Karen so nobody else has to be, and she ends on a positive note, exploring potential solutions which can benefit all women, hags and hags-in-waiting.

A gripping, painfully honest and ultimately inspirational, New York Times bestselling memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk series Jada Pinkett Smith. 'It’s a shame that Pinkett Smith's marriage has taken up so much attention because, as Worthy shows, it’s far from the most interesting thing about her’ Sunday Times Magazine In a media driven landscape that crafts narratives for our celebrities, Smith recounts her story in an intimate conversation with readers. Along the way, she explores her path to accepting her power as a woman, and her discovery that a strong sense of self is every woman’s right and saving grace. An impactful and rare memoir that engages and educates, Worthy is a courageous love song to self, to family, to life, and to the world. From an unconventional upbringing in Baltimore, to an unconventional marriage to one of the most famous men in the world, adhering to the status quo has never been a familiar road for Jada Pinkett Smith. In Worthy, Smith strips herself of all the labels and stories crafted by others, and reclaims her narrative with radical self-love. Worthy teaches us who Jada is, and how to embrace our most authentic loveable souls.

Osobitá a dojemná kniha od autorky titulů Just Kids a M Train obsahuje na 365 fotografií a zamyšlení, jež dokládají jedinečnou estetiku Patti Smith. Inspirací pro vznik tohoto díla byl autorčin populární profil na Instagramu. V roce 2018 zveřejnila na této sociální síti první snímek. Pod obrázkem byla krátká zpráva: "Zdravím všechny." Patti Smith, která dříve fotila na polaroid, začala na Instagram přidávat fotky z mobilu, na nichž se objevují děti, topení, boty nebo její habešská kočka Cairo. Sledující těmto miniaturním vhledům do autorčina světa ihned propadli, ať už se jednalo o záběry kávy, rozečtených knih, obrázky z hudebních turné, železničních stanic a zapadlých kaváren nebo o náhrobky jejích hrdinů - Williama Blakea, Dylana Thomase, Sylvie Plathové, Simone Weilové či Alberta Camuse. Po nějaké době tak vznikl ucelený příběh o životě zasvěceném umění, který si získal více než milion sledujících. Kniha také obsahuje staré fotografie, které nejsou k vidění nikde jinde - perly jako dar k výročí, matčina klíčenka či manželova kytara Mosrite. Svůj notes má Patti Smith vždycky po ruce, aby v rozmanitých a zároveň intimních zápisech mohla čtenářům poskytnout zprávy o svých cestách po celém světě. Kniha dní a 365 fotografií, jež obsahuje, nabízí jedinečný způsob, jak nahlédnout do velké mysli vizionářky, básnířky, spisovatelky, umělkyně. Je plná naděje, žalu i hravosti, a proto může být inspirativním dílem pro dnešní nejistou dobu.

Je první týden školního roku a Oliver Dalrymple, neoblíbený a vysmívaný outsider, který je posedlý biologií a chemií, stojí u své šatní skříňky a v duchu si přeříkává periodickou tabulku. To je poslední, co si pamatuje, když se náhle probudí a zjistí, že se ocitl v podivném nebi zvaném Město a určeném jen pro třináctileté. Brzy se dalším nebešťanem stane jeho spolužák Johnny a přináší s sebou první kousíček do obrazu, který se hrdina snaží složit, aby se dozvěděl, jak a proč zemřel. Ve Městě nerostou stromy ani nežijí zvířata, jsou tam jen nekonečné řady cihlových ložnic obehnaných vysokými zdmi. Nikdo tam nestárne, ale každý je trochu jiný, než jaký býval za života. To, pro co se Oliverovi doma vysmívali, je teď předností a on si získá kamarády. Najednou se cítí šťastný, je to pocit, který dosud nezažil. Jenže posmrtný život má i svou stinnou stránku: Oliver a Johnny pátrají po tom, co se v onen osudný den stalo, a přitom odhalují znepokojivé skutečnosti. Kanadský spisovatel Neil Smith debutoval v roce 2007 sbírkou povídek Bang Crunch, která byla nominovaná na řadu cen, mj. na prestižní kanadskou literární cenu Journey Prize.

Neil Smith žije v Montrealu a věnuje se rovněž překládání z francouzštiny.
