"These are pages that one reads with almost physical pain. . .all the way to its stoic conclusion." —Primo Levi "The testimony of a profoundly serious man. . . . In its every turn and crease, it bears the marks of the true." —Irving Howe, New Republic "This remarkable memoir. . .is the autobiography of an extraordinarily acute conscience. With the ear of a poet and the eye of a novelist, Amery vividly communicates the wonder of a philosopher—a wonder here aroused by the 'dark riddle' of the Nazi regime and its systematic sadism." —Jim Miller, Newsweek "Whoever has succumbed to torture can no longer feel at home in the world. The shame of destruction cannot be erased. Trust in the world, which already collapsed in part at the first blow, but in the end, under torture, fully, will not be regained. That one's fellow man was experienced as the antiman remains in the tortured person as accumulated horror. It blocks the view into a world in which the principle of hope rules. One who was martyred is a defenseless prisoner of fear. It is fear that henceforth reigns over him." —Jean Amery At the Mind's Limits is the story of one man's incredible struggle to understand the reality of horror. In five autobiographical essays, Amery describes his survival—mental, moral, and physical—through the enormity of the Holocaust. Above all, this masterful record of introspection tells of a young Viennese intellectual's fervent vision of human nature and the betrayal of that vision.

''HUGELY ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE'' EVENING STANDARD''A FEAST OF ANECDOTAGE'' SUNDAY TIMES Throughout the twentieth century, the seaside service posters of Britain''s railways promised fresh air and frivolity to millions of urban dwellers with the phrase: ''To the sea by train''. A staple of modern British life, the seaside getaway was intertwined with the train, in whose compartments holidaymakers were shunted from smog-choked cities to sandy coves.With his signature wit and anecdotal style, Andrew Martin captures an era defined by its railways: from the development of Brighton and Scarborough into pleasure resorts, and the introduction of bank holidays and two-day weekends, to the advent of cheap flights and the British coast''s subsequent decline. Humorous and evocative, To the Sea by Train takes a charming tour through Britain''s most beloved pastime.

Japanese fairy tales - enchanting, enigmatic stories of animals, human beings and the great natural world. Dark and innocent, sublime and whimsical, Miyazawa''s stories have the ageless feel of the best fairy tales. There are animal allegories such as ''The Ungrateful Rat'' where a rude rodent insults all the objects he meets - until he meets the Rat Trap. There are morality tales such as ''The Restaurant of Many Orders'', where two hunters become the hunted. There are also transcendent stories of childhood and mortality like Miyazawa''s best-known ''Night Train to the Stars'', where a magical steam train carries children through the night and up to the heavens.These stories reveal the unique brilliance of one of Japan''s most beloved early twentieth-century writers.WITH A FOREWORD BY DAVID MITCHELL AND AN INTRODUCTION BY KAORI NAGAI''Kenji Miyazawa fables are international-class'' David Mitchell''For readers who relish the disturbing material of fairy tale, the specificity and surprise of tanka, collisions of the everyday with the supernatural and glimpses of Japan right on the brink of industrialization, Kenji Miyazawa''s masterly stories will be a delight'' New York Times''Few works have given me so much pleasure (and hard work) as the tales of Miyazawa Kenji [...] more genuine originality, and a more universal appeal, than almost anything else I have done.''

Bringing the collaborative process to life through an array of examples, Heather Witcher shows that sympathetic co-creation is far more than the mere act of writing together. While foregrounding the material aspects of collaboration – hands uniting on the page, blank space left for fellow contributors, the writing and exchanging of drafts – this study also illuminates its social aspects and its reliance on Victorian liberalism: dialogue, the circulation of correspondence, the lived experience of collaboration, and, on a less material plane, transhistorical collaborations with figures of the past. Witcher takes a broad approach to these partnerships and, in doing so, challenges traditional expectations surrounding the nature of authorship itself, not least its typical classification as a solitary activity. Within this new framework, collaboration enables the titles of ''coauthor,'' ''influencer,'' ''editor,'' ''critic,'' and ''inspiration'' to coexist. This book celebrates the plurality of collaboration and underscores the truly social nature of nineteenth-century writing.
