ISBN: 9781786892911 / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12-16 dni roboczych. An extraordinary account of what it means to stand up for justice, and for yourself, no matter the cost; now with a new epilogue 'It is when things feel the most uncertain, and we are at our most tired, frustrated and worn out, that we must dig deep. That's when we need to find it within ourselves not to turn away and hide in our bunkers, but to rise up and be even more vocal . . . If we hide, when we emerge from our hiding places the world might be transformed into a hostile, alien environment in which we have no say at all and where the things we love and value no longer exist.'

The Existential Englishman is both a memoir and an intimate portrait of Paris - a city that can enchant, exhilarate and exasperate in equal measure. As Peppiatt remarks: 'You reflect and become the city just as the city reflects and becomes you'. This, then, is one man's not uncritical love letter to Paris. Intensely personal, candid and entertaining, The Existential Englishman chronicles Peppiatt's relationship with Paris in a series of vignettes structured around the half-dozen addresses he called home as a plucky young art critic. Having survived the tumultuous riots of 1968, Peppiatt...

Flash Count Diary: A New Story About the Menopause
ISBN: 9781786898128 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12-16 dni roboczych. Menopause hit Darcey Steinke hard. First came hot flushes. Then insomnia. Then depression.

Flash Count Diary is a powerful exploration into aspects of menopause that have rarely been written about. It is a deeply feminist book, honest about the intimations of mortality that menopause signals but also an argument for the...
