The Mersey Sound - Adrian Henri - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Mersey Sound - Adrian Henri - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''I wanted your soft vergesBut you gave me the hard shoulder'' The Mersey Sound brought poetry down from the shelf and on to the street, capturing the mood of the Sixties and speaking to real lives with its irreverent, wry, freewheeling verses of young love, petrol-pump attendants, CND leaflets and bus journey capers. Bringing together the hugely influential work of Adrian Henri, Roger McGough and Brian Patten - the ''Liverpool Poets'' - this perennially beloved volume is the bestselling poetry anthology of all time. Now, for its fiftieth anniversary, this edition restores the original text of the book as it first appeared in 1967: energetic, raw and a true record of its era.

The Wee Book of Calvin - Bill Duncan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A collection of essays and aphorisms about Scottish Calvinism.

A hilarious satire on freeze-dried mysticism and off-the-shelf enlightenment, it is also a haunting and lyrical reflection on places, voices and memories -- a literary journey into the heart of North-East darkness. ''A perfect evocation of Scotland''s mysterious love affair with loss and sorrow. A powerful dram of Zen Calvinism.'' Richard Holloway

Nicholas Nickleby - Charles Dickens - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''A revelation ... as well as being sympathetic to the plight of children, it is hilarious'' A. N. WilsonThe hero of Dickens''s flamboyantly exuberant novel, Nicholas Nickleby, is left penniless after his father''s death and forced to make his own way in the world. His adventures give Dickens the opportunity to portray an extraordinary gallery of rogues and eccentrics: Wackford Squeers, the tyrannical headmaster of Dotheboys Hall; the tragic orphan Smike, rescued by Nicholas; and the gloriously theatrical Mr and Mrs Crummle and their daughter, the ''infant phenomenon''. Nicholas Nickleby is characterized by Dickens''s outrage at social injustice, but it also reveals his comic genius at its most unerring.Edited with an Introduction by Mark Ford

The Face of Britain - Simon Schama - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Face of Britain - Simon Schama - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Simon Schama brings Britain to life through its portraits, as seen in the five-part BBC series The Face of Britain and the major National Portrait Gallery exhibition Churchill and his painter locked in a struggle of stares and glares; Gainsborough watching his daughters run after a butterfly; a black Othello in the nineteenth century; the poet-artist Rossetti trying to capture on canvas what he couldn''t possess in life; a surgeon-artist making studies of wounded faces brought in from the Battle of the Somme; a naked John Lennon five hours before his death.In the age of the hasty glance and the selfie, Simon Schama has written a tour de force about the long exchange of looks from which British portraits have been made over the centuries: images of the modest and the mighty; of friends and lovers; heroes and working people. Each of them - the image-maker, the subject, and the rest of us who get to look at them - are brought unforgettably to life. Together they build into a collective picture of Britain, our past and our present, a look into the mirror of our identity at a moment when we are wondering just who we are. Combining his two great passions, British history and art history, for the first time, Schama''s extraordinary storytelling reveals the truth behind the nation''s most famous portrayals of power, love, fame, the self, and the people. Mesmerising in its breadth and its panache, and beautifully illustrated, with more than 150 images from the National Portrait Gallery, The Face of Britain will change the way we see our past - and ourselves.

Owning Up - George Melly - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Owning Up - George Melly - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This single volume includes three famous memoirs - Scouse Mouse, Rum, Bum & Concertina and Owning Up, with a new introduction by the author. Scouse Mouse is a funny and frequently touching story of the author''s 1930s childhood in a middle-class Liverpudlian household. Rum, Bum & Concertina, the naval equivalent of wine, women and song, describes Melly''s National Service as one of the most unlikely naval ratings ever. He becomes an anarchist and connoisseur of Surrealist Art while self-educating himself on some of the wilder shores of love. Once demobbed, Melly comes to London to work in an art gallery, and in Owning Up he describes how he slipped into the world of the jazz revival, revelling in an endless round of pubs, clubs, seedy guest-houses and transport caffs while surrounded by a mad array of musicians, tarts, drunks and arch-eccentrics.

**Shortlisted for the Maritime Foundation Award for Best Book 2024** ''An exceptional book. Sailing Alone belongs on the very small shelf of the true classics of the sea'' Peter Nichols, author of Sea Change and A Voyage for Madmen ''Colourful and inventive'' The Times Sailing on a boat by yourself out at sea and out of sight of land can be exhilarating or terrifying, compelling or tedious - sometimes it can be all of these things just in one morning.

But the deep ocean is also a remarkable place on which to think.Richard King''s enormously engaging and curious new book is about the debt we owe to solo sailors: women and men, young and old, who have set out alone. Spending weeks and months alone, slowly, quietly and close to the ocean surface is to create the world''s largest laboratory: an endlessly changing, capricious and startling place in which to observe oneself, the weather, the stars and myriad sea creatures, from the tiniest to the most massive and threatening.This is a book for anyone who is fascinated by sailing, solitude and the vast seas that cover so much of our planet.

''Suetonius, in holding up a mirror to those Caesars of diverting legend, reflects not only them but ourselves: half-tempted creatures, whose great moral task is to hold in balance the angel and the monster within'' GORE VIDAL As private secretary to the Emperor Hadrian, the scholar Suetonius had access to the imperial archives and used them (along with eyewitness accounts) to produce one of the most colourful biographical works in history. The Twelve Caesars chronicles the public careers and private lives of the men who wielded absolute power over Rome, from the foundation of the empire under Julius Caesar and Augustus to the decline into depravity under Nero and the recovery that came with his successors. This masterpiece of observation, immortalized in Robert Graves''s classic translation, presents us with a gallery of vividly drawn - and all too human - individuals.Translated by ROBERT GRAVESRevised with an Introduction and notes by JAMES B.
