Maria Sonia Cristoff: False Calm / B

False Calm

A Journey Through the Ghost Towns of Patagonia

A classic adventure narrative in the vein of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Robert Louis Stevenson... life-changing' CAL FLYN, author of Islands of Abandonment In his mid-twenties, city-bound and restless, Louis D. Hall found himself uncertain. How to create a life he wanted to lead? Inspired by Don Quixote, he decided to fulfil a childhood dream - to make an uncharted journey on horseback. After finding his horse, Sasha, in Italy's Apennine Mountains, Louis set off and headed west. His destination: Cape Finisterre, ?the end of the land'. For three weeks Louis and Sasha survived storms, snow, wolves and the untrodden partisan paths of the Ligurian Alps. But then a young woman arrived with her horse, Istia, and their solitary world was broken. Kiki, adrift with the death of her sibling, joined the journey, and the duo continued together. With every step and every fall, the pair are forced to unfold and trust in their horses and, eventually, each other. Using old and forgotten routes, guided by strangers and nature's clues, the travellers unravel into a wilder way of life; united by the mysteries of the horse, enticed by the illusions of adventure.

Two Horses, Two Strangers, a Journey to the End of Land

From YouTube adventurer and National Geographic TV host, an inspiring travel memoir of one woman's solo adventures around the world and her pursuit of freedom. The Wilder Way (hardcover) is a bestseller in the Week of June 15 2026, via The Publishers Weekly - the leading trade magazine for the publishing industry. "A joy of recognition to many places around the world. A deeply personal insight in Eva as a person and her search... to find herself." Noraly Schoenmaker, bestselling author of Free Ride "Eva's story is one of pure grit, guiding us through an exploration of the space between being alone and being lonely, two things that are often - mistakenly - seen as one and the same." Brianna Madia, New York Times bestselling author of Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind "Raw, disarmingly honest and beautifully told" Lucy Shepherd author of Into the Wild "Fans of powerful travel memoirs like Robyn Davidson's Tracks and Cheryl Strayed's Wild will find much to love in this compelling story of a woman rediscovering her spark by striking a different flint." Booklist Eva had it all: a high-flying job, a picture-perfect marriage, a lifestyle that many would aspire to. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that she is living someone else's dream. After hitting rock bottom, she bought a one-way ticket to Nepal and left her old life behind in search of her true path in life. Over the next few years, Eva travelled solo to some of the world's most far-flung places - A lone horse trek in Mongolia, COVID lockdown on a desert island in Yemen and overlanding across the US in an 18-year-old truck with her beloved dog, Vilk. Along the way, she grew an engaged online community and transformed from someone living society's idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own. But the shift from a rooted life to a transient one was far from straightforward and Eva grappled with the tension between her wanderlust and a longing for somewhere to call home. This book is the incredible, world-expanding memoir of Eva journeying through the world on her own terms - and an inspiring example of what awaits when you take the wilder path. "In a world that seems intent on locking us in gilded cages and behind screens, I want The Wilder Way to stand as an ode to freedom, a call to blaze your very own trail and a blueprint for an adventurous life."

How has fashion become such an important signifier of French nationhood? How has fashion journalism been used to mediate political ideologies like fascism? These questions and more are answered in the first book to comprehensively explore the interactions between fashion, the media, soft power, and nationhood. With a geographically diverse range of case studies and a unique focus on fashion journalism, Fashion and Power covers the origins of the relationship between fashion, cultural power, and national identity in 'courtly' societies, through the Cold War to the identities of emerging fashion nations such as China and Nigeria. Examining figures from 'La Jeune Fille Américaine' to First Ladies, Nelson Best argues how, in Susan Kaiser's words, 'representations of nation are built on the backs of women's bodies.' By exploring fashion journalism as a discourse of cultural power that shapes the identity of nations in different times and places, Fashion and Power reveals the contingency of these power relations and the possibility of their renegotiation. This accessible and highly engaging book is an invaluable resource not only for fashion studies students but also for those in media and cultural studies and anyone interested in fashion, identity, and power.

