After eight years living in Copenhagen, an English journalist, driven by a passion for languages and mountains, finally rebels. With little more than an assortment of Earl Grey teabags, Danish candles and a map, Georgina Howard abandons her all-too-cosy, cinnamon-scented lifestyle and drives south.The journey leads to wild and craggy landscapes in the Basque Pyrenees on the French/Spanish border, where place names are written in a bizarre, foreign tongue full of x s and z s. Losing her heart to this beautiful land and her pride to the inscrutability of the language, Howard moves into an isolated barn in a mountain hamlet. While pagan festivals reverberate through the valleys, her Basque neighbours - farmers, shepherds, a gravedigger and a champion female lumberjack - observe her, bemused. Only when her daughter, Marion, is born - after an unsuccessful relationship with an eccentric Basque miller - do Howard s neighbours drop their reserve and welcome her into their homes. Taking Marion s upbringing upon themselves, they fatten her up on spicy Basque sausages and black bean stews, teach her Basque nursery rhymes and train her to milk sheep. Meanwhile, Howard converts a barn into the headquarters of an international business providing walking, culture and language tours. Resigned to the ineptitude of their new neighbour, with patience and amusement, the locals tow her car out of ditches and teach her how to stack wood, catch mice, unblock septic tanks and drink wine from a leather gourd.In the Footsteps of Smugglers follows the adventures of an outsider: a single mother, linguist, cosmopolitan nomad and cultural chameleon who paradoxically makes her home among an indigenous people deeply rooted in their land, with a language and culture dating back to Stone-Age times. Unwittingly, she repays their hospitality by luring anti-terrorist squads, blackmailers and spies into their midst as the dramatic past of the Basque Country proves to have unexpected and far-reaching consequences. An inspiring, humorous travel memoir, Bradt s In the Footsteps of Smugglers weaves behind-the-scenes vignettes of daily rural life and historical research to produce authentic insights on all things Basque, threaded with a rhapsody on the theme of identity.

When the Treasury lost control of interest rates to the Bank of England in 1997, its status looked under threat. However, it quickly reasserted its power by dominating policymaking across Whitehall and diminishing other ministries in the process. It also successfully fought off attempts by Prime Ministers, from Blair to Johnson, to cut it down to size. In this fascinating insider account, based on in-depth interviews with the Chancellors and key senior officials, Howard Davies shows how the past twenty-five years have nonetheless been a roller-coaster ride for the Treasury. Heavily criticized for its response to the global financial crisis, and for the rigours of the austerity programme, it also ran into political controversy through its role in the Scottish referendum and the Brexit debate. The Treasuryâ ™s dire predictions of the impact of Brexit have not been borne out. Redemption of a kind, though a costly one, came from its muscular response to the COVID crisis. Anyone with an interest in economic policymaking, in the UK and elsewhere, will find this a valuable and entertaining account.

Úplný, fascinující příběh života a díla Boba Dylana je v působivé knize Down The Highway, kterou lze považovat za definitivní biografii této americké hudební legendy, vyprávěn jako nikdy předtím.Už od počátku šedesátých let, kdy Bob Dylan ovlivnil průběh folkového revivalu písněmi jako Blowin’ In The Wind, byl jedním z nejlepších autorů nové éry, umělcem, jehož skladby zachytily ducha doby a upoutaly představivost milionů. Od té doby uplynulo hodně vody a Dylan je stále tady – milován těmi, kdo s jeho muzikou vyrůstali, a obdivován mladšími generacemi, které v něm rozpoznaly nepřekonatelného hudebního inovátora. Ačkoli strávil bezmála půl století pod drobnohledem médií, zůstal dodnes záhadnou postavou, jejíž soukromý život – od památné nehody v roce 1966 až po otázku, kolikrát se vlastně oženil a kolik má dětí – halí mlha tajemství.Uznávaný životopisec Howard Sounes v knize Down The Highway rozptyluje veškeré pochybnosti a nabízí nový, zasvěcený pohled na téměř každý aspekt Dylanovy existence, včetně jeho hudby, historie jednotlivých nahrávání, složitého milostného života, rodiny a obchodních záležitostí. Výsledkem je dokonalý a přesný portrét této nepolapitelné a těkavé hvězdy. Během tří let se autorovi podařilo vyzpovídat více než 250 osob, které v Dylanově příběhu sehrály klíčovou roli. Bývalí spoluhráči, přítelkyně a členové písničkářovy rodiny mu umožnili přístup k dosud neznámým dokumentům. Na základě této obrovské masy exkluzivních informací Sounes vystavěl chytlavou a čtivou biografii, srozumitelnou, a přitom velmi objevnou a vyčerpávající. Díky ní může čtenář s Dylanem znovu urazit celou jeho pouť, počínající v těžařském městečku v severní Minnesotě. Je to podivuhodná cesta a každý, kdo má doma nějaké album Boba Dylana, jí bude fascinován.Druhé, doplněné vydání této publikace obsahuje nové kapitoly, věnované poslednímu čtvrtstoletí, ve kterém vznikly Dylanovy knižní vzpomínky, rozhlasové pořady, kresby, sinatrovské nahrávky i autorské desky Modern Times, Together Through Life, Tempest a Rough And Rowdy Ways. Autor také nemohl opomenout rok 2016, kdy byla Bobu Dylanovi jako prvnímu písničkáři v dějinách udělena Nobelova cena za literaturu.Sounesova kniha Down The Highway vychází v češtině již podruhé a z anglického originálu ji přeložil Michal Bystrov.

