Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic. Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth. The Liar is a thrilling, sophisticated and laugh out loud hilarious novel from a brilliantly talented writer.

One of the BBC''s ''100 Novels That Shaped Our World''The Hound of the Baskervilles gripped readers when it was first serialised and remains one of Sherlock Holmes''s greatest and most popular adventures. Could the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville have been caused by the gigantic ghostly hound that is said to have haunted his family for generations? Arch-rationalist Sherlock Holmes characteristically dismisses the theory as nonsense. And, immersed in another case, he sends Dr Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and observe the suspects at close hand. With its atmospheric setting on the ancient, wild moorland and its savage apparition, The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the greatest crime novels ever written. Rationalism is pitted against the supernatural and good against evil as Sherlock Holmes sets out to defeat a foe almost his equal.This edition contains a full chronology of Arthur Conan Doyle''s life and works, an introduction by renowned horror scholar Professor Christopher Frayling discussing the background to the novel and the legends and events that inspired the story, with further reading and explanatory notes.''Arthur Conan Doyle is unique ...

Sličný šikula Paris si coby arbitr marnivých olympských bohyň vyčíhl neméně hezkou Helenu, slovo dalo slovo a záhy byla ruka v rukávě, jakož i… ehm… pod suknicí. A pochopitelně též na sukovici, neboť pevninské i ostrovní Řecko kvůli jejímu únosu všeobecně mobilizovalo. O mečích, kudlách a krvežíznivosti nakrknuté Sparty nemluvě. Trójská válka o uloupenou krasavici – dosud řádně provdanou za borce Meneláa – trvala deset let a předvedla další hrdiny, vylomeniny i koniny na obou stranách fronty. A teď je nasnadě kontrolní otázka: co když všechno bylo daleko prozaičtější než v Homérových verších a šlo především o územní zisky rozmáhajících se Achájců? Tak či onak se na obhajobu antické invazní řežby zrodil božsky zauzlovaný příběh o nezkrotných vášních, neochvějném hrdinství a mazané lsti, krvavě zapsaný do písku maloasijského pobřeží.

Protože smích je brána, kterou se dá do člověka propašovat mnoho dobrého, protáhl tudy Stephen Fry i kulturní základy evropské civilizace. Zatímco jeho krajan Robert Graves nebo náš Eduard Petiška přibližovali starořeckou mytologii sošným jazykem odpovídajícím bájné úctyhodnosti, špikuje prvotřídní britský komik antické látky současným humorem. Dává si zvlášť záležet na vášnivých vylomeninách a úchvatných úkladech, k tomu přimíchává šarmantní škodolibost a navrch i kapku rafinované rozvernosti, jež plodí samé zádrhele. Vždyť dávní bohové se nám tolik podobají – a teď dokonce začali myslet, mluvit a škodit po našem! Ostatně ať si Homér & spol. elegantně básní, jak mrav žádá, bohy si v zájmu sebemrskačství stvořili sami lidé, ačkoli velikáni z Olympu se nám znovu pokusí nakukat, že jsme jen hračky pro jejich potěchu…

Príbeh trójskej vojny pozná azda každý z nás – keď syn trójskeho kráľa uniesol spartskú kráľovnú a vychýrenú krásavicu Helenu, Gréci zhromaždili tisíc lodí a vyplávali do strašnej vojny proti veľkolepému mestu, ktoré obliehali celých desať rokov. Pôvodcom vojny je sám Zeus – požiadal totiž trójskeho princa Parida, aby rozhodol, ktorá z troch olympských bohýň – Héry, Atény a Afrodity – je najkrajšia. Afrodita Parida podplatila, sľúbila mu lásku najočarujúcejšej ženy sveta Heleny. Paris neváhal a svoju odmenu smelo uniesol priamo zo sídla jej manžela, spartského kráľa Menelaa. Po tejto neslýchanej urážke nabrali udalosti rýchly spád. Rozpúta sa nekonečná surová vojna, počas ktorej obe strany utrpia ťažké straty. Grékom sa nedarí poraziť Trójanov, lebo ich najodvážnejšieho bojovníka Achilla spaľuje hnev na spojenca, ktorý si prisvojil jeho otrokyňu Briseidu, a preto sa odmieta zapojiť do boja...

Když se Prométheovou zásluhou věk bohů Řecku přejedl a prosadili se bájní hrdinové, začalo být u tamního moře dusno.

