Farkic J: The Adventure Tourist

The Adventure Tourist

A powerful new anthology that redefines our understanding of existentialism and argues for its contemporary relevance.'Superb ... I can't imagine a better way of meeting the existentialists in all their variety' - Sarah Bakewell, author of At the Existentialist Café'Existentialist thought [...] is an effort to reconcile the objective and the subjective, the absolute and the relative, the timeless and the historical.' Simone de BeauvoirIn the aftermath of the Second World War, a group of intellectuals gathered to discuss urgent questions of existence, commitment, racism, colonialism, and feminism. Their ideas would continue to shape those debates throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.This major new anthology gathers the key texts of existentialism, and their major intellectual influences, along with other works previously neglected in overviews and anthologies of the movement. Incorporating the writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Frantz Fanon, alongside selections from Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Martin Heidegger, it significantly expands and redefines our understanding of what existentialism means, and why it matters.Edited with an Introduction by Jonathan Webber

The Penguin Book of Existentialist Philosophy

The epic and profound new historical novel set in post-World War Two Britain, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of BIRDSONG, Sebastian Faulks.'A fascinating, timely and densely pleasurable novel, written with measured and impressive intelligence and tremendous narrative aplomb' WILLIAM BOYD'Richly researched and deeply humane . . . Faulks has an extraordinary gift for showing how the sweep of history is lived through the quiet complexities of individual lives' HANNAH ROTHSCHILD'Beautifully written and deceptively deep novel of moral choice set in the aftermath of the Second World War. The characters are as utterly convincing as the story' ANTONY BEEVOR'An arresting book and important work of storytelling. A must-read.' AFUA HIRSCHPhilip Deval, a soldier recently returned from the beaches of Normandy, arrives in Palestine on a peace-keeping mission in the final days of the British Mandate. The Sea of Galilee glitters in the distance as war-weary troops marvel at the novelty of oranges and sun - a paradise that belies a fierce new conflict about to erupt.Some years later, Philip begins work teaching at a school in the English countryside and meets the enigmatic music mistress, Frances Darwood. Over long evenings spent listening to records in her music room, they grow close.But Philip is a changed man, and must confront the secrets and scars of all he has lived through - which threaten, even now, to upend his future.Farewell to Eden is a sweeping and profound novel about faith in all its forms, and a rich portrait of an embattled post-war Britain. It asks the question: how, after great suffering, do we retain our humanity, learn to love again, and believe in the promise of a better life?Reader reviews***** 'Faulks continues to be the most incredible storyteller. I demolished this book and kept thinking about it long after I finished.'***** 'It's not often that I finish a novel and think that I'd like to reread it immediately. This is one.'***** 'Beautifully written and a stimulating read from a wonderful author at the top of his game.'***** 'Heartbreaking, interesting, educational (you can always trust Faulks's research), shockingly surprising and such a great read.'***** 'Oh - how I loved this gentle but incredibly powerful book.'

Farewell to Eden

Who doesn't want a second chance at life?Read the original and moving literary gem for fans of Banana Yoshimoto and Kawaguchi's BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD, with stunning illustrated endpapers.What if you could come back after death to watch over your loved one, installing yourself in a treasured mug, for example, or perhaps your mother's hearing aid, a diary, or even a climbing frame, to feel the clambering limbs of a beloved sister?Eleven recently deceased protagonists find themselves floating in the afterlife where a nameless ghost offers them a joyous reunion with their loved ones.But not as you would expect.In a world where souls linger restlessly around after death, unwilling to depart, The Soul Catchers is a comforting, witty, and surprisingly sensual take on the Japanese folk belief that objects can be inhabited by human presences. Utterly charming, Higashi's classic is an original exploration of our eternal reluctance to let go.

