Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -IMAGINEyou are Luka, a twelve-year-old boy who has to save the life of the storyteller father you adore.IMAGINEyou have two loyal companions by your side: a bear called Dog who can sing and a dog called Bear who can dance. IMAGINEyou must now embark on a journey through the Magic World to steal the Fire of Life, a seemingly impossible and exceedingly dangerous task.With Haroun and the Sea of Stories Salman Rushdie proved that he is one of the best contemporary writers of fables, and it proved to be one of his most popular books with readers of all ages. While Haroun was written as a gift for his first son, Luka and the Fire of Life, the story of Haroun's younger brother, is a gift for his second son on his twelfth birthday. Lyrical, rich with word-play, and with the narrative tension of the classic quest stories, this is Salman Rushdie at his very best. 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - How have the modern world, technology and our addiction to information changed who we are What effect does it have on our relationships, minds and bodies What can the simple act of sitting still teach us about ourselves When Tim Parks fails to find a cause for his crippling chronic pain, he turns to meditation. This is, however, not your average self-help book or conversion story; instead, it is a refreshingly honest and profoundly moving introspection of one writer and his quest to overcome the inner battle between mind and body. A revelatory read with delightful cultural and literary references, Teach us to Sit Still by Booker-shortlisted author Tim Parks examines how the philosophy of 'sit still, relax and stop worrying' can be profoundly life-altering.'Teach us to Sit Still made me laugh; it made me cry; and it made me seriously think about taking up Vispassana meditation' The Times 352 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The New Machiavelli is a gripping account of life inside 'the bunker' of Number 10. In his twenty-first century reworking of Niccolo Machiavelli's influential masterpiece, The Prince, Jonathan Powell - Tony Blair's Chief of Staff from 1994 - 2007 - recounts the inside story of that period, drawing on his own unpublished diaries. Taking the lessons of Machiavelli derived from his experience as an official in fifteenth-century Florence, Powell shows how these lessons can still apply today. Illustrating each of Machiavelli's maxims with a description of events that occurred during Tony Blair's time as Prime Minister, The New Machiavelli is designed to be The Prince for modern times.
