Part biography, part forensic jigsaw puzzle, part cold-case detective investigation, The Eagle in the Mirror is the story of Charles Howard 'Dick' Ellis. The longest-serving spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Ellis helped set up the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), now known as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). In the 1940s he was considered one of the top three secret agents in MI6 and controlled its activities, as one journalist put it, 'for half the world'.But in the 1980s crusading espionage journalist Chapman Pincher (in the hugely successful books Their Trade is Treachery and Too Secret Too Long) and retired MI5 intelligence officer Peter Wright (in the worldwide bestseller Spycatcher) posthumously accused Ellis of having operated as a 'triple agent' for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In 1965, while under interrogation in London, Ellis had allegedly made a confession that he had supplied information to the Nazis before World War II. However, Pincher's and Wright's accusations against Ellis have never been comprehensively proven. No confession has materialised.Was Ellis guilty or was an innocent man framed? By confessing did he take the fall for someone else? Or had the intelligence agencies of the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia been fatally compromised by a 'super mole'? Internationally bestselling author JESSE FINK (Pure Narco, Bon: The Last Highway, The Youngs) attempts to find out the truth once and for all.The Eagle in the Mirror is not just a long-overdue biography of the unheralded Dick Ellis; it's a gripping real-life international whodunit.

In fact, he’s been poisoned with a cyberdrug derived from the venom of the black mamba—one that renders him nearly fearless and his cyberbrain susceptible to the installation of whatever new software his puppeteers desire.

Ghost stories reached the height of popularity in the late nineteenth century and this collection offers a fine selection of ghostly tales from that time. Many of the contributors are amongst the most famous writers in the English language led by the master of the genre, M. R. James.

Nesbit aim for downright terror in their tales ‘The Shadow in the Corner’ and ‘Man-Size in Marble’ and there’s even room for some spooky humour with Saki’s tale, ‘Laura’. With tales of revenge, supernatural malevolence and ghostly goings on, this anthology is full of expertly crafted and terrifying ghost stories.This series of gorgeous pocket-sized paperbacks from Macmilan Collector's Library celebrates the very best Gothic and horror literature, teeming with monsters, misfits and ghosts.

Agentka Motoko Kusanagi je členem speciální jednotky, která pronásleduje nebezpečné teroristy a kyberzločince. Především vražedné hackery, kteří se dokáží nabourat i do lidského mozku. A za tím vším stojí možná ještě něco víc... Crew tento rok splatí jeden ze zásadních komiksových dluhů! Vydá kultovní mangu, která inspirovala několik proslulých filmů, počítačových her a úžasný animovaný seriál. Ghosti in the Shell je dílo, které položilo základy pro moderní mangu. Kreslíř a scenárista Masamune Širó je tak ikonickou postavou, že při nákupu práv se muselo podepsat, že i v českém komiksu zůstanou jím napsané zvukové efekty a poznámky – a budou se překládat zvlášť. Tohle zkrátka není jen akční sci-fi. Širó do mangy vložil vlastní filozofii, teze o sociálních problémech i následcích technologického vývoje. I proto se k Ghost in the Shell stále vrací jak čtenáři, tak tvůrci, kteří hledají inspiraci.

