Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Last Gift of the Master Artists
Book Synopsis'A magical take on Africa before the arrival of the Atlantic slave ships – a world of art and artists, lovers, storytellers and philosophers... The beauty of Okri's prose is [...] the overwhelming star of the show' Independent 'This is a story of a people on the eve of catastrophe. Others can tell of the catastrophe itself. I want to see the people in the last days of their innocence.' Ben Okri By a riverbank in Africa, two lovers meet for the first time. They make a promise to meet again the next day, same time, same place, but only one of them shows up. This sounds like the beginning of a love story, but it's more than that, for this breath-taking tale takes the reader into the heart of a vibrant world, a complex and intriguing civilisation of warriors and kings, philosophers and artists, parents and lovers. A world and culture which is about to end, for glimpsed on the horizon, seen but unsuspected, beautiful ships with white sails are waiting... First published as Starbook in 2007, Ben Okri has spent many years rewriting this epic novel, set just before the arrival of the Atlantic slave trade. He has sought to bring to it a greater simplicity, to make the political and historical implications of the story clearer. Now titled The Last Gift of the Master Artists, this is a work still more dazzling and unforgettable, and more relevant to our world than ever before. Praise for Ben Okri: 'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three – literature, culture and vision – are profoundly interwoven' Ali SmithTrade ReviewA magical take on Africa before the arrival of the Atlantic slave ships – a world of art and artists, lovers, storytellers and philosophers...

Profile Books Ltd Mastery
Book SynopsisAround the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then how to change them completely. Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': by paying close and careful attention, they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality, blasting previous patterns of achievement open from within. Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and how to start living by your own rules.Trade ReviewPraise for The 48 Laws of Power: 'At last, the book to help you scheme your way into the upper echelons of power.

Book SynopsisReassesses the genre of epideictic rhetoric from antiquity to the Renaissance by looking at a series of texts that exploit the potential of praise to undermine consensus and to challenge the normative values of society. The authors covered range from Isocrates, Plato, and Aristotle to Erasmus, Machiavelli, and MontaigneTrade Review“MacPhail uses the notion of praise (especially praise that turns to blame) as an interpretive key to explain the culture of the Renaissance, a demonstration that is both brilliant and convincing. Since the authors taken into account have been extensively studied, MacPhail builds on the results of modern scholarship: the novelty of his book is to take an unexpected and fruitful look at already known texts and also to draw attention to lesser-known sources.”—Laurent Pernot,author of The Subtle Subtext: Hidden Meanings in Literature and Life“MacPhail's provocative study will appeal to specialists of the classical tradition in early modernity, and scholars of rhetoric and the history of philosophy. In addition, it adds perspectives to our understanding of Machiavelli and Montaigne. Since the late 1990s there has been a serious revival of the study of rhetoric and the analysis of literature in rhetorical terms; this book sheds light on a subversive counter-tradition within the history of praise.”—Ullrich Langer,Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison“Readers will profit from MacPhail’s provocation as well as from the serious scholarship that underwrites it.”—Kathy Eden Erasmus Studies

Little, Brown & Company The Masters
Book SynopsisDuring fifty years of publishing the Bible of Rock and Roll, Jann Wenner conducted a series of interviews that are now regarded among the most important historical documents of rock. Some of these conversations broke headlines-in 1970, his interview with John Lennon exposed the unvarnished tensions that led to the breakup of the Beatles. He gets up-close-and-personal with Bob Dylan, the most singular figure in music who revealed himself to Wenner more openly than to anyone else. And Mick Jagger only trusted one person to publicly interview him about his private life and his backstage account of the world''s greatest rock band.Including stunning photographs and an exclusive, never-before-seen interview with Bruce Springsteen, The Masters intimately profiles the extraordinary musicians who dominated rock and roll, from London and California to New York and L.A.. This is a primary source, cultural masterpiece, and must-have volume about the artists who changed history.

Pan Macmillan The Master
Book SynopsisWith an introduction by award-winning novelist Tessa Hadley In January 1895 Henry James anticipates the opening of his first play, Guy Domville, in London. The production fails, and he returns, chastened and humiliated, to his writing desk. The result is a string of masterpieces, but they are produced at a high personal cost. In The Master Colm Tóibín captures the exquisite anguish of a man who circulated in the grand parlours and palazzos of Europe, who was astonishingly vibrant and alive in his art, and yet whose attempts at intimacy inevitably failed him and those he tried to love. It is a powerful account of the hazards of putting the life of the mind before affairs of the heart.Trade ReviewAn audacious, profound, and wonderfully intelligent book. -- Hermione Lee * Guardian *A marvel of lightly worn research and modulated tone. -- John Updike * New Yorker *A must read. Colm Tóibín has not only written a spectacular novel he has found a way to pay tribute to Henry James. We should all be so gifted and so lucky. -- Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones and Lucky

