One of TIME Magazine''s Most Anticipated Books of 2025 . One of LitHub''s Most Anticipated Books of 2025.''Acutely empathetic, thoroughly researched, funny, irreverent and moving'' Observer''What a book! Has the lyricism and intelligence of a literary masterpiece, and the urgency of a thriller'' Marianne Levy, author of Don''t Forget to Scream''So interesting, astute and beautifully crafted. I loved it'' Lucy Jones, author of MatrescenceIn the summer of 2020, when Amanda Hess was pregnant for the first time, a routine ultrasound screening detected a mysterious abnormality in her baby. Without hesitation, she reached for her phone, looking for answers online. But rather than allaying her anxieties, her search unleashed a destabilizing onslaught of data and technology, and she was vulnerable - more than ever - to conspiracy, myth, judgement, commerce and obsession. In Second Life, Hess tells her deeply personal story of a pregnancy that falls outside the fêted category of ''normal''. But this is also a story about all of us. For as she made her way through a bizarre digital world of pregnancy apps, prenatal genetic tests, gender reveal videos, rare disease Facebook groups, ''freebirth'' influencers and hospital reality shows, Hess realised that ideas of eugenics, surveillance, ableism and hyper-individualism are being sold through shiny technologies to a new generation of parents.At once funny, surreal and heartbreaking, Second Life asks compelling questions about how our most fundamental human experiences are fractured and reshaped by technology.

REVISED AND UPDATED WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION ‘Brave and unflinching in setting out the reality of the hell towards which we’re headed, but even more urgent, passionate and compelling about the grounds for hope if we change course fast enough, Hope in Hell is a powerful call to arms from one of Britain’s most eloquent and trusted campaigners.’ -- Caroline Lucas, MP'Is there time? Just. Is there hope? Plenty. Hope in Hell is brave, urgent and wise - in fact, one of the most important books any of us may read.' -- John Vidal Climate change is the defining issue of our time. We know, beyond reasonable doubt, what the science now tells us. Just as climate change is accelerating, so too must we – summoning up a greater sense of urgency, courage and shared endeavour than humankind has ever seen before. And we don’t get to defer this endeavour even as we struggle to bring the continuing pandemic under control. Indeed, it’s crucial that we use this moment to promote economic recovery in a way that simultaneously addresses the Climate Emergency. Fortunately, more and more people around the world now realise this is going to be a massive challenge for the rest of their lives. In Hope in Hell, Porritt confronts that dilemma head on. He believes we still have time to do what needs to be done, but only if we move now – and move together. In this ultimately upbeat book, he explores all these reasons to be hopeful: new technology; the power of innovation; the mobilisation of young people – and a sense of intergenerational solidarity as older generations come to understand their own obligation to secure a safer world for their children and grandchildren.

Discover how divine signs, unexpected hope, and heartfelt truth can guide you through grief and transform loss into purpose in Hope All the Way.Hope is always there, waiting for you. —Theo Boyd When you hear that special song playing on the radio out of the blue . . . When you see that certain time on a clock . . . When you’re given a piece of jewelry from a new love who would have no way of knowing the significance of its color and shape . . . It is these moments, these surprises—these divine signs—that can house the pieces of hope that carry you through loss and into a life filled with purpose, love, and cherished memories. Hope All the Way is a soulful, stirring invitation to see life—and loss—through a different lens. In this compassionate and candid follow-up to My Grief Is Not Like Yours, Theo Boyd shares her personal story of moving through traumatic grief and into healing and hope. With unflinching honesty and gentle wisdom, she reveals how moments that may seem like mere coincidences—clocks stopping, lights going out, dreams unfolding—are actually divine whispers of love from above. While grief can feel as varied as a steak—raw, burnt, or well done—or as messy as eggs—scrambled, over easy, or made to order—hope is constant and sure. It’s always there when you’re ready for it. Whether you are walking through fresh grief or carrying a decades-old ache, this book reminds you that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means simply finding hope in unexpected places and learning to live, love, and believe again. Hope isn’t just a feeling. It’s a divine invitation to keep going—all the way.

