Wydanie rozszerzone zawierające dodatkowe teksty i rozmowę Stephena Kinga z Joe Hillem.Dużo czytać. Jeszcze więcej pisać. Nie poddawać się. Wyłączyć telewizor. Być uczciwym wobec siebie i swoich bohaterów. Nie bać się krytyków. Nie lekceważyć gramatyki. Oszczędzać słowa - radzi początkującym pisarzom słynny autor horrorów.Ale "Pamiętnik rzemieślnika" to nie tylko porady dla twórców opowiadań o kosmicznych mutantach w radioaktywnym jeziorze. Wielbiciele Stephena Kinga znajdą tutaj wiele szczegółów biograficznych - pisarz opowiada o swoich traumatycznych przeżyciach z dzieciństwa, ciężkich latach biedy, przygodach z alkoholem i narkotykami, wreszcie o groźnym wypadku, któremu uległ w 1999 roku. Zdradza także historie poszczególnych pomysłów (do czego też może zainspirować pisarza automat sprzedający środki higieniczne w damskiej przebieralni!) i konkretnych tekstów czy postaci.King nie próbuje kreować się mentora początkujących literatów, nie mitologizuje też samego tworzenia, choć głęboko wierzy w magiczną siłę słowa pisanego. Humor i bezpretensjonalność, z jaką podchodzi i do pisania, i do samego siebie, a także naprawdę użyteczne wskazówki i przykłady z życia sprawiają, że "Pamiętnik" jest równie wciągający (choć nie tak przerażający) jak najlepsze z jego powieści.Stephen King (ur. 1947) nie bez powodu nazywany jest Królem Horroru. Napisał już ponad sześćdziesiąt nagradzanych książek, spośród których sławę i awans z pracownika pralni na najbogatszego pisarza Ameryki przyniosła mu "Carrie" (1974). To od niej zaczęło się pasmo wielkich bestsellerów - wśród nich znalazły się chociażby kultowe "Miasteczko Salem" (1975), "Lśnienie" (1977), "Bastion" (1978), cykl "Mroczna Wieża" (1982-2012), "Smętarz dla zwierzaków" (1983), "To" (1986), "Misery" (1987), "Zielona mila" (1996), "Dallas '63" (2011), a także najnowsze powieści: "Billy Summers" (2021), "Baśniowa opowieść" (2022) i "Holly" (2023). Dzieła Kinga, łączące gatunki takie jak horror, science fiction, sensacja, thriller i fantasy, rozeszły się w setkach milionów egzemplarzy i zostały przetłumaczone na kilkadziesiąt języków. Były też wielokrotnie ekranizowane. Ich autor mieszka w stanie Maine z żoną, Tabithą King. Ma córkę i dwóch synów - pisarzy Owena Kinga ("Śpiące królewny") i Joego Hilla ("Locke & Key").
Liczne dary, które posiadał ojciec Pio, takie jak zdolność bilokacji, cudowny zapach, przepowiadanie zdarzeń przyszłych, czytanie w sercach, uzdrawianie ludzi chorych na ciele lub na duszy, rozumienie języków obcych, jak i liczne inne charyzmaty plasują go pośród najbardziej niezwykłych świętych w liczącej dwa tysiące lat historii Kościoła.
The definitive, dramatic, minute-by-minute story of the 1986 Challenger space shuttle disaster by New York Times-bestselling author Adam Higginbotham, based on fascinating new archival research and in-depth reporting – a riveting history that reads like a thriller
From the New York Times-bestselling author of Midnight in Chernobyl comes the definitive, dramatic, minute-by-minute story of the Challenger space shuttle disaster based on fascinating in-depth reporting and new archival research – riveting history that reads like a thriller
On the morning of 28 January 1986, just seventy-three seconds into flight, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Millions around the world witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Like the assassination of JFK, the Challenger disaster is a defining moment in twentieth century history – one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Yet the full story of what happened – and why – has never been told.
Based on extensive archival research and meticulous, original reporting, Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space follows a handful of central protagonists – including each of the seven members of the doomed crew – through the years leading up to the accident, a detailed account of the tragedy itself, and into the investigation that followed. It’s a compelling tale of optimism and ingenuity shattered by political cynicism and cost-cutting in the interests of burnishing national prestige; of hubristic ‘go fever’; and of an investigation driven by heroic leakers and whistle-blowers determined to bring the truth to light.
With astonishing clarity and narrative verve, Adam Higginbotham reveals the history of the shuttle program, the lives of men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster, as well as the designers, engineers and test pilots who struggled against the odds to get the first shuttle into space. A masterful blend of riveting human drama, fascinating science and shocking political infighting, Challenger brings to life a turning point in our history. The result is an even more complex and extraordinary story than any of us remembered – or thought possible.
