  Father of existentialism or the Eeyore of philosophy?
  
  Known as the first modern theologian, Søren
  
  Kierkegaard was a prolific writer of the Danish 'golden age'. A philosopher,
  
  poet and social critic, his key concepts of angst, despair, and the
  
  importance of the individual, influenced many 20th-century philosophers and
  
  literature throughout Europe.
  
  Dave Robinson and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic
  
  guide explains what Kierkegaard means by 'anti-philosophy', and tells an
  
  illuminating story of the strange life and ideas of a man tortured by his
  
  attempts to change the very priorities of Western thought.

  From the author of The Jungle Book comes the tale of one man’s life-changing summer on the high seas. At the start of Captains Courageous, one of literature's most beloved stories of the sea, a spoiled rich boy is literally swept away — dashed overboard from an ocean liner. Luckily, young Harvey Cheyne is rescued by a passing fishing vessel. As it turns out, Harvey's apparent misfortune in tumbling from a life of pampered luxury into the humble company of a fishing schooner becomes a blessing in disguise. Compelled by the captain to earn his keep, Harvey loses his affectations as he learns the rewards of an honest day's labor amid the gruff and hearty companionship of the crewmen, who teach him to be worth his salt as they fish the waters off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The author's only novel to unfold in an American setting, this lively tale resounds with Kipling's customary blend of adventure and humor. This attractive new audio-book edition offers an irresistible invitation to a master storyteller's enduring tale of a boy's initiation into adulthood.

  This collection of comics from the author of Wine Makes Mommy Clever and Dawn of the Bunny Suicides takes a humorous look at fatherhood in all its glory. 
   
  Fatherhood is full of ups and downs, quirks and crises. But there is always humor to be found! Featuring 60 all-new cartoons from Andy Riley, Beer Makes Daddy Strong shows the world just how great dads can be: Daddy knows all the best car games (“Who can stay quiet the longest?”), likes to show off his scars (that he may or may not have obtained while running with the bulls in Spain), and is a great cook (when Spaghetti Bolognese is on the menu). Witty and wise, this affectionate tribute is a celebration of fatherhood and all of its joys, confusion, humor, and, of course, beer. 
   
  Praise for Beer Makes Daddy Strong 
   
  “This will make you laugh. It is a piece of artwork, really; a collection of cartoons capturing those “dad moments” that can be humiliating, embarrassing or just plain stupid.” —The Daily Telegraph (UK) 
   
  “Laugh-out-loud tour through life as a first, from the first ultrasound to holiday traffic jams and pipe and slippers time.” —News of the World (UK) 
   
  “Funny, true, and—speaking as a dad—embarrassingly accurate.” —Chris Addison

  The influence of the comic book has never been greater, from movies to streaming and beyond, but the journey comics took from little-regarded kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises turned on a highly unusual group of writers and artists. Few would have expected a small gathering of British comic book fans and creators in the early 'seventies to be a global cultural pivot-point, but this was the start of a disparate movement of punks, dropouts, and disaffected youths who reinvented a medium and became the imaginative heart of a global success story.Based on years of interviews with a generation of leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped, hindered, and saw the reinvention of comics.Stock brilliantly tells the story of the triumphs and disasters that rewrote the rulebook on what comics could be and who they should be for.