A major new history of the two most important British secret service networks in the First and Second World Wars  Intelligence gathering was essential to both sides in the First and Second World Wars. At the heart of MI6’s efforts were two key networks in Belgium. Agents in The White Lady acted as couriers, radio operators and spies to facilitate the end of German control. And, when war broke out again two decades later, the leaders of the network regrouped and established a successor: The Clarence Service.  Helen Fry charts the history of these pivotal intelligence networks. Drawing on recently declassified information, Fry examines who the agents were, how they were recruited, and how the intelligence they gathered directly impacted the outcome of both wars. Operators in the field sent over eight hundred radio messages to London and delivered more than a thousand reports, including groundbreaking information on Hitler’s secret weapon the V-1. This is a compelling account of the agents who risked their lives and found ingenious ways to smuggle intelligence out of occupied Belgium.

The anonymous protagonist recounts his life story, showing us how the people he has loved – his parents, sister, grandfather, best friend, and partner – have all helped to form who he is. He is a different version of himself with each loved one, versions which combine to make up a whole person. However, as the book goes on and the protagonist starts to lose grip of people around him, he begins to wonder who he really is without them. Are the various versions of himself lost with those who knew them, or can he remain whole in spite of their loss?

In his lifetime he secured Scottish independence in the face of English imperial aggression under the successive leadership of Edward I and Edward II.

Tent poles in the ground is a collection of twenty-one texts by Stephen Bates. Like Papers (2001), Papers 2 (2007) and Papers 3 (2016), which were written in collaboration with Jonathan Sergison, co-founder of Sergison Bates architects, ''Tent Poles'' testifies to the importance of writing as part of a form of practice that includes building and teaching.The reflections included are part of the process of developing and testing ideas in Sergison Bates’s London studio and in Stephen Bates’s teaching studio at the Chair of Urbanism and Housing, TU München. Covering a range of themes, from domesticity to the city, landscape and the design process, they record both the fundamental principles that inform his approach to architecture and the shifts in thinking that have come about in 30 years of practice.While these are personal reflections on buildings and spaces, they were inspired by discussions across the table in the London studio, with teaching colleagues and students in Munich, and meetings with interesting people from different creative disciplines. Like the making of buildings, thinking and writing about them, too, is always the result of a process of collaboration.

From the renowned naturalist Stephen Moss comes the must-have gift for bird lovers this Christmas. ''Wherever there is a stretch of water for them to find food and make their nest, you will come across swans'' With beautiful illustrations throughout, this eye-opening biography reveals the hidden secrets of one of Britain''s best-known birds. The Mute Swan is not so much a bird, as a national treasure: the avian equivalent of Sir David Attenborough or the Queen. These huge and stately creatures are part of our urban and rural landscapes, a constant presence on lakes, rivers and ponds throughout Britain. Yet despite their familiarity, they are often misunderstood; and while many people love swans, others fear them. Swans also feature in myths and legends, art and literature, dance and music, not just in Britain but all around the world. Stephen Moss delves into the facts and fiction about these charismatic birds, describes their seasonal life cycle and examines their central role in our history and culture. He also includes stories about ''wild swans'' - Whooper and Bewicks - that visit us in winter; and the Black Swan of Australia.

If ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock their name was Led Zeppelin. The band that out-sold the Rolling Stones and made Robert Johnson''s deals with the devil look like a playground game of conkers were as high, inflated and glorified as their namesake. In Stephen Davis''s scorching account of their phenomenally successful career, no aspect - however disquieting - is ignored. The narcotic, alcoholic and psychotic wreckage they wreaked, the disturbing influence of the notorious mage Aleister Crowley on lead guitarist Jimmy Page and the death of John Bonham are all recorded. Above all, the exultant, blazing charge of their music and its effects on Led Zeppelin and their fans is scrutinized. Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis is a fierce and fearless story about a band that remain a legend of musical, sexual and mystical power. It is the last word in rock ''n'' roll savagery.

Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord''s Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus''s disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord''s Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God''s Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us.Highly regarded New Testament scholar William Wright shows how this classic text can speak afresh to the life of the church today. He integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord''s Prayer. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of this important Christian prayer.The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible to the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman, Duke Divinity School.

The fire was visible from seventy miles away and the heat generated was so intense that a helicopter could only circle the rig at a perimeter of one mile. On the surface of the sea, a converted fishing trawler inched as close as possible, but the paint on the vessel’s hull blistered and burnt. In the water surrounding the inferno, men’s heads could be seen bobbing like apples as their yellow hard hats melted with the heat.On 6 July 1988 a series of explosions ripped through the Piper Alpha oil platform, 110 miles north-east of Aberdeen in the North Sea. Ablaze with 226 men on board, the searing temperatures caused the platform to collapse in just two hours. Only sixty-one would survive by leaping over 100 feet into the water below.Newly updated for the thirtieth year since the tragedy, Fire in the Night by journalist Stephen McGinty tells in gripping detail the devastating story of that summer evening. Combining interviews with survivors, witness statements and transcripts from the official inquiry into the disaster, this is the moving and vivid tale of what remains the worst offshore oil-rig disaster to date.
