The bestselling and award-winning book about living in Siberia for six months by France’s most brilliant travel writer, now in paperback

Sylvain Tesson, found a radical solution to his need for freedom, one as ancient as the experiences of the hermits of old Russia: he decided to lock himself alone in a cabin in the middle taiga, on the shores of Baikal, for six months. Noting carefully his impressions of the silence, Sylvain Tesson shares with us an extraordinary experience.

Find daily inspiration for every day of the year in a joyful collection of quotes and ideas from artists, brought together by the founder of The Great Women Artists.

The year ahead is a gift that has been given to you. What might you do with it?

Dive into the year with the wisdom of artists. Gathered from interviews, personal conversations, books and talks, How to Live an Artful Life moves through the months of the year offering you thoughts, reflections and encouragements from artists such as Marina Abramovic, Nan Goldin, Lubaina Himid, Louise Bourgeois and many more. With a thought for every day of the year, whether looking for beginnings in January, freedom in summer, or transformation as the nights draw in, this is a book of words to cherish. The year is full of the promise of work that has yet to be written, paintings that are yet to be painted, people who have yet to meet, talk, or fall in love. With this book in hand, pay attention, and see the world anew. Go out and find it, taste it, seize it, and live it – artfully.

Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, is an exhilarating, chaotic city with a tumultuous past yet a thriving, vibrant foodie reputation. Perfectly poised between the Middle East and the Mediterranean, Lebanese cuisine is hugely popular – famed for its varied and flavourful regional dishes that emphasize whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood.

Beirut’s ever-changing, often turbulent, heritage means that its food has evolved an exciting character of its own. In this book, Hisham Assaad shows you the best the city has to offer, with accessible, delicious recipes, ranging from the classics to more modern fare. He tells the story of a city with energy and diversity, of multiple cultures and traditions, with ever-popular street food, a thriving restaurant and café scene, and traditional family favourites handed down through generations. Learn to create lavish breakfast spreads, traditional Sunday feasts, fresh and vibrant salads, easy and nutritious suppers, or even a delectable afternoon tea with tempting, perfumed sweets and delicacies.

With stunning food and travel photography, this book will transport you to the cultural melting pot that is Beirut – a city that excels at mouth-watering food.

“There is a satisfaction in chopping wood that cannot be replaced by any other activity.”
— Sigurd F. Olson
End of summer / early autumn is my favourite time for making firewood, it’s just around the corner and I’m excited! It will be wonderful to see the stocks replenished ready for the winter months.
Found my copy of Norwegian Wood in a stack of books by the bed. What a wonderful read! 🪵 🔥

Cyrus Shams is lost. A recovering alcholic and a lacklustre medical actor, he has been studying the lives of the martyrs - Qu Yuan, Joan of Arc, Bobby Sands - trying to make sense of the death of his mother, Roya, who was killed when the US Navy shot down Iran Air flight 655, a civilian plane with 290 passengers on board, on her first trip away from Cyrus, her infant son.

Haunted by his mother’s death, and the fate of her brother Arash, whose own life was consumed by his time serving in Iraq, Cyrus finds he cannot connect to those who love him, or move beyond loss into hope.

But Cyrus’s life is about to change. On a pilgrimage to New York he meets Orkideh, a terminally ill artist who has decided to live out her last days in the Brooklyn Museum. As the two speak of life and death, Cyrus’s past - his lovers, his hopes, his dreams, and the lives of his parents - begins to alter the story of his present, until a final revalation transforms everything he thought he knew.

Weaving between voices and dreams, and the lives of civilizations, artists, poets, and kings, Martyr! is a transcendental debut of loss and belonging from a writer of infinite talents.

This was never an easy body of work — melancholy, dark, and unentertaining.
That it was met with such generous interest and response, and even found its way onto the cover of David Owen’s book, is an honour.
Thank you David, thank you , and thank you to everyone who spent time with and engaged with the work. 🖤
