Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes our hero from the urban haunts of Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan, where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself. Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.''A Wild Sheep Chase has the conventional hull of a thriller - a quest, a mystery, an extraordinary woman, and plenty of elegant duress - but its fantastic superstructure transforms it into something quite different...a science fiction fantasy, a romance, a metaphysical tease, or a dramatisation of philosophical ideas'' Independent

The Weekenders - David F. Ross

The deaths of a series of young Eastern European women in Glasgow leads to a stately home in the Scottish countryside, and back to the Second World War, where a group of young soldiers made their own, shocking rules… Saltire Prize shortlisted author David F. Ross returns with an extraordinary, dark mystery – first in a new series. ‘A thoroughly researched and well imagined historical mystery with echoes of David Peace’ Guardian ‘A novel of real ambition and verve … ranges from wartime Italy to sixties Glasgow to explore the past’s dark hold upon the present. Harrowing and compelling in equal measure, this is David F. Ross at the top of his game’ Liam McIlvanney ‘A masterpiece from one of Glasgow’s finest authors … epic in scale but told through the deeply personal accounts of its luckless, damaged characters. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor’ Callum McSorley ‘Righteous anger drives us through the narrative at a ferocious rate … All of Ross’s novels so far have been accomplished works, but The Weekenders is certainly one of the most compelling, with the dynamism of a thriller and the power of a stirring sermon’ Herald Scotland __________ Glasgow, 1966: Stevie ‘Minto’ Milloy, former star footballer-turned-rookie reporter, finds himself trailing the story of a young Eastern European student whose body has been found on remote moorland outside the city. How did she get there from her hostel at the Sovereign Grace Mission, and why does Stevie find obstacles at every turn? Italy, 1943: As the Allies fight Mussolini’s troops, a group of young soldiers are separated from their platoon, and Glaswegian Jamesie Campbell, his newfound friend Michael McTavish at his side, finds himself free to make his own rules… Glasgow, 1969: Courtroom sketch artist Donald ‘Doodle’ Malpas is shocked to discover that his new case involves the murder of a teenage Lithuanian girl he knows from the Sovereign Grace Mission. Why hasn’t the girl’s death been reported? And why is a young police constable suddenly so keen to join the mission? No one seems willing to join the dots between the two cases, and how they link to Raskine House, the stately home in the Scottish countryside with a dark history and even darker present – the venue for the debauched parties held there by the rich and powerful of the city who call themselves ‘The Weekenders’. Painting a picture of a 1960s Glasgow in the throes of a permissive society, pulled apart by religion, corruption, and a murderous Bible John stalking the streets, The Weekenders is a snapshot of an era of turmoil – and a terrifying insight into the mind of a ruthless criminal… _________________ ‘An alchemical epic that flies through decades while managing to remain deeply grounded in real lives and the battle for truth. Bravo!’ Ewan Morrison ‘This fiction is furious. David F. Ross goes deep and dark, in an attempt to understand the criminal mind … [and] writes with a righteous anger as he examines the evil that men do’ Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae ‘David Ross has a seemingly natural gift for pungently memorable phrasing and dialogue that feels you’re listening in rather than reading’ Damian Barr ‘Stark, uncompromising and gritty, David F. Ross takes us to a dark place that is no easy weekend away’ Douglas Skelton ‘Excruciating vulnerability meets the harsh daily realities of sixties’ Glasgow and the brutal machismo of its poisonous, smoke-filled institutions. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor, David F. Ross’s style has been honed to perfection’ Callum McSorley ‘A gripping tale of secrets and excess, and a stylish, mesmerising thriller, boldly delivered in Ross’ signature style’ George Paterson Praise for David F. Ross 'A dazzling, time-hopping patchwork of pop and politics, sewn together with wit and compassion' Kirstin Innes 'This amiable and ambitious transatlantic extravaganza is a busy social tapestry pegged to real-life events in Scotland and the US … Ross's affection for his characters shines through. There's so much going on here that value for money is pretty much all but guaranteed' Daily Mail 'A mesmerising road trip through the America of Kerouac, Warhol and Reagan. Dashboard Elvis may be dead, but this book is full of vibrant, authentic, colourful life' Stuart Cosgrove 'Few do raw, authentic, almost palpably believable characters better than David F. Ross' The Times 'A masterclass in transatlantic intertwining storytelling from one of Scotland's finest writers' Derek Steel, Razur Cuts ‘David Ross carved out an enduring place for himself among contemporary Scottish novelists’ Herald Scotland 'Few do raw, authentic, almost palpably believable characters better than David F.

