The liberal world order that emerged after the Second World War and expanded triumphantly following the Cold War is unravelling. Multilateral cooperation is giving way to multipolar rivalry and conflict. Global norms are eroding. What comes next will define the rest of the century; the search is on for a new global framework a rebalancing of power.In The Triangle of Power, Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that we are living through a hinge moment in history, akin to 1918, 1945 or 1989. A new international system is taking shape, driven by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East and the Global South. At the centre is the escalating competition between the United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation.Drawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy, and blending personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose its place in the world it once led.

One of the most brilliant British writers working today.SpectatorWho decides the rules of the games we play?In August 2007, or thereabouts, a young philosopher leaves Oslo, heading for Greece, on a mission to find Theodoros Apostolakis, the head of the Society of Lost Things. Fortunately, Apostolakis isnt lost, but everything else is: ancient libraries, entire civilisations, priceless books and a beautiful box, once used to play the world-famous game of Seven. The hunt for this small thing, among the countless lost things, becomes an absurdist quest through time and space: from the earliest human societies to the advent of AI.Told, shared and mythologised by our narrator, along with a wild cast of dreamers, philosophers, poets, rebels and optimists, Seven is an extraordinary, uplifting journey through an ever darkening world.

"She heard the chiming of the silver bells, and she knew the hills were calling her home."In a secluded village nestled beneath the shadow of ancient, brooding hills, dwells the beautiful and ethereal Laura Silver Bell. Unlike the other village girls, Laura feels a strange, magnetic pull toward the wild, unpeopled places of the moor. But in the world of Le Fanu, the hills have eyes, and the "Good People" (the Sidhe) are not the whimsical fairies of nursery rhymesthey are ancient, predatory, and possessive. When a mysterious and charismatic stranger appears, Laura finds herself caught between the warmth of human love and a chilling supernatural inheritance. It is a tale of enchantment that warns: once you hear the silver bells, you can never truly belong to the world of men again.The "Dark" Fairy Tale: Le Fanu strips away the Victorian "flower fairy" imagery to return to the roots of Celtic myth. His fairies are tall, silent, and dangerous beings who exist in the "liminal" spaces of the world. The story explores the "Changeling" myth through a sophisticated Gothic lens, making the supernatural feel like a physical, inevitable force of nature.A Heroine of Two Worlds: Laura is one of Le Fanus most complex female characters. Her "silver" beauty is both a blessing and a curse, marking her as someone who doesnt quite fit into the mundane life of her village. Her struggle is a poignant metaphor for the outsiderthe person who hears a music that no one else can.The Master of the Eerie: Laura Silver Bell showcases Le Fanus ability to weave a sense of "wrongness" into the natural landscape. The rustle of the grass, the shifting shadows of the hills, and the sudden silence of the birds all build toward a climax that is as beautiful as it is devastating.Follow the music into the mist.
