‘I watched the mirror for a last view, for now, of the frozen mountains of Glen Coe. As the road bent and the outline of Buachaille Etive Mor slid into sight, I did what I always did, and always would. I felt for that flutter of awe and that indefinable, unmistakable quickening of the pulse.’In the late 18th century, mountains shifted from being universally reviled to becoming the most inspiring things on earth. Simply put, the monsters became muses – and an entire artistic movement was born. This movement became a love affair, the love affair became an obsession, and gradually but surely, obsession became lifestyle as mountains became stitched into the fabric of the British cultural tapestry.In his compelling new book, Simon Ingram explores how mountains became such a preoccupation for the modern western imagination, weaving his own adventures into a powerful narrative which provides a kind of experiential hit list for people who don’t have the time nor the will to climb a thousand mountains.For some of these mountains, the most amazing thing about them might be the journey they’ve taken to get here. Others, the tales of science, endeavour and art that have played out on their slopes. The mythology they’re drenched in. The history they’ve seen. The genius they’ve inspired. The danger that draws people to them. The life that clusters around them, human and otherwise. The extreme weather they conjure. The adventure they fuel. The way that some raise the hairs on the back of your neck, and trigger powerful, strange emotions. And moreover, what they’re like to be amidst, under, on – just what that indefinable quality is that the British mountains wield which takes possession of you so powerfully, and never goes away.Ingram takes us high into the rafters of Britain’s most forbidding, unflinching and unchanging wild places through all the seasons of the year – from the first blush of spring to the deepest, darkest bite of the mountain winter. From Beinn Dearg to Ben Nevis, he takes us on a journey spanning sixteen of Britain’s most evocative mountainous landscapes, and what they mean to us today.

"The Scarlet Letter is generally considered to be Nathaniel Hawthorne’s masterpiece. Set in 17th century Boston, it follows the plight of Hester Prynne, a young woman who bears a child out of wedlock, refuses to name the father, and is condemned to wear a scarlet ‘A’ for the rest of her life. With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne reaches back to America’s Puritan roots to probe themes of lust, sin, guilt and redemption. This Essential Classics edition includes a new introduction by Professor Vivian Heller, Ph.D. in literature and modern studies from Yale University. Born in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote at the forefront of dark romanticism. His renderings of colonial America reflect the strictures of New England Puritanism and give voice to characters who try to extricate themselves from social conventions. Vivian Heller received her Ph.D. in English Literature and Modern Studies from Yale University. She is author of Joyce, Decadence, and Emancipation(University of Illinois Press) and of The City Beneath Us (W.W. Norton & Company), a history of the building of the New York City subway system. She is an associate at Columbia’s School of Professional Studies and is the writing tutor for the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. She is also a long-standing member of the non-fiction committee of the PEN Prison-Writing Committee, which awards prizes to inmates from across the country. Essential Classics publishes the most crucial literary works throughout history, with a unique introduction to each, making them the perfect treasure for any reader’s shelf.

Von Blake Pierce, der Bestsellerautorin von VERSCHWUNDEN (einem #1 Bestseller mit mehr als 600 F?nf-Sterne-Bewertungen), erscheint nun Buch #2 einer spannenden neuen Krimireihe. In BEVOR ER SIEHT (ein Mackenzie White Krimi—Buch 2), k?mpft die in der Ausbildung zu FBI Agentin steckende Mackenzie White darum, sich in der FBI Academy in Quantico einen Namen zu machen und sich gleichzeitig sowohl als Frau als auch als Neuank?mmling aus Nebraska zu beweisen. In der Hoffnung, dass sie das Zeug dazu hat, eine FBI Agentin zu werden, und ihr Leben im Mittleren Wesen f?r immer hinter sich zu lassen, will Mackenzie sich zur?ckhalten und ihre Vorgesetzten beeindrucken. Aber alles ?ndert sich, als die Leiche einer Frau in einer M?lltonne gefunden wird. Der Mord hat gro?e ?hnlichkeit mit dem Fall des Vogelscheuchen-M?rders, durch den Mackenzie in Nebraska ber?hmt wurde. Im hektischen Kampf gegen die Zeit, um einen neuen Serienkiller zu stoppen, beschlie?t das FBI, sein Protokoll zu brechen und Mackenzie den Fall zu ?bertragen. F?r Mackenzie ist es ihre Chance, das FBI zu beeindrucken, doch die Erwartungen waren noch nie so hoch. Nicht jeder will, dass sie den Fall leitet, und alles, was sie in Angriff nimmt, scheint schief zu gehen. Als der Druck am h?chsten ist und der M?rder wieder zuschl?gt, findet sich Mackenzie alleine in einem Heer erfahrener Agenten, und schon bald erkennt sie, dass sie bereits viel zu tief in der ganzen Sache verwickelt ist. Ihre gesamte Zukunft beim FBI steht auf dem Spiel. So hart und entschlossen Mackenzie auch ist, so brillant sie M?rder auch jagen kann, dieser neuer Fall entpuppt sich als unl?sbares R?tsel, etwas, dem sie nicht gewachsen ist. Wom?glich hat sie nicht einmal genug Zeit, es zu entschl?sseln, da ihr eigenes Leben ?ber ihrem Kopf zusammenbricht. Als dunkler Psychothriller mit kaum auszuhaltender Spannung ist BEVOR ER SIEHT der zweite Teil einer fesselnden neuen Krimireihe – mit einem neuen, liebenswerten Charakter – das Sie bis sp?t in die Nacht fesseln wird. Buch #3 der Mackenzie White Krimireihe wird bald verf?gbar sein.

Julie Myerson meets Ian McEwan in this gripping novel of family breakdown.Ana Lewis is trapped by her own expectations. Her intense relationship with fellow student Alex begins to crack beyond repair when she falls pregnant, and his subsequent withdrawal, emotionally and sexually are hard for Ana to bear. Eventually, following the birth of Pip and then Davie, Alex leaves Ana to a life of question and blame. Locked in her room for much of the time she woefully neglects her children, preferring instead to replay scenes from her life over and over, fighting the urge to blink for fear it should dissipate the memories.Told within the context of two black boxes, one Ana’s and one Pip’s, the story reveals the key factors that have contributed to this catastrophic breakdown of life. In Black Box 01 we meet Ana as she begins to deconstruct her life. She rails against Alex and his inability to love her, or to put her ahead of his domineering mother.Black Box 02 is Pip’s diary which details in a schoolgirl terms the neglect that both Pip and Davie have suffered. Pip talks of her mother’s deterioration, lack of cleanliness and of her mother’s obsessions. Pip and Davie communicate through finger sign language, as their mother demands silence. Davie retreats into his own world, permanently soiled and communicating only by sign, while Pip, fat and desperate, sneaks out of the house at night to have sex with a boy who hates her. Pip and Davie exist in parallel, with only Ana's bedroom door separating her from them. She does not want to see them. They are the present and Ana chooses to live in a past, continually raking over the ashes of a relationship that was never really hers.Accomplished and affecting, Caroline Smailes weaves together a catastrophic tale of mismatched lives.
