Neil Lennon: Man and Bhoy
￥73.58
Captain of Celtic and midfield enforcer for Northern Ireland, Neil Lennon is one of the most controversial figures in British football. His story is an extraordinary tale of religious bigotry, life-threatening career injury, tumultuous football success at club level, and of the remarkable events that led him to turn his back on his country. The first Northern Irish Roman Catholic to play for Celtic and to be chosen to captain his country, Lennon was sensationally forced to quit the captaincy even before he took the field following death threats by Loyalist paramilitaries. In Northern Ireland, the words ‘Neil Lennon RIP’ were painted on a wall near his family home, while in Scotland, he has been the target of vicious verbal and physical assault by fans of Old Firm rivals Rangers – including being mugged on the street and hung in effigy. Now he will give his side of these stories, revealing in full the terrible consequences of the religious hatred that has tainted his career. Lennon will write of his Leicester years under Martin O’Neill, and how the Midlands club defied bigger rivals by maintaining their Premiership League status and winning two League Cups. He will also tell the inside story of Celtic under O’Neill; how his ?5 million transfer to Parkhead nearly didn’t happen; his wrongful arrest on a club night out; lifting the domestic treble in a glorious first season with Celtic, and the continued revival of the club to the point where they reached the UEFA Cup Final (narrowly losing out to a Jose Mourinho-inspired Porto); and his relationship with current boss Gordon Strachan and the team’s successful season in 2005/06. As he approaches the twilight of his playing career, Lennon has decided the time is right to reveal all about his life on the field – including his horrific spinal injury and his less than happy apprenticeships at Motherwell and Manchester City – as well as his hitherto closely guarded private life, including his battle with depression. It’s a book that will shock football to its core.
Daphne du Maurier and her Sisters
￥73.58
Celebrated novelist Daphne Du Maurier and her sisters, eclipsed by her fame, are revealed in all their surprising complexity in this riveting new biography. The middle sister in a famous artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier is one of the master storytellers of our time, author of ‘Rebecca’, ‘Jamaica Inn’ and ‘My Cousin Rachel’, and short stories, ‘Don’t Look Now’ and the terrifying ‘The Birds’ among many. Her stories were made memorable by the iconic films they inspired, three of them classic Hitchcock chillers. But it was her sisters, writer Angela and artist Jeanne,who found the courage to defy the conventions that hampered Daphne’s emotional life. In this group biography they are considered side by side, as they were in life, three sisters who grew up during the 20th century in the glamorous hothouse of a theatrical family dominated by a charismatic and powerful father. This family dynamic reveals the hidden world of the three sisters – Piffy, Bird & Bing, as they were known to each other – full of social non-conformity, love, rivalry and compulsive make-believe, their lives as psychologically complex as a Daphne du Maurier novel.
Power and Glory: Jacobean England and the Making of the King James Bible (Text o
￥73.58
A fascinating, lively account of the making of the King James Bible. James VI of Scotland – now James I of England – came into his new kingdom in 1603. Trained almost from birth to manage rival political factions, he was determined not only to hold his throne, but to avoid the strife caused by religious groups that was bedevilling most European countries. He would hold his God-appointed position and unify his kingdom. Out of these circumstances, and involving the very people who were engaged in the bitterest controversies, a book of extraordinary grace and lasting literary appeal was created: the King James Bible. 47 scholars from Cambridge, Oxford and London translated the Bible, drawing from many previous versions, and created what many believe to be the greatest prose work ever written in English – the product of a culture in a peculiarly conflicted era. This was the England of Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson and Bacon; but also of extremist Puritans, the Gunpowder plot, the Plague, of slum dwellings and crushing religious confines. Quite how this astonishing translation emerges is the central question of this book. Far more than Shakespeare, this Bible helped to create and shape the language. It is the origin of many of our most familiar phrases, and the foundations of the English-speaking world. It was a generous and deliberate decision to make the Bible available to the common man: not an immediate commercial success, but which later became a bestseller, and has remained one ever since. Adam Nicolson gives a fascinating and dramatic account of the early years of the first Stewart ruler, and the scholars who laboured for seven years to create the world's greatest book; immersing us in a world of ingratiating bishops, a fascinating monarch and London at a time unlike any other.

Poemele lui Marius Aldea sunt inteligent-fanteziste i dau o senzaie de prospeime, dei refolosete, frecvent, i mijloace de seducie inventate de Nichita Stnescu, Emil Brumaru, Mircea Dinescu. Marius Aldea are o plcere de a scrie care face ca tot ce mprumut s devin al lui.“ – Alex tefnescu Marius tefan Aldea face parte din plutonul tinerilor poei crora li se flfie de generaia imediat anterioar, ns nu li se deloc de generaiile vechi. Vd i prevd o promoie de poei lucizi i cultivai printre care compozitorul Simfoniei frnei va strluci. Pentru c are umor, deci i permite s fie cinic, i pentru c izbutete nite metafore trsnite, dar fluente, nu rscutate. Apoi ochiul su este flmnd i precis, nu hoinrete pe firmament pn se ntoarce cu albul n sus. Viteza, claritatea i subtilitatea artei lui monteaz un spectacol inteligent – un deliciu pentru durii ca el, care, de fapt, ascund un suflet sensibil n spatele rictusului sceptic. Un romantic de factur excelent este Marius, adic dintre aceia cu witz, care muc tot, iar apoi se muc pe ei nii. Irezistibil poezia asta ca un roman scris la col de strad de un designer care tie exact ce vrea de la manechinele lui.“ – Felix Nicolau Marius tefan Aldea are atta energie poetic, nct exist riscul s supratensioneze Sistemul Naional de Distribuie a Literaturii. Dar cum SNDL nu exist dect n imaginaia noastr, nu v rmne, dragi cititori, dect s v conectai singuri la aceast surs de energie. E simplu: deschidei cartea lui Marius i citii puin. Dac nu suntei purttori de mnui izolante i cizme de cauciuc, ar trebui ca n secunda a doua s fii scuturai zdravn, iar minile s vi se ncleteze pe carte. E doar unul dintre efectele pe care l are poezia bun asupra omului.“ – Robert erban

