This beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles showcases the diversity of our plant and animal life.Wild Isles is a celebration of the wildlife found on a relatively modest collection of islands positioned at a latitude so northerly to be unattractive to many animals and plants. Despite these unpromising foundations, the islands of Britain and Ireland, together with more than 6,000 lesser islets that make up our archipelago, contain some of the most diverse, beautiful and wildlife-rich landscapes and seas on our planet.This book will explore the fascinating relationships within and between species who make their home on our beautiful isles.Each chapter focuses on a particular kind of wild space. Britain and Ireland are dominated by a wide variety of grasslands from lowland water meadows to upland moors, and we will see how these human-shaped, semi-natural landscapes thrum with insect, bird and mammal life. Life requires water to flourish, and streams and rivers carry freshwater through our landscape, creating unique ecosystems and interrelations within and beside these waters, which are revealed in a third section. While Britain and Ireland’s woodlands are comparatively thin on the ground compared with most of continental Europe, we will see some of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

BEST BOOK OF 2023 ACCORDING TO THE NEWSTATESMAN AND OBSERVER''The Swimmer is a wonderful, original achievement; teeming with stories, glittering with images, and experimental in form and tone'' Robert MacfarlaneRoger Deakin, author of the immortal Waterlog, was a man of many parts: maverick ad-man, cider-maker, teacher, environmentalist, music promoter and filmmaker. But, above all, he was the restorer of ancient Walnut Tree Farm in Suffolk, the heartland where he wrote about all natural life – with rare attention, intimacy, precision and poetry.Roger Deakin was unique, and so too is this joyful work of creative biography, told primarily in the words of the subject himself, with support from a chorus of friends, family, colleagues and lovers. Delving deep into Deakin’s library of words, Patrick Barkham draws from notebooks, diaries, letters and recordings to conjure his voice back to glorious life in these pages.''A rich, strange and compelling work of creative memoir that beautifully honours and elevates the life and work of its subject'' Alex Preston, Observer

From the bestselling author and rewilding pioneer Isabella Tree, When We Went Wild is a heartwarming, sustainably printed picture book about the benefits of letting nature take the lead, inspired by real-life rewilding projects. Nancy and Jake are farmers. They raise their cows and pigs, and grow their crops. They use a lot of big machines to help them, and spray a lot of chemicals to get rid of the weeds and the pests. That’s what all good farmers do, isn’t it? And yet, there is no wildlife living on their farm. The animals look sad. Even the trees look sad! One day, Nancy has an idea... what if they stopped using all the machines, and all the chemicals, and instead they went wild? The author’s own experience of rewilding her estate at Knepp has influenced conservation techniques around the world that are bringing nature back to the countryside and bringing threatened species back from the brink.

The Patrick Melrose Novels hilariously dissect the English upper class, conjuring a world of decadence, amorality, greed, snobbery, and cruelty, but never without the possibility of grace. Taken together, they are one of the most thrilling reading experiences in contemporary fiction. Edward St. Aubyn chronicled the life of Patrick Melrose across five short novels, painting an acrid portrait of a beleaguered and self-loathing world of privilege. Never Mind unfolds over a day and an evening at the family’s chateau in the south of France, where the sadistic and terrifying figure of David Melrose dominates the lives of his rich and unhappy American wife, Eleanor, and their five-year-old son, Patrick. Bad News opens as Patrick, now twenty-two years old, sets off to collect his father’s ashes from New York, where he will spend a drug-crazed twenty-four hours.Back in England, Some Hope offers Patrick the possibility of recovery (and the most debauched and riotous dinner party in contemporary fiction).

Fanoušci seriálu Jak jsem poznal vaši matku a Barneyho Stinsona jistě tuší či vědí, že Neil Patrick Harris nemůže být nudný člověk, jaký by napsal tradiční či suchý životopis. Název jeho biografi e odkazuje k tzv. gamebookům: čtenář se sám stává hlavní postavou knihy, tedy Neilem Patrickem Harrisem, a může se na konci každé kapitoly rozhodnout podle nabízených možností, kde bude ve čtení/životní dráze NPH pokračovat. Vydává se tedy z malého amerického města do světa televize, fi lmu, broadwayského muzikálu; učí se magii; získává první erotické zkušenosti; objevuje sám sebe a svou sexuální orientaci; žení se a má děti; dosahuje úspěchů u kritiky i diváků. Harris ve své knize nejen rekapituluje svou úspěšnou hereckou dráhu, nemlčí ani o svých neúspěších, a neváhá odkrýt své soukromí, pokud tím může povzbudit lidi, kteří jen obtížně hledali sami sebe nebo se museli vyrovnávat s předsudky okolí. Herce narozeného v roce 1973 zná celý svět především jako Barneyho ze seriálu Jak jsem poznal vaši matku.

