"We are surrounded by the greatest of free shows. Places"Jonathan Meades has an obsessive preoccupation with places. He has spent thirty years constructing sixty films, two novels and hundreds of pieces of journalism that explore an extraordinary range of them, from natural landscapes to man-made buildings and "the gaps between them", drawing attention to what he calls "the rich oddness of what we take for granted".This book collects 54 pieces and six film scripts that dissolve the barriers between high and low culture, good and bad taste, deep seriousness and black comedy. Meades delivers heavy entertainment - strong opinions backed up by an astonishing depth of knowledge.To read Meades on places, buildings, politics, or cultural history is an exhilarating workout for the mind. He leaves you better informed, more alert, less gullible. "Everything is fantastical if you stare at it for long enough. Everything is interesting."

Ao se debruçar sobre as curiosidades e esquisitices da língua, Gregorio Duvivier combina rigor e humor para refletir sobre o modo como nos expressamos."O que há num nome?". A pergunta de Julieta a Romeu funda a questo que intriga o escritor e ator Gregorio Duvivier: por que sera que certas palavras so mais perfumosas que outras? Por que algumas tem um som mais estridente e pontiagudo, e outras um ar mais arredondado? As coisas existem sem seus nomes, ou e impossivel separar uma coisa da outra?Nessa declaraço de amor a lingua portuguesa, o autor mostra como as palavras que usamos todo dia podem ser surpreendentes quando olhadas sob uma nova perspectiva. Depois do sucesso estrondoso da peça O ceu da lingua, que ja teve mais de 200 mil espectadores, Duvivier se dedica a esmiuçar, com humor fino e vasto repertorio, o modo como as palavras moldam nossa identidade.

Virginia Woolf leu James Joyce? Joyce leu Virginia? A primeira tem resposta fácil, porque Virginia escreveu publicamente sobre Joyce, em especial, sobre Ulysses. Ele figura, centralmente, no ensaio "Os romances modernos", de 1919. Ele aparece novamente em 1925, no ensaio "A ficço moderna", verso ligeiramente modificada de "Os romances modernos". Pode-se dizer que Virginia tinha uma relaço ambigua com Joyce e seu Ulysses. Ela, sem duvida, admirava sua criatividade, mas tambem era essa criatividade que a incomodava. Joyce, por sua vez, que se comprazia em reproduzir, em seus livros, sobretudo em Finnegans Wake, frases de seus criticos, transcritos ao seu bel prazer, faz ao menos uma referencia a uma frase de Virginia, retirada justamente do ensaio em que ela trata dos romances modernos. E esse "encontro" (ou seria um "desencontro"?) entre os dois que o livro busca documentar.

Disgusting and brilliant should earn Meades justifiable comparison to Joyce, Celine, Pynchon Paul Spike, Vogue.At first glance, this 1993 masterpiece is a post-war family saga set in and around the city of Portsmouth. This doesnt come close to communicating the scabrous magnificence of Meadess creation. Pompey is an obscene, suppurating vision of an England in terminal decline.The story begins with Guy Vallender, a fireworks manufacturer from Portsmouth, who has four children by different four different women. Theres poor Eddie, a feeble geek with a gift for healing; Mad Bantu, the son of a black prostitute, who was hopelessly damaged in the womb by an attempted abortion; Bonnie, who is born beautiful but becomes a junkie and a porn star; and finally Jean-Marie, a leather-wearing gay gerontophiliac conceived on a one-night stand in Belgium.The narrator is Jonathan Meades, cousin to poor Eddie and Bonnie, who tells the story of how their strange and poisonous destinies intersect. And although there is no richer stew of perversity, voyeurism, corruption, religious extremism and curdled celebrity in all of English literature, there is also an underlying compassion and jet-black humour which makes Pompey an important and strangely satisfying work of art. Prepare to enter the English novels darkest ride...

