Wry and exhilarating, Chutzpah is a fearless exploration of what is possible when one person simply refuses to choose between abandoning their roots and abandoning themselves. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 WINGATE PRIZE "Clear-sighted and courageous, with an extremely dry sense of humour" DAVID BADDIEL, author of Jews Don't Count "A gutting, brave story, written with exquisite candour." Dr. Sara Glass, author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat Yehudis Fletcher was six years old when she decided to find out if there was actually a G-d. One Sabbath evening, she dared to defy a fundamental rule. She didn't wash her hands before breaking bread. At the table, Yehudis braced herself for a terrible, biblical punishment: being swallowed by the ground or consumed by fire. But nothing happened. It was at this moment that she discovered a spark within that would grow to make her invincible. As the daughter of a rabbi raised in an Orthodox Jewish community, Yehudis struggled to conform to the strict expectations placed upon her and her siblings. Outspoken, curious and desperate to know more about G-d, she felt fenced in by arbitrary rules and questions left unanswered. As she grew older, these restrictions intensified and her questions for G-d hung heavier than ever. Repeatedly let down by those who were supposed to protect her and pushed on to a path that seemed to take her further away from who she really was, she began to yearn for a life where she could embrace all facets of herself. When Yehudis's sexuality came to blows with the expectations of her family and her community, the pressure to inhabit a binary position reached fever pitch. Confronted with either losing the faith she loved or losing herself, Yehudis made the most daring decision of all: she decided to stay. "Chutzpah is a brilliant and fascinating insight into an ultra-orthodox Jewish community." Harriet Wistrich, author of Sister in Law "Yehudis's resilience is truly inspirational." Ashley Blaker, author of Normal Schmormal

A memoir of faith, sexuality and daring to stay

Chutzpah

A harrowing, heart-rending first-hand account of the bombing of Nagasaki - and the acts of human kindness it left in its wake. On 9th August 1945, the Japanese city of Nagasaki is hit by an atomic bomb. Forty thousand people are killed instantly. Doctor Takashi Nagai is not one of them. Pulling himself, broken and bloodied, from the wreckage that was once the city's university hospital, Takashi bundles together a tattered group of survivors. Doctors, nurses, students, each with their own injuries and losses, their own bone-chilling fears for the future, they work tirelessly at the impossible task of aiding the countless wounded and easing the deaths of the dying. They remain determined to heal their fallen city, to find solace and hope among the rubble, even as a strange and growing sickness begins to claim them, one by one. Eyewitness to one of the most fatal events in human history, this is Takashi's record, written from his sickbed - a chilling historical document, and undeniable evidence of the capacity for human kindness. WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM RICHARD LLOYD PARRY 'A book that everyone should read' The Times

Aua!

During the pandemic, Marjorie Perloff, one of our foremost scholars of global literature, found her mind ineluctably drawn to the profound commentary on life and death in the wartime diaries of eminent philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Upon learning that these notebooks, which richly contextualise the early stages of his magnum opus, the Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus, had never before been published in English, the Viennese-born Perloff determinedly set about translating them. Beginning with the anxious summer of 1914, this historic, en-face edition presents the first-person recollections of a foot soldier in the Austrian Army, fresh from his days as a philosophy student at Cambridge, who must grapple with the hazing of his fellow soldiers, the stirrings of a forbidden sexuality, and the formation of an explosive analytical philosophy that seemed to draw meaning from his endless brushes with death. Much like Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief, Private Notebooks takes us on a personal journey to discovery as it augments our knowledge of Wittgenstein himself.

1914-1916

Private Notebooks

Expert analysis from a veteran Vatican watcher on who the new American Pope few expected really is - and what his legacy within the Catholic Church might become. When Robert Francis Prevost OSA appeared on the loggia of St. Peter's on 8th May 2025, he surprised the world. The first American pope is a quiet man few had heard of, following the legacy of one the most media savvy pontiffs in history. Yet with subtle gestures, Pope Leo has shown that he is a bridge-builder, a man willing to unite the factions in a deeply divided Church. In this comprehensive book which joins biography with critical examination of the state of the Church, veteran journalist Christopher R. Altieri explores Prevost's life and work, from his early years in Chicago to his ministry in Peru, and how he came to be chosen as leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. Altieri provides insight into the politics of the 2025 conclave, alongside Pope Leo's choice of papal name, and the major challenges and deep-rooted problems of the Church that he now must run - and all at a time when the world is asking big questions about what it means to be human in a complex ethical world of AI and global conflict. Through this Pope Leo emerges as a quiet man of true humility, with a track record as an efficient administrator and conciliatory figure, whose background in Canon Law might just offer him the skills needed to govern and reshape the modern Church.

