A Telegraph Book to Read for Autumn 2022A Times Best Non-fiction Book for Autumn 2022A Daily Mail Book of the Year 2022A Waterstones Best Book of 2022: Biography The astonishing new portrait of the master of spy fiction, by the woman he kept secret for almost half his life John le Carré led a life entirely constructed of secrets. First as a British ‘spook’ during the Cold War, then as a world-renowned writer of espionage fiction, but also in his personal involvements. He guarded his private life with fierce determination, so that even when he finally permitted his life story to be written, there was still one element he insisted be excluded: the women. Married with children for virtually all his adult life, le Carré – David Cornwell – had a number of secret affairs, usually conducted abroad with women encountered by chance on his travels. These relationships were always intense, dramatic, even tragic, yet each was destined to last no more than a few months. But there was one love affair that withstood the test of time; just one woman in all his life whom he took into the innermost sanctum of his writing and his heart. The Secret Heart is the account of Suleika Dawson’s unique and enduring love affair with John le Carré. Written with fearless honesty and insight, the book sheds a bold new light on one of the foremost British writers of the 20th century and offers an alternative measure of the man over the literary legend. Suleika Dawson's The Secret Heart is a riveting exploration of the hidden facets of a celebrated author's life, revealing a tale of enduring love that was as captivating as his award-winning crime narratives. This top-rated autobiography, a prize-winning entry among this year's collections, is a testament to the power of love and the allure of secrecy. For fans of Kate Grenville (One Life), Robert D. Kaplan (In Europe's Shadow), Oliver Soden (Jeoffry), Anne Glenconner (Whatever Next?), and David Fleming (Hellfire). HarperCollins 2022Voir livre

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Dharma in the wilderness is a poetic journey through the Aranya Kanda of the Ramayana, capturing the profound trials, divine encounters, and spiritual revelations that unfold during Rama’s exile in the forest. Through evocative and contemplative verse, this collection explores the deeper essence of dharma as it is tested in solitude, hardship, and the vast silence of the wilderness. These poems follow Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana as they wander through sacred groves, confront demons and sages, and face the looming shadows of fate. From Sita’s grace and courage in exile, to Rama’s patient endurance, to the growing storm of Ravana’s desire and deceit, every moment in the forest becomes a mirror of inner strength and cosmic balance. The wilderness is more than a backdrop—it is a living realm where choices are stripped of comfort and virtue shines through adversity. The poems reflect on renunciation, devotion, justice, temptation, and the fragility of peace in a world where good and evil are ever entwined. Dharma in the Wilderness is not just a retelling—it is a meditative exploration of the sacred tension between fate and free will, love and loss, power and principle. It speaks to the timeless human journey through uncertainty, where the soul learns to walk the quiet path of righteousness even when the road is wild and the end unknown. Ideal for seekers, poets, and lovers of ancient wisdom, this book invites you to step into the forest—not to escape the world, but to understand it more deeply.Voir livre
