Sinossi

Laurence Catlow is considered one of the finest classical flyfishing writers of our times and here he explores the themes close to an angler's heart:


* why catching two trout each time matters so much to him

* the experience of fishing in contrast to a day's shooting

* the melancholy appeal of autumn fishing

* the difference between holiday fishing and home fishing

* the secrets of a flytyer

* starting the season on the river

* big trout or little trout: why he prefers the latter

* why fishing is a lifelong joy

* fishing the mayfly
'The best flyfishing book to cross my desk this year, without a doubt. Catlow's writing is easily accessible, simple English fused into passages that flow like a chalkstream glide, littered with lines that sit in the memory long after their page has turned.' Trout Fisherman, Jeffrey Prest, 4 January

    American Caliph is a gripping, emotionally charged exploration of one of the most dramatic and forgotten hostage crises in American history. Set against the political backdrop of 1970s Washington, D.C., this riveting narrative follows the radical transformation of a man shaped by deep personal loss, religious conviction, and the desperate pursuit of justice. What begins as a spiritual rebellion explodes into a national emergency that forces the country to confront uncomfortable truths about race, faith, and institutional neglect. 
    Through cinematic storytelling and powerful insight, this audiobook reveals the untold story of the 1977 Hanafi Siege and the man who orchestrated it—not as a terrorist, but as a wounded leader demanding to be heard. Introspective, tense, and profoundly human, American Caliph challenges listeners to look beyond the headlines and ask what happens when a cry for justice is met with silence.

    While other kids were enjoying the head-bashing pleasures of tackle football, a freshly bar mitzvahed Steven Blier was inhaling operas and getting his first taste of accompanying professional singers. Beginning with impromptu piano gigs in the 1960s, Blier ascended to a dazzling career as an accompanist, teacher, and producer that has taken him to the highest reaches of artistic achievement. Today, Blier has partnered many of the brightest stars in music and thousands have fallen in love with his work via his acclaimed New York Festival of Song. 
    From Ear to Ear recounts his picaresque and unfailingly entertaining road to a successful career as a collaborative pianist, bringing to life his partnerships with iconic performers like Renée Fleming, Susan Graham, Jessye Norman, Cecilia Bartoli, and Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, and beloved mentors, including Alvin Epstein and Martha Schlamme. Drawing on his innovative work as a vocal coach and concert producer, Blier takes listeners deep into his artistic process, revealing the intricacies of song interpretation, what makes certain songs tick, and what music has meant in his life and what it can mean in anyone's. But Blier also tells a parallel story: his lifelong battle with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Aided by his intense determination, as well as his wry sense of humor, Blier continues his life at the piano.

    Random Thoughts: The Sh*t We Don’t Talk About is not your typical self-help book—because honestly, the author’s still figuring it out too. 
    Told through raw, hilarious, and uncomfortably honest essays, Joseph Tito peels back the layers of adulthood, identity, parenting, aging, and emotional chaos. One minute you’re laughing about childproof pill bottles, the next you’re quietly spiraling over your purpose in life—just like he did. And still does. 
    This audiobook is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re one meltdown away from enlightenment. It’s messy. It’s real. And it might just make you feel seen. 
    Hit play if you're ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe cry a little—in public.

    My Secret Life, the gargantuan erotic autobiography of a wealthy Victorian English gentleman has been described as 'the strangest book ever written'. Comprising one-hundred-and-eighty-four chapters and over one million words, the epic confessional describes in eloquent and explicit detail the exploits of a man (who refers to himself simply as 'Walter'), whose life was devoted to the pursuit of erotic adventure and carnal pleasure.
    
    Now for the first time in the history of this infamous erotic masterpiece, film composer Dominic Crawford Collins is producing a fully scored narration of the complete unabridged text. More 'audiofilm' than audiobook, each chapter and scene has its own unique musical accompaniment, reflecting the author's changing emotional landscape and offering the listener a truly immersive erotic audio experience.
