A professional psychologist spent his entire life believing he had no ability or interest in sport. Then, in his forties, he became a champion ultradistance athlete before breaking the world record for the fastest bicycle crossing of Europe. This journey - made entirely alone and without any support crew - went from the northernmost point in the Arctic down to the very southernmost point in Spain. Averaging 377 kilometres each day and with up to 18 hours in the saddle at a time, the total distance of 6367 km was covered in well under 17 days, knocking more than two days off the previous record. It was a journey of ultimate self-reliance. Endless Perfect Circles is not just a tale of sleep de...

Seers and Judges

Alexis de Tocqueville asserted that America had no truly great literature, and that American writers merely mimicked the British and European traditions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This new edited collection masterfully refutes Tocqueville's monocultural myopia and reveals the distinctive role American poetry and prose have played in reflecting and passing judgment upon the core values of American democracy. The essays, profiling the work of Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Updike, Edith Wharton, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Willa Cather, Walker Percy, and Tom Wolfe, reveal how America's greatest writers have acted as society's most ardent cheerleaders and its most penetrating critics. Christine Dunn Henderson's exciting new work offers literature as a portal through which to view the philosophical principles that animate America's political order and the mores which either reinforce or undermine them.

The Prophecy spoke of another thirteen, to destroy or create the future. They were named the Damned Thirteen. He is one of thirteen, he is Hareem, he is Markus. He is alone. His Matriarch torn apart before him, deserted, abandoned, he has no-one. He cannot reconnect with humanity, or for that matter his own kind. He is lost, adrift amongst the detritus of the world, with no reason to live. Yet a reason presents itself in the form of Walker. He is one of thirteen, he is Walker, his humanity stolen from him, restrained from his family by his own cravings, the beast within him struggling to take control, to slake it's thirst for blood and unleash devastation. Together as brothers, they must find redemption; they must find a purpose where atonement is possible. But war is a difficult place to gain retribution. One of Thirteen is the fifth volume in the gripping Crimson Lore saga, a further tale dreamt up by the extraordinary imagination of P D Ingledew, of blood, loss and retribution.

‘Walker is my name and I am the same. Riddley Walker. Walking my riddels where ever theyve took me and walking them now on this paper the same. There aint that many sir prizes in life if you take noatis of every thing. Every time will have its happenings out and every place the same. Thats why I finely come to writing all this down. Thinking on what the idear of us myt be. Thinking on that thing whats in us lorn and loan and oansome.’ Composed in an English which has never been spoken and laced with a storytelling tradition that predates the written word, RIDDLEY WALKER is the world waiting for us at the bitter end of the nuclear road. It is desolate, dangerous and harrowing, and a modern masterpiece.