How California’s counterculture of the 1960s to 1980s profoundly shaped—and was shaped by—West Coast artistsThe 1960s exert a special fascination in modern art. But most accounts miss the defining impact of the period’s youth culture, largely incubated in California, on artists who came of age in that decade. As their prime exemplar, Bruce Conner, reminisced, “I did everything that everybody did in 1967 in the Haight-Ashbury. . . . I would take peyote and walk out in the streets.” And he vividly channeled those experiences into his art, while making his mark on every facet of the psychedelic movement—from the mountains of Mexico with Timothy Leary to the rock ballrooms of San Francisco to the gilded excesses of the New Hollywood. In The Artist in the Counterculture, Thomas Crow tells the story of California art from the 1960s to the 1980s—some of the strongest being made anywhere at the time—and why it cannot be understood apart from the new possibilities of thinking and feeling unleashed by the rebels of the counterculture. Crow reevaluates Conner and other key figures—from Catholic activist Corita Kent to Black Panther Emory Douglas to ecological witness Bonnie Ora Sherk—as part of a generational cohort galvanized by resistance to war, racial oppression, and environmental degradation. Younger practitioners of performance and installation carried the mindset of rebellion into the 1970s and 1980s, as previously excluded artists of color moved to the forefront in Los Angeles. Mike Kelley, their contemporary, remained unwaveringly true to the late countercultural flowering he had witnessed at the dawn of his career. The result is a major new account of the counterculture’s enduring influence on modern art.

It is a journey that has taken her from Allerton Cemetery to the Courts of Appeal, from the depths of despair to meetings with Prime Ministers and royalty.With the final court cases coming to a conclusion in spring 2021, Jenni''s role as the longest-serving committee member of the Hillsborough Family Support Group is coming to an end - and she can finally give herself permission to grieve solely as a mother, rather than as a campaigner.

When we picture the first Advent, we see Mary and Joseph huddled by a manger. We picture Gabriel, magi, and shepherds tending their flocks. A shining star against a midnight sky. But this harmonized version has lifted the Advent story out of its context--those who experienced the first Advent had to travel through great darkness to reach the hope that shining star announced. Trusted scholar and community organizer Kelley Nikondeha takes us back, to where the landscape of Palestine is once again the geographic, socioeconomic, and political backdrop for the Advent story.Reading the Advent narratives of Luke and Matthew anew, in their original context, changes so much about how we see the true story of resistance, abusive rulers and systems of oppression, and God coming to earth. In Luke, Rome and Caesar loom, and young Mary''s strength and resolve shine brightly as we begin to truly understand what it meant for her to live in the tumultuous Galilee region. In Matthew, through Joseph''s point of view, we see the brutality of Herod''s rule and how the complexities of empire weighed heavily on the Holy Family. We bear witness to the economic hardship of Nazareth, Bethlehem, and the many villages in between--concerns about daily bread, crushing debt, land loss, and dispossession that ring a familiar echo to our modern ears. Throughout her explorations, Nikondeha features the stories of modern-day Palestinians, centering their voices to help us meet an Advent recognizable for today. This thought-provoking examination invites us into a season of discovery, one that is realistic and honest, and that still wonders at the goodness of God''s grace.This paperback edition includes questions for reflection and discussion as well as a new afterword from the author, which offers updates on the lives of those featured in the book and on the war in Gaza and the Middle East.

V roce 1920 vyšly pod titulem Klingsor poprvé tři povídky Hermanna Hesseho, pozdějšího nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu. Na první pohled se jeví dosti různorodé, a přece mají jedno společné: vztah k expresionismu. Povídka Klein a Wagner je patrně autorovým nejexpresionističtějším textem, rozdvojením hrdiny se do ní promítá Hesseho zkušenost s psychoanalýzou i nevole k měšťáckému světu. V Dětské duši reflektuje Hesse z pohledu dospělého zážitek z vlastního dětství. V povídce Klingsorovo poslední léto se bezesporu odrazila velká změna, která se udála v Hesseho životě: Jeho první žena Maria Bernoulli byla trvale hospitalizována pro schizofrenii, manželství se rozpadlo, Hesse byl propuštěn z oddělení péče o válečné zajatce, Německo ovládl zhoubný nacionalismus a Hesse přesídlil do slunné Montagnoly ve švýcarském kantonu Ticino, kde našel nejen nový domov, ale i novou lásku k malířce a zpěvačce Ruth Wengerové. Prostřednictvím hlavní postavy, osamělého malíře, Hesse zkoumá umělectví jako možnost a způsob existence. Klingsor vyděšený blížící se smrtí se snaží prožít zbývající čas co nejlépe a nejradostněji, cele se oddává umění, noci tráví u vína a v náručí žen. Povídka vrcholí Klingsorovým posledním uměleckým počinem, autoportrétem, který jako by byl zpodobněním mnoha tváří. Hernann Hesse (1877-1962) je nejvydávanějším německým autorem 20. století, mnohá jeho díla dosáhla milionových nákladů. Intenzita jeho působení se po 2. světové válce výrazně zvyšovala od 50. let nejprve v Koreji a v Japonsku, posléze v 60. a 70. letech obzvláště v USA. Pro mladou generaci se Hesse nechtěně stal jakýmsi guru, mladí z něho čerpali inspiraci pro svůj boj proti autoritám, pro odmítání utilitárnosti západní civilizace, přejímali jeho intenzivní vztah k přírodě, k východním filozofiím a náboženstvím atd. Hesse však v podstatě nikdy neopustil svou křesťanskožidovskou orientaci a dalšími vlivy ji pouze obohacoval.

