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.

"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."

It doesnt matter that youve lived in shadows, that youve slept through years of your life, that youve done things youre ashamed to admit even to yourself. It doesnt matter that youre an anxious, depressed, spaghetti-brained mess with a shouty monster brain that keeps you from conforming to societys definition of normal.Beth McColl has been there sometimes she still is there but in this book she shares whats worked for her and what hasnt, whats gotten her into trouble and then back out of it again, and what she wishes shed known from the start: How to get through a bad day, questions to ask your doctor, the truth about medication, ways to practise self-care and mindfulness, what to expect from a partner, how to forgive your past self, and so much more...How to Come Alive Again is a relatable, honest, at times joyous, and above all practical guide for anyone who has a mental illness or anyone who knows and loves someone who does. Its the basics for mending your life, accepting yourself, changing what doesnt work, killing the worst of it and learning to live again.

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.

Pardes Rimonim é uma das obras fundamentais da Cabalá clássica. Escrita por Rabi Mosheh ben Yaaqov Cordovero (Ramak), um dos maiores sistematizadores do pensamento cabalístico, a obra foi composta em Tzefat (Safed), na Galileia, por volta de 15501555, no auge do florescimento mistico do judaismo pos-expulso da Espanha. Cordovero, discipulo de Rabi Shelomoh Alqabetz, escreveu este tratado antes do surgimento da escola luriana, com o proposito explicito de ordenar, clarificar e harmonizar as tradiçes do Zohar, dos Tiqqunim, do Sefer Yetzirah e de autores cabalisticos anteriores. O Pardes Rimonim no e um livro devocional, mas uma arquitetura teologica rigorosa. Estruturado em 32 Portais (Shearim) e 287 capitulos, ele percorre de forma sistematica os grandes eixos da Cabala: as Sefirot, a distinço entre Essencia e Recipientes (Atzmut ve-Kelim), a ordem da Emanaço (Atzilut), os Nomes Divinos, os mundos (ABYA), as letras, vogais e acentos, os canais espirituais, as kelipot, a alma, a intenço (kavanah) e os metodos classicos de interpretaço como gematria, tzeruf e temurah. Esta 2º ediço e indicada para estudiosos, pesquisadores e leitores comprometidos com a tradiço mistica judaica em seu nivel mais elevado. Pardes Rimonim permanece, ate hoje, uma porta indispensavel para quem deseja compreender a Cabala como ciencia espiritual estruturada, e no como misticismo fragmentado.

Um dos meritos desse romance e o de mostrar que Florianopolis teve, e tem, sim, expressiva populaço negra, submetida a escravido e a toda a sorte de excluses e preconceitos raciais. As personagens femininas eixo condutor do romance sabiam que dentre as poucas possibilidades de negros conseguirem mobilidade social e escaparem dos trabalhos mais rudimentares e subalternos, estava o conhecimento.

As protagonistas do livro se utilizam da frase em momentos que precisam superar e dar a volta por cima depois de tombos pela vida. Estamos diante de um bom romance baseado em historia verdadeira, com tema atual.

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.