The rollicking autobiography of the iconic guitarist who took thrash metal behemoths Megadeth from the edge of collapse to their highest peak before departing to Japan for the joy of J-Pop.
“The story of how he got where he is is fascinating. The Megadeth years have been well documented, but there’s so much more to Marty Friedman’s story and it’s well worth reading about in Dreaming Japanese.” —Decibel Magazine
Marty Friedman’s upbringing was as atypical as his career. Growing up in a Jewish household in Maryland, the son of an NSA executive, he lacked motivation until he accidentally discovered the guitar and immediately found his calling. Enjoying a hazy adolescence overflowing with partying, music, and teen antics, he achieved local stardom in Deuce, then burst onto the national scene by pioneering a radically new style of playing, bringing attention to the guitar aficionado label, Shrapnel Records. Acclaim didn’t breed success or money, but undeterred, Friedman moved to California, and after attempts to join Madonna, KISS, and Ozzy Osbourne, finally scored a gig in Megadeth at a time when the band members were just recovering from the verge of self-destruction, and Marty was in and out of homelessness.
Friedman is the most revered guitarist to play in any Megadeth lineup. During his ten years, his exotic, innovating style helped define the sound of their biggest albums, and while it elevated him to guitar hero status with all the accompanying perks, it came at a significant cost. As the only clean and sober member, Friedman vividly recalls the triumphs and trials of each album cycle and more, bringing to light previously undisclosed personal feelings surrounding the circumstances that forced the band into hiding in the midst of the Countdown to Extinction Tour and the brutal effort it took to get the band back up and running. His profound and complicated relationship with frontman Dave Mustaine was symbolic of the band’s insane dynamic, and Marty poignantly and generously shares his experiences within the band’s inner sanctum during the highs, lows, and daily routines.
But Dreaming Japanese is far more than a memoir about Friedman’s multi-Platinum years in Megadeth. The riveting narrative captures his relentless perseverance as he struggles to start again from nothing. Spontaneously leaving his home in the US and feeling lost in the middle of Tokyo, with few connections or concrete plans, the story traces his journey to acclimate and assimilate into the inner core of an alien society, language and culture, almost like a double agent spy. In fascinating detail and clarity, Marty shares how he gradually made inroads into the Japanese entertainment industry, becoming a household name and fixture on mainstream television and earning respect as a highly influential solo artist. Dreaming Japanese follows the wildly entertaining, inspiring, and above all, unprecedented path of a rock and roll guitar player who took the biggest risk, leaving worldwide success to start over from scratch in a country, culture and society far from his own, ultimately becoming an official ambassador of Japan.
Luke Smith has spent over ten years reporting on Formula 1 from all over the world. The grid is his playground, the track his literal running track. In On the Grid he takes us behind the scenes of the past, present and future of Formula 1, telling its story through the eyes of the people who create it - not just the superstar drivers and larger-than-life team principals, but also the the pit crew, the engineers, strategists, PR gurus, the fans and more.
There's plenty of thrilling drama, cutting-edge technology and glamour, but Smith also shows us the critical mid-race decisions, how that 50-pence screw in the wrong place could cause a £15m car to break down, how F1 has influenced not just the cars we drive but our fridges, life-saving medical equipment and even croissants.
On the Grid brings to life what the sport is really like, revealing the extraordinary minds and characters that give it such colour and intrigue, while also tracing the origins of the sport's traditions and impact beyond the track. For both long-time fans and newcomers, it's the definitive, access-all-areas account of the people, personalities and culture that make F1 stand alone in world sport.
The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told—sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others to write “the definitive look at the making of an American classic” (Library Journal, starred review).
On top of the usual complications of filmmaking, the creators of The Godfather had to contend with the real-life members of its subject matter: the Mob. During production of the movie, location permits were inexplicably revoked, author Mario Puzo got into a public brawl with an irate Frank Sinatra, producer Al Ruddy’s car was found riddled with bullets, men with “connections” vied to be in the cast, and some were given film roles.

With a foreword by McLaren CEO Zak Brown and written with inside access, this is the real-time, unfolding story of one of F1’s greatest ever teams, as they rise back up from oblivion.
Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, with their remarkable victory in the 2024 constructors championship, they are now returning to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown.
Going into 2023, Brown’s team were the second slowest on the grid, only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. In 2024, their driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami, and McLaren fiercely competed for podiums against Ferrari and Red Bull.
Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his strategic vision is now seeing results. McLaren are on the rise again, looking to a future that will echo its hallowed past and legendary drivers James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton.
With access to the team's inner sanctum, this exhilarating account delves deep into McLaren’s history, revealing how their rich heritage forms the core of their identity today, before taking us behind the scenes to give us the inside track on their extraordinary resurgence. Guided by the motto motto ‘Forever Forward’, McLaren has a tradition of coming back from adversity time and time again to take the chequered flag against all the odds. Here they go again.
