Sinopsis

J.M. Synge was a tireless traveller who, while celebrating the beauties of the Irish landscape, never flinched from describing the harsh, unromantic reality of rural life.

Capturing the embers of a dying culture, the great playwright walks, drinks and talks with a rich assortment of country people, offering unforgettable descriptions of the Puck Fair at Killorglin and horse-racing on the strand near Dingle, of remote cottages and isolated fishing villages.

Seamus Heaney wrote of Synge in 'Glanmore Eclogue' that heWas never happier than when he was on the roadWith people on their uppers. LonelinessWas his passport through the world. Midge-angelsOn the face of water, the first drop before thunder...His spirit lives for me in things like that.Synge's wandering spirit, as well as the farmers and tinkers, weavers and boat-builders he befriended, live on in these pages, which cannot fail to delight anyone who loves Ireland and her literature.

    In fact, I had been so extremely distraught at my own disconnection, I felt I didn’t know what was best for me – even the smallest of decisions – so much so I left decisions regarding my own life to others, since I believed they knew what is best for me. 
    The first step towards taking ownership of the direction of our life, is to open a Pandora’s box of healing and unexplored potential. 
    This book is my personal journey through a life that has taken unimaginable twists and turns. If you feel like life is just not working out the way you had planned, you are the one who holds the key to becoming unlocked. Accessing your key requires some very simple – but not easy – steps, and I invite you to take the first steps to becoming Unlocked, using my journey as a guide.

    Nobu needs no introduction. One of the world's most widely acclaimed restaurateurs, his influence on food and hospitality can be found at the highest levels of haute-cuisine to the food trucks you frequent during the work week-this is the Nobu that the public knows. 
    But now, we are finally introduced to the private Nobu: the man who failed three times before starting the restaurant that would grow into an empire; the man who credits the love and support of his wife and children as the only thing keeping him from committing suicide when his first restaurant burned down; and the man who values the busboy who makes sure each glass is crystal clear as highly as the chef who slices the fish for Omakase perfectly. 
    What makes Nobu special, and what made him famous, is the spirit of what exists on these pages. He has the traditional Japanese perspective that there is great pride to be found in every element of doing a job well-no matter how humble that job is. Furthermore, he shows us repeatedly that success is as much about perseverance in the face of adversity as it is about innate talent.

    Born in 1970s North Korea, Lucia Jang grew up in a typical household - her parents worked in the factories and the family scraped by on rations. Nightly, she bowed to her photo of Kim Il-Sung. It was the beginning of a chaotic period with a decade-long famine. Jang married an abusive man who sold their baby. She left him and went home to help her family by illegally crossing the river to China to trade goods. She was caught and imprisoned twice. After giving birth to a second child, which the government ordered to be killed, she escaped with him, fleeing under gunfire across the Chinese border. This demonstration of love and courage reflects the range of experiences many North Korean women have endured.

    Checking in at a tiny 5 foot and a massive 23 stone in weight, broadcast journalist Teena Gates was staring death in the face when a doctor's grim diagnosis shocked her into a decision that would change her life.
    A little more than a year later she had lost a massive 12 stone (more than half her body weight) and had climbed to Everest base camp and beyond to reach the summit of Kala Pattar Mountain and Island Peak in the Himalaya, topping out with a technical climb to 20,305ft.
    One Foot in Front of The Other is the story of discovering that you are ill, realising that you can change your life and grabbing health and joy against all the odds.
    It's the motivational, inspirational journey of a young woman who was resigned to leaving life behind until a spark lit up a desire to break free. It's how that passion was fuelled by a wish to say thanks to the world and share a positive message in a time of gloom. It's a story of pain, of hope, of friendship and of how far you can go by putting one foot in front of another.