Chlapce však neděsí, protože nic nemůže být horší, než noční můry, které ho v poslední době pronásledují. Než realita, ve které žije. Než fakt, že jeho máma je vážně nemocná, táta kdesi za mořem s novou rodinou a na něj zbyla jenom upjatá babička, s níž si nerozumí. Když se teď rozhádal se svou nejlepší kamarádkou, nezbyl nikdo, komu by mohl říct, že se mu ve škole spolužáci buď vyhýbají pohledem, nebo ho šikanují. Proč by se měl bát tajuplného přízraku z dávných časů, ukrývajícího se v podobě starého stromu za domem, který tvrdí, že ho sám zavolal? Přichází proto, aby Conorovi vyprávěl tři příběhy.

Patrick Roth vypráví neuvěřitelný příběh Josefa z Nazaretu jako zoufajícího si člověka, líčí jeho hlubokou víru a neposlušnost vůči Bohu. Román zároveň pátrá po možnosti nového počátku. Jeruzalém v roce 70 po Kristu: hrozí, že římské oddíly zboří ochranné hradby. Obléhání Svatého města je výchozím bodem románu plného silných obrazů, jehož oblouk vyprávění se klene až k okamžiku Ježíšova narození. Ve středu událostí stojí Josef, Mariin muž, o němž evangelia vyprávějí, že naslouchal snům, když k sobě přijal ženu a dítě. Patrick Roth mu přisuzuje osud plný napětí, drama mezi člověkem a božskostí jako neuchopitelnou mocí. Třináct let po Ježíšově zrození vyžaduje Bůh od Josefa nejvyšší oběť. „Kde je tu spravedlnost, abych porozuměl?“ žaluje Josef tváří v tvář neopodstatněné Boží vůli. Dokáže tuto oběť přinést? V rafinovaně do sebe propletených pasážích mezi snem a realitou proniká román do prostoru prožitků, v němž se bortí zdánlivé jistoty. Rothovo vypravěčské umění vychází z existenciální zkušenosti a svědčí o výjimečné síle autorova jazyka, který je ve svém přiblížení výrazovému rytmu Bible sám estetickým zážitkem. Od současné tvorby se způsob Rothova vyprávění odlišuje především v tom, že připouští transcendenci, a ve své radikální vážnosti je ojedinělým zjevem v německy psané literatuře.

Vítěz ceny Magnesia Litera 2020 – překlad. Svazek Patrick Melrose I přináší první tři romány z pětidílného, částečně autobiografického cyklu románů o Patricku Melroseovi z let 1992–2011, v němž se vypravěč vyrovnává s tím, že se stal „hračkou v sadomasochistických hrátkách svých rodičů“. Všechny tři knihy – nazvané Na tom nesejde, Špatná zpráva a Trocha naděje – se odehrávají během jednoho dne a autor nám v nich prostřednictvím mistrných črt nabízí pohled nejen do prostředí britské společenské smetánky, ale i do odvykacích center a newyorské drogové scény. Vypravěč je uchvácen svým démonickým otcem – ten na něm v prvním díle ukájí své sadistické choutky, v druhém díle je přítomen již jen jako stín (už dospělý Patrick cestuje do New Yorku vyzvednout jeho ostatky) a v díle třetím vystupuje jako vzpomínka, na niž nejde zapomenout, ale ani se s ní usmířit. „Hamlet na heroinu“, „makabrózní groteska hnaná sebedestruktivní touhou“ – i tak označovala ostrovní kritika St Aubynovo dílo. Jeho románový cyklus ale zdaleka není jen zádumčivý román o traumatu; je to dílo čtivé, neobyčejně vtipné, ve své společenské kritice přesné a sžíravé. Ve své románové pentalogii o Patricku Melroseovi Edward St Aubyn dokazuje, že je skutečným následovníkem Evelyna Waugha a Oscara ... Unknown localization key: "more"