Žádný německý autor 20. století nenadchl více čtenářů než Hermann Hesse. Jeho dílo je součástí světové literatury. Renomovaný novinář Heimo Schwilk napsal skvělý životopis básníka, který žil stejně intenzivně a rozporuplně jako hrdinové jeho románů. Kniha o propastech rozervané osobnosti, o krizích a triumfech, o lásce a jejím selhání. "Hermann Hesse zemřel 9. srpna 1962 ve věku 85 let. Zanechal dílo čítající bezmála 40 titulů vydávaných po celém světě v úctyhodných 125 miliónech exemplářů. Jen v zemích německé jazykové oblasti se prodalo téměř 25 miliónů jeho knih. Dosud byla publikována přibližně sedmina z jeho 35 000 dopisů. Hesseho recenze obsahují pět svazků, sekundární literatura k jeho životu a dílu plní celé regály. Od jeho smrti byly vydány nesčetné svazky s materiály k jeho tvorbě. Navzdory této široké bázi pramenů překvapuje základní tón utvářených soudů, který se v posledních desetiletích téměř nezměnil. Kdo se Hermannem Hessem zabývá, narazí záhy na celou řadu klišé, kterými se lidé pokouší vysvětlit iritující, ba přímo nesmírný úspěch tohoto autora. Hesse je podle těchto soudů básník mládeže a protestu, buřič proti jakékoli autoritě a zastánce maximálního individualismu. Jeho fenomenální úspěch v USA v období války ve Viet­namu se přičítá hluboce pacifistickému charakteru jeho humanis­mu inspirovaného Dálným východem. Masové rozšíření jeho knih v Japonsku, Číně a Koreji se vysvětluje jeho funkcí prostředníka mezi kulturami. V Německu je vnímán na jedné straně jako ostýchavý, schizoidní out­sider (Stepní vlk), na druhé straně jako osvícený kritik ,černé pedagogiky‘ (Pod koly). Pomáhají však taková klišé fenomén Hesse opravdu pochopit? Je jeho komplexní, fascinující dílo skutečně výrazem veskrze anarchistické povahy? Je načase ukázat, co je vlastně na Hermannu Hessem tak fascinující."

An insight into the life and mind of an icon of American art through the diaries of sculptor Eva Hesse. ‘I open my new book. What will you tell for the next year. To bring forth a new chapter of wisdom, hopes, joys fears. I shall be honest with myself; and therewith SUCCEED.’ These lines open Eva Hesse’s 1955 diary and lay out the task of her writing. In between weekly to-do lists and personal musings, Hesse used her diaries as a space to process her experience of the world and to reckon with what it means to be an artist. In this extensive collection of Hesse’s diaries, recorded from 1955 to 1970, readers are given an intimate glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary sculpture’s most prominent figures. Despite personal tragedies and the difficulties she faced as one of the few female artists in the male-dominated postminimalist movement, Hesse remained intrepid in both her life and craft. Composed of twisted ropes and delicate plastic among other unconventional materials, Hesse’s sculptures defy traditional notions of form; her deeply thoughtful practice as a sculptor and a painter are revealed at length in her writing.

A modernist work of profound wisdom that continues to enthral readers with its subtle blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Hermann Hesse''s Steppenwolf is revised by Walter Sorell from the original translation by Basil Creighton.At first sight Harry Haller seems a respectable, educated man. In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This blistering portrayal of a man who feels himself to be half-human and half-wolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the mood of a disaffected generation, and remains a haunting story of estrangement and redemption.Herman Hesse (1877 - 1962) suffered from depression and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang; a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse''s subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.If you enjoyed Steppenwolf, you might like Hesse''s Siddhartha, also available in Penguin Classics.''A savage indictment of bourgeois society ... the gripping and fascinating story of disease in a man''s soul''The New York Times
