Casa editrice: CLXBX

Sinossi

The New Jerusalem by Gilbert Keith Chesterton is a fascinating blend of travel writing, cultural observation, and philosophical reflection. Based on Chesterton's journey through the Holy Land, this insightful work explores the landscapes, history, and spiritual significance of one of the world's most influential regions.

With his trademark wit, intellectual curiosity, and vivid prose, Chesterton examines the people, traditions, and beliefs he encounters, offering observations that are both deeply personal and broadly thought-provoking. Rather than presenting a conventional travel narrative, he uses his experiences as a lens through which to consider questions of faith, civilization, history, and human identity.

Throughout the book, Chesterton reflects on the enduring influence of sacred places and the complex relationship between past and present. His unique perspective combines humor, historical insight, and philosophical depth, inviting readers to see familiar subjects from unexpected angles.

Rich in observation and reflection, The New Jerusalem remains a compelling work for readers interested in travel literature, cultural history, religious thought, and the enduring significance of the lands that have shaped civilizations and beliefs across centuries.

Ian Holloway: The (mostly)...

Ian Holloway, David Clayton

An audiobook like no other from one of the beautiful game’s most charismatic managers 
 
“From eccentric kit men to ghosts. From tea ladies to cats and dogs. From UFOs to moments in football that I will never forget – or in some cases live down…” 
 
Nobody does offbeat like Ian Holloway – known to one and all in football as ‘Ollie’. 
 
He has been dubbed as ‘inspirational’ by those who played for him, a ‘genius’ by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. 
 
Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game – and occasional feistiness – into a reflection of football that only he could provide. 
 
With over 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League – from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German 
 
youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. 
 
Add in the odd curveball of fishing, dad dancing, karaoke and his genuine love of women’s football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan.

Ten Acres Enough - A Practical...

Edmund Morris

Ten Acres Enough: The Original Small-Farm Blueprint for Profitable Independence—Now with a New Introduction  
What if financial independence didn’t require vast land, crushing debt, or industrial scale—just intelligence, discipline, and ten well-managed acres?  
First published in 1858, Ten Acres Enough by Edmund Morris is one of the most practical and quietly radical books ever written about small-scale farming, homesteading, and self-reliant living. Morris documents, in clear and methodical detail, how he escaped city dependence and built a profitable, sustainable livelihood on limited land—using careful planning, diversified production, and relentless attention to costs and returns. This is not pastoral fantasy; it is a numbers-driven case study in applied independence.  
This edition has been thoughtfully updated for modern readers. It includes a new Introduction by audiobook narrator David Allen, placing Morris’s insights in today’s economic context, and the original charts have been repositioned for smoother, more convenient reading.  
Whether you are a homesteader, small farmer, investor, or simply someone questioning the assumption that “bigger is better,” Ten Acres Enough offers a timeless, field-tested framework for doing more with less—and doing it profitably.