Celebrate a vital work of feminism with this special edition featuring the original cover created by Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, and the original text first published by The Hogarth Press.
Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Witty, urbane and vital to this day, A Room of One’s Own is a persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. It weaves together memoir, imaginative speculation and political vision to create one of the most important works of feminism of the twentieth century.
The book sprang from two lectures that Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge in 1928. The first printing of the book the following year was as a limited edition, a joint publication between The Fountain Press of New York and the Hogarth Press. Two months later it was released to the general trade and has been an essential work ever since.
The text of this edition of A Room of One’s Own is based on the original Hogarth Press edition, published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf in October 1929. The dust jacket features the original cover created by Virginia Woolf’s sister, Vanessa Bell, for the Hogarth Press. Beneath the cover ‘cinnamon’ boards printed in gilt take inspiration from the finish of the first trade edition.

The Roma is a profoundly personal portrait of a people and their on-going journey, shedding new light on their history and what it means to be Romani in Europe today. It is a history that is not widely known and understood, and that invisibility has created a space where fear and hostility continue to thrive.
Full of fascinating stories and extraordinary individuals, The Roma is a powerful corrective to the stereotyping and prejudices still faced by Romani communities. We meet the Romani artist who chronicled her experiences of the Holocaust in Austria; the boxer who should have become Germany’s light-heavyweight champion only to have his win scratched from the record by the Nazis; and a eighteenth-century Romani woman in London who was accused of kidnapping a girl and sentenced to death only to be exonerated thanks to some detective work by an unconvinced judge.
Throughout, Madeline Potter weaves in her travels though contemporary Romani Europe as well as strands of her own journey as a Romani woman in Romania and now in Britain. Deftly blending explorative history and portraits of a unique and vibrant culture with intimate accounts of racism, The Roma is a celebration of survival – of resilience and resistance in the face of prejudice and persecution.
And here comes Hurst. He's got... Some people are on the pitch. They think it's all over. It is now. It's four!
Geoff Hurst's extraordinary hat trick turned him into a global superstar overnight. There is no player in the history of the game so universally identified with a single match.
But the full story of the nation's biggest ever sporting victory is about much more than those final moments. Here Geoff remembers his teammates, the times they spent on and off the pitch, the extraordinary journey they went on together, what football meant to each of them, their work ethic, their culture of team loyalty, their continued bond over the decades.
The enormous salaries paid to today's Premier League stars means that when they finish playing, few will ever have to work again. The 1966 team never had that option. They were payed £60 per match, and received a £1,000 bonus for winning. Most tried, and failed, to become successful managers, with Jack Charlton being a notable exception. Twenty years after they scored the England goals in the final, Geoff and Martin Peters were selling motor insurance. Ray Wilson was an undertaker.
Yet all remained aware they achieved something on 30th July 1966 which may never be repeated, and did so staying close to their roots. The day after the final Alan Ball stopped at a motorway cafe on the M6. One or two people asked to see his winner's medal, then left him to his egg and chips. Geoff mowed the lawn. 'That's what you did on a Sunday'.
In Last Boy of 66 our 1966 hat-trick hero takes us back to those very different days. A definitive and important eye-witness account, to be treasured by fans and historians for generations to come.
They don't make footballers - and football autobiographies - like this any more. The brutally honest, riotously entertaining story of the much-loved Everton legend and iconic Premier League bad boy.
Praised by Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the greatest and most passionate players to ever play the game, Duncan Ferguson, or Big Dunc as he is known, is larger than life in every sense. Measuring a towering 6 feet 4 inches in height, from the moment the striker emerged in British football in the 1990s, he was front and back page news. On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners. Like his rival Roy Keane, he played close to the limit, and often crossed it. Such as the time he was sentenced to 3 months in Glasgow’s toughest prison for headbutting an opponent – the first and only time a footballer has ever gone to jail for a crime committed on a football pitch.
In BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography, Duncan reveals, for the first time, the full story: the truth about his experiences in prison, his partying with African princes and Liverpool gangsters, his fighting with burglars, his making and losing a fortune, and how he turned his life around through his beloved Everton F.C.. In the process, the book sheds light on one of football’s most charismatic but notorious and enigmatic hardmen. Duncan has also been a manager and a coach. He is a pillar of the community in Merseyside, giving back to stricken children who share a similar tough upbringing to his own. Duncan's book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of humour, drama and redemption. Buckle up.
On 24 February 2022, the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, armoured vehicles approached the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine. It was the most direct way for them to reach the capital - and an extraordinarily reckless plan after the disaster that had taken place there three decades earlier. Russian occupation of the plant had begun. It would last thirty-five days.
