'Pamela under the Notion of being a Virtuous Modest Girl will be introduced into all Familes,and when she gets there, what Scenes does she represent? Why a fine young Gentleman endeavouring to debauch a beautiful young Girl of Sixteen.' (Pamela Censured, 1741)One of the most spectacular successes of the burgeoning literary marketplace of eighteeent-century London, Pamela also marked a defining moment in the emergence of the modern novel. In the words of one contemporary, it divided the world 'into two different Parties, Pamelists and Antipamelists', even eclipsing the sensational factional politics of the day. Preached up for its morality, and denounced as pornography in disguise, it vividly describes a young servant's long resistance tothe attempts of her predatory master to seduce her.Written in the voice of its low-born heroine, but by a printer who fifteen years earlier had narrowly escaped imprisonment for the seditious output of his press, Pamela is not only a work of pioneering psychological complexity, but also a compelling andprovocative study of power and its abuse. Based on the original text of 1740, from which Richardson later retreated in a series of defensive revisions, this edition makes available the version of Pamela that aroused such widespread controversy on its first appearance. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

''Fascinating'' KATHERINE MAY, author of WinteringDiscover the many lives of Peter Matthiessen – writer, naturalist, activist, CIA agent, Zen master – in this kaleidoscopic biography of an American literary giant.Author of The Snow Leopard, co-founder of the Paris Review and the only writer to have ever won the National Book Award for both fiction and nonfiction, Peter Matthiessen was a towering figure of twentieth-century American literary culture. He was also, briefly, an undercover agent for the fledgling CIA; an environmental activist; an advocate for Native American rights and California farmworkers; friends with the likes of Truman Capote and William Styron; and a daring explorer who visited every continent on Earth, scaling the Himalayas and floating through the Amazon on a balsawood raft.Across these many lives, Matthiessen was always searching for what he called his ‘true nature’ – an enlightened state of being, without ego – and this spiritual quest ultimately led him, even as he inflicted great pain on three wives and multiple children, to the highest ranks of Zen.Readers and critics have struggled to reconcile Matthiessen’s extraordinarily varied achievements and literary output, which included everything from experimental novels to advocacy journalism. Now, for the first time, drawing on rich primary sources and hundreds of interviews, acclaimed biographer Lance Richardson pulls together the seemingly disparate threads of Matthiessen’s story. With page-turning immediacy, Richardson illuminates how the writer’s uncanny gifts enabled him to sense connections between ecological decline, racism and labour exploitation – to express, eloquently and presciently, that ‘in a damaged human habitat, all problems merge’.‘Splendidly readable … [Richardson] writes with flair and erudition’ The Observer on House of Nutter‘Illuminating and vividly drawn’ Sunday Telegraph on House of Nutter

Samuel Porten, muzikálně nadané a citlivé dítě, má před sebou slibnou kariéru houslisty, ale jeho dětská duše prochází peklem neharmonické viktoriánské rodiny obchodníka s nemovitostmi a jeho ambiciózní, zneuznané ženy - životem zhrzené matky prahnoucí po uznání. Samuel se před matčiným despotismem uzavírá a začíná si utvářet svůj vlastní svět - plný otázek, hledání a zejména fantazie. Po nenadálé otcově smrti se v jeho životě příliš nezmění, ale pak do jejich domu přijde Marion, dívka, která se příležitostně stará o chod domácnosti. Vzájemná náklonost Marion a Samuela přeroste v hlubší vztah. Samuel nalézá odvahu k úniku z dusivého sevření své matky a věří, že Marion mu pomůže se osamostatnit. Jejich společný samostatný život se zdá být životním vítězstvím. Samuel ale netuší, jak zrádný se tento krok, na který není připraven, ukáže. Samuelovy city k Marion jsou konfrontovány s jeho veřejným úspěchem virtuosa a Samuel nedokáže střízlivě zhodnotit svůj nově získaný status celebrity. Status, o němž až příliš pozdě pochopí, jak je iluzorní. Vztah s Marion se hroutí a po jejím nečekaném zmizení se Samuelovi jeho život na dlouhá léta vymkne z rukou. Díky pomoci rodinného přítele pana Harta a také pomoci matky, které není osud syna lhostejný a zpovzdálí vše sleduje, se Samuel těžce a pozvolna ze svých démonů vzpamatovává a postupně nachází vůli k proměně. Je to dlouhý proces, během něhož se mu podaří poznat svoji dceru, najít cestu k novému životu, k novým hodnotám, k poznání sebe samého. Prchavé štěstí je ale narušováno stále se vracející a hluboko v duši usazenou zátěží. Stíny minulosti i pocit viny mu jsou silným soupeřem. Samuel ale svůj boj nevzdává a bojuje až do posledních chvil. Autor novely, kardiochirurg a umělecký sklář Mojmír Čermák, umístil do kontextu viktoriánské doby poselství, které za dobovou šerou romantikou, příznačnou morbiditou i prerafaelitským sentimentem získává samostatnou, nadčasovou platnost. Naléhavost otázek po smyslu života, vině a vnitřních démonech, kterým každý z nás musí čelit, je podmanivá a příběh se odvíjí jako hudební symfonie až ke svému dramatickému vyvrcholení.

