Michael Thomas: The Broken King

The Broken King

Distilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates Jr's legendary Harvard course in African American Studies, The Black Box: Writing the Race is the story of Black self-definition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, these writers used words to create a liveable world - a "home" - for Black people destined to live in a bitterly racist society. This is a community that defined and transformed itself in defiance of oppression and lies; a collective act of resistance and transcendence that is at the heart of its self-definition. Out of that contested ground has flowered a resilient, creative, powerful, diverse culture formed by people who have often disagreed markedly about what it means to be 'Black', and about how best to shape a usable past out of the materials at hand, to call into being a more just and equitable future. This is the epic story of how, through essays and speeches, novels, plays and poems, a long line of creative thinkers has unveiled the contours of - and resisted confinement in - the black box that this "nation within a nation" has been assigned, from its founding to today. It is a book that records the compelling saga of the creation of a people.

Writing the Race

The Black Box

Anniversary edition hardcover with a new foreword. A courageous and remarkably accomplished Holocaust survivor’s powerfully vivid account of his transformation from a 13-year-old music student, to smuggling food and arms for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and tenaciously enduring a series of brutal concentration camps, fighting for life against impossible odds. When Hitler’s Nazis marched into Poland, it brought an abrupt, cruel end to Jack Eisner’s childhood, shattered his loving family, and turned his peaceful Jewish community into a nightmarish world of atrocity and murder. Instead of entering the Warsaw Music Conservatory, to which he’d won a scholarship, Jack found himself climbing cemetery walls, leaping over rooftops, and tunneling through sewers with a gang of fellow teenagers to smuggle food, hope, and survival into his besieged home. Pulse-pounding and chillingly graphic, Jack’s story takes you into the terror of the Warsaw ghetto . . . to the clandestine meetings with Christian friends who risk their lives to help the teenagers . . . and alongside young rebels as they raise the flag with the Star of David in the final, unforgettable moments of the daring but doomed Warsaw uprising. From the rubble of the ghetto to the horror of the concentration and slave labor camps, The Survivor of the Holocaust is both a stunning chronicle and a poignant true story of a young man sustained by his passionate desire to be reunited with the girl he loves. It also stands as captivating memorial to the 100 members of a single family who perished, told by one among them who—pitted against overwhelming odds—clung fiercely to their life-affirming message.

The Survivor of the Holocaust

Virago Modern Classics

I never realised that there could be such suffering in the world, and that anyone could live through it' 1 July 1945 In 1940, while the Germans occupied Holland, fourteen-year-old Edith van Hessen was filling her diary with carefree stories of school, parties and boys. But her entries record a darkening world. By 1942, as the Nazis escalated their war against the Jewish population, Edith began a bitter struggle to survive. Hidden in plain sight by another Dutch family, with a Nazi officer billeted in the next room, Edith faces the horrors of war under constant threat of discovery and betrayal. As terrible news filters through from home, she can only shout her real name to the wind and wait for liberation. Weaving together Edith's diaries with letters smuggled between family members and her own memories, this extraordinary memoir of 'the Anne Frank who lived' is a profoundly moving account of grief, loss, courage - and one girl's remarkable belief in humanity in the face of despair. 'Leaves you heart-broken, illuminated, and amazed at the capacity for courage' Esther Freud 'Moving and wise . . . The most vivid evocation of the experience of Nazi Occupation I have ever read' Independent 'Truly moving . . . leaving one with great hope in humanity' The Times INTRODUCED BY ESTHER FREUD

The true story of how one young girl escaped the Holocaust

Edith's Story

War, Empire and the Struggle for a New World

1945: The Reckoning

This story is a modern bildungsroman—the story of a young man searching for himself in turbulent times. Either by remarkable coincidence or Divine navigation, Lee Jaffe's curiosities and passions place him next to a parade of legendary artists who went on to change the world. Among those who he came to know and work with were Hélio Oiticica, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jaffe even ended up playing with Marley and Wailers at venues including Madison Square Gardens.
Jaffe’s determination to establish himself as an artist is a constant throughout these pages but little else was planned. Written with the rich detail and acute ear of a Studs Terkel profile, Jaffe’s story provides the reader with a front row seat on some of the most magical moments of artistic production in NYC, Jamaica, London, and Rio de Janeiro.

