The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint Exupery - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint Exupery - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry''s timeless tale, reissued in a beautiful clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don''t dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator''s imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.

Southern Mail / Night Flight - Antoine De Saint Exupery - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an intrepid and eccentric adventurer, transferred his passion for flying to the written word by writing several classics of aviation literature, including Southern Mail and Night Flight. Based on Saint-Exupéry''s trail-blazing flights for the French airmail service over the Sahara and later, the Andes, these two novels evoke the tragic courage and nobility of the airborne pioneers who took enormous risks, flying in open cock-pits in planes that were often fragile and unstable.

‘I truly loved this brilliant book and will recommend it to anyone and everyone! It’s that good’ Angela Duckworth, author of Grit‘An insightful read about how to handle the space between stimulus and response’ Adam Grant, author of Think AgainFrom Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, comes a life-changing guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions in order to transform our lives. Think back to your most challenging moment – whether in your career, relationships or personal life. Did you lose control from anger? Were you paralysed by fear? Did you isolate yourself due to humiliation?Whatever your reaction, your emotions most likely determined what you said, or did, next. But the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, an involuntary part of ourselves – it is a skill that must be taught and refined throughout our lives. And there’s no such thing as a ‘bad’ emotion – only the emotions we don’t fully understand or haven’t yet learned to channel in positive, intentional ways. In Dealing with Feeling, Marc Brackett shares his own journey of emotional growth, explores the latest science behind our emotions and offers practical techniques to help you nurture healthy relationships, tackle life’s challenges and enhance your mental wellbeing. Life may be unpredictable, but how you respond doesn’t have to be. With the transformative techniques in Dealing with Feeling you will learn to become the best version of yourself.

William I (Penguin Monarchs) - Marc Morris - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England''s rulers - now in paperback On Christmas Day 1066, William, duke of Normandy was crowned in Westminster, the first Norman king of England. It was a disaster: soldiers outside, thinking shouts of acclamation were treachery, torched the surrounding buildings. To later chroniclers, it was an omen of the catastrophes to come.During the reign of William the Conqueror, England experienced greater and more seismic change than at any point before or since. Marc Morris''s concise and gripping biography sifts through the sources of the time to give a fresh view of the man who changed England more than any other, as old ruling elites were swept away, enemies at home and abroad (including those in his closest family) were crushed, swathes of the country were devastated and the map of the nation itself was redrawn, giving greater power than ever to the king. When, towards the end of his reign, William undertook a great survey of his new lands, his subjects compared it to the last judgement of God, the Domesday Book. England had been transformed forever.

World Without End - Jean Marc Jancovici - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*A Financial Times Most Anticipated Book of 2024* “Can a graphic novel save the planet? Perhaps.” – Elizabeth Kolbert Is this the end of the world? Perhaps not. In this eye-opening, hopeful and hugely entertaining bestseller, a climate expert takes a leading graphic novelist on a journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is undergoing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, walks us through just about everything: from the innermost workings of our minds to toothbrushes, office jobs, and oil; ancient history and modern geopolitics; economics and ecology; the unfolding climate crisis and its consequences for us all. As he describes the world we live in - a world whose future is deeply uncertain - the artist, Christophe Blain, listens and draws.Coming face to face with global warming, the unlikely duo - along with Mother Nature, Pop Eye and Jiminy Cricket, among others - create a picture of what the solution to our predicament actually looks like. Yes, we have a fossil-fuel problem, but simply switching to renewable energy won’t fix it. We can and must rethink everything: our energy supply, our economies and our whole world. They leave us with an inspiring vision of the future in which food, education, housing, transport and communities - in other words, all of us - work together and, with a few technological fixes, succeed in creating a world without end. “Masterful and unforgettable... A testament to the power of the graphic novel" - Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis “READ. THIS. BOOK. ” - Eliza Griswold, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Over 1 million copies sold since publication, The Guardian , October 2024

Nausea - Jean Paul Sartre - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Nausea - Jean Paul Sartre - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jean-Paul Sartre''s first published novel, Nausea is both an extended essay on existentialist ideals, and a profound fictional exploration of a man struggling to restore a sense of meaning to his life. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated from the French by Robert Baldick with an introduction by James Wood. Nausea is both the story of the troubled life of an introspective historian, Antoine Roquentin, and an exposition of one of the most influential and significant philosophical attitudes of modern times - existentialism. The book chronicles his struggle with the realisation that he is an entirely free agent in a world devoid of meaning; a world in which he must find his own purpose and then take total responsibility for his choices. A seminal work of contemporary literary philosophy, Nausea evokes and examines the dizzying angst that can come from simply trying to live.Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) was an iconoclastic French philosopher, novelist, playwright and, widely regarded as the central figure in post-war European culture and political thinking. Sartre famously refused the Nobel Prize for literature in 1964 on the grounds that ''a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution''. His most well-known works, all of which are published by Penguin, include The Age of Reason , Nausea and Iron in the Soul .If you enjoyed Nausea , you might like Albert Camus'' The Outsider , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''One of the very few successful members of the genre "Philosophical Novel" ... a young man''s tour de force ''Iris Murdoch

Beginning on Boston''s subway, he depicts a voyage from ice-bound Massachusetts to the arid plateau of Argentina''s most southerly tip, via pretty Central American towns and the ancient Incan city of Macchu Pichu. Shivering and sweating by turns as the temperature and altitude rise and plummet, he describes the people he encountered - thrown in with the tedious, and unavoidable, Mr Thornberry in Limón and reading to the legendary blind writer, Jorge Luis Borges, in Buenos Aires. Witty, sharply observed and beautifully written, this is a richly evocative account of travelling to ''the end of the line''.Paul Edward Theroux (b. 1941) is an American travel writer and novelist, born in Medford, Massachusetts. Among his best known works of travel-writing are The Great Railway Bazaar (1975), The Old Patagonian Express (1979), and Riding the Iron Rooster (1985). Theroux has published numerous works of fiction, some of which have been adapted into films, including The Mosquito Coast (1981), a 1986 film directed by Peter Weir and starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Theroux is the father of British documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux, and the uncle of American actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux.If you enjoyed The Old Patagonian Express , you might like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry''s Wind, Sand and Stars, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''One of the most entrancing travel books written in our time'' Financial Times ''Travel writing at its most accomplished'' Sunday Telegraph

Feeding Frenzy - Booker nominee Will Self''s dazzling collection of journalism and writing''Self often writes non-fiction as though it were fiction, topping off what we know as reality with the cream of his surreality'' Guardian During the turbulent years of 1995-2000, Will Self surfed the great wave of olive oil which nearly swept British metropolitan culture away, and produced a series of restaurant reviews for The Observer , whose coruscating criticality led to a cabal of restaurateurs plotting his contract killing.

Thompson as well as a quasi-autobiography of the author''s relationship with London, will be adored by fans of Will Self''s fiction and nonfiction.Will Self is the author of nine novels including Cock and Bull ; My Idea of Fun; Great Apes; How the Dead Live; Dorian, an Imitation; The Book of Dave; The Butt; Walking to Hollywood and Umbrella , which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