Jonathan Richardson (1667-1745) was one of 18th-century England's most significant cultural figures. At the age of 61, shortly before his retirement, Richardson began to create a remarkable series of self-portrait drawings. Not intended for public display, these were unguarded explorations of his own character.

''A beguiling book about a lifestyle that many of us dream about'' Daily MailPaul Richardson fled the city to live on the land in a rough-and-tumble village on the edge of Europe. Immersing himself in the culture of his remote Spanish community, he learned the traditional arts of animal husbandry and vegetable growing, wine-making and home distilling, and made bread from the rye he sowed on the stone-walled terraces of his twelve-acre farm. In Richardson''s hands, off-grid living both becomes an act of rebellion and a heartening proof that a simpler, better life is possible, if only we can remove ourselves from the ethos in which conspicuous consumption is a duty and success/failure the wheel on which society turns. Hidden Valley is a glorious narrative of one man''s journey towards self-reliance. Original and thought-provoking, it is also hugely entertaining.

''Samuel Kasumu has written an important - and very moving - book about the outsider phenomenon.'' - Robert Peston'' I loved reading about your childhood and your anxieties as a father. The personal is so well mixed with the analytical. Thank you for reflecting our experiences and ideas so well and so sensitively. This is really great to read!'' - Kadie Kanneh-MasonSamuel Kasumu was the most senior black advisor in Boris Johnson''s government, until he left in April 2021. Throughout his time in Whitehall, Samuel became increasingly aware that he was an outsider - that his own experiences, assumptions and language were so different to many of those he found himself surrounded by in Downing Street.In this book Samuel considers who outsiders are, why they are not talked about enough and how it can be a source of strength that leads them to become high achievers. He argues that the success of many great people can be explained by their outsider status.Drawing on his own experiences in government, growing up and beyond, as well as the stories of other outsiders, famous and lesser known, Samuel shows how outsiders are more likely to be trailblazers and break barriers, how they have a greater sense of perspective and progress and how our differences can be a force for good - in politics and beyond.

This "glorious" revelatory biography from a Pulitzer Prize winner is about the most essential Founding Father (Ron Chernow)—the one who stood behind the change in thinking that produced the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, “Samuel Adams was the man.” With high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history. Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd and eloquent man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’s improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.

From the acclaimed author of Charles Dickens: A Life comes a celebrated biography that casts new light on the remarkable diaries of Samuel Pepys.Samuel Pepys achieved fame as a naval administrator, a friend and colleague of the powerful and learned, a figure of substance. But for nearly ten years he kept a diary which recorded, with unparalleled openness and sensitivity, exactly what it was like to be a young man in Restoration London.Within and beyond the narrative of his extraordinary career, Claire Tomalin explores Pepys'' inner life - his relations with women, his fears and ambitions, his political shifts, his agonies and his delights.''A rich, thoughtful and deeply satisfying account'' Evening Standard''Sex, drink, plague, fire, music, marital conflict, the fall of kings, corruption and courage in public life, wars, navies, public execution, incarceration in the Tower: Samuel Pepys''s life is full of irresistible material'' Guardian''In Claire Tomalin, Pepys has found the biographer he deserves.