A Woman's Journey into the Night

After Sunset

WITH A FOREWORD FROM MARGARET ATWOOD'This book would always have been important evidence that the Ukraine people were suffering criminal attack. Written by a poet, it is also a work of literature, published after the author lost her life doing her research. It is an icon of a young woman's heroism' Philippa Gregory

Looking at Women, Looking at War

This book is about something special that we all desire - love. And it is also a book about what keeps us apart - the desire to be seen but being unwilling to do what needs to be done to see. This book will change your life. It wull give you all the wings you need to fly again.

His friends called him V. He used to feel intimidated by the fashion world but he got over it. He designed his first Louis Vuitton collection in three hours. He cared more about pageantry than clothes. He wasn’t precious about his ideas. He sometimes made work and added the meaning later. He contradicted himself all the time but he saw no problem with that. Fashion for him was one big art project, and also kind of a joke. He believed in God. He believed in logos. He thought insisting on novelty in fashion was farcical; a critique meant to keep people like him out. Some nights when he couldn’t sleep he wondered how people would remember him once he was gone. Virgil Abloh, who died unexpectedly in 2021 at age 41, defied categorization. Born in Rockford, Illinois to Ghanaian immigrants, he learned to sew as child, studied civil engineering in college and then architecture in graduate school. He entered the world of fashion sideways, without formal training, upsetting the status quo first with the stratospheric success of Off-White and then with his appointment as Artistic Director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. He pierced the divisions between pop culture and couture, fashion, music, and design, and was as influenced by Marcel Duchamp and Mies van der Rohe, Albert Murray, Rammellzee, Drake, DJ Benji B, Kylie Jenner, and Bella Hadid, as by the storied histories of high fashion houses. He was fascinated by the commodification of culture and the dialectic between appropriation and reappropriation, between ‘high’ and ‘low’. He admired the ready-made and the imitative for the way in which they force you to think carefully about the context in which they were created. He felt originality was a sham, and saw clearly the way Fashion, with a capital F, depends on the policing of who is allowed the mantle of ‘genius’. The establishment bridled at his approach even as they celebrated his work. He, in turn, understood that people wanted him to be a symbol, to fit an idea of the Black Designer, but he refused any kind of easy definition. Here, in Work in Progress, is a blueprint for a way to live, a conversation between friends, a challenge to any idea of black and white thinking. A portrait of an iconoclast, WORK IN PROGRESS takes us inside the mind of one of the most visionary and transformational designers of our time.

Notes on Creativity, Collaboration and The In-Between

Work in Progress

Immersed in history and myth, Damian Le Bas explores the meaning we find in sunken ruins around the worldThousands of years ago, an island off the Straits of Gibralter went to war with ancient Athens. The battle was lost, and an earthquake cleaved the land in two. Overnight the island sank beneath the waves - or so legend tells. As a young boy, Damian Le Bas was captivated by the lost city of Atlantis. Even as an adult, he dreams about diving amid its ancient ruins, observing with his own eyes the remnants of an era that still reverberates in our own. After the death of his father, torn between his lifelong desire and the taboo his Romany culture places on the ocean, he comes by chance across a dive shop. He can't help but go in. Under the waves he enters a breathtaking world. As he masters the skills of this dangerous sport, diving with seals in the Faroe Islands, exploring submerged Roman ruins in Naples and mapping the sunken city of Port Royal in Jamaica, he is entranced anew, by wonders both manmade and natural. Atlantis - from its first account by Plato, to the explorers who searched in vain and the discovery that might finally solve its mystery - takes on a new shape in Damian's quest. At once a spellbinding love letter to diving, The Drowned Places is also a profound examination of the power that myth has over us, and what happens when it crosses over into reality.
