Lyrics from a Lifetime of Songwriting

'Extraordinary' SOPHIE ELMHIRST, author of Maurice and Maralyn 'Sparkles with passion, greed and mystery' OLIVER BULLOUGH, author of Butler to the World&nbsp; 'Spellbinding' LAURA MILLER, Slate 'A jewel of a thriller' CAROL WOOLTON, author of If Jewels Could TalkWhen she was ten years old, Serena Kutchinsky's father Paul was consumed by a wild dream. Heir to the legendary jewellery company House of Kutchinsky, he longed to create a jewelled egg more beautiful than any of Fabergé's masterpieces. It would be the largest and most spectacular in the world.Standing two feet tall, made of solid gold, dripping with rare pink diamonds and housing a tiny enamelled library, the egg was astonishing. But when he failed to sell it, everything started to unravel. The House of Kutchinsky collapsed, Paul's marriage fell apart, and within ten years he was dead. The egg was seized by its creditors and disappeared without trace.For thirty years its location remained a mystery, until it began to obsess Serena, too. Why did her father risk everything for this outlandish creation, and where in the world was it - valued by now at £30 million? Intent on finding answers, she traces a story that begins in London's East End, with the arrival of her great-great grandparents as Polish-Jewish immigrants, and takes her to the other end of the world. It's a journey that transforms her understanding of her father, her childhood and herself.'A brightly painted tale, with everything you could want from a book about a dynasty of jewellers' SUNDAY TIMES

INTRODUCED BY MARK BOSTRIDGE What you have striven for will not end in nothing, all that you have done and been will not be wasted, for it will be a part of me as long as I live, and I shall remember, always. In 1914 Vera Brittain was twenty, and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the lives of a whole generation - had been unimaginably changed. One of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, this is her account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded; and how she emerged into an altered world to become one of the best-loved writers of her time. 'One of the most powerful and widely read war memoirs of all time' GUARDIAN 'Vera Brittain's heart-rending account of the way her generation's lives changed is still as shocking and moving as ever' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Should be compulsory reading' DAILY MAIL

An Autobiographical Study of the Years 1900-1925

Testament Of Youth

What advice do you wish you'd shared before your son's first day at school? When he missed or scored that goal? Or the day he left home? When was the last time you hugged him? And what would you do if you had your time again? Award-winning actor Stephen Graham and psychology lecturer Orly Klein have invited fathers from all walks of life to put into words the things they couldn't say out loud to their sons. Full of hope, fear, shame and pride, Letters to Our Sons is a raw and extraordinary outpouring of the sometimes messy, often joyful, and always complex realities of modern fatherhood. Be part of the conversation. It's time to really talk.

Letters to Our Sons

Jeder kann alles schaffen, wenn er sich nur anstrengt? Schön wär's.&nbsp;Ramona Wuttig zeigt eindrücklich: Sozialer Aufstieg gelingt in Deutschland oft trotz - und nicht wegen - der bestehenden Strukturen. Ihre eigene Geschichte beginnt im ländlichen Thüringen in extremer Armut. Ohne fließendes Warmwasser, geprägt von Arbeitslosigkeit und gesellschaftlicher Ausgrenzung, schien ihr Weg vorgezeichnet. Doch Wuttig holte das Abitur nach, absolvierte drei Studiengänge und streitet heute als Expertin für Chancengerechtigkeit und eine reflektierte Ost-Identität.Offen erzählt sie von der Scham, die das Aufwachsen in prekären Verhältnissen begleitet, und entlarvt das Versprechen der Chancengleichheit als Illusion. Sie legt dar, wie systemische Barrieren Lebenswege bestimmen und warum Erfolg oft gegen alle Widerstände errungen werden muss. Die enge Verknüpfung ihrer bewegenden Biografie mit soziologischer Analyse macht dieses Buch zu einer unverzichtbaren Lektüre.

Arm, ostdeutsch, Arbeiterkind – die Lüge von der Chancengleichheit

Aller Aufstieg ist schwer

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'A whirlwind of encounters . . . a pioneer in melding art, poetry and science' Art Basel

Liquid Reflections

From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral&nbsp;8 Passengers&nbsp;family vlog –&nbsp;now the subject of a new Disney+&nbsp;docuseries –&nbsp;and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing. Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface&nbsp;– Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: 'Finally'. For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, 'ConneXions'. No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.

The House of My Mother

»Spuren im Staub« wurde erstmals 1942 auf dem Höhepunkt von Zora Neale Hurstons Popularität veröffentlicht und ist ihre freimütige, witzige, kühne und ergreifende Autobiografie. Eindrucksvoll und überschwänglich erzählt sie darin von ihrer Kindheit im ländlichen Süden und von ihrem Aufstieg zu einer der führenden Künstlerinnen und Intellektuellen der Harlem Renaissance.Hurstons sehr persönliches literarisches Selbstporträt ist fesselnd und bietet einen aufschlussreichen, oft kühnen Einblick in das Leben – öffentlich und privat – einer außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin, Anthropologin, Chronistin und Verfechterin der Black Experience in Amerika. Voller Witz und Weisheit einer stolzen, temperamentvollen Frau, die ganz unten anfing und ganz oben ankam, ist »Spuren im Staub« ein seltener Schatz von einer der meistgeschätzten Stimmen der Literatur.

