  This book explores how hope operates as an ambivalent force in relation to issues of sex and gender, power, and identity in both our private and public lives. 
   
  The author blends her deep knowledge of psychotherapy and mental health with cultural and philosophical understanding to consider how we have reached our current dilemmas around sex and gender, race, power and identity. Psychoanalysis is put to task in relation to clinical practice, literature, feminism, politics, and the understandings of how our personal lives and selves interact with the wider cultural moment we are living through. She explores these issues with compassion and understanding and offers a vision of how we may be able to navigate through widely varying perspectives to a new way of envisioning hope today, as both a false promise and a real and necessary component in our lives and within the clinical encounter. 
   
  Drawing on clinical psychoanalytic work as well as literature and memoir, this is essential listening for anyone wanting a psychoanalytically informed understanding of where society is on key issues and where we may be able to get to with hope.

  Thus Spake Zarathustra

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  Could it be possible? This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
   
  The ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from a life of solitude on the mountain to announce to the world that God has been supplanted by the "Superman", the divine in human form. In one of the most radical and influential works of modern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche lays out the new standards of morality after the "death of God".
   
  Frequently misrepresented (and hijacked to dangerous purpose by Nazi intellectuals), Thus Spake Zarathustra is a work of profound brilliance and poetic mastery which still provides meaning in today's complex and changing world.

  Named 2018 Book of the Year by International Rubery Book Award  
  The Edge of Innocence is a work of narrative nonfiction based on the 1964 murder trial of Casper Bennett, a man accused of drowning his wife in a bathtub of scalding water in Lorain, Ohio. Bennett's sensational trial pitted an aggressive, mercurial county prosecutor against the author's father, a civil trial attorney who had never before defended anyone for murder.  
  The book not only recreates the tension and excitement of this courtroom battle but also highlights the uncertain edge that often divides guilt from innocence. The author was ten years old when he answered the phone late at night when Bennett called his father from jail, seeking his legal representation.  
  Forty years later and long after his father's death, the author found the Bennett file in the bottom of his mother's closet. From the moment he began reading the papers, the long-forgotten drama cast a spell on him. As he uncovered more and more of the facts, the story he had known as a child disappeared, replaced by one far different.  
  The Edge of Innocence takes the listener through the criminal justice system and ultimately to the trial, where the listener, like a juror, must sift through competing claims and conflicting evidence. Full of twists and turns and colorful characters, The Edge of Innocence is all the more entertaining because it tells a true story.

  Winner of the Pushkin House Book Prize 2023 
  *A Telegraph Book of the Year*  
  A Times Best Book of Summer 2023 
  *Shortlisted for the Parliamentary Book Awards* 
  An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol. 
  The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why? 
  Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky. 
  Using the accounts of current and former insiders from the Kremlin and its propaganda machine, the testimony of captured Russian soldiers and on-the-ground reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Overreach tells the story not only of the war’s causes but how the first six months unfolded. 
  With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked Europe to its core. 
  In Overreach, Owen Matthews masterfully unravels the complex tapestry of history, geopolitics, and conflicts that have defined the Soviet Union. This top-tier work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the wars and crimes that have shaped our world. 
  For fans of Simon Scarrow (The Honour of Rome), Antony Beevor (Russia), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Mark Galeotti (Russia’s Wars in Chechnya), and Robert Peston (WTF?).
