  THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
  A guide for living outdoors and communing with the natural world—under the open skies. 
  ""I believe in sleeping outdoors, surrounded by tall fir trees, darkness and cold. Lying on my back and looking up at the stars, watching my breath form thin clouds."" 
  Under the Open Skies is one man’s perspective-shifting, immersive journey into the wilds of northern Sweden and into his own soul.   
  For four years, Markus Torgeby lived alone in a hut he built with his hands in the Jämtland forest on the northern tip of Sweden, reconnecting with nature, and healing from the stress and strain of urban life and an athletic career derailed by injury. 
  For Markus, living in the forest provided something concrete—cool winter air on his face, a cotton canvas of clouds overhead, wet clothes drying over the fire. Free from the constraints of modernity, his only responsibilities were the basics of survival—shelter, heat, food. Rooted on the ground under a bed of leaves, with his head finally aligned with his body, Markus found the solitude and silence he needed to be reborn. 
  In this moving elegy, Markus offers lessons both practical—how to make fire, how to craft an outdoor bed, how to tap trees for water—and profound—what it means to become one with the natural world, to live authentically, to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Under the Open Skies is as invigorating as a long hike on a brisk morning and as sublime as a bowl of cinnamon porridge at the end of a long day. It is an invitation—to the stressed, disconnected, and lonely, to all who yearn to unplug and slow down, to those who wonder how life got so complicated—to come home to nature, to open the mind and heart to the wide-open sky. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  REVISED AND EXPANDED AND BESSER THAN EVER! 
  For more than six decades, Joe Besser brought gales of laughter to millions—in vaudeville, on Broadway, on radio, in motion pictures, and on television. From his days working as a bumbling assistant to the world-famous Thurston the Magician, he carved out success with his own act—that of a childlike sissy who brandished his foils with a flick of the wrist and such hilarious verbal assaults as “Ooh, you crazy you!” and “Not so f-a-s-t!” From stage to film and television screens, the famed roly-poly comedian left an indelible mark–from starring in his own feature films and short-subject series for Columbia Pictures, to dishing out huge laughs on scores of popular programs of the day, most notably as the malevolent brat “Stinky” on The Abbott and Costello Show, to stepping in to replace Shemp Howard after his death as a member of Three Stooges comedy team. Followed by countless more laugh out-loud performances in movies and on television, from playing the frustrated superintendent, Jillson, on The Joey Bishop Show to voicing Saturday morning cartoons, his legacy still lives on today, thanks to reruns of his classic work. Illustrating a passing age of American humor, ONCE A STOOGE, ALWAYS A STOOGE tells the whole story. Jam-packed with timeless remembrances, Besser vividly recounts it all–the personal ups and downs, the classic skits and routines that became his hallmark, and behind-the-scenes stories of show business icons who enriched his life and career, including Abbott and Costello, Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Olsen and Johnson, and many others, in this charming and thoughtfully written memoir.

  Ella D'Arcy - A Short Story...

  Ella D'Arcy

  Ella D'Arcy was born on 23rd August 1857 in London, one of nine children.  
   
  Her education spanned London, Germany, France and the Channel Islands. A student of fine art, her poor eyesight meant a switch to literature was needed and with this she had hopes to be an author. 
   
  She worked as a contributor and unofficial editor, alongside Henry Harland, to The Yellow Book, Aubrey Beardsley’s sensational quarterly magazine that combined art, stories, poetry, essays and much else besides.  D'Arcy wrote several stories for the magazine and her stories have an undeniable psychological and realist style through her engagement with various themes from marriage, the family, imitation through to deception.  
   
  Recognition of her talents grew after the publication of ‘Irremediable’, in the Yellow Book, where it received much praise from critics.   
   
  She also wrote and published in the Argosy, Blackwood's Magazine, and Temple Bar.  
   
  However, D’Arcy’s canon was small and, apart from her magazine stories, her book publishing was limited to ‘Monochromes’ (1895), ‘Modern Instances’ and ‘The Bishop’s Dilemma’ (1898). She also translated André Maurois's biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley entitled ‘Ariel’ (1924). 
   
  Her diligence with work aside she was notorious for her inability to maintain relationships with friends.  When she did appear to them it was often unannounced.  This earned her the sobriquet 'Goblin Ella.' 
   
  D'Arcy spent much of her life living alone, though she had a constant urge to travel, but usually she resided on the edge of poverty. Her writing was often motivated by this need. 
   
  Much of her later life was spent in Paris before returning to London in 1937, where she died, in hospital, on 5th September 1937.

  What happens when the company you built from nothing becomes worth millions, and you're not sure if you should sell your soul along with it? Accidentally Sold the Business I Built is the raw, unfiltered story of an entrepreneur who started with ₹15,000, a 120-square-foot room, and a stubborn dream that education could be built with heart, not just capital. From delivering pizzas to survive his first failure, to building Intellect Educare into a movement that transformed thousands of lives through classrooms, blood donation camps, and child safety programs, Dr. Periasamy Pradeep's journey is anything but ordinary. But this isn't a triumphant startup success story. It's about what comes after the headlines fade: the sleepless nights negotiating with corporate giants, the weight of protecting your people while chasing growth, and the spiritual reckoning of selling something you poured your soul into. This book asks the questions most founders are too afraid to voice: Can you sell a company without betraying its purpose? What do you owe the people who believed in you when no one else did? And when success finally arrives, why does it feel so much like loss? Written with brutal honesty and deep humanity, this memoir strips away the mythology of entrepreneurship to reveal its messy, beautiful, heartbreaking truth. It's a story for every dreamer who's ever built something they loved, failed publicly, risen quietly, and learned that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let go. Because some exits aren't endings. They're transformations.
