Synopsis

A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.

    What happens when paradise stops distracting you and starts revealing you? 
    Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Tribulationscontinues Andrew’s true journey on the Big Island of Hawaii, picking up exactly where Volume 1 left off and turning inward, toward the most difficult terrain of all. 
    A routine hitchhiking ride introduces a new person into Andrew’s life and an invitation he can’t ignore: a ten-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat. 
    What begins as curiosity quickly becomes a radical experiment in awareness. In total silence, with no distractions and no stories to hide behind, he learns to observe his thoughts without attachment, confront buried trauma without narrative, and witness firsthand the impermanent nature of everything he thought he was. 
    As the days unfold, paradise takes on a new meaning. Old emotional patterns surface. Unrequited love reveals itself in a different light. And on his birthday, a message arrives from beyond the grave that feels impossible to explain and impossible to forget. 
    The island no longer offers escape, only reflection. 
    ✨ Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Tribulations chronicles a deep inner transformation on Hawaii, through meditation, vulnerability, and radical self-inquiry. Luminous, honest, and immersive, Tribulations is for readers drawn to true stories of healing, consciousness, and the unsettling beauty of change. 
    Continue the journey today. Take the next step deeper into paradise.

    There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

    This book guides you on a pleasant, 8.5-mile route in and around the city of Bath in Somerset, England, the only UK city to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety for its history, its architecture and its natural setting in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 
    Bath’s hot springs, pouring out a million litres of scalding water every day, have drawn people here for thousands of years, including the Romans, who built a grand spa complex visited by people from Asia, Africa and all over the Roman world. 
    In the 800s, Alfred the Great built a wall around the ruined spa on Roman foundations to defend the town against the Danes, and it remained a tiny walled city with a Saxon street grid for the next eight centuries, right up to the mid-1700s, by which time Bath had become the hottest resort for the British aristocracy in the country. 
    The pressure of that sparked a building boom that saw the city burst through its wall and climb the steep hills of the verdant river valley it sits in. It’s a new town, like Dubai or Las Vegas, except it settled into its current shape just over two centuries ago. 
    The Saxons set up a powerful monastery here in the early Middle Ages, and Edgar, the first King of All England, was crowned at the Saxon abbey in 973. 
    The current Abbey was completed in the 1530s, just in time for the Dissolution of the Monasteries when an enraged Henry VIII kicked the monks out on pain of death and ransacked the brand new church, leaving it a gutted shell until his gentler daughter, Elizabeth I, took the Abbey and the city under her royal wing. 
    All this and more is visible in the city’s fabric and dramatic landscape. Bath resident Rod Sweet – veteran journalist, author, walker and history fan – takes you on an immersive tour through the city’s 2,000-year evolution, exploring the narrow lanes, intimate courtyards, architectural icons and hidden gems, telling the stories of the people and ideas that shaped this remarkable place.

And, of course, the Scottish Highlands with an epic tour of the Cairngorms National Park, home to 25 per cent of Britain's rare and endangered species, as well as the author's own take on the North Coast 500 and more.
