Hell of Solitude presents a varied and eclectic selection of writings by Rynosuke Akutagawa, one of the most important and beloved Japanese writers of the twentieth century. Bringing together fiction, poetry, and philosophical prose much of it appearing in English for the first time here this collection showcases the range and intensity of Akutagawas imagination. Moving from the whimsical and fantastical to the grave and introspective, the pieces reveal a writer of extraordinary clarity and psychological depth. Interwoven throughout are poems from a prolific body of verse, examples of which are sparse in English, alongside Art and Other Things, a fragmentary essay in which Akutagawa expounds his aesthetic views while drawing on examples from world literature and art. Translated with sensitivity and precision by Ryan Choi, Hell of Solitude offers a vital reintroduction to a writer whose lucidity, irony, and existential unease continue to resonate across cultures and generations.With a foreword by Polly Barton

Excruciating. Sunday Times On 19 February 2026, the British monarchy was rocked to its core by the arrest of Andrew - Charles IIIs brother who once was 2nd in line to the throne - on his 66th birthday. He was released without charges, but all of a sudden Andrew (no longer a prince but plain Mountbatten-Windsor) had put the monarchy and its extensive privileges on trial. Downfall unravels his dramatic entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein and how it exposed palace privilege as being synonymous with hypocrisy. Drawing on FBI files, leaked emails, and Andrews "Siberian" exile, it reveals what Andrews disgrace means for the monarchy as a result of its co-responsibility. What price will the monarchy pay?

Arisiag and Morar, Norse and Gaelic, the river-mouth bay and the great water, part of na garbh Chriochan (The Rough Bounds), an area so rugged and desolate it was itself known as the Highlands of the Highlands. From Borrodale (fort-dale) to Kilmory (Maelrubhas chapel), from Druimindarroch (oak-tree ridge) to Eireagoraidh (shieling-corrie), the place-names echo the story of the landscape. This harsh environment was at the heart of the old Macruari and Clanranald estate; this was where Bonnie Prince Charlie first landed and last departed, where fugitive Jacobites skulked and languished, where the great poet Alexander Macdonald breathed his last lines, and whence the sail-ships Jane, Lucy and British Queen carried so many hopes to the New World. Where, despite clearance and emigration, potato blight and deer forest, poverty and hardship, a new road and railway were eventually driven, a fishing industry flourished, and where communities survived.

Beyond Fort William, on the road to the Isles, lies Morar, the Highlands of the Highlands and centre of the Rough Bounds, that wild, desolate, but uniquely beautiful part of Scotland that was once the homeland of the Clan Macdonald of Clanranald, Lords of the Isles. Inspired by bards, writers and images of the past, Alasdair Roberts has collected and revitalised a huge number of traditional tales which transport the reader to the heart of this remote and beguiling landscape. Tales of the Morar Highlands is a book packed with extraordinary incident and remarkable characters, from mysterious loch monsters and fugitive princes to lords, priests and smugglers, as well as the ordinary people who have made this fascinating part of Scotland their home for thousands of years.

Its funny what people do and what they tell. Were all hiding bits of ourselves. The bits were not proud of. I can see that now. Its Friday night and Franky is back at her local pub for the first time in a year. Drinks are poured and karaoke is starting, but her return stirs something that has been crackling underneath the noise.Haunted by grief, Frankys family quietly unravel around her, and buried secrets leak through the cracks in every room. A bittersweet, tender exploration of the long trail of grief and the fickleness of memory, Kit Withingtons play Heart Wall asks where we go when home has become somewhere you dont know. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Katie Greenall.

A ray of sunshineStart the Week, Radio 4Read this book as an antidote to fatalism and gloom Robert PestonClosely reported, surprising and, above all, hopeful Jonathan FreedlandAt a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination.- Taiwans health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. - Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara produce enough clean energy to power two million homes. - Estonia has transformed itself into a digital pioneer in a single generation - becoming the worlds first fully digital government where 97.6% of citizens access state services online. - Costa Rica has tripled its economy while doubling its forest cover, proving that green policies can pay direct dividends.What unites these countries, and more, is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The places showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn.A persuasive and imaginative argument against the gloom of our times Bronwen MaddoxSolutions-focused authorship at its best Andrew RobertsA how-to book with inspired answers to our urgent questions Lyse Doucet

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Abundance, Bold, and The Future Is Faster Than You Think comes a bold exploration of what it means to stay human in a world where technology has granted us godlike power.Timely and important Eric SchmidtA manual for optimizing our destiny Ray KurzweilAn extraordinary blueprint for hope Mo GawdatIn 1968, Stewart Brand declared: We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it. Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isnt whether humanity can play god. Its whether we can do it wisely.In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanitys ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future wont be built by those who fear whats coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.Abundance is here. Are you ready?
