The Waves - Virginia Woolfová

''I, who would wish to feel close over me the protective waves of the ordinary, catch with the tail of my eye some far horizon.''Intensely visionary yet absorbed with the everyday; experimental, daring and challenging, The Waves is regarded by many as Virginia Woolf''s greatest achievement. It follows a set of six friends from childhood to middle age as they experience the world around them and explore who they are and what it means to be alive. As the contours of their lives are revealed, a unique novel is slowly unveiled. Enfolded within Woolf''s lyrical and mysterious language, the mundane takes on a startling new significance while distant pasts are no less in play than the clamorous sounds and kaleidoscopic sights of the modern city. Yet precisely where the alluringly enigmatic pages of The Waves are leading, and what deeper meanings are held within its undulant chapters and shimmering interludes, are questions that have never ceased to enthral readers and critics alike.In this new edition David Bradshaw considers the spellbinding oddness and originality of The Waves, helping the reader to negotiate a way though this most poetic and haunting of novels.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics ...

The Mountain - Robin Patten

Exploring the complex kinship between mountains and human thought, traditions, and ways of being Since antiquity, mountains have captured the human imagination. The Mountain takes readers into higher realms, exploring the complex kinship between mountains and human thought, traditions, and ways of being. Told through the author’s own journeys, the narrative ranges across cultures and iconic naturalists to consider how varied ideas and experiences related to mountains—from sacred to scientific, romantic to retreat, to simply home—are all facets of the same intricate topography. No matter where one starts on the spectrum of understanding, an intimate encounter with a mountain leads to a broader perspective. High places create a simultaneous humbleness at our human insignificance and a sense of belonging within the greater world. That quality of belonging, and the associated commitment of caring for the planet and all that it holds, has never been more important than it is today.

The Mountain Shadow - Gregory David Roberts

The first glimpse of the sea on Marine Drive filled my heart, if not my head. I turned away from the red shadow. I stopped thinking of that pyramid of killers, and Sanjay''s improvidence. I stopped thinking about my own part in the madness.

Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he''d learned ...

1999: Manchester United, the Treble and All That - Matt Dickinson

In 1999, Manchester United completed a unique Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - but more remarkable than that was how they did it, and the stories behind the historic achievement. Matt Dickinson covered the whole story at the time, and now in 99 compelling chapters brings it all vividly to life. When the season began, Manchester United were up for sale, the club's iconic talisman Eric Cantona had gone, rivals Arsenal were the reigning Double winners, David Beckham was a national hate figure after being sent off during the World Cup, and even manager Alex Ferguson's position was being questioned. Early signs weren't promising, despite record spending to bring in new stars, among them Jaap Stam and Dwight Yorke, but soon things began to change. Driven by the indomitable will of skipper Roy Keane, supported by a nucleus from the Class of 92 - Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, the Nevilles and Paul Scholes - who had grown up at the club, they went on a long unbeaten and unbeatable run, featuring some of the most dramatic games in English football history. Acclaimed football writer Matt Dickinson goes behind the scenes of the legendary Manchester ... Unknown localization key: "more"