Twelve Sheep - John Connell

For John Connell, the lambing season on his County Longford farm begins in the autumn. In the sheep shed, he surveys the dozen females in his care and contemplates the work ahead as the season slowly turns to winter, then spring.The twelve sheep have come into his life at just the right moment. After years of hard work, John felt a deep tiredness creeping up on him, a sadness that he couldn''t shrug off. Having always sought spiritual guidance, he comes to realise that, in addition to the soothing words of literature and philosophy, perhaps the way ahead involves this simple flock of sheep. In the hard work of livestock rearing, in the long nights in the shed helping the sheep to lamb, he can reflect on what life truly means.Like the flock that he shepherds, this book is both simple and profound, a meditation on the rituals of farming life and a primer on the lessons that nature can teach us. As spring returns and the sheep and their lambs are released into the fields, skipping with joy, John recalls the words of Henry David Thoreau, reminding us to ''live in each season as it passes.''

Henry Moore's Sheep Sketchbook - Kenneth Clark, Henry Moore

In 1972, when the packing and crating for a major exhibition made it impossible for him to work in his sculpture studios, Henry Moore retreated to a small studio that looks out on a sheep meadow. Over the course of several months, as sheep were suckled and sheared, Moore produced this delightful flock of sketches and drawings. Sheep are as much a commonplace of the English countryside as hedgerows, but Moore looked at them afresh. Here are ewes nurturing their lambs, lambs playing in the meadow, and the swollen stateliness of sheep with full coats of wool. Many of the sketches evoke themes that are important in all Moore''s work. The depiction of a ewe and lamb, for instance, suggests the mother-and-child theme often evoked in Moore''s sculpture by a large form sheltering a smaller one. Henry Moore presented the sketchbook to his daughter, Mary. In this facsimile edition, first created under Moore''s personal supervision, Mary''s little lambs will charm anyone who sees these tender, vigorous drawings.

Léčení s pomocí duchů rostlin a stromů - Montgomery Pam

Domorodí léčitelé a šamani již od pradávna vědí, že rostliny v sobě mají duchovní esenci, která může komunikovat s okolním světem prostřednictvím světla, zvuku a vibrací. Toto jejich poznání nyní potvrzují i nejnovější vědecké objevy. Kniha Léčení s pomocí duchů rostlin a stromů nám odhaluje mocnou sílu duchů rostlin a stromů, kteří mají schopnost se spojit s námi, lidmi, a naší inteligencí a pomáhají nám dosáhnout hlubokého uzdravení. Tito duchové rostlin a stromů nám umožní se uzdravit na hlubší úrovni, jež přesahuje pouhé léčení symptomů, a přivádějí nás k souladu s rozsáhlým světem přírody. Rostliny nejsou pouhými sloučeninami jednotlivých chemických prvků a látek. Jsou inteligentními bytostmi, které mají schopnost zvyšovat vědomí na úroveň, na které může dojít k opravdovému uzdravení. V této knize nás bylinářka Pam Montgomery naučí rozpoznat příčiny nemocí a ukáže nám, jak můžeme terapeuticky pracovat s duchy rostlin při léčení a obnovování rovnováhy druhých i sebe samých. Její léčebný postup, který nazývá cestou trojité spirály, zahrnuje práci se srdcem, duší a duchem. V našem moderním životě se čím dál častěji potýkáme s citovými zraněními, ztrátou duše a duchovní podvýživou. Díky uzdravení srdce se spojíme se svou duší a navážeme spojení s Duchem. Pam nám v této knize objasní, jak evoluce rostlin vždy předcházela evoluci zvířat a lidí, a ukáže nám, jak nám duchové rostlin nabízejí vedení a pomoc při naší duchovní evoluci - vývojovém stádiu, které je nezbytné nejen pro uzdravení lidí, ale také pro uzdravení Země. PAM MONTGOMERY se věnuje poznávání rostlin a jejich inteligentní duchovní podstaty již od roku 1986. Je zakládající členkou bylinářské organizace Northeast Herbal Association a je poradkyní organizace United Plant Savers. Napsala knihu Partner Earth: A Spiritual Ecology a podílela se také na vzniku knihy Planting the Future. Ve svém domě v Danby ve Vermontu má bylinářskou poradnu, kde se věnuje léčení s pomocí duchů rostlin a současně pořádá výcviky a kurzy léčení s pomocí duchů rostlin.