Longlisted for the André Simon Award for Food Books for 2024"A beautifully written book by a true artisan. . . . Easy to read and likely to inspire, this book will take your bread-making to the next level.”—Sandor Ellix Katz, fermentation revivalist; author of The Art of Fermentation and other fermentation bestsellers“It’s impossible to read through the recipes in The Hungry Ghost Bread Book without being inspired to scoop out some sourdough starter and get mixing.”—Maurizio Leo, author of James Beard Award–winning The Perfect LoafFor the adventurous home baker and small-scale commercial baker alike, The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a delicious guide and a pious devotional to the wonderful, awe-inspiring world of sourdough.What does it mean to take on the practice of bread? Jonathan Stevens, co-owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton, Massachusetts, has pondered this question over thirty years of baking sourdough bread. Baking is a ritual that demands attention, physical proximity, close observation, and continual adjustment. It begets sustenance, fosters community, and connects us with a 10,000-year-old craft.The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a window onto one baker’s artisan approach to sourdough bread—the culmination of his time in the tide of dough.Sourdough, declares Stevens, is not a style of bread. It is bread. The sourdough starter—the microbial community used to inoculate bread dough—transforms flour into something truly digestible by humans, unlocking the nutrients that are otherwise inaccessible. Stevens’s unique approach to working with sourdough can be summed up by three tenets, each of which begins with “more.” More hydration, more fermentation, and more heat in the oven.Inside these pages, you’ll find tools, techniques, insights, short-cuts, ingredients, warnings, and a handful of haikus. You’ll find instructions for creating and nurturing your own sourdough starter, as well as formulas for a variety of loaves, flatbreads, crackers, folds, scones, bagels, and more, including:Eight-Grain BreadFig & Sage BreadPotato-Thyme FougasseSesame-Spelt CrackersRosemary Walnut Scones The results are quite fantastic: bread that bites back, heels worth chewing on, and scraps worth toasting. A return to real Wonder."The Hungry Ghost feeds more than spirits with its spectacular breads."—Saveur (naming Hungry Ghost Bread a "Great American Bread Bakery")

Především vražedné hackery, kteří se dokáží nabourat i do lidského mozku. A za tím vším stojí možná ještě něco víc... Kultovní manga, která inspirovala několik proslulých filmů, počítačových her a úžasný animovaný seriál. Ghosti in the Shell je dílo, které položilo základy pro moderní mangu. Kreslíř a scenárista Masamune Širó je tak ikonickou postavou, že při nákupu práv se muselo podepsat, že i v českém komiksu zůstanou jím napsané zvukové efekty a poznámky – a budou se překládat zvlášť. Tohle zkrátka není jen akční sci-fi. Širó do mangy vložil vlastní filozofii, teze o sociálních problémech i následcích...

Karen O''Brien-Kop''s introduction to the Yogasutra highlights its status as a significant work of philosophy. Approaching the Yogasutra as living philosophy, this book elucidates philosophical conceptions of yoga, recognises the logical structure the sutras follow and explains the rules and principles that have sustained Patañjali’s system of thought for centuries. Moving beyond standard interpretations of Patañjali''s text and commentary as an aphoristic practice manual, O''Brien-Kop uses branches of philosophy to read the Yogasutra. Covering reality, self, ethics, language and knowledge, Patañjali’s philosophies come to the fore. The book introduces his reasoned positions on dual and non­dual metaphysics, the relationship between mind and body, the qualities of consciousness, the nature of freedom, and how to live ethically. Carefully-selected extracts from the primary text are translated for those unfamiliar with Sanskrit and commentaries run throughout. A glossary provides definitions of key concepts with useful translations. Accessible and up-to-date, this introduction broadens our understanding of Indian philosophical thought and explains why the Yogasutra deserves to be read alongside Parmenides’ ‘On Nature’ and Plato’s Phaedo as a classic of world philosophy.

A dazzling speculative novel of 'counterfactual history' from one of America's most highly-regarded science fiction authors, Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle includes an introduction by Eric Brown in Penguin Modern Classics. Philip K. Dick's acclaimed cult novel gives us a horrifying glimpse of an alternative world - one where the Allies have lost the Second World War. In this nightmare dystopia the Nazis have taken over New York, the Japanese control California and the African continent is virtually wiped out. In a neutral buffer zone in America that divides the world's new rival superpowers, lives the author of an underground bestseller. His book offers a new vision of reality - an alternative theory of world history in which the Axis powers were defeated - giving hope to the disenchanted. Does 'reality' lie with him, or is his world just one among many others? Philip Kindred Dick (1928-82) was born in Chicago in 1928. His career as a science fiction writer comprised an early burst of short stories followed by a stream of novels, typically character studies incorporating androids, drugs, and hallucinations. His best works are generally agreed to be The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for the movie Blade Runner. If you enjoyed The Man in the High Castle, you might like Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, also available in Penguin Classics.
