THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING, LIFE-CHANGING PHENOMENON â “ SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows RAYNOR WINN My favourite book of the last five years CAITLIN MORANWintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life.A moving personal narrative interwoven with lessons from literature, mythology and the natural world, May s story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas.Ultimately, Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season. Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself ELIZABETH GILBERT Absolutely beautiful CHERYL STRAYEDNumber 1 Sunday Times bestseller, November 2024

From the bestselling author of Wintering, Katherine May, The Electricity of Every Living Thing is a life-affirming and poignant exploration of nature, and how reconnecting to wild landscapes can create peace in our unquiet minds. A windswept tale, beautifully told Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path A manifesto for the value of difficult people. I loved it Amy Liptrot, author of The OutrunIn August 2015, Katherine May set out to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path. She wanted to understand why she had stopped coping with everyday life; why motherhood had been so overwhelming and isolating, and why the world felt full of inundation and expectations she can t meet. Setting her feet down on the rugged and difficult path by the sea, the answer begins to unfold.The Electricity of Every Living Thing tells the story of the year in which Katherine comes to terms with a diagnosis which shakes her to her core. It leads to a re-evaluation of her life so far - a kinder one, which finally allows her to be different rather than simply awkward, arrogant or unfeeling. The physical and psychological journeys become inextricably entwined, and as Katherine finds her way across the untameable coast, she also finds the way to herself.What readers are saying about The Electricity of Every Living Thing: Honest and sensitive The astonishing sensitivity and awareness in her writing, both about the beautiful landscapes and nature around on her walks, and in relation to her family, friends and self put paid to many outdated myths about what it is like to be autistic Compelling and transformative. I could not put this book down so I stayed in bed and read it in one go. Katherine has a fantastic way with words, I could read her books for hours on end, they are calming and relatable. Read it - you won t regret it.

“Captivating, informative, and inspiring…Easy to follow and hard to put down.” School Library Journal (starred review) Inspiring autobiography of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, who helped launch Apollo 11. As a young girl, Katherine Johnson showed an exceptional aptitude for math. In school she quickly skipped ahead several grades and was soon studying complex equations with the support of a professor who saw great promise in her. But ability and opportunity did not always go hand in hand. As an African American and a girl growing up in an era of brutal racism and sexism, Katherine faced daily challenges. Still, she lived her life with her father’s words in mind: “You are no better than anyone else, and nobody else is better than you.” In the early 1950s, Katherine was thrilled to join the organization that would become NASA. She worked on many of NASA’s biggest projects including the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon. Katherine Johnson’s story was made famous in the bestselling book and Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. Now in Reaching for the Moon she tells her own story for the first time, in a lively autobiography that will inspire young readers everywhere.

A co je tedy nejlepší dělat, když pohádka končí?I když se snažíme rozejít civilizovaně a přátelsky, málokdy se podaří překonat biologické nastavení mozku, který ukončení vztahu vnímá jako ohrožení života a vysílá nám signál k boji. Navzdory tomu se terapeutka Katherine Woodward Thomasová a její manžel zvládli rozvést ohleduplně a s respektem a zachovali si vzájemné přátelství. Na základě této osobní zkušenosti a dlouholeté práce s klienty pak Katherine vypracovala metodu vědomého rozchodu.

** Longlisted for The Center for Fiction #39;s best debut novel of 2019 ** With the hypnotic intensity of Emily Fridlund’s The History of Wolves and Fiona McFarlane’s The Night Guest, Katherine Forbes Riley has created a mesmerizing love story, in lush, gorgeous prose, that examines art, science, and the magic of human chemistry. Teeming with lush imagery and mystical settings, and brimming with alluring magical realism, Riley’s tale is a beguiling journey of discovery and recovery.” — BooklistHaunting and lyrical, The Bobcat is Katherine Forbes Riley’s magical debut novel in which Laurelie, a young art student who suffers in the aftermath of a sexual assault, has grown progressively more isolated and fearful. She transfers from her busy city university to a small college in rural Vermont, where she retreats into her vivid imagination, experiencing the world through her art. Most comfortable in the company of the child for whom she babysits, and most at ease in the woods, Laurelie has shunned any connection with her peers.One day, while exploring the woods, she and her young charge encounter an injured pregnant bobcat – and the hiker who has been following it for hundreds of miles. In the hiker and his feline companion Laurelie recognizes someone as reclusive and wary as herself. The hiker, too, finds human companionship painful to endure, yet he is drawn to wounded Laurelie the way he is drawn to the bobcat.

