Paperback. From the day she is discovered unconscious in a New England cemetery at the beginning of the twentieth century - nothing but a bowling ball, a candlepin and fifteen pounds of gold on her person - Bertha Truitt is an enigma to everyone in Salford, Massachusetts. She has no past to speak of, or at least none she is willing to reveal, and her mysterious origin scandalises and intrigues the townspeople, as does her choice to marry and start a family with Leviticus Sprague, the doctor who revived her. But Bertha is plucky, tenacious and entrepreneurial, and the bowling alley she opens quickly becomes Salford?s most defining landmark - with Bertha its most notable resident. She changes the town forever- her singular spirit resonating powerfully through every board and brick and bone. In a voice laced with insight and her signature sharp humour, Elizabeth McCracken has written an epic family saga set against the backdrop of twentieth-century America. Bowlaway is both a stunning feat of language and a brilliant unravelling of a family?s myths and secrets, its passions and betrayals, and the ties that bind and the rifts that divide.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 80 pages. In his 75th year, the tenth collection by the greatest living Northern Irish poetWinner of the 2015 Griffin Poetry PrizeShortlisted for the 2014 T.S. Eliot P rizeWinner of the 2015 Griffin Poetry PrizeShortlisted for the 2014 T .S. Eliot PrizeIn The Stairwell, his tenth collection, Michael Longley's themes and forms reach a new intensity. The second part of the book is a powerfu l sequence of elegies for his twin brother, Peter, and the dominant mood elsewhe re is elegiac. The title poem begins- 'I have been thinking about the music for my funeral .' The two parts are also linked by Homer. Longley is well-known for his Homeric versions, and the Iliad is a presiding presence - both in poems abou t the Great War and in the range of imagery that gives his twin's death a mythic dimension. Yet funeral music can be life-affirming. Longley has built this coll ection on intricate doublings, not only when he explores the tensions of twinshi p. The psychologically suggestive word 'stairwell' is itself an ambiguous compou nd. These poems encompass birth as well as death, childhood and age, nature and art, the animal and human worlds, tenderness and violence, battlefield and 'home land'. The Stairwell is a richly textured, immensely moving work. Michael Longle y has the rare ability to fuse emotional depth with complicated artistry- to mak e them, somehow, the same thing.…

It began with the surprise discovery of a stash o f personal documents covered in swastikas that had been sewn into its cushion. T he SS Officer's Armchair is the story of what happened next, as historian Daniel Lee follows the trail of cold calls, documents, coincidences and family secrets , to uncover the life of one Dr Robert Griesinger from Stuttgart.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. 224 pages. cover worn, bumped, ex-library NEW STATESMAN )IRISH TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERWalking upright on two feet is a un iquely human skill. It defines us as a species.It enabled us to walk out of Afri ca and to spread as far as Alaska and Australia. It freed our hands and freed ou r minds. We put one foot in front of the other without thinking ? yet how many of us know how we do that, or appreciate the advantages it gives us? In this hy mn to walking, neuroscientist Shane O?Mara invites us to marvel at the benefit s it confers on our bodies and minds.In Praise of Walking celebrates this miracu lous ability. Incredibly, it is a skill that has its evolutionary origins millio ns of years ago, under the sea. And the latest research is only now revealing ho w the brain and nervous system performs the mechanical magic of balancing, navig ating a crowded city, or running our inner GPS system.Walking is good for our mu scles and posture ; it helps to protect and repair organs, and can slow or turn back the ageing of our brains. With our minds in motion we think more creatively , our mood improves and stress levels fall. Walking together to achieve a shared purpose is also a social glue that has contributed to our survival as a species .As our lives become increasingly sedentary, we risk all this. We must start wal king again, whether it?s up a mountain, down to the park , or simply to school and work. We, and our societies, will be better for it.Sunday Independent Book of the WeekAGreatRead and ArgosyBooks BOOK OF THE MONTH.…