Pisicile r?zboinice. Cartea a V-a - O cale primejdioas?
￥73.49
Selecia prozatorilor din comunism se cere ceva mai struitor argumentat dect cea a prozatorilor interbelici (termen uzual, dar neacoperitor, pentru c includem n aceast perioad i vremurile de rzboi). Exemplaritatea, aici, e motivat de valoarea, originalitatea, insolitul, atipicitatea (stranietatea, cu termenul lui Harold Bloom) epicii. Urmresc – o spun riscnd simplificarea – fondul autohton i forma universal. Dau prioritate experimentului, dac nnoirea este substanial, se integreaz n – i face sau ncearc diferena de – epica occidental. Fac o concesie cu M. Preda, prozatorul emblematic al unei epoci istorice ntunecate (cu toate nuanele de ntuneric i rarele ei strfulgerri de lumin). Previn uor reproul de a ocoli n selecie prozatori care abia dac debutau sau publicau primele cri pn n 1989.“ – Marian Victor Buciu

Am adunat n aceast carte momente din viaa public, ncercnd s refac, din ceea ce a selectat memoria, traseul profesional care m-a adus de la catedra de fizic la ipostaza de candidat pentru preedinie. Am inclus n ea i lucruri personale, dar nu am fcut-o neaprat pentru a rspunde curiozitii celorlali. Am recuperat acele ntmplri, ntlniri sau detalii care au spus ceva despre felul n care m-am format, despre valorile pe care le-am preuit. Identitatea mea personal a umplut, prin intermediul faptelor, dar i prin aceste principii n care am crezut, rolul de persoan public pe care l-am ocupat mai bine de paisprezece ani. Momentele n care am descoperit un adevr, intervalele n care am nvat lucruri importante, despre mine sau despre oamenii din jurul meu, i-au adus de fiecare dat ceva i profilului meu public. Tot ceea ce am dobndit i tot ceea ce am neles de-a lungul unei viei cu destul de multe mpliniri a lucrat n sprijinul profesionistului care am vrut s ajung. Viaa mea privat a fost, pentru cei mai muli, invizibil. De fapt, ca orice om, mi-am folosit n public tot ceea ce am descoperit ca fiind valoros n viaa simpl, de zi cu zi: calmul, discreia, nelegerea. Au fost bunuri preioase, pe care am vrut s le protejez ca s le pot cultiva n continuare. Nu cred c, dezvluindu-le sursa, le pun n pericol.“ Klaus Iohannis

n aceast carte, ncerc, de fapt, s-mi schimb instrumentele i felul de a scrie critic literar. Pentru c nsi condiia criticii literare s-a schimbat. Dintr-un gen diurn, care atingea o maxim strlucire – vezi explozia ei, din deceniile ’60 – ’80, cnd devenise genul dominant al literaturii –, critica a devenit o disciplin aproape subversiv, practicat pe ascuns (n Universitate) sau n locuri dosnice (revistele literare, care au – toate – tiraje confideniale). Critica s-a transformat, aadar, fr sa vrea, ntr-un gen nocturn, practicat de lunatici“ i accesibil numai acestora. Tinerii scriitori i refuz diagnosticul, cei mai vrstnici se supr dac nu sunt ludai peste msur, iar presa i d cu tifla, subliniind n orice mprejurare superioritatea (i avantajele) publicitii, n raport cu desueta judecat de valoare. i aceasta, deoarece acea splendid explozie a metodelor de lectur, a formelor i modalitilor critice, din deceniile anterioare, a sectuit de fapt disciplina. i a multiplicat la nesfrit posibilitile interpretrii, pn cnd nelesul textului literar a devenit cu totul obscur i, n fond, chiar facultativ. Totul este pus sub semnul ntrebrii, iar sacrosancta valoare estetic, pe care jura critica modernist, a fost de mult relegat din discursul critic. Care discurs ncepe s semene, astfel, cu o noapte adnc, n care mai plpie, ici-colo, asemenea unor stele palide, rmiele unor certitudini. (Rzvan Voncu)

Ronnie Biggs - The Inside Story
￥73.48
Ronnie Biggs: The Inside Story, written by two of Ronnie Biggs's closest friends and most ardent supporters, delivers exactly what it says on the label, giving a very personal, unique and yet disturbing insight into the mind and subsequent treatment by the judicial and penal systems of the man that became a legendary household name for his role in one of Britain's most notorious crimes, the Great Train Robbery of 1963, and his subsequent life on the run upon his escape from prison in 1965. Raising pointed questions and dispelling many myths, the story makes one wonder who is the greater criminal: the carpenter that played a bit part in an unarmed robbery 45 years ago, who has remained incarcerated since his return to the UK in 2001 despite the fact that he is now a frail, wheelchair-bound 79-year-old grandfather who is no threat to society, is fed via a tube to his stomach and can only communicate by pointing to letters on a laminated sheet; or the justice and prison systems that have allowed him to rot in jail for so long. One thing's for sure, although Ronnie Biggs's body is letting him down after a series of strokes and other illnesses, his legal team, campaign supporters, underworld friends and devoted family certainly aren't, and neither is his own fighting spirit or his humanity in the face of inhumanity. All he wants now is to be able to die a free man rather than suffer "e;a slow crucifixion on the Home Office cross"e;, and once all the facts have been digested one can only be moved to ask: "e;How could anyone deny him that?"e;