A collection of poems exemplifying Romantic aesthetic ideals, whose unique beauty lies in their revolutionary exploration of the ''overflow of powerful emotions recollected in tranquility'', Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth''s Lyrical Ballads is edited with a note on the text by Michael Schmidt in Penguin Classics.Published in 1798, Lyrical Ballads is a dazzling collaboration containing twenty-three poems by close friends, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge - two major figures of English Romanticism. The volume heralded a new approach to poetry and expresses the poets'' reflections on mankind''s relationship with the forces of the world. Coleridge''s contribution includes the nightmarish vision of ''The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere'', one of the works for which he became best known, as well as the fantastical conversational poem ''The Foster-Mother''s Tale'' and the melancholic ''The Nightingale''. Wordsworth''s ''We are Seven'' depicts a child''s naïve optimism in the face of the cruel mortality, while ''Goody Blake and Harry Gill'' and ''Simon Lee'' celebrate the simplicity and strength he perceived in country people, and ''Tintern Abbey'' explores the healing powers of nature.This Penguin Classics edition allows readers to recapture the full impact and power of Lyrical Ballads. It also includes a note on the history of the text by Michael Schmidt.Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) has been criticized as a political turn-coat, drug addict and plagiarist whose wrecked career left only a handful of magical early poems. But the shaping influence of his highly imaginative criticism is now generally accepted, and his position, along with that of William Wordsworth (1770-1850), as one of the two great progenitors of the English Romantic spirit is assured. A great innovator, Wordsworth permanently enlarged the range of English poetry both in subject matter and treatment.If you enjoyed the Lyrical Ballads, you might like Wordsworth''s Selected Poems, also available in Penguin Classics.

A mini-monograph on Samuel Fosso, the renowned Cameroon-born Nigerian photographer. Samuel Fosso (b. 1962) is one of Central Africa’s leading contemporary artists, whose playful and perceptive work investigates Pan-African identity and history through the use of portraiture. Fosso’s path to artistry was found through his initial work as a commercial portrait photographer, utilising his leftover film by capturing self-portraits against well-considered backdrops and incorporating pose, costume and props. Renowned for his ‘autoportraits’ - styling himself and others as characters from popular culture or politics – Samuel Fosso reflects the world around him through a distinct aesthetic that has at times defied Nigerian dictatorial decree. Fosso’s work is now held in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Tate, and he was the recipient of the Prince Claus Award of The Netherlands, in 2001.

The definitive study of the works of Samuel Yellin, the metalworker unparalleled in twentieth-century America, revealing his significance and remarkable creativity  This two-volume publication examines in depth the work of Samuel Yellin (1884–1940), a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant who became the single most important ironworker in America. It narrates his family’s arrival and settling in Philadelphia and his immediate impact on the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art. The rapid rise and sustained success of his business was founded on his relationships with renowned architects such as Paul Cret; Bertram Goodhue; Mellor, Meigs & Howe; George Washington Smith; and Ralph Walker. His devoted clients ranged from Gilded Age plutocrats Henry Clay Frick and J. P. Morgan Jr. to tastemakers Edward Bok and Edgar J. Kaufmann.  Many masterworks are displayed alongside lesser works that establish the breadth and vitality of Yellin’s work. The book seeks to inspire interest in Yellin, whom curators and scholars have at times passed over because of the challenges of placing his work within art historical categories such as Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, or Modernism. Excellent new photographs bring to life many extraordinary objects. Thanks to unlimited access to the Samuel Yellin Metalworkers archives, a wealth of archival material—photographs, drawings, and business records—is published here for the first time.  Distributed for Leeds Art Foundation

Jako ženy žijeme v těsném spojení se svým tělem - skrze menstruaci, těhotenství, porod, mateřství a menopauzu. Každý z těchto přechodů nás v mnoha směrech změní a většinu z nich také oslavujeme. Menopauza však často v ženách vyvolá sklíčenost, jako kdyby naše těla byla poškozená nebo nedostačující, obzvlášť v oblasti sexuality a intimity. K menopauze můžete ale přistoupit také radikálně pozitivním způsobem, zaplaveny pocitem vitálního probuzení a znovu-zažehnutí ženské sexuality, kreativity a spirituality. Autorka několika bestsellerů o vědomém milování Diana Richardson a psychoterapeutka Janet McGeever, obě také učitelky tantry, vám ve své nejnovější knize vysvětlují, co můžete v menopauze očekávat na fyzické, emocionální a spirituální úrovni a co může znamenat pro partnerský vztah. Podrobně zde popisují tantrické techniky a cvičení, které vám pomohou spojit se s intuitivní moudrostí vašeho těla a srdce a pomohou vám osvobodit se od očekávání výkonu konvenčního sexu. Vysvětlují, v čem je tantra ženám v menopauze blízká a jak jejich těla přirozeně vstupují do tantričtější fáze zaměřené na kreativitu a spiritualitu. Prozkoumáte s nimi, jak se dá sex praktikovat nejen pro sex samotný, ale také pro zlepšení zdraví, vztahů, lepší sebeovládání, emocionální rovnováhu a k dosažení rozšířeného vědomí. Využijte menopauzu k prohloubení své důvěry v dokonalost fungování ženského těla a začněte prožívat skutečnou intimitu a hlubokou lásku na úrovni, která byla dosud nepředstavitelná.

