One August afternoon, two sisters--Sophia, eight, and Alyona, eleven--go missing from a beach on the far-flung Kamchatka Peninsula in northeastern Russia. Taking us through the year that follows, Disappearing Earth enters the lives of women and girls in this tightly knit community who are connected by the crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. We are transported to vistas of rugged beauty--open expanses of tundra, soaring volcanoes, dense forests, the glassy seas that border Japan and Alaska--and into a region as complex as it is alluring, where social and ethnic tensions have long simmered, and where outsiders are often the first to be accused. In a story as propulsive as it is emotionally engaging, Julia Phillips's powerful novel brings us to a new understanding of the intricate bonds of family and community, in a Russia unlike any we have seen before.

'The superb, funny, fascinating story of Lenin's trans-European rail journey and how it shook the world' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Evening Standard, Books of the Year'Splendid ... a jewel among histories, taking a single episode from the penultimate year of the Great War, illuminating a continent, a revolution and a series of psychologies in a moment of cataclysm and doing it with wit, judgment and an eye for telling detail' David Aaronovitch, The TimesBy 1917 the European war seemed to be endless. Both sides in the fighting looked to new weapons, tactics and ideas to break a stalemate that was itself destroying Europe. In the German government a small group of men had a brilliant idea: why not sow further confusion in an increasingly chaotic Russia by arranging for Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the most notorious of revolutionary extremists, currently safely bottled up in neutral Switzerland, to go home?Catherine Merridale's Lenin on the Train recreates Lenin's extraordinary journey from harmless exile in Zurich, across a Germany falling to pieces from the war's deprivations, and northwards to the edge of Lapland to his eventual ecstatic reception by the revolutionary crowds at Petrograd's Finland Station.With great skill and insight Merridale weaves the story of the train and its uniquely strange group of passengers with a gripping account of the now half-forgotten liberal Russian revolution and shows how these events intersected. She brilliantly uses a huge range of contemporary eyewitnesses, observing Lenin as he travelled back to a country he had not seen for many years. Many thought he was a mere 'useful idiot', others thought he would rapidly be imprisoned or killed, others that Lenin had in practice few followers and even less influence. They would all prove to be quite wrong.

Feeling the red, heart-shaped urgency intensify as the years roll on by? Oh hi! You''re in the right place.Over half of Brits aged 25-44 are now single. It''s become the norm to remain solo until much later in life, given the average marriage ages of 35 (women) and 38 (men). Many of us are choosing never to marry at all. But society, films, song lyrics and our parents are adamant that a happy ending has to be couple-shaped. That we''re incomplete without an ''other half''*, like a bisected panto pony. Cue: single sorrow. Dating like it''s a job. Spending half our lives waiting for somebody-we-fancy to text us back. Feeling haunted by the terms ''spinster'' or ''confirmed bachelor.''Catherine Gray took a whole year off dating to find single satisfaction. She lifted the lid on the reasons behind the global single revolution, explored the bizarre ways cultures single-shame, detached from ''all the good ones are gone!'' panic and debunked the myth that married people are much happier.Let''s start the reverse brainwash, in order to locate - and luxuriate in - single happiness. Are you in?*Spoiler: you''re already wholePRAISE FOR CATHERINE GRAY''S WRITING:"Fascinating." - Bryony Gordon"Not remotely preachy." - The Times"Jaunty, shrewd and convincing." - The Telegraph "Admirably honest, light, bubbly and remarkably rarely annoying." - The Guardian"Truthful, modern and real." - Stylist"Brave, witty and brilliantly written." - Marie Claire"Haunting, admirable and enlightening." - The Pool

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn’t, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone’s life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities.The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It distills the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime’s work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments—and lifetimes—of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us.

‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.

Velkolepé dobrodružství na křídlech jednorožců pokračuje. Skandaru Smithovi se splnil jeho dětský sen - stal se jezdcem. První ročník výcviku byl pro něj i jeho jednorožce Kvítka náročný. Jenže když Skandar a jeho přátelé postoupí do druhého ročníku, v Hnízdě nečekaně vyvstane nová hrozba. Divoké jednorožce, kteří mají být údajně nesmrtelní, někdo surově zabíjí. A to není jediná podivnost, která Skandara trápí. Objeví se prastaré proroctví, které varuje před nebezpečím, a ostrov začnou pustošit strašlivé bouře. Má to snad všechno nějakou spojitost? Ale jakou? Mezitím se na ostrov snaží dostat Skandarova sestra Kenna, aby mohla podstoupit výcvik společně se svým bratrem, a Skandar je odhodlaný jí za každou cenu pomoci. Dokážou společně ostrov zachránit, než bude pro všechny příliš pozdě? První díl série Skandar a zloděj jednorožců se dočkal vydání ve více než čtyřiceti zemích světa.

Jednorožci nepatří do pohádek, patří do zlých snů. Tyto smrtelně nebezpečné stvůry může zkrotit jen jezdec, který jim pomáhal se vylíhnout. Skandar Smith chtěl odmalinka jezdit na jednorožci a teď konečně nastala chvíle podstoupit zkoušku z líhnutí, která rozhodne o tom, jestli mu bude souzeno podílet se na vyklubání jednorožce. Ke zkoušce však není připuštěn, a když navíc tajemná, děsivá postava přezdívaná Jehla ukradne nejmocnějšího jednorožce na světě, ukáže se, že jezdit na jednorožci je mnohem nebezpečnější, než si Skandar kdy uměl představit.Tváří v tvář magii živlů, urputným bitvám na obloze, prastarým tajemstvím, napínavým závodům a samozřejmě i krvežíznivým jednorožcům začíná Skandarovi docházet, že se se svými přáteli ocitl ve velkém nebezpečí.

Ve třetím díle napínavé série čeká Skandara zatím nejobtížnější zkouška. Pokud chtějí Skandar a jeho kamarádi přežít třetí ročník výcviku, musejí uspět v několika hrůzostrašných soutěžích, pořádaných v jednotlivých živelních oblastech ostrova. Přátelství, spojenectví i pouta mezi jezdci a jednorožci se budou napínat k prasknutí — a obstojí jen ta nejpevnější. Skandarova sestra Kenna mezitím konečně dorazila do Hnízda, ale kvůli svému podvrženému poutu a divoké jednorožce se cítí osamělá a odstrkovaná. A když se po strašlivém objevu ocitne budoucnost ostrova v ohrožení, všichni si začnou ukazovat na jednoho člověka… Zatímco podezření sílí a temné mocnosti se chystají vytáhnout do boje, Skandar se musí rozhodnout, komu zůstane věrný. Jak daleko je ochotný zajít — pro Kennu a pro Hnízdo?