»Warm, witzig, phantasievoll. Ein reichhaltiges und gewinnendes Buch.« New Yorker | Autobiografie einer der bedeutendsten afroamerikanischen Schriftstellerinnen des 20. Jh

Spuren im Staub

Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favourite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade long career. In You with the Sad Eyes, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn't see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; sparkling on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonized franchise Anchorman; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS. She'll dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have dogged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her path is ever lit though, by lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know fully. You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, the weight of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius. In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say."

An unflinchingly honest and darkly funny memoir

You with the Sad Eyes

Es gilt, einen der einflussreichsten Publizisten und Denker des 19. Jahrhunderts wiederzuentdecken. Diese Biografie widmet sich Leben und Werk des großen Publizisten und Gelehrten Joseph Görres (1776-1848), eines ebenso außergewöhnlichen wie umstrittenen Mannes, der allen Widerständen zum Trotz für seine Ideale von Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit kämpfte. In seinem facettenreichen Leben spiegelt sich die Geschichte Deutschlands zwischen den Revolutionen von 1789 und 1848 wider. Joseph Görres gilt als Vordenker des politischen Katholizismus und als Repräsentant der Heidelberger Romantik. Doch er begann als radikaler Propagandist der Französischen Revolution. Als Stimme Deutschlands gegen Napoleon im von ihm begründeten 'Rheinischen Merkur' wurde er berühmt, seine Kritik am preußischen Beamtenstaat brachte ihn ins Exil. Als Universitätsprofessor in München wurde er zum Vorkämpfer für die Unabhängigkeit der katholischen Kirche in Deutschland gegenüber staatlichen Übergriffen. Seine Kampfschrift "Athanasius" wurde ein Markstein in der Geschichte des deutschen Katholizismus. In vielen Disziplinen war er zu Hause, in den Naturwissenschaften, in der Philosophie, in der Geschichte. Er beschäftigte sich mit mittelalterlichen Handschriften, persischen Epen, mystischen und parapsychologischen Phänomenen, getrieben von rastloser Neugier und Begeisterung. In seinen wissenschaftlichen wie in seinen publizistischen Arbeiten faszinierte er durch eine lebendige bilderreiche und poetische Sprache. Sein Leben lang war er erfüllt von prophetischem Sendungsbewusstsein und kompromisslosem Kampfgeist. Dabei blieb er trotz aller Wandlungen sich selbst stets treu und ging unbeirrt seinen eigenen Weg. Nach ihm wurde die Görres-Gesellschaft zur Pflege der Wissenschaft benannt.

Die Biographie

Joseph Görres

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendor of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse.Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way.There's a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

Astrology is the language in which all of existence speaks, says astrologer and tarotist Bess Matassa. In Star Charting, she leads readers on a vivid journey through the twelve signs of the zodiac as a poetic practice and transformative framework for befriending both the familiar and the strange. Matassa blends personal narrative, sensory immersion, inquiry exercises, and communal calls to action to reframe this ancient art as a modern manifesto for healing division by exalting the astounding complexity within this wild world. In contrast to more technical manuals on birth chart interpretation, this is magic-making as an exploratory treasure hunt, forging radical pathways to personal and collective evolution. Twelve modes of bearing witness to life and moving with its currents. Twelve styles of championing creative change. And twelve ways of never, ever losing heart.

Star Charting

In the tradition of bestselling classics such as Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed and Benjamin Lorr’s The Secret Life of Groceries comes a character-driven exploration of the modern supermarket, unpacking what works and what doesn’t, and delivering a blueprint for a better way to shop. Grocery stores may all seem the same. But the supermarket as an institution is anything but ordinary or one-dimensional. At the supermarket where I worked, I found a microcosm of society: a place of brutality and violence as well as solidarity and the promise of change. Unemployed and looking for work during the pandemic, journalist and activist Ann Larson found a job as a cashier at a supermarket in Utah. Though she had written about low-wage work for years, nothing could have prepared her for what she experienced. Informed by her time behind the register, Cleanup on Aisle Five is Larson’s deep dive into supermarkets and how they operate from the inside out: from the low-wage workers stocking the shelves and the customers coming through at all hours, to the communities these stores serve and the larger capitalist forces and corporate interests at play that control how we shop for food. In the process, she chronicles the evolution of the grocery store, unpacks the political implications of the battles between shoppers and staff, and invites us to imagine grocery stores as places where one can foster community and even equity—if we can separate food distribution from profit motive. Deeply reported and refreshingly insightful, Larson follows the interactions between the workers, including Stanley who can’t afford a sandwich, Nick who doesn’t have health insurance, and Scarlet who is all out of patience, and customers, including the old lady who finds comfort in tidying the shelves to the one homeless guy who only comes in to use the facilities. From the unforgettable characters to the common challenges we face when it comes to food, Cleanup in Aisle Five will forever change the way we look at grocery stores.