Empaths are highly sensitive and feel other people’s energies and emotions as if they were their own. Uniquely intuitive and hyper-perceptive, empaths are also more sensitive to collective energy, the energy of spaces, and in some cases even physical stimuli like noise. Interacting with the world so intimately is a blessing, yet it also means your relationship strategies as an empath—not just regarding romantic love, but in all areas—must be navigated thoughtfully. Romantic partners, friends, coworkers, and family members all present opportunities for uncommonly close connections, though empaths might fall into rescuing, codependency, or people-pleasing as unhealthy relationship coping skills. Instead, learn to: * More mindfully choose between feeling with others or staying in your own energy and emotions. * Support loved ones from a place of healthy detachment and discernment. * Be more assertive about getting your needs and desires met. * Protect and nourish your sensitive system. * Understand and maximize your intuition. * Nurture your relationships to create more healing intimacy. * Engage with collective energy in an empowered way to be of service and live with more purpose. Author and professional intuitive Tanya Carroll Richardson has worked with thousands of empath clients from all over the world. Here she presents a guide to relationships of all kinds with empaths and sensitives specifically in mind, complete with quizzes, interactive exercises, and helpful mantras that make this book a valuable resource for connecting with yourself as well as creating more fulfilling interactions with others.

More Australian Birding Tales takes up where the authorÂ’s very successful first book, An Australian Birding Year, ended. In this new book Bruce Richardson describes his further birding adventures, which take his total ''life list'' from 672 to 759, well exceeding his initial target of 700 species. He delights in finding new ''lifer'' species, whether they are common but not yet seen by him or mega rarities, but he also glories in the fact that his birding trips take him to stunning parts of Australia that he wouldn''t normally have visited. He travels through the outback, takes the ferry over to Tasmania, makes several pelagic expeditions and goes on a memorable trip to Cocos/Keeling and Christmas Islands. He describes his travels with humour, and intersperses the ticks and the dips of birding with personal anecdotes of a life lived through good times and bad. Although reaching the 700 species target was a milestone, for Bruce birding is equally about the vibe, the good friends he makes along the way, and his exploration of the glorious Australian countryside. He certainly does see some cool birds though.

The German Democratic Republic has come to stand as a symbol of communist tyranny, a source of Cold War nostalgia and socialist kitsch, and a failed alternative to the worst excesses of 21st century capitalism. In this book, Ned Richardson-Little delves into the central contradictions of the GDR state: This book illustrates the fault lines of GDR society, the worldviews and experiences of not only those who ruled the GDR, but also those who rebelled against the strictures of state socialism, and those in between who sought a normal life under dictatorship. The German Democratic Republic is a succinct and comprehensive history of East Germany that traces its story from the country’s origins as the Soviet Zone of Occupation after World War II through key events such as the 1953 Uprising, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Helsinki Accords, and the collapse of state socialism in 1989. Some of the themes explored include the memory of Nazism and national identity, everyday life under dictatorship, including consumerism, sexuality, and racism, the global politics of the GDR, the diversity of dissenting voices, and the competing visions for East Germany’s democratic future.

The Lost World of British Communism is a vivid account of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Raphael Samuel, one of post-war Britain's most notable historians, draws on novels of the period and childhood recollections of London's East End, as well as memoirs and Party archives, to evoke the world of British Communism in the 1940s. Samuel conjures up the era when the movement was at the height of its political and theoretical power, brilliantly bringing to life an age in which the Communist Party enjoyed huge prestige as a bulwark for the struggles against fascism and colonialism.
