Un encuentro fortuito en un tren a Viena. Una habitación de hotel y un teléfono que implora. El enraizado recuerdo de una joven del pasado. Una triste alimaña que mira a través de la ventana.Los dieciocho relatos que componen este libro son el resultado de multiples lecturas, pero tambien de esa nueva curiosidad encadenada que te atrapa desde la primera busqueda y que te permite trenzar un mosaico de pequeñas o grandes conquistas, de maravillosos descubrimientos. Y, por supuesto, lo son igualmente de la observacion, nada experta pero si indagatoria, no siempre indulgente, de numerosos personajes que fueron surgiendo por el camino. Algunos respiraron y pisaron la tierra en realidad; otros son el producto de mi imaginacion. Todos forman ya parte de esa gozosa e inagotable cadena.

Northern Ireland is on fire. But rather than attending to the conflict raging around her, the young Sinéad Morrissey is obsessed with the Cold War, East Germany and the utopia of the USSR.Set against the distinctive cultural milieu of Belfast Communism its smoky meeting rooms, protests, marches, sports days, holidays, discos and Party bazaars Among Communists tells a history of the Troubles unlike any other whilst simultaneously charting a young writers journey into poetry.When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, surprising everyone Western Communists most of all Morrisseys family followed suit and fell apart. This memoir charts those personal and political earthquakes, weaving together a lyrical exploration of familial love, belief, contrariness and loss, and of the galvanising power of sudden endings to make and re-make the past.

Bill Manhire has always subscribed to Paul Valérys definition of poetry as a prolonged hesitation between sound and sense. In that spirit, many of the poems in this new, dazzling collection blend story and song, and do so using everyday words and phrases that suddenly, on the page become new and delightfully weird.Lyrical Ballads is a many-peopled collection: the baffled inhabitants of Every Street and Intermediate Street are here, while Dracula, T.S. Eliot and Bobby Outram from Outram have walk-on parts. The collection is anchored by two long sequences that embrace awkwardness, mystery and absurdity: The Tobacco Tin, a kind of folk story riding along on its own lacunae, and Tell You What, a set of curmudgeonly opinions that evoke the prejudices of a fast-vanishing world.As they notice the small collisions between wonder and everyday reality, and the trajectories of those who dont fit easily in this world, these poems close in on the darker certainties of our lives.

A Poetry Book Society RecommendationPraising Joe Carrick Vartys debut, the T.S. Eliot Prize judges observed that his work confronts fraught spaces of addiction and domestic violence [its] lyricism shaped by a raw and fragmented reality.His outstanding second collection reflects further on growing up under the cloud of abuse and alcoholism, unfolding compelling patterns as it examines how the past shapes our future lives. Bold and unusual in form, its three gripping long poems look unflinchingly and unforgettably at inheritance, pain and memory.

When Titanic left Southampton in 1912, neither the Aristocrat, The Countess of Rothes, nor the Able Seaman, Thomas Jones, imagined meeting, let alone navigating a tiny lifeboat together at night, among towering icebergs.

Their ordeal forged an unlikely affinity that lasted until Noel died in 1956.Angela Young, Noels great-granddaughter, tells the stories of these two courageous Titanic survivors and considers why so very few people survived the tragedy.

Even in this predominantly secular age, Britains cathedrals remain potent symbols of religious continuity. Their purpose was to reveal Gods majesty, to declare the supremacy of the Church and the devotion of the men who built them. They were intended, literally, to be awesome. Similarly, our medieval abbeys, most of them sad remnants of a glorious past, serve to remind us of the dedication of those who aspired to the monastic ideal. No two cathedrals or abbeys are alike in their conception, location, construction or history, and it is this that gives them their limitless appeal.Informative, knowledgeable and wide-ranging, Stephen Friars study contains over 1,450 entries and explores the features of these places, as well as associated subjects, such as architecture, monuments and church music. Entries on the Anglo-Saxon Church, monasticism, the Reformation, the restoration of the Roman Catholic dioceses and more assist in revealing a wider historical context.Richly illustrated in both colour and black and white, The Companion to Cathedrals and Abbeys is essential reading to new and more seasoned researchers alike.

For much of its history, Orkney had its own language, culture and institutions. The prehistoric inhabitants created monuments which are unmatched anywhere in Europe, and the medieval period saw the magnificent earldom that expressed itself through the Orkneyinga Saga and the building of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. Like Shetland, Orkney was heavily influenced by Viking traders and raiders from Scandinavia, and for a long period it formed an outlying part of the kingdom of Norway. Over 500 years ago, however, the islands lost their Scandinavian links and since then have had a sometimes difficult association with mainland Scotland. More recent times have seen the use of Orkney as a strategic stronghold during two world wars, and the far-reaching impact of oil and gas exploitation in the North Sea. This classic book covers the whole fascinating story and will be of interest to readers far beyond the rocky shores of Orkney itself.
