Poet, artist, visionary and author of the unofficial English national anthem 'Jerusalem', William Blake is an archetypal misunderstood genius. In this radical new biography, we return to a world of riots, revolutions and radicals, discuss movements from the Levellers of the sixteenth century to the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s, and explore the latest discoveries in neurobiology, quantum physics and comparative religion to look afresh at Blake's life and work—and, crucially, his mind. 

Who Killed My Father rips into France’s long neglect of the working class and its overt contempt for the poor, accusing the complacent French - at the minimum - of negligent homicide. The author goes to visit the ugly gray town of his childhood to see his dying father, barely 50 years old, who can hardly walk or breathe: “You belong to the category of humans whom politics consigns to an early death.” It’s as simple as that.

Ein Leben als Roman: Per Olov Enquist beginnt seine Erzählung mit der Jugendzeit in Västerbotten, Nordschweden. Es folgen spannende Jahre im Ausland (vor allem in Deutschland, Amerika und Dänemark) - eine Zeit großer Erfolge, aber auch persönlicher Abstürze. Im Jahr 1990 unterzieht sich Enquist einer Kur in einer Trinker­heil­an­stalt in Seeland. Der Kreis schließt sich mit der Rückkehr nach Schweden. Per Olov Enquist blickt voll sanfter Ironie und in melancholischer Distanz zurück.

New York Times best-selling author and screenwriter Jojo Moyes talks to Audible about her final instalment in the Me Before You series, Still Me. In Still Me, Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. As she tries to keep the two sides of her world together, she finds herself carrying secrets - not all her own - that cause a catastrophic change in her circumstances.

Living with a powerfully ambitious writer who is consumed by his work, and trying to find a place for her own spirit to thrive, she rails against the confines. At the same time, she is desperate to find the truth in their relationship—and the truth of her own self.
