From the co-author of two previous Batsford lace titles comes a collection of 50 stunning lace patterns that showcase the delicate beauty of this ever-popular lace. Traditionally, the ornate braids that make up Milanese lace were used in long, convoluted floral patterns, but they are also easily adapted for use in more modern designs. This new book of patterns contains both traditional and modern examples, and the author experiments with different decorative styles - for example, Celtic lettering that is vibrant with the colours of original Celtic art, taken into a new dimension with the addition of Milanese braids. Exquisite miniatures in a Japanese style will be a challenge even for the most experienced lacemaker: the smallest patterns are not necessarily the easiest! Other patterns include flowers, scrolls, leaves and butterflies, plus some more unusual designs: dragons, a picture depicting the legend of Arion and the dolphin, and a spectacular piece featuring the mythical seven-headed Hydra. There is a good range of patterns, including both prickings and photographs of the finished pieces, suitable for abilities ranging from beginner to advanced.

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.

A woman with a successful career in child protection is floored by her husbands sudden death; a retired civil servant smothers his wife, but cant go through with their pact; a teacher fleeing a disastrous school trip finds himself literally in a dark wood.Pascal famously said we shall die alone. But there are always others left behind to grieve, to cheer, to feel guilt, relief or laughter, because we are human, whether we like it or not. In these stories, a dozen characters find at least a dozen ways to live by facing death their own or that of those they love in familiar worlds shot through with a strange absurdity.A man with cancer is employed to smoke by a character from a novel who may never have existed; an historian finds a love he hopes will last beyond the grave, even if it isnt his; a former judge dispenses justice in a prison camp; a randomly-selected Prime Minister confronts the biggest life-or-death decision she or anyone will ever have to take.A Day Like Any Other explores death natural, assisted, promised and unexpected with compassion, wit, a steady gaze and a desire to confront the challenge we mostly prefer to avoid: why live at all? It is the perfect collection for anyone whos going to die one day.
