At night the senses become reordered Hearing becomes privileged over vision and we edge forward arms outstretched feeling our way through the inky blackness It is after dark that the human being becomes more animal more sensitive to Nature But the lights of the modern world have obliterated any meaningful connection to the night We have lost touch with its wonders as well as its terrors In this enchanting follow up to Nightwalking John Lewis Stempel once again ventures out into the night to uncover the unseen world of nocturnal creatures When the curtain of night falls a spectacle begins That of bio luminescence of boxing hares and wheat fields shimmering in the moonlight In Night Life Lewis Stempel wanders further afield to terrains new and shows us why the night is precious and what it is to be human in the dark

Die Toten machten mir keine Angst. Es waren die Lebenden, die mir Albtraume bereiteten.Undurchdringlicher Nebel umgibt das heruntergekommene Hotel, im alten Gemauer sitzt klamme Kalte. Inmitten eines Wintersturms ist Dr. David Hunter im walisischen Snowdonia gestrandet. Das Forest Hotel wird von einem Ehepaar gefuhrt, das sich alles andere als freundlich gibt, doch der forensische Anthropologe hat keine andere Wahl, als hier die Nacht zu verbringen. Er ist der einzige Gast. Am nachsten Morgen macht Hunter im nahegelegenen Wald eine grausige Entdeckung. Beim Versuch, die Polizei zu alarmieren, stellt er fest, dass der Sturm das Dorf von der Auenwelt abgeschnitten hat Teil 7 der Bestsellerreihe fuhrt den forensischen Anthropologen Dr. David Hunter in die nebelverhangenen walisischen Berge.

The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray.Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

A dark literary novel set in 1980s London, following a young artist’s descent into ambition and moral compromise.
