Stillness is the Key: An Ancient Strategy for Modern Life
Throughout history, there has been one quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world.Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, Holiday shows us how crucial stillness is, and how it can be cultivated in our own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction.Stillness is the key to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.
Satantango
Translated by George SzirtesFrom the winner of the Man Booker International PrizeIn the darkening embers of a Communist utopia, life in a desolate Hungarian town has come to a virtual standstill. Flies buzz, spiders weave, water drips and animals root desultorily in the barnyard of a collective farm.But when the charismatic Irimias - long-thought dead - returns, the villagers fall under his spell. Irimias sets about swindling the villagers out of a fortune that might allow them to escape the emptiness and futility of their existence. He soon attains a messianic aura as he plays on the fears of the townsfolk and a series of increasingly brutal events unfold.

Intensive Care
13 January, 2020.A bulletin from Health Protection Scotland is sent to all GP practices, describing a 'novel Wuhan coronavirus'. It was the first time I'd heard of the virus. 'Current reports describe no evidence of significant human to human transmission, including no infections of healthcare workers,' it says, reassuringly.As COVID-19 has ripped across the globe, crossing borders and crashing markets, it has already cost tens of thousands their lives. But as we wait to discover the full effects of the pandemic, one thing is already clear: on the frontlines of the crisis are our healthcare workers.In Notes on a Crisis , doctor Gavin Francis will take you beyond the headlines to the bedsides of those suffering most, from his GP surgery in Edinburgh to the homeless charity where he volunteers. And inside this compelling narrative of missed opportunities, tragedies and occasional triumphs, he weaves the wider history of medical practice, pandemics and vaccines.Full of compassion, this deeply personal account of a doctor's experiences during the darkest of times is also an intelligent study of what pandemics can do to us - and what we can do about them.
How Language Began: The Story of Humanity’s Greatest Invention
In his groundbreaking new book Daniel Everett seeks answers to questions that have perplexed thinkers from Plato to Chomsky: when and how did language begin? What is it? And what is it for?Daniel Everett confounds the conventional wisdom that language originated with Homo sapiens 150,000 years ago and that we have a 'language instinct'. Drawing on evidence from a wide range of fields, including linguistics, archaeology, biology, anthropology and neuroscience, he shows that our ancient ancestors, Homo erectus, had the biological and mental equipment for speech one and half million years ago, and that their cultural and technological achievements (including building ocean-going boats) make it overwhelmingly likely they spoke some kind of language.How Language Began sheds new light on language and culture and what it means to be human and, as always, Daniel Everett spices his account with incident and anecdote. His book is convincing, arresting and entertaining.
Emperor of Rome
A sweeping account of the social and political world of the Roman emperors by “the world’s most famous classicist” ( Guardian ). In her international bestseller SPQR , Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, such as the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? She tracks down the emperor at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven. She introduces his wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers―and the ordinary people who pressed begging letters into his hands.Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before. 160 images: 16-page color insert
Breaking & Mending
One of the most beautiful books you will ever read' Kate MosseIn this powerful memoir, Joanna Cannon tells her story as a junior doctor in visceral, heart-rending snapshots.We walk with her through the wards, facing extraordinary and daunting moments: from attending her first post-mortem, sitting with a patient through their final moments, to learning the power of a well- or badly chosen word. These moments, and the small sustaining acts of kindness and connection that punctuate hospital life, teach her that emotional care and mental health can be just as critical as restoring a heartbeat.In a profession where weakness remains a taboo, this moving, beautifully written book brings to life the vivid, human stories of doctors and patients - and shows us why we need to take better care of those who care for us.
Being Mortal
For most of human history, death was a common, ever-present possibility. It didn't matter whether you were five or fifty - every day was a roll of the dice. But now, as medical advances push the boundaries of survival further each year, we have become increasingly detached from the reality of being mortal. So here is a book about the modern experience of mortality - about what it's like to get old and die, how medicine has changed this and how it hasn't, where our ideas about death have gone wrong. With his trademark mix of perceptiveness and sensitivity, Atul Gawande outlines a story that crosses the globe, as he examines his experiences as a surgeon and those of his patients and family, and learns to accept the limits of what he can do. Never before has aging been such an important topic. The systems that we have put in place to manage our mortality are manifestly failing: but, as Gawande reveals, it doesn't have to be this way. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death, but
Babel: Around the World in 20 Languages
If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in Babel, you could talk with three quarters of the world's population. But what makes these languages stand out amid the world's estimated 6,500 tongues?Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness. He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans. He even explains how their grammars order their speakers' worldview.Combining linguistics and cultural history, Babel takes us on an intriguing tour of the world, addressing such questions as how tiny Portugal spawned a major world language and Holland didn't, why Japanese women talk differently from men, what it means for Russian to be 'related' to English, and how non-alphabetic scripts, such as those of India and China, do the same job as our 26 letters. Not to mention the conundrums of why Vietnamese has four forms for 'I', or how Tamil pronouns keep humans and deities apart.Babel will change the way you look at the world and how we all speak.
Am I Normal?
Before the nineteenth century, the term normal was rarely ever associated with human behaviour. Normal was a term used in maths: people weren't normal - triangles were. But from the 1830s, this branch of science really took off across Europe and North America, with a proliferation of IQ tests, sex studies, a census of hallucinations - even a UK beauty map (which concluded the women in Aberdeen were "the most repellent"). This book tells the surprising history how the very notion of the normal came about, how it shaped us all, often while entrenching oppressive values. Sarah Chaney looks at why we're still asking the internet: Do I have a normal body? Is my sex life normal? Are my kids normal? And along the way, she challenges why we ever thought it might be a desirable thing to be.

Une scène de théâtre, quelques hommes et des chœurs parlés suffisent ici à faire résonner de mille façons la guerre dans ce qu’elle a d’universellement tragique.Kateb Yacine (1929-1989) est l’un des principaux fondateurs de la littérature maghrébine moderne de langue française.

Le Polygone étoilé (Points)
Dans une suite de poèmes, de dialogues et de rêveries, Kateb Yacine mêle les thèmes essentiels de sa vie et de l’histoire de l’Algérie : la douleur de la colonisation, le lien maternel, le pouvoir des mots et les charmes de Nedjma, dessinant progressivement la figure du « polygone étoilé ». Au carrefour du roman, de la poésie et du théâtre, ce livre est au coeur de la littérature algérienne moderne.Poète, romancier, journaliste et militant pour l’indépendance de l’Algérie, son thème de prédilection, Kateb Yacine (1929-1989) est notamment l’auteur de L’Homme aux sandales de caoutchouc, Le Cercle des représailles et Nedjma, tous trois disponibles en Points.« Il est le Rimbaud de la colère noire et de la misère saignée à blanc. »Le Nouvel Observateur
Le Cercle des représailles
En 1955, lorsque parut Le Cadavre encerclé, pièce écrite par un jeune écrivain algérien inconnu, la violence d'un cri et le timbre particulier d'une voix se faisaient entendre. Cette voix, c'était celle de Kateb Yacine, qui s'est imposé, depuis, comme un des plus grands écrivains de la littérature maghrébine contemporaine.Dans cet ensemble théâtral, constitué de deux tragédies et d'une farce, que clot un poème dramatique, Yacine nous donne à entendre une Algérie omniprésente, sombre et poétique, divisée par les guerres mais unie dans l'amour d'une même terre. En elle s'expand le chant profond d'un peuple tout entier et de sa destinée.Préface de Edouard Glissant
