Sinossi

Published in 1915, Edward Thomas's "Windsor Castle" intertwines the realms of poetry and prose within a rich tapestry of evocative imagery and introspective narrative. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Windsor Castle, Thomas employs a contemplative style that delicately captures the nuances of nature and memory. Through finely crafted observations, he explores themes of time, history, and the transient beauty of existence, drawing readers into a world where the personal and the historical converge. His deeply lyrical prose reflects both a vivid sense of place and a profound connection to the English landscape, aligning with the tradition of the Edwardian literary movement. Edward Thomas, an influential figure in early 20th-century literature, often drew inspiration from his deep affinity with nature and his own experiences as a wanderer and poet. His personal struggles, particularly with the weight of societal expectations and his eventual commitment to serving in World War I, imbued his writings with a sense of longing and existential inquiry. "Windsor Castle," written during a period of transformation in his life, exemplifies his growth as a writer who sought to forge a genuine connection between human experience and the natural world. For readers seeking an introspective exploration of place and identity, "Windsor Castle" is a remarkable invitation to engage with the beauty of the everyday while reflecting on the deeper currents of personal and historical significance. Thomas's work resonates profoundly, making it essential for those who appreciate literature that harmonizes lyrical beauty with thoughtful contemplation.

    Breaking the global record for streams in a single day, nearly 10 million people around the world tuned in to hear Kendrick Lamar’s sophomore album in the hours after its release. To Pimp a Butterfly was widely hailed as an instant classic, garnering laudatory album reviews, many awards, and even a canonized place in Harvard’s W. E. B. Du Bois archive. Why did this strangely compelling record stimulate the emotions and imaginations of listeners?This book takes a deep dive into the sounds, images, and lyrics of To Pimp a Butterfly to suggest that Kendrick appeals to the psyche of a nation in crisis and embraces the development of a radical political conscience. Kendrick breathes fresh life into the Black musical protest tradition and cultivates a platform for loving resistance. Combining funk, jazz, and spoken word, To Pimp a Butterfly’s expansive sonic and lyrical geography brings a high level of innovation to rap music. More importantly, Kendrick’s introspective and philosophical songs compel us to believe in a future where, perhaps, we gon’ be alright.

    50th Anniversary Edition. Paperback.
    'In the sharply formal conversations of the stonemen, the bittersweet flavour of provincial Ireland is presented with neither sentiment nor adornment.' —William Trevor, The Guardian
    'The men who have gone before us have left us a heritage to be proud of; and we feel our own contribution has been for the good.' —Seamus Murphy, from the preface to Stone Mad.
    In 'Stone Mad' Seamus Murphy tells the story of his seven years spent as an apprentice to the stone carving trade, the growing knowledge of the challenges and joys of stone – and of the men who worked it. His artistic feeling for the quality responded to his workmates' reverence for 'the well made thing'. The result is a book of surpassing beauty, full of warmth, humour and profound perception.

    Vincent Paterson began his professional dancing career late in life. It would take an exceptional turn when he became one of the lead dancers in Michael Jackson's Beat It music video.