Back in the 1960s a little girl of nine who was deeply in love with Narnia wrote a book of short stories. Written in spiky blue ink with various crossings-out and spelling mistakes, Katherine Langrishâ ™s Tales of Narnia filled an old hard-cover notebook from front to back. Some of the stories were illustrated with dramatic, poster-painted scenes, and Katherine drew a map of Narnia on the inside back cover.Now a celebrated adult writer of childrenâ ™s and young adultâ ™s literature, Langrish has revisited C. S. Lewisâ ™s Seven Chronicles of Narnia to explore what they mean to her today. In From Spare Oom to War Drobe she analyses what once enchanted her and asks whether it still has the power to do so. Hand in hand with her nine year-old self, she traces many paths through Lewisâ ™s thick forest of allusions not only to Christianity, but to Plato, fairy tales, myths, legends, medieval romances, renaissance poetry and indeed to other childrenâ ™s books.Here are two very different ways of reading the Narnia stories: the adult, informed, rational way and the passionate childish way. For whenever children fall in love with a book they love it fiercely, loyally, completely; and as anyone itâ ™s ever happened to will know, it can be a transformative experience.The Foreword has been written by award-winning writer and broadcaster Brian Sibley, who dramatised the BBC radio adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia.

First published in 1991, BOUNDARIES introduced readers to the important psychological need for creating literal and figurative limits turning author Anne Katherine s book into an instant bestseller. Some boundaries are obvious , such as the actual space surrounding an individual. Being shoved, kissed or touched suggestively are all ways in which a boundary can be crossed. Other boundaries, emotional boundaries, are harder to see, but they are just as important to our well-being. Katherine explains how setting clear boundaries can bring order to your life of chaos, strengthen relationships, and enhance both mental and physical health. With real-life stories illustrating the repercussions of not setting limits, and the benfits of protecting personal boundaries and respecting those of others, this edition is useful for anyone who s been violated, victimised, or belittled by friends, parents, partners, bosses, or colleagues.

Zima mě zadusila, rozervala na kusy. A v té bílé tmě jsem spatřila možnost znovu se poskládat. Někdy náš život ztratí směr. Náhlá nemoc, úmrtí milované osoby, rozchod, ztráta zaměstnání nebo jiná nepředvídatelná událost způsobí, že se náš svět obrátí vzhůru nohama. Většinu z nás pak čeká často dlouhé, osamělé období, během kterého se vyrovnáváme se ztrátami, prožíváme bolest a jen pomalu se odrážíme ode dna. Katherine Mayová tato těžká období nazývá zimováním — její vlastní zimování odstartovaly zdravotní problémy, manželova nemoc a synovy obtíže ve škole. Kniha je osobním vyprávěním o transformační síle odpočinku, protkaným poučeními z mytologie i přírody. Autorka nás vyzývá, abychom změnili svůj vztah k obdobím útlumu — i vlastní smutek lze přijímat aktivně a úlevu nám může přinášet nejen hluboké ústraní, ale také chápání života jako cyklického střídání, nikoli lineárního běhu.

Audiokniha: Nelze si vybrat, kdy budeme zimovat, ale je jen na nás, jak k přerodu přistoupíme… I ona si jako kdekdo namlouvala, že má věci pod palcem, jenže osud si nevybírá. Stačilo akutní ohrožení manželova života, její vážná choroba, synova fobie ze školy – a rázem se propadla na dno deprese. V úsilí vymanit se z bludného kruhu útrap se inspirovala přírodou a zkusila „zimovat“. Utlumila své potřeby až na dřeň a ve zbystřeném rozpoložení přemýšlí o významu krizí. Ví, že „studený odchov“ rodné Británie i tamní všudypřítomné „obavy z trapnosti“ ji na zdrcující situaci připravily prachbídně, a proto houževnatě posiluje tělo i ducha pobytem na norském slunci, teplotními šoky ve finské sauně či pobytem v islandské termální lázni. Pátrá po hlubším smyslu smutku nehledě na přehmaty, jen aby zase poskládala střípky sebe sama. A líp. Úvahy Katherine Mayové – vřele přijaté v Evropě i v zámoří – jsou vzdálené okázalým mantrám motivačních citátů. Její utužovací meditace léčí svépomocí v čase, jenž zle poznamenal skoro každého. Ale ani tahle krize nepotrvá věčně, nastane obleva a člověk vyjde obrozen: do dalšího životního cyklu léta a zimy, zisků a ztrát, se kterými však už napříště počítá. „Myšlenky hřejivé jako kožich. Díky nim je těžce zkoušená duše na osudový chlad připravena a může vnímat krásy zimy, děj se co děj.“ – The Guardian. „Překrásné… a překrásně pronikavé. Mayová sází na empatii, smíření a vědomí perspektivy, která nám poskytne oporu ještě dlouho po skličující pandemii.“ – The New York Times. „Nejtěžší je opanovat sám sebe, a přitom je to tak blizoučko. (…) S autorkou podnikáme ušlechtilou výpravu do přírody, která nitro citlivého jedince utěší a dodá mu vzpruhu.“ – Sunday Express. „Přišla moje zima. Jste odříznutí od světa, cítíte se odstrčení, mimo dění, vržení do role štvance nebo neschopní hnout se z místa. A v té bílé tmě jsem spatřila možnost poskládat se znovu. Trochu kajícně jsem začala budovat nového člověka, který byl někdy hrubý a ne vždy udělal správnou věc, jehož velké hloupé srdce snad neustále bolelo, ale který si zároveň zasloužil tu být, protože nyní měl světu co dát.“ – ukázka z knihy.
