The definitive biography of the celebrated naval hero who brought down a Prime Minister.Roger Keyes was one of the most inspiring and controversial military figures Britain produced in the twentieth century, pursuing a distinguished career in the Royal Navy.In 1918, his leadership of the Zeebrugge and Ostend raids became the stuff of legend, earning eleven Victoria Crosses and transforming him into a national hero who symbolised Britains fighting spirit.Passed over for the position of First Sea Lord due to his opposition to naval disarmament, in 1934 Keyes entered Parliament, where he campaigned fiercely against appeasement alongside Churchill. It was his decisive, fiery intervention in the 1940 Norway debate that broke the back of Neville Chamberlains government and cleared the path for Churchill to become Prime Minister.Just months later, Churchill restored him to command as the first head of Combined Operations. Keyes created and championed the Commandos, forging the elite special forces unit that terrorised Hitlers coastal defences.A hero in two world wars, Keyes was revered by the men under his command and frequently compared to Nelson, but his abrasive style also made him powerful enemies. Cutting through the controversy that surrounds his name, this definitive, warts-and-all biography aims to restore Keyes to his rightful place in British history.

What is the relationship between an author and their editor? What influence does one exert over the other? In A Christmas Story, which takes us back to Santiago de Chile at the turn of the century, we witness the formation of an invisible triangle between these two interlocutors and the text that you hold in your hands a narrative with its beams exposed. The reader is granted the rare opportunity to observe the individual and subjective nature of this dialectic: how fragile and particular but also how strong it can become. In Megan McDowells brilliantly playful translation and interventions, the story of the relationship between a writer and his editor takes on an extra layer of meaning, revealing how conversations and doubts begin to overflow beyond the page, the text, the work itself, forging bonds that no longer cling to literature alone, but to life.

In these two novellas and three short stories for adult readers, Hans Christian Andersen displays the imagination and descriptive brilliance familiar from his fairy tales, but turns his eye to subtler social themes: class mobility in a changing Europe; the unfairness with which talents and opportunities are meted out in this world; the struggle between natures claims on humanity and civilizations.The title novella, The Ice Virgin, unites all these ideas in a piece of beautifully structured storytelling considered by some to be Andersens masterpiece. Rudy is orphaned young, rescued as an infant from a glacial crevasse where his mother fell and died. He lives, but the stunning yet unforgiving mountain landscape of Switzerland may yet claim him. His love for the rich millers daughter Babette brings out all his bravery and ingenuity - but also his stubbornness and resistance to change. In a masterfully ambivalent climax Andersen makes us wonder what happiness and fulfilment truly mean.Elsewhere in the collection Andersen turns his gaze to the hostile shores and wooded heights of Denmarks Jutland, where in his time submissive poverty was giving way to feverish social transformation. We meet a shipwrecked youngster struggling to fit into his adopted community, a couple whose wise humility echoes down the wealthy generations that follow with comically unexpected effects, and a steadfast friend whose saintly patience is ill rewarded by the object of her loyalty. Full of irony, enchanting imagery and bravura prose, these stories showcase Andersens perceptiveness, empathy, and deep engagement with the world around him.

Moving through somnambulant states, Sleep Gate evokes Inger Christensens description of the necessity for us to dream our way inward. The poems in Sleep Gate push Christensens dream inward further, into biological dreaming itself. Fully absorbed in the fabric of sleep, enfolded into the inventory of dreams, these poems become part of the process of sleep respiration, so that we might consider the world around us from another perspective. Moving through the changing states of peoplesdreamscapes and what might affect them, like nightmares, insomnia and other sleep disorders, Sleep Gate captures the disjunctive, jump-cutting quality of dreams: within the unspoken context of deep-sleep tectonic logic, these poems jump from a time before the clouds are inventoried to the present, from Winters gnashing bruxism to a garden anointed with gluey residue. A collection that, as on waking, assembles the world through distortion and towards clarity.
