Synopsis

Emmanuel-Auguste-Dieudonné Las Cases' "Memoirs of the Life, Exile, and Conversations of the Emperor Napoleon" stands as a compelling historical account, blending personal narrative with political discourse. Structured in four comprehensive volumes, this work captures not only the tumultuous life of Napoleon Bonaparte but also the nuanced reflections of Las Cases himself, who served as a confidant during the Emperor's exile on the island of Saint Helena. The literary style is intimate, marked by detailed descriptions and earnest dialogues that illuminate Napoleon's character, ambitions, and the implications of his reign within the broader context of European history. Las Cases, a French nobleman and historian, developed a profound admiration for Napoleon, shaped by his own experiences during France's revolutionary era. His deep understanding of political thought and loyalty to Napoleon prompted him to document their conversations meticulously, providing an invaluable perspective on a figure whose legacy profoundly influenced the course of modern history. His status as both an insider and reflective commentator enhances the authenticity of the memoirs. This work is essential for readers interested in Napoleon's multifaceted persona and the interplay of power and exile. The memoirs serve not just as a historical account, but as a philosophical inquiry into leadership, loyalty, and the burdens of tyranny, making it a must-read for historians, literary enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of one of history's most iconic figures.

    Ticket to the World is a joyous, nostalgic celebration of 80s culture from one man at the centre of it all.  
    New Year’s Eve, 1979. My family and I stand arm in arm around our Formica kitchen table, counting down to the new decade with each televised chime of Big Ben. We have no idea what is about to hit us, no idea of the seismic waves of change approaching. 
    The 80s transformed life as we knew it. Music, style and culture exploded in a haze of dayglo colour. There were hardships, but there were opportunities too. And I lived through – and helped to shape – Britain’s last real youth movement. 
    Ticket to the World is my time-warp trip down memory lane, reliving that truly unforgettable decade. Join me as I recall what it was like to lead the New Romantics, stay up all night at the Blitz with Sade and Boy George, travel the world with Spandau Ballet and contribute to the era-defining Live Aid. 
    So, grab that glass of Babycham and let’s toast the very best of the 80s: the creativity and the culture, the fashion and the FUN! 
    In this riveting autobiography, Martin Kemp takes us on a personal journey through the famous and popular culture of the 80s. His memoirs are a rich tapestry of entertainment, social changes, and performing arts that defined the era. 
    For fans of Shirlie Kemp (Pepsi & Shirlie), Phil Collins (Not Dead Yet), Linda Calvey (Life Inside), Elton John (Watford Forever), and Richard E. Grant (A Pocketful of Happiness).

    Peter Murtagh decided it was time to embark on 'The Great Retirement Project' - riding a motorbike from Tierra Del Fuego at the very southern tip of South America, to the most northerly point in Alaska, alone and without the pressure of any deadline.
    Aged 69, just him, a tent, a bike and a sleeping bag.
    En route, Peter explored magical, wonderful and extraordinarily out-of-the-way parts of our bruised world, met incredible people from all walks of life and observed a great swathe of the Americas. Travelling alone on the 45,000km journey allowed him a rare opportunity to disconnect from hectic daily life and to embrace the solitude, challenge and peace-of-mind of the road less travelled.
    From Tip to Top is a story of optimism and hope and the adventure of a lifetime, and is a ground-level portrait of the Americas as we rarely see them.