Sarabande Books, Incorporated Master
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2022 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry, selected by Terrance Hayes. The debut collection from Simon Shieh, Master is a stark, surreal, and imagistic reckoning with a traumatic past. Master follows the speaker's struggle with masculinity from a martial arts school in upstate New York to a boxing academy in Beijing. Language emerges in this collection not as a neutral witness to a boy’s subjugation, but as the very tool of hegemony, though one which also holds the key to its own undoing, and therefore to freedom. As much as Master is the story of pain, it is also a journey to healing, illuminating that while violence can be our patrimony, it does not have to be our destiny.Trade ReviewPoets & Writers, "Performing the Future: Our Nineteenth Annual Look at Debut Poets"Literary Hub, "A Month of Poetic Acrobatics: 7 New Poetry Books to Read in September"Featured in Poetry Daily"The phenomenal debut from Shieh is a stark and extraordinary investigation of a painful past, traversing the intricacies of violence and the journey toward healing."—Publishers Weekly, starred review"Simon Shieh presents a poetics of emancipation, grappling with and deconstructing the memory of a master figure’s misused power. "—Poets & Writers, "Performing the Future: Our Nineteenth Annual Look at Debut Poets""Simon Shieh’s Master is astonishing. . . . Shieh approaches childhood trauma by weaving a series of interconnected lyrics that interrogate power and control. The 'master,' the 'he' of these poems, runs the martial arts academy where the speaker is a child student. Small gestures shape a trajectory: he 'ties ropes around my wrists, blindfolds me' and 'moves my hand / to the left, moves my foot / to the right.' . . . [But] to extract from this intricate tapestry of a book is to sell it short: read it."—Rebecca Morgan Frank, Literary Hub, "7 New Poetry Books to Read in September"“This book feels like one of a kind. . . . Master grapples with dream and memory: the song of hands in motion and the story of hands in action. This lyric and spare work is like the poet’s image of a Rottweiler holding butterflies in its mouth before letting them free. The poems can feel solitary and deliberate as ‘a sparring partner dancing to his own music.’ They can feel sensual and are poetic as ‘the water dripping off his body like missed syllables.’ Yes, I could introduce this book using nothing but dazzling excerpts. They reckon with the inexpressible. Beauty is set free from a mouth with fangs. I’m proud to select Master for the Kathryn A. Morton prize.” —Terrance Hayes, from the Introduction “Simon Shieh ‘speak[s] the cadence of rain,’ reminding us that ‘each of us is a scorched page, part narrative, part dream.’ A gifted poet, each line is ‘an elegant lure.’ Master is a must-read, and Shieh is one of our most exciting and promising emerging poets.” —Sherwin Jay Bitsui, winner of the American Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award for Flood Song “This is one of the best collections I’ve read in a while. Simon Shieh’s voice is at once crisp and singular. His lines are tight, complex, and layered; his language unspools in powerful movements, so controlled and yet full of the devastating grace that precedes a final blow: ‘shattering the bone around my left eye/the doctors called it orbital//my mistake: resting my head/on his shoulder—letting him cradle it in his arms.’ The beauty in this book is heartbreaking, brutal. Unsparing in its analysis and deconstruction of power, Master is a startling and stunning debut collection.” —Sally Wen Mao, author of The Kingdom of Surfaces “If you surrender to Simon Shieh’s Master, if you let your eyes grow accustomed to its voluptuous and troubling dark, you will be rewarded with a singular reading experience: merciless in its vision and craft, dripping with muscularity and sweat, Shieh’s thrilling debut will leave you breathless.” —Ama Codjoe, author of Bluest NudeTable of ContentsTable of ContentsKindness Comes Too Easily to Wicked MenPart IAct IMaster (Five Nocturnes)Drawing of a SkeletonReverenceDescendentevery scar is an eye which has seen too muchPart IIRipeningPatrimonyafter seven days I hear his voiceTesting the WatersSelf-DefenseObsessionClearing the HillsWhat is Is LeftPart IIIMythomaniaDay OneSpecterFeel Him OutTraining in YizhuangHe Says My NameThe Queen’s Birthday, Bangkok (2011)Cutting WeightRecordTo hide from the dead / To be with the livingAbsolutionSelf-Portrait

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1951, The Nightrunners of Bengal is one of John Masters' series of seven novels which followed several generations of the Savage family serving in the British Army in India.Nightrunners of Bengal focuses on the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The central character, Captain Rodney Savage, is an officer in a Bengal Native Infantry regiment, based in the fictional city of Bhowani. When rebellion breaks out, the British community in Bengal is shattered. Savage's empathy for the Indians is shaken, as the British try to discover who is loyal to them and who is not.One of the great novels of India, Nightrunners of Bengal combines John Master's mastery of story-telling with an intuitive sense of history.

With their positions becoming at once stronger and more troubled, the strained threads of their friendship begin to unravel.

David Sowell returns to Augusta now with the third edition of The Masters, adding more history and updating each hole with additional stories of greatness and tales of woe for a new generation of golfers led by Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and Patrick Reed, as well as from an older guard represented by Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, and Sergio García. The legends of the Masters are in full force in this lively look at America's golf classic. From Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen to Arnold Palmer and Jack NickTrade Review"It is often said that the real Masters doesn't begin until the back nine on Sunday. Mr. Sowell's nuanced descriptions of those holes make it clear why the chase on Sunday afternoons is so often thrilling."—John Paul Newport, Wall Street Journal“Sowell gives us the Masters in full flower.”—Booklist“An entertaining read that enthusiasts will enjoy.”—Library Journal"This third edition provides a rich historical view of the course where success breeds legends and where failure can haunt even the most brilliant golfer’s career. . . . If you are a golf fan or enjoy watching this tournament that is the unofficial start of spring, The Masters is one of the best books on the sport and this tradition."—Jason Schott, Brooklyn Digest"Using a unique format in which the history of events that happened at each hole is described, Sowell will inform readers about golfers in every era."—Lance Smith, Guy Who Reviews Sports Books“Every kind of book on the Masters that could be written had been written, until David Sowell came along. He takes a route previously not taken, giving each of the eighteen holes of Augusta National its own fifteen minutes of fame.”—Furman Bisher, the late legendary sports columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution who covered the Masters for more than sixty years“We have always wondered why the Masters is a tradition unlike any other. David Sowell has an answer. . . . He covers the magical moments of the good, the grand, and the also-ran on a course that itself is a memorial to Bobby Jones.”—Sidney L.