Nobles might seek her skills as a bladesmith—one of few who can imbue her work with precious jadu, the last source of magic in the realm—but she has no qualifications as a potential bride for the crown prince. Still, the invitation is the chance at adventure, and the means to finally visit the capital city her late mother loved.But what awaits her in Kaldari is nothing she could have imagined—and fraught with danger. It’s not the crown prince, but his impossibly handsome, illegitimate half-brother, Roshan, who captures her interest…and her ire. The invitation isn’t a quest to find a suitable bride, but a veiled hunt for the Starkeeper—a girl rumored to hold the magic of the stars in her blood. And across the city, unrest is brewing between the noble houses and the rebel militia.When the rebels attack, Suraya and Roshan find themselves on the run, trying to deny their simmering attraction and the knowledge that Suraya herself might be the Starkeeper. But Roshan is guarding secrets of his own. And with no control over the power stirring within her, Suraya has drawn the attention of a dark god, an immortal whose interest might be the biggest threat of all.“Consumes all your attention and leaves you longing for more!” —Jennifer L.

The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 articles and essays written by James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton to promote the ratification of the US Constitution. Up to the 20th century, the collection was usually referred to as The Federalist.They were intended to persuade people to accept the Constitution. In Federalist No. 10, Madison argues for a vast, commercial republic and explores ways to prevent majority faction domination. In Federalist No. 84, Alexander Hamilton argues that the proposed Constitution s multiple freedom-protecting clauses collectively constitute a bill of rights. The best explanation of what has come to be known as Federalism is provided by James Madison. An incomparable explication of the Constitution may be found in The Federalist Papers.Hamilton turned down three of Morris s essays, and Morris declined the invitation. Duer later wrote in favor of the three Federalist authors under the pen name Philo-Publius, which is based on Hamilton s pseudonym Publius and may mean either Friend of the People or Friend of Hamilton. The three men produced 85 articles in all for six months. Madison is regarded as the father of the Constitution, while Hamilton served as the first secretary of the Treasury.

A masterpiece (Salman Rushdie) by the author of modern classic The Unbearable Lightness of Being. It took the temperature of the age as no other book did.

A married couple manages their ménage-à -trois as Mother moves in. A clandestine horoscope writer is questioned.

It was addictive and fun, sexy and cool, easy to read, and made me feel brighter, switched on, and more alive. You must read this novel. Can t tell you about it, you just have to do it yourself.

This holds a special place in my reading history as the one book that I instantly began re-reading as soon as I finished it. Absolutely enchanted me. It s such an unique novel. It speaks of so many things, from communism and regimes to love and art. For me personally, it is a perfect book. I am not going to spoil the story here, but while the story is not supernatural in any way, it takes on a fantastical flavor, full of mysteries and strange emotions ... It is obvious that Kundera has thought a lot about life, about the meaning of life, and lets the reader in on his secrets. Such a unique writer, Kundera!