Closely reported and narrated from multiple perspectives, this is the story of the Ukrainians who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days to spare the world a new nuclear accident. We meet Valentyn Heiko, the foreman who had also been there for the clean-up of the Chernobyl accident in 1986 and turned sixty during the occupation; plant workers who found a way to celebrate International Women’s Day despite all odds; Russian officers who had no knowledge of nuclear reactors; and four stalkers who were caught in the middle and stood in for the overworked cook.
Gripping and unforgettable, Chernobyl Roulette sounds the alarm about the dangers of nuclear sites in an unprecedented time, when plant workers are left to fight on their own while the world holds its breath. In a book that reads like a thriller, Serhii Plokhy tells a remarkable story about human nature, uncertainty and courage.

'Earnest and empathetic.' – New York Times
Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.
In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.
In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
It’s falling from the sky and in the air we breathe. It’s in our food, our clothes, and our homes. It’s microplastic and it’s everywhere—including our own bodies. Scientists are just beginning to discover how these tiny particles threaten health, but the studies are alarming.
In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so useful and ubiquitous – its toughness – means it never really goes away. It just gets smaller and smaller: eventually small enough to enter your lungs or be absorbed by crops or penetrate a fish’s muscle tissue before it becomes dinner.
Unlike other pollutants that are single elements or simple chemical compounds, microplastics represent a cocktail of toxicity: plastics contain at least 10,000 different chemicals. Those chemicals are linked to diseases from diabetes to hormone disruption to cancers.
A Poison Like No Other is the first book to fully explore this new dimension of the plastic crisis, following the intrepid scientists who travel to the ends of the earth and the bottom of the ocean to understand the consequences of our dependence on plastic. As Simon learns from these researchers, there is no easy fix. But we will never curb our plastic addiction until we begin to recognize the invisible particles all around us.
Święty Augustyn (354–430) odegrał kluczową rolę w historii zachodniej cywilizacji chrześcijańskiej, a jego listy odzwierciedlają niemal wszystkie ważne obszary jego działalności intelektualnej i instytucjonalnej, a także codziennej praktyki. Z jednej strony korespondencja ta należy do bogatej tradycji starożytnej epistolografii w ogóle, a z drugiej jest najlepiej zachowanym zbiorem łacińskich listów wczesnochrześcijańskich. Augustyn przed swym spektakularnym nawróceniem był profesorem retoryki, a więc autorem głęboko zanurzonym w łacińskiej tradycji literackiej, ale był też chrześcijańskim biskupem Hippony, ważnego miasta w rzymskiej Afryce Północnej, świadomym własnego autorytetu i bardzo aktywnie zaangażowanym w debaty teologiczne oraz instytucjonalną działalność Kościoła swoich czasów. Korpus jego listów stanowi zatem bezcenne źródło dla badaczy zajmujących się takimi dyscyplinami jak teologia, filozofia, historia idei, antropologia kulturowa, literaturoznawstwo, historia życia codziennego, dzieje kultury materialnej oraz myśli społecznej i politycznej. Poza wszystkim jest fascynującym świadectwem geniuszu jednego z najwybitniejszych w dziejach przedstawicieli zachodniej kultury.
To już szósty tom serii Studia Jagiellonica, tym razem poświęcony tytułowemu bogactwu i ubóstwu Jagiellonów. Zbiór gromadzi łącznie 15 tekstów autorów z polskich i zagranicznych ośrodków naukowych (Czechy, Australia i Ukraina), wszystkie opatrzone są abstraktami w języku angielskim. Językiem wiodącym publikacji jest polski, ale tom mieści też artykuł w języku angielskim i czeskim. Bogactwo i ubóstwo Jagiellonów na terenach będących pod panowaniem dynastii (Polska, Wielkie Księstwo Litewskie, Czechy, Węgry) rozpatrywane jest wieloaspektowo i w całym okresie rządów dynastii – zarówno z perspektywy historyków, historyków sztuki, jak i, co ciekawe, filologa. Pomieszczono tu teksty analizujące dobra Jagiellonów i czerpane z nich dochody (to najliczniejsza grupa artykułów, ich tematyka to przykładowo: królewszczyzny, poborcy podatkowi, płace dworzan, zasoby a możliwości dynastii), szeroko rozumiane wątki wiążące politykę z gospodarką (choćby analiza podstaw ekonomicznych panowania w Polsce i na Litwie Zygmunta Starego i Bony, tekst o podarunkach jako faktorze polityki i kształtowania wizerunku monarszego, szeroko rozumiany splendor dynastii (tu przykładem są dwa teksty o zamkach czy artykuł o księgozbiorze ostatniego Jagiellona), hojność i dobroczynność królewska, wreszcie spojrzenie na Jagiellońskie bogactwa przez pryzmat słów pochlebcy, Kallimacha. Publikacja mieści nie tylko teksty analityczne, ale też wiele dopełniających je zestawień w obszernych tabelach, wykresy, mapy i materiał fotograficzny.
