An English Christmas - John Julius Norwich - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

An English Christmas - John Julius Norwich - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''If I could work my will,'' said Scrooge indignantly, ''Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.'' This year go carol-singing in the Cotswolds with Laurie Lee or attend church with a grumpy Samuel Pepys. Make plum puddings for bemused French villagers with Elizabeth David; go present shopping with Virginia Woolf or eat far too much with Agatha Christie. Celebrate Christmas at Chatsworth, in the workhouse or marooned in the ice with Shackleton ... For forty-five years, the arrival of John Julius Norwich''s latest Christmas Cracker became as essential a part of the Christmas experience as holly and mistletoe. In An English Christmas the late legendary popular historian gathered all the best writing about this strangest and most memorable time of year into one book and his brilliant eye for a story is evident on every page.Vividly evoking all the good things about the festive season, this unexpected anthology is just as entertaining about its darker aspects. Eight-year-old Princess Margaret''s thank-you list jostles with moving letters home from the trenches. Sherlock Holmes solves his trickiest case. George Orwell writes about indigestion; Jane Austen about reluctant socialising and Thomas Hardy about the old folk belief that all animals kneel at midnight on 24 December. There are ghost stories, games and bizarre recipes. Diary-entries, recipes and letters sit alongside poems and short stories. An English Christmas could convert any Scrooge into an instant enthusiast.

Devorgilla Days - Kathleen Hart - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Devorgilla Days - Kathleen Hart - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

AN INSPIRING STORY OF STARTING OVER ''We all need a Devorgilla Cottage somewhere in our hearts'' - KIRSTY WARK ''Beautifully written'' - ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG '' A magical and beautifully written memoir and so evocative of Wigtown and its landscape'' - RUTH HOGAN This is a story about uncovering the things that really matter, and discovering what makes us feel alive. It is a story about finding that inner strength and resilience, and never giving up hope. Eight years ago, Kathleen Hart was diagnosed with breast cancer. Further complications led to a protracted recovery and months spent in hospital, where Kathleen had to learn how to walk again. While recuperating, she came across a small whitewashed cottage for sale in Wigtown, Scotland. Driving hundreds of miles on nothing more than a few photographs and an inkling, she bought it that very same day, and named it Devorgilla after the formidable 13th century Scottish princess. Devorgilla Days is the story of how Kathleen left behind her old life to begin again in Scotland''s book capital. From renovating her cottage to exploring the seemingly quiet, but actually bustling town, she encounters a whole community of book lovers, beekeepers, artists and writers - and Lobster Fishermen. Kathleen starts wild swimming, a ritual that brings peace and clarity to her mind as her body heals. And, with the support of her virtual worldwide community who know her as PoshPedlar on Instagram, she rebuilds her life again. Heartwarming and deeply moving, Devorgilla Days is an inspiring tale of one woman''s remarkable journey, a celebration of community, and a call-to-arms for anyone who has ever dreamt of starting over.

Travellers in the Golden Realm - Lubaaba Al Azami - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Travellers in the Golden Realm - Lubaaba Al Azami - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for The British in India Book Prize 2025 ''A spellbinding account of the first forgotten half of the English encounter with India with a fascinating history of the Mughal Empire'' JOSEPHINE QUINN , author of How the World Made the West ''Compelling, highly readable'' NANDINI DAS , author of Courting India ''Remarkable'' THE TIMES When the first English travellers in India encountered an unimaginable superpower, their meetings would change the world. Before the East India Company and before the British Empire, England was a pariah state. Seeking better fortunes, 16th and 17th century merchants, pilgrims and outcasts ventured to the kingdom of the mighty Mughals, attempting to sell coarse woollen broadcloth along the silk roads; playing courtiers in the Mughal palaces in pursuit of love; or simply touring the sub-continent in search of an elephant to ride. Into this golden realm went Father Thomas Stephens, a Catholic fleeing his home; the merchant Ralph Fitch looking for jewels in the markets of Delhi; and John Mildenhall, an adventurer revelling in the highwire politics of the Mughal elite. It was a land ruled from the palatial towers by women - the formidable Empress Nur Jahan Begim, the enterprising Queen Mother Maryam al-Zamani, and the intrepid Princess Jahanara Begim. Their collision of worlds helped connect East and West, launching a tempestuous period of globalisation spanning from the Chinese opium trade to the slave trade in the Americas.Drawing on rich, original sources, Lubaaba Al-Azami traces the origins of a relationship between two nations - one outsider and one superpower - whose cultures remain inextricably linked to this day. '' I lluminating and engrossing'' THE TELEGRAPH ''Vital'' SUZANNAH LIPSCOMB , author of A Visitor''s Companion to Tudor England

A Memoir of My Former Self - Hilary Mantel - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

A Memoir of My Former Self - Hilary Mantel - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''A guide to the mind of one of the great English novelists of the last half-century'' Guardian ''Like hearing the voice of an old friend'' Observer ''Extraordinary . . . a quality of timelessness and prescience'' New Statesman, Book of the Year ''Magical . . . Here we meet not just Mantel the Cromwell-catcher, but Mantel the quill-sharp critic of contemporary life'' The Times, Book of the Year THE MAGNIFICENT FINAL BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WOLF HALL TRILOGY As well as her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of her writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. ''Ink is a generative fluid,'' she explains. ''If you don''t mean your words to breed consequences, don''t write at all.'' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades. Mantel''s subjects are wide-ranging. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life flopping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels - revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England - and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is a selection of her film reviews - from When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop - and, published for the first time, her stunning Reith Lectures, which explore the process of art bringing history and the dead back to life.From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel''s life in her own dazzling words, ''messages from people I used to be.'' Compelling, often very funny, always luminous, it is essential reading from one of our greatest writers. ''A smart, deft, meticulous, thoughtful writer, with such a grasp of the dark and spidery corners of human nature'' Margaret Atwood ''Mantel was a queen of literature . . . her reign was long, varied and uncontested'' Maggie O''Farrell