The Sunday Times No 1 bestseller, now updated with a reflection on Fiona's ongoing journey 'I hope this book can show people a little about what it is like to live with Alzheimer's. How frightening and confusing it is. But also how much life can still bring joy and be valued.' Much-loved broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty-one when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer's disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and now she was facing the same heart-breaking diagnosis - under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family. With courage and determination, Fiona set out to chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others. From the tiny first warning signs - the inability to concentrate and the 'brain fog' she wrote off as the menopause - to the gradual loss of her memories and her growing confusion, she reveals how the disease progresses and how she copes. She also shares her experiences with the NHS and the systems that may seem hard for patients and their families to navigate. Written with Fiona's trademark honesty, Remember When is a compelling and moving memoir as well as a book offering an important insight into life with a disease that will impact many of us. 'Fiona is one of the strongest, kindest and bravest women I know and her honesty and resilience shine through om every page' - Lorraine Kelly 'Fiona and her family are just incredible! The strength, the love, the way they've handled everything with such grace and courage is so inspiring' - Alison Hammond Remember When was a Sunday Times bestseller at no 1, as of 29/07/2025.

Remember When

'As much a history of the deeply crooked culture of Italian politics as it is a vivid biography of one man' SUNDAY TIMES 'Fascinating' SPECTATOR 'Vivid and disturbing but utterly compelling' DAILY MAIL Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of twentieth-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance. This is the story of one man who stood in opposition. In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily: 471 men and 4 women took the stand, accused of horrific crimes. Sitting in the gallery was Leonardo Sciascia. One of the greatest European writers of the twentieth century, he had published the first Mafia novel, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as a true moral figure in a country where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life. Sciascia had come of age as the Mafia grew to prominence across Sicily. Witnessing the scale of corruption and violence, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business. In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul. 'Magnificent and deeply affecting' PHILIP HENSHER 'Vivid and knowledgeable... This feels like the book [Moorehead] was destined to write' LUCY HUGHES-HALLETT

Acclaimed international correspondent Sally Hayden has spent her career covering some of the darkest moments of our time, and yet even in the face of unimaginable adversity, she's witnessed the love and care of everyday people.Hayden introduces us to a couple separated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a mother in northeast Nigeria who risks everything to save her daughter from forced marriage to Boko Haram militants. We meet a group of Syrian women searching tirelessly for their missing spouses and children, while launching a call for justice, and learn about letters from the bereaved to the dead, still being written over a decade after the tsunami that devastated Japan.In stories that crisscross the globe, from Uganda to Lebanon, Rwanda to Iraq, Hayden asks us: what if news was recounted through the actions people take for those they love? Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world.'Moving ...

Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that the popularity of typologies in France participated in the construction of a national ideal conceived as a sum of individual parts. Tholozany shows that types such as the dandy, flâneur, and grisette abounded in plot-riven literary genres and in journalistic sketches, signaling a fear of obsoleteness that continually evolving printing technologies cast on social thought, thereby inaugurating a new way of thinking about society.

Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that they played a role in the construction of a national ideal in France during the period. As Tholozany shows, types such as the dandy, flÃ¢neur (including the child flÃ¢neur), and  grisette abounded, both in plot-driven literary genres and in journalistic sketches. At the same time, in classifying and describing these types, writers such as Jules Janin and Honoré de Balzac in collaboration with graphic artists insisted on the impossibility of establishing a stable social taxonomy. This paradoxical gesture, Tholozany claims, has larger consequences, since the social type’s resistance to a stable classification ultimately points to the difficulty of defining national identity as the sum of its typological parts. Reminding us that character, type, and stereotype are all words borrowed from printing technologies, Tholozany suggests that the types in what Walter Benjamin called panoramic literature signal a fear of obsoleteness that continually evolving printing technologies cast on social thought, a response that inaugurated a new way of thinking about society.