From one of the world’s leading Buddhist scholars, a deeply researched and unprecedented portrait of the Buddha &nbsp; Like Jesus and Muhammad, the Buddha is one of the most significant figures in history. But is he a historical figure? In this revelatory book, Donald S. Lopez Jr. explores this question and considers what is at stake in the answer. Using stories of the Buddha’s life—drawn from the earliest biographies, the work of other scholars, and his own research—Lopez traces a single narrative from the Buddha’s birth to his enlightenment to his passage into nirvana. &nbsp; Unlike those who transformed the Buddha into a rationalist philosopher, Lopez seeks to “remythologize” the Buddha, restoring the rainbow that encircled the Buddha for centuries, radiating his teachings around the world. Complementing traditional Buddhist sources with insights from Gustave Flaubert, Oscar Wilde, George Eliot, and others, Lopez produces a rich, accessible, and unprecedented portrait of one of the world’s most important religious figures.

A bold exploration of the life and work of one of the world's most influential - and controversial - thinkers, which brings Arendt's ideas into urgent dialogue with our troubled present. 'A rare gem' SHAMI CHAKRABARTI 'An absorbing new biography... Admirable' ECONOMIST 'Invigorating and insightful' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Exhilarating, brilliant and utterly original' PHILIPPE SANDS Hannah Arendt wrote about power and terror, exile and love, and above all about freedom. In place of the forces of darkness and tyranny, she pitched a politics of plurality, spontaneity and defiance. Loving the world, Arendt taught, meant finding the courage to protect it. Written with passion and authority, We Are Free to Change the World calls on each of us to think our way, as Arendt did - unflinchingly, lovingly, and defiantly - through our own unpredictable times.

Ancient Lives

The tragic life of Julian, the last non-Christian emperor of Rome, by award-winning author Philip Freeman &nbsp; “When we think of ancient Rome, it’s impossible not to think of Christianity, one of its most notable exports—but what if it hadn’t been? This is the question provoked by classicist Philip Freeman in&nbsp;Julian, an appealing new entry in Yale’s Ancient Lives series, which tells the story of the old faith’s last imperial torchbearer.”—Anna Heyward, New York Times Book Review &nbsp; Flavius Claudius Julianus, or Julian the Apostate, ruled Rome as sole emperor for just a year and a half, from 361 to 363, but during that time he turned the world upside down. Although a nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire. &nbsp; As emperor, Julian (331–363) set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies and the corrupting influence of Christianity. Christian writers and historians have seen Julian much differently: as a traitor to God and violent oppressor of Christians. Had Julian not been killed by a random Persian spear, he might well have changed all of history.

When I make a film, people always say, 'So now you've finished the film, you're done with it.' And I always tell them, 'No, not really.' 'Do you ever watch your films again?' people ask me. No. I made them. I'm still making them. Martin Scorsese, in conversation with Father Antonio Spadaro, reflects on his lifelong relationship with faith, from his upbringing on the mean streets of Little Italy to filming Killers of the Flower Moon in Osage County, Oklahoma. Over a series of conversations from 2016 to 2023, Scorsese discusses grace and violence in his films, his fears and inspirations, his childhood and the path, via a seminary, that has led to his status now as one of the most important directors in the world.

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books I am not a man, I am dynamite Weeks before his final mental breakdown, Nietzsche set out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo is the result. A summary of his life's work as a philosopher, with chapter headings including 'Why I Am So Wise' and 'Why I Write Such Good Books', it is part mocking self-judgement and part battle cry, and remains one of the most singular, strange examples of the genre ever written.