On 6 April 1967, at the invitation of the Socialist Students of Austria at the University of Vienna, Theodor W. Adorno gave a lecture which is not merely of historical interest. Against the background of the rise of the National Democratic Party of Germany, which had enjoyed remarkable electoral success in the first two years after its formation in November 1964, Adorno analysed the goals, resources and tactics of the new right-wing nationalism of this time. Contrasting it with the ⠘old⠙ fascism of the Nazis, Adorno gave particular attention to the ways in which far-right movements elicited enthusiastic support in sections of the West German population, 20 years after the war had ended.   Much has changed since then, but some elements have remained the same or resurfaced in new forms, 50 years later. Adorno⠙s penetrating analysis of the sources of right-wing radicalism is as relevant today as it was five decades ago. It is a prescient message to future generations who find themselves embroiled once again in a struggle against a resurgent nationalism and right-wing extremism.

If anyone can save capitalism from the capitalists, it s Steven Pearlstein. This lucid, brilliant book refuses to abandon capitalism to those who believe morality and justice irrelevant to an economic system. -Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large, VoxPulitzer Prize-winning economics journalist Steven Pearlstein argues that our thirty year experiment in unfettered markets has undermined core values required to make capitalism and democracy work.With a New Introduction by the AuthorThirty years ago, greed is good and maximizing shareholder value became the new mantras woven into the fabric of our business culture, economy, and politics. Although, around the world, free market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the United States most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10%, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch. As a result, Americans are losing faith that a free market economy is the best system.In Moral Capitalism, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steven Pearlstein chronicles our descent and challenges the theories being taught in business schools and exercised in boardrooms around the country. We re missing a key tenet of Adam Smith s wealth of nations: without trust and social capital, democratic capitalism cannot survive. Further, equality of incomes and opportunity need not come at the expense of economic growth.Pearlstein lays out bold steps we can take as a country: a guaranteed minimum income paired with universal national service, tax incentives for companies to share profits with workers, ending class segregation in public education, and restoring competition to markets. He provides a path forward that will create the shared prosperity that will sustain capitalism over the long term.Previously published as Can American Capitalism Survive?

THE WORLD’S MIGHTEST 16th CENTURY PURITANICAL ADVENTURER! From the genius mind of Robert E. Howard, creator of CONAN THE BARBARIAN comes another sword-and-sorcery legend, Solomon Kane. Set in the 16h Century, Kane is a Puritan avenger roaming the known world on a quest to combat the forces of darkness in all its forms.Set in the late 16th-17th Century, Solomon Kane oft described as a living weapon of God, is described as a tall, thin, dour one-man war-machine traveling the world spreading the good word and delivering vengeance and wrath upon the evil and corrupt, from devil-worshiping devotees, to pirates, cannibals, demons, werewolves and vampires. This collection spans 15 years and collects over 600 pages of jaw-busting action.Solomon Kane first appeared in the legendary magazine Weird Tales back in 1928, and was described by his creator, the legendary Robert E. Howard as “A man born out of time, a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher and a touch of the pagan. A knight errant in the sombre clothes of a fanatic. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things, avenge all crimes against right and justice.”Now Kane’s complete, classic original comic strip adventures are collected in one jaw-dropping Omnibus volume! Featuring adaptations of Robert E. Howard’s formative tales and new chapters by such scribes as Roy Thomas, Ralph Macchio, Don Glut and Doug Moench. With artwork by David T. Wenzel, Howard Chaykin, Al Williamson and Colin MacNeil and featuring legendary artists Neal Adams, Mike Mignola, Mike Zeck and John Ridgway.From the sinister forests of 16th Century England battling witch-covens, across central Europe fighting vampires, and to the plains of Africa raining vengeance upon cannibals and demons alike. Collecting: MARVEL PREMIERE (1972) 33-34; THE SWORD OF SOLOMON KANE (1985) 1-6; MATERIAL FROM CONAN SAGA (1987) 50, DRACULA LIVES!

