An invigorating duo of essays exploring exile, language and national identity from one of Europes most celebrated literary stars and author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being.89 Words, published in 1985, is an expanded version of the dictionary of sorts that readers encountered in The Art of the Novel, and comprises a fascinating and rigorous interrogation of what exile, life in another language, and the betrayals of translations entail.Prague: A Disappearing Poem, dating from 1980, meditates on questions of the culture of the small nation that formed and lends specificity to Kunderas work, and - as in A Kidnapped West - questions of the Soviet and Western attitudes to Czech culture. Together, these provocative, elegant and wise essays remind familiar readers of Kunderas presence - his inimitable voice - and for new readers, offer an introduction to his oeuvre: an access point into his fictional universe, characterised by devastating irony and subtlety of judgement.

A Cool Head in Hell is a compelling historical narrative based on Harry Silmans diary, arguably the only contemporaneous account by a POW under the Japanese to survive WW2. In it, as well as in letters and later accounts, Silman details his experiences as a doctor in the British Army from the Dunkirk evacuation (in which he was amongst the last soldiers delivered to safety) to his deployment to Singapore and subsequent capture by Japanese troops.Silmans vivid diary entries take us through his time as a detainee in the notorious Changi prison camp, and as a forced labourer on the Burma Railway. His calm manner, resourcefulness, resilience and positive nature during such cruel conditions, in which survival was a daily gamble, stand out and his perspective is up-front, as he was tasked with care of so many ill, wounded and dying fellow combatants.Harrys diary, compiled on scraps and hidden improbably under the threat of extreme sanction,offers rare insight into the survival strategies and medical challenges endured by the prisoners of war, and the deep bonds they formed. The narrative is rich with personal anecdotes, including Harrys enduring friendship with an Anglican padre and his leadership in organising Jewish services, providing a poignant look at faith, community and solidarity in horrific circumstances.Astutely edited by Harrys daughter Jacqueline Passman, the book also reflects on the psychological and emotional aftermath of captivity, examining how Harrys experiences shaped him long after liberation.

It is the perfect collection for anyone whos going to die one day.

A Deep Analytic Retelling of The Jungle plunges readers back into the raw heart of Upton Sinclairs landmark novel, bringing to life not only the brutal world of Chicagos stockyards but also the deeper political, social, and moral forces that shaped early twentieth-century America. This retelling preserves the gripping narrative of Jurgis Rudkusthe hopeful immigrant whose dreams are slowly devoured by corruption, hunger, and exploitationwhile weaving in rich analysis that uncovers the hidden machinery of poverty, power, and systemic injustice. It is both story and critique: a faithful narrative reimagined in accessible, novelistic prose that illuminates the roots of inequality while offering readers the shock of recognition and the spark of hope in the promise of solidarity. Engaging, haunting, and timely, this book is not only a companion to Sinclairs original masterpiece but also an invitation to confront the same questions that still shape our world today.
