  MYKONOS MADE ME DO IT - The...

  Mykonos is a place of contradictions. Billionaires dancing next to backpackers. Sunset romance followed by sunrise regret. A simple beach day that somehow becomes a three-day adventure. A calm breeze that turns into a wind that takes your wig, your dignity, and sometimes your patience. 
  In this audiobook, you will meet real people of the island. The ones who stay all year. The ones who return every summer without knowing why. The ones who swear they will never come back and then find themselves at the airport again three months later. 
  Inside, you will hear true stories, scandals that sound like fiction, cultural notes that explain why things are the way they are, and a sense of humor that comes from surviving Mykonos and still loving it anyway. This is a guide, a confession, a love letter, and a warning all at once. 
  Listen if you want to understand the island behind the glamour. Listen if you want to laugh and maybe recognize yourself in the stories. Listen if you are ready for the truth. 
  Because no matter what happens, Mykonos always wins.

  To the River - A Journey Beneath...

  Olivia Laing

  • 0

  An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK

  The Kingdom of Kush - Nubian...

  The Kingdom of Kush, an ancient African civilization, flourished along the Nile River in what is now modern-day Sudan. This powerful kingdom played a crucial role in the history of northeastern Africa, often interacting with its northern neighbor, Egypt. The land of Kush was known for its rich natural resources, strategic location, and unique cultural identity, which set it apart from other civilizations of the time. 
  Geographically, Kush was centered in the region known as Nubia, a stretch of land between the first and sixth cataracts of the Nile. This location provided fertile lands for agriculture, supported by the annual flooding of the river. Unlike Egypt, which relied heavily on the predictable flooding of the Nile, the Kushites also adapted to drier conditions, developing irrigation techniques to sustain their crops. The region was abundant in valuable resources such as gold, ivory, ebony, and exotic animal skins, making it an important trade hub in the ancient world. These resources attracted merchants from Egypt, the Mediterranean, and even as far as the Middle East, contributing to the kingdom's economic strength. 
  Kushite civilization was heavily influenced by its relationship with Egypt, but it also maintained distinct cultural and political traditions. Early Kushite settlements date back to around 2500 BCE, and by the time of the Egyptian Middle and New Kingdoms, Kush had grown into a formidable power. Egyptian pharaohs often sought control over Nubia due to its wealth, leading to periods of conquest and integration. However, Kush was not merely a passive recipient of Egyptian influence. It developed its own identity, blending Egyptian religious beliefs with native Nubian traditions, which would later be reflected in Kushite art, architecture, and burial practices.

  Shitty Breaks - A Celebration of...

  Ben Aitken

  Not everything that glitters is gold - which is why Ben Aitken went to Wolverhampton for the weekend. 
   
  Over the next year, the bestselling author of A Chip Shop in Poznan and The Gran Tour visited twelve of the least popular spots in the UK and Ireland for a city break, as ranked by national tourism boards. The motivation wasn't to take the biscuit or stick the boot in, but to seek out the good stuff, to uncover the gems, to have a nice time. By doing so, he hoped to demonstrate that anywhere - like anyone - can be interesting and nourishing and enjoyable if approached in the right fashion. 
   
  Ben went skiing in Sunderland, to the football in Wrexham, and fell in love with Dunfermline. He kissed an alpaca in Bradford, suffered jellied eels in Chelmsford, and had more craic in Limerick than was wise. The upshot is a celebration of the underdog; a hymn to the wrong direction; and evidence that there's no such thing as a shitty break. What's more, by spreading its affection beyond the usual suspects (which are often overdone and overpriced), Shitty Breaks promotes a less expensive and more sustainable brand of travel. 
   
  By going against the grain, the book champions the unsung in an algorithmic, over-signposted world dominated by celebs and hotspots. Cheeky weekend in Milton Keynes anyone?