Meades makes everything sound so delicious that the non-cook will be moved to cook and the bad cook will cook better David Hare, The Guardian.The Plagiarist in the Kitchen is an anti-cookbook. Best known as a provocative novelist, journalist and film-maker, Jonathan Meades has also been called the best amateur chef in the world by Marco Pierre White. His contention here is that anyone who claims to have invented a dish is delusional, dishonestly contributing to the myth of culinary originality.Meades delivers a polemical but highly usable collection of 125 of his favourite recipes, each one an example of the fine art of culinary plagiarism. These are dishes and methods he has hijacked, adapted, improved upon and made his own. Without assuming any special knowledge or skill, the book is full of excellent advice. He tells us why the British never got the hang of garlic. That a purist would never dream of putting cheese in a Gratin Dauphinois. That cooking brains in brown butter cannot be improved upon. And why despite the advice of Martin Scorseses mother he insists on frying his meatballs.In a world dominated by health fads, food vloggers and over-priced kitchen gadgets, The Plagiarist in the Kitchen is timely reminder that, when it comes to food, its almost always better to borrow than to invent.

The Blood of the Forgotten launches The SonaRift Saga, an epic fantasy series blending dark lore, rebellion, and the shattering consequences of crossing worlds.When Orion, the accidental creator of a device capable of ripping holes through reality, falls through a rift into a realm ruled by the Velari, everything he knows fractures. The Velari are a powerful, ancient vampire race bound by blood, tradition, and a history written in silence. Orions arrival is a spark in dry tinder: dangerous, unexpected, and impossible to ignore.Amaris Black Rose, a farm girl and reluctant warrior, discovers Orion wounded on the borders of her family farm. Haunted by war, guided by loyalty, and torn by emerging feelings she does not yet understand, Amaris is thrust into a conflict far larger than her quiet world. As rebellion stirs in the shadows and the Emperor tightens his grip, long-forgotten truths creep back into the light.Together, Orion and Amaris uncover secrets buried beneath centuries of lies, truths about bonding, blood, and the ancient connection between humans and Velari. Their discoveries threaten to unravel the empire itself.But the greater threat lies beyond the rifts.Was Orion the first to cross... and will be the last.The Blood of the Forgotten is a story of love, loyalty, and awakening power, where destiny is not a path, but a fracture. And once the rifts begin to open, nothing can stop what comes through.

Tre storie. Tre universi solo in apparenza lontani. Una figura che ritorna, ogni volta diversa, ogni volta familiare.In un condominio, dove la serenita regna sovrana, una serata di giochi si trasforma in un patto collettivo con qualcuno che non sa o finge di non sapere di avere un ruolo infernale cucito addosso.In un piccolo parco di provincia, un uomo incontra se stesso su una panchina, e il tempo si piega dinanzi ai suoi occhi.In un albergo ordinario e accogliente, il mistero si cela proprio dietro a quei sorrisi apparentemente perfetti.Chi indaga scoprira molto piu di quanto avrebbe voluto e molto piu di quanto potra mai raccontare.Unopera che gioca con lidentita, con il destino, con lidea stessa del male una figura che non agisce mai in modo plateale, ma che e sempre presente. Quella che forse abbiamo incontrato tutti almeno una volta, senza riconoscerla.

The constitution of the human soul has undergone a profound transformation in recent centuries. With the rise of I-consciousness, individuality and intellectual thought have moved to the foreground, opening a path toward freedom and self-determination. Yet this gain has come with a loss: the vivid, instinctive spiritual perception of earlier epochs has faded. In this unique series of lecture, Rudolf Steiner traces this decisive shift in consciousness and situates it within a wide panorama of world history. Central to our time is the question of Christs continuing presence. Steiner follows the changing perception of Christ, from early Gnosis through the formation of Church doctrine to the modern age, indicating a renewed mode of spiritual perception Imagination through which Christ may again be experienced as a living reality. This reappearance, not in physical form but within the etheric realm, marks a decisive threshold for contemporary humanity.Through a symptomatic reading of events, Steiner explores the distinct spiritual missions of East, West and Central Europe, illuminating their contrasting modes of thought, social life and cultural inheritance. Platonism and Aristotelianism, economy and jurisprudence, spirituality and civic life emerge as interwoven streams shaping humanitys present crisis and future task. With reflections on Goethe, Schiller and the threefold social principle, these lectures articulate a form of spirituality suited to modern consciousness one that honours human freedom while awakening new faculties of perception. This revised edition features an introduction by Richard Ramsbotham. Seven lectures, 1731 Oct. 1920, Dornach, GA 200