The Will to Meaning contains three short lessons in logotherapy, the system of psychotherapy Frankl pioneered that transforms despair into hope. 'As logotherapy teaches, even the tragic and negative aspects of life, such as unavoidable suffering, can be turned into a human achievement by the attitude which a man adopts toward his predicament. In contrast to most of the existentialist schools of thought, logotherapy is in no way pessimistic; but it is realistic in that it faces the tragic triad of human existence: pain, death, and guilt. Logotherapy may justly be called optimistic, because it shows the patient how to transform despair into triumph.'

Finding Purpose in Life

The Will to Meaning

An urgent meditation on the nature of truth, by the legendary filmmaker and global cultural icon Werner Herzog'Herzog is in a category of one ... A complete original' MARINA HYDE'Herzog really is a kind of genius' SPECTATOR**A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025**What if a lie could be true?At the heart of this fascinating and iconoclastic book lies Werner Herzog's concept of 'ecstatic truth' - a truth that is often hidden behind the facts and our conceptions of reality but can be gleaned through the poetic imagination, in art, literature and cinema, when we open ourselves up to an aesthetic experience.Written in Herzog's inimitable style, these stories, anecdotes and reflections take us from present-day deep fakes and the opportunities and perils of AI to ancient Egypt and Rome, where rulers resorted to lies and propaganda in the same way as governments do today; from Scott and Amundsen's race to the South Pole to alien abduction claims and the making of Herzog's own films.With its singular vision and unique voice, The Future of Truth is a compelling meditation on the relationship between fact and fiction - evidence and imagination - by one of today's most fascinating and idiosyncratic thinkers.

The Future of Truth

A noir mystery by the acclaimed modernist Russian master, set in the Paris underworld. "An excellent novel by any standard, ...especially remarkable for joining the philosophical underpinnings of the Russians with the intrigue of a French thriller." --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review A millionaire is killed. A golden statuette of a Buddha goes missing. A penniless student, who is afflicted by dream-like fits, is arrested and accused of murder. Slipping between the menacing dream world of the student's fevered imagination, and the dark back alleys of the Paris underworld, The Buddha's Return is part detective novel, part philosophical thriller, and part love story. Beset by constant hallucinations, a student and member of the Russian émigré community which filled Paris in the 1920s and 30s wanders the nighttime city. His offer of kindness to a vagrant in the Luxemburg Gardens spirals into unintended consequences, converging with the influence of a Russian millionaire and his mistress and hangers-on. As the student drifts between dreams and reality, we find ourselves wondering about his guilt and about the influence of fate on all this--as well as where his true love Catherine has got to. But when the Buddha is returned, all becomes clear in this modernist meditation on fate, authority and connection. In typically crisp, unfussy prose, Gazdanov's delicately balanced novel is a vivid evocation of the unforgettable atmosphere of interwar Paris--and an irresistibly hypnotic masterpiece from one of Russia's most talented émigré writers.

Earth Angel

This book offers a timely and illuminating exploration of the powerful nexus between sport, travel, and human experience. Drawing from key research published in Tourism Recreation Research, it weaves together diverse perspectives on how individuals engage with sport tourism-from personal motivations to global development impacts.Through its thoughtfully structured approach, Part I of the volume examines the behavior and psychology of sport tourists, uncovering what drives adventure seekers, how women navigate participation in snow sports, and the ways eco-conscious behaviors emerge from sporting experiences. It addresses critical questions of accessibility, representation, and decision-making factors that influence participation across different demographics, while also highlighting issues of legitimacy and corporate social responsibility in winter sports tourism.The narrative then seamlessly transitions to the developmental aspects of sport tourism in Part II, revealing how destinations strategically plan, market, and manage sporting events. From sustainable approaches to mega-events to the evolution of emerging sports in developing economies, the book presents a comprehensive view of how places transform through sport tourism initiatives.Blending scholarly insight with practical application, this accessible volume serves as an essential resource for students, tourism professionals, and anyone fascinated by how sport tourism simultaneously drives personal transformation, fosters social connection, and catalyzes regional development in our increasingly interconnected world.The chapters in this book were originally published in Tourism Recreation Research.
