Summary

Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" is a masterpiece of Russian literature, exploring themes of faith, morality, and family dynamics. The novel is known for its complex characters and psychological depth, evident in the interactions between the three Karamazov brothers as they navigate their relationships with each other and their father. Dostoevsky's writing style is rich in symbolism and philosophical musings, making this work a classic of existential literature. Set in 19th-century Russia, the book reflects the societal and political turmoil of the time, adding another layer of depth to the narrative. Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist and philosopher, drew on his own experiences and beliefs to create the multifaceted characters and moral dilemmas in "The Brothers Karamazov." His profound understanding of human nature and existential questions is evident throughout the novel, offering readers a thought-provoking journey into the complexities of the human psyche. I highly recommend "The Brothers Karamazov" to readers interested in philosophical literature, complex character studies, and intricate explorations of morality. Dostoevsky's timeless work continues to captivate and challenge readers across generations, making it a must-read for anyone seeking intellectual stimulation and emotional depth in their reading choices.

'An inspiring read' Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio 5 Live
A powerful tale of a family in crisis, and a moving love letter to the NHS.
Herat, Afghanistan, 2000. A mother speaks out against the fundamentalist leaders of her country. Meanwhile, her family's watchful eyes never leave their beloved son and brother, whose rare heart condition means that he will never lead a normal life.
When the Taliban gave an order for the execution of Hamed Amiri's mother, the family knew they had to escape, starting what would be a long and dangerous journey, across Russia and through Europe, with the UK as their ultimate destination.

Travelling as refugees for a year and a half, they suffered attacks from mafia and police; terrifying journeys in strangers' cars; treks across demanding terrain; days spent hidden in lorries without food or drink; and being robbed at gunpoint of every penny they owned.

The family's need to reach the UK was intensified by their eldest son's deteriorating condition, and the prospect of life-saving treatment it offered.
The Boy with Two Hearts is not only a tale of a family in crisis, but a love letter to the NHS, which provided hope and reassurance as they sought asylum in the UK and fought to save their loved ones.

    “Charming . . . Connolly recounts growing up a scrappy Montana kid—one who happened to be born without legs. . . . an empowering read.” —People 
 
Kevin Connolly has been an object of curiosity since the day he was born without legs. Growing up in rural Montana, he was raised like any other kid (except, that is, for his father’s MacGyver-like contraptions such as the “butt boot”). As a college student, Kevin traveled to seventeen countries on his skateboard, including Bosnia, China, Ukraine, and Japan. In an attempt to capture the stares of others, he took more than 30,000 photographs of people staring at him. In this dazzling memoir, Kevin Connolly casts the lens inward to explore how we view ourselves and what it is to truly see another person. From the home of his family in Helena, Montana, to the streets of Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur, Kevin’s remarkable journey will change the way you look at others, and the way you see yourself.

    Sheridan Morley writes: "When my father died at eighty-four on the morning of Derby Day 1992 (one of the few he ever missed), he and I had been together for just over fifty years. In the immediate aftermath of his sudden death, I knew two things; how much I would always miss the sheer joy of his company, and how much I wanted to write about him, if only to explain to myself and my children the life and career of the last great Boulevardier of his or any other time."  This critical and revealing biography is also an attempt to find out what it meant to be Robert Morley, and to be his elder son.

    The man behind the Real Housewives writes about his lifelong love affair with pop culture that brought him from the suburbs of St. Louis to his own television show. 
From a young age, Andy Cohen knew two things: He was gay, and he loved television. Now presiding over Bravo's reality—TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop-culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children—and to his mother, who received daily letters from him while he was at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television. The journey begins with Andy interviewing his all-time idol Susan Lucci for his college newspaper and ends with him in a job where he has a hand in creating today's celebrity icons. In the witty, no-holds-barred style of his show Watch What Happens: Live, Cohen tells tales of absurd network-news mishaps, hilarious encounters with the heroines of his youth, and the real stories behind the Real Housewives. Dishy, funny, and full of heart, Most Talkative provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the world of television, from a fan who grew up watching the screen and is now inside the TV, both making shows and hosting his own.A Macmillan Audio production.