Direction and Destiny in the Birth Chart returns due to popular demand! When Howard Sasportas died in 1992, the astrological community recognised that it had lost one of its best-loved and most original thinkers. His lectures made him a highly respected figure in the international astrological world. At Howard s seminars the participants could enjoy his unique combination of intuitive insight, humour, warmth, inspired interpretation, and profound grasp of human nature. It is his rare blend of spirituality and down-to-earth, trenchant observations of human psychological dynamics which makes his work so unusual and memorable. The three seminars included in this reprint of the original volume all deal with the themes of direction and destiny in the birth chart. In personal consultation work Howard had the gift of inspiring his clients and highlighting potentials which gave them renewed hope and new directions to pursue in life. These seminars convey the same optimism and positive vision of human possibilities. The first seminar, on the theme of vocation, deals practically, psychologically and philosophically with that most difficult of questions: How can we discover the right path in life? The second seminar, on those mysterious points in the horoscope known as the Moon s Nodes, explores the distinction between fate and destiny, and the ways in which, as Jung once put it, we can learn to do what we must do gladly . The third seminar, on the psychology of the helper , examines the astrological signatures of the aptitudes and psychological patterns of those who are called to work in the helping professions. This volume is accessible, profound and revealing, and is essential reading for any astrological student seeking to understand the mystery and creative challenge of what impels us to move forward in life.

The Wests claimed twelve victims, young women and girls including members of their own family. Nine mutilated bodies were found buried under their home at 25 Cromwell St, Gloucester, the so-called House of Horrors.Author Howard Sounes wrote the first major book about this extraordinary case, Fred Rose, having broken stories about the investigation as a journalist. As well as being the first to use this title, which has been much copied since, he was the first to use the phrase House of Horrors, and has become the leading expert in the West case. He is the presenter of a hit podcast series about the murders; and Senior Producer on the new series for Netflix, Fred Rose West: A British Horror Story, which he also features in. While his first book, Fred Rose stands as a true crime classic, Sounes #39;s new book - The Fred West Tapes - sheds wholly new light on the investigation, bringing readers into the interview room as detectives quizzed Fred West. The Fred West Tapes will draw a new generation and a global audience to the case.The Fred West Tapes incorporates remarkable new evidence and primary source testimony, including the experiences of the West children and victim families. With never-before-seen and heard testimony and evidence, this is a fascinating journey into the twisted mind of serial killer Fred West and his marriage to Rose, his partner in crime.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft had a short life, and he died of cancer in 1936 at the age of 46. But in that relatively short time he had a significant, varied and outstanding output, and although he was not a well-known writer during the time he lived, he has since been hailed as one of the great supernatural fiction writers. Although a huge influence on many writers since his death, and now someone with significant book sales every year, Lovecraft never managed to make a living from writing during his lifetime. Lovecraft spent much time battling various physical and mental issues, but he was able to form bonds and relationships with key people in his life, some of which influenced his thinking and his work. These included his mother, grandfather, aunt, wife and famous figures from the time including Harry Houdini and Robert E Howard; comments from many are included. Lovecraft s sensitivity comes through in his writing, and this book also contains numerous quotes from his famous fictional works. Samples from his poems, letters and other writings serve to paint a full portrait of this master of his chosen genre, horror, but who also contributed significantly to science fiction and fantasy; he truly possessed outstanding talent, as celebrated inside.

It is the fall of 1939, and Lieutenant Grange and his men are living in a chalet above a concrete bunker deep in the Ardennes forest, charged with defending the French-Belgian border against the Germans in a war that seems unreal, distant, and unlikely. Far more immediate is the earthy life of the forest itself and the deep sensations of childhood it recalls from Grange’s memory. Ostensibly readying for war, Grange instead spends his time observing the change in seasons, falling in love with a young free-spirited widow, and contemplating the absurd stasis of his present condition. This novel of long takes, dream states, and little dramatic action culminates abruptly in battle, an event that is as much the real incursion of the German army into France as it is the sudden intrusion of death into the suspended disbelief of life. Richard Howard’s skilled translation captures the fairy-tale otherworldliness and existential dread of this unusual, elusive novel (first published in 1958) by the supreme prose stylist Julien Gracq.

It begins with a short story written in 1921 by American master horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft called The Music of Erich Zann. The author himself considered the story to be one of his masterpieces, and it is often deservedly included in various horror-story collections. The second short story was written by Bram Stoker. Indeed, THAT Stoker who wrote the epistolary novel Dracula – the very first novel that dealt with a vampire legend. The Judge’s House (written in 1914) completes the collection, and its strongest point is building the atmosphere of fear, which is underlined by excellent voices and music.
