Bill Hicks: Agent of Evolution
￥80.25
Written by Bill Hick's lifelong friend, producer, and co-creator, Kevin Booth offers the inside story into the man who was only along for the ride for a tragically short time, yet left an indelible mark on comedy enthusiasts and freethinkers everywhere. Bill Hicks: Agent of Evolution offers a rare fly-on-the-wall insight into the life of one of Britain's most loved US comedians. Adored in the UK for his unique style of savage, hilarious comedy, the one person who knew him inside and out tells of a man whose life was just as impassioned and off-the-wall as his comedy. Even back at High School, in Houston, Texas, Kevin was Bill's co-conspirator, as they sneaked out of Bill's strict Baptist home at night, and headed for the Comedy Workshop, where at the age of fourteen, Bill was going down a storm. They virtually shared every experience – from magic mushrooms to girls, but it was their music and their vision of comedy, which bound them so closely together. Kevin produced, engineered and performed on many of Bill's recordings, and it is largely due to him, that so much of Bill's comedy is readily available on CD and video. Michael Bertin, a hugely talented author from Austin, Texas, is co-writing Kevin's fly-on-the-wall biography of Bill Hicks.
Geoff Boycott: A Cricketing Hero
￥63.18
Few modern British sportsmen have fascinated the public more than Geoff Boycott. In this first comprehensive and balanced account of Boycott’s life – fully updated to include his battle against cancer – award-winning author Leo McKinstry lifts the lid on one of cricket’s great enigmatic characters. A record-breaking Test cricketer and acerbic commentator, Geoff Boycott has never been far away from controversy during his long career in the game. Based on meticulous research and interviews with a host of players, Test captains, officials, broadcasters, friends and enemies, this definitive biography cuts through the Boycott myth to expose the truth about this charismatic, single-minded and often exasperating personality. What was Boycott like as a schoolboy? How did his England cricket colleagues such as Graham Gooch, Dennis Amiss and Brian Close feel about him as a person? Why was he so unpopular in his early career for Yorkshire? And what is the real truth about the relationships that soured his private world? From his upbringing as a miner’s son in a Yorkshire village, through highlights like his hundredth century at Headingley against Australia, to the low points such as the damaging court case in France, this warts-and-all account of his life makes for captivating reading.
The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train and Three American He
￥66.22
The 15:17 to Paris is the amazing true story of friendship and bravery, and of near tragedy averted by three heroic young men who found the unity and strength inside themselves when they – and 500 other innocent travellers – needed it most. On 21st August 2015, Ayoub El-Khazzani boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. There could be no doubt about his mission: he had an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter and enough ammunition to obliterate every passenger on board. Slipping into the bathroom in secret, he armed his weapons. Another major ISIS attack was about to begin, but Khazzani wasn’t expecting Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos and Spencer Stone. Stone was a martial arts enthusiast and airman first class in the US Air Force, Skarlatos was a member of the Oregon National Guard, and all three were fearless. But their decision, to charge the gunman, then overpower him even as he turned first his gun, then his knife, on Stone, depended on a lifetime of loyalty, support, and faith. Their friendship was forged as they came of age together in California: going to church, playing paintball, teaching each other to swear, and sticking together when they got in trouble at school. Years later, that friendship would give all of them the courage to stand in the path of one of the world's deadliest terrorist organisations.
Stuart: A Life Backwards
￥66.22
Stuart does not like the manu*. He's after a bestseller, "like what Tom Clancy writes". "But you are not an assassin trying to frazzle the president with anthrax bombs," I point out. You are an ex-homeless, ex-junkie psychopath, I do not add.' This is the story of a remarkable friendship between a reclusive writer ('a middle-class scum ponce, if you want to be honest about it, Alexander'), and Stuart Shorter, a homeless, knife-wielding thief. Told backwards -- Stuart's idea -- it starts with a deeply troubled thirty-two-year-old and ends with a 'happy-go-lucky little boy' of twelve. This brilliant biography, winner of the Guardian First Book Award, presents a humbling portrait of homeless life, and is as extraordinary and unexpected as the man it describes.

Tina Moore’s story of her life with Bobby, the triumphs and crises of his football career, the break-up of their marriage and what happened afterwards, is a moving tribute to a national icon by the person who knew him better than anyone.

九三年(英语文库)
￥19.99
本书作为我社“经典英语文库”第15辑中的一种，精选由法国著名作家维克多·雨果的经典作品《九三年》。《九三年》是雨果创作的后一部长篇小说，首次出版于1874年2月。雨果在小说中塑造了旺代叛军首领朗德纳克侯爵及其侄孙、镇压叛乱的共和军司令郭文，以及郭文的家庭教师、公安委员会特派员西穆尔登这三个中心人物，围绕他们展了错综复杂的情节，描绘了资产阶级和封建势力在1793年行殊死搏斗的历史场面。对资产阶级和封建阶级展的生死搏斗的正确描写是这本小说的基本价值所在。雨果以深邃的社会历史眼光和磅礴雄伟的气魄，用如椽的巨笔，描绘了一幅资产阶级大革命的真实生动的历史画卷。小说以旺代叛乱与平定叛乱的斗争为背景，以三个孩子的命运为线索，描写了革命与反革命、共和与保王两党之间那场血与火的惨烈严酷的内战，再现了新旧两种制度那不以人的意志为转移的殊死较量，揭露了保王势力的凶残没落，歌颂了以国民公会为代表的新生革命政权，同时也表现了作者一贯的人道主义思想。
莎士比亚传(英语文库)
￥16.99
本书作为我社“经典英语文库”第15辑中的一种，精选由法国著名作家维克多·雨果的作品《莎士比亚传》。这部“莎传”，又名《论莎士比亚》。这部书被视为“一部文艺评论专著”。实际是作者借分析莎翁表达自己的浪漫主义理想，作者是法国重要之浪漫主义大师，所以他认定莎翁也是这样的浪漫主义者。这是一代文豪用其“大心”去领悟另一代文豪的“大心”。这才是真正的“大手笔”，中文叫做“如缘巨笔”。透过书中汪洋恣肆、慧眼独具的文字，我们读到的不止是莎翁，更是整个的西洋文明，几千年传承而下之西洋人的“精神世界”。
