Thirteen-year-old Agostino is spending the summer at a Tuscan seaside resort with his beautiful widowed mother. When she takes up with a cocksure new companion, Agostino, feeling ignored and unloved, begins hanging around with a group of local young toughs. Though repelled by their squalor and brutality, and repeatedly humiliated for his weakness and ignorance when it comes to women and sex, the boy is increasingly, masochistically drawn to the gang and its rough games. He finds himself unable to make sense of his troubled feelings. Hoping to be full of manly calm, he is instead beset by guilty curiosity and an urgent desire to sever, at any cost, the thread of troubled sensuality that binds him to his mother. Alberto Moravia's classic, startling portrait of innocence lost was written in 1942 but rejected by Fascist censors and not published until 1944, when it became a best seller and secured the author the first literary prize of his career. Revived here in a new translation by Michael F. Moore, Agostino is poised to captivate a twenty-first-century audience.

The Shadows of Existence is a raw, lyrical exploration of the human condition, spanning twenty years of poetic reflection on despair, doubt, and the search for self-acceptance. Divided into seven thematic chapters, The poet weaves a tapestry of personal struggle and philosophical inquiry, drawing from both inner battles and outer journeys.The collection delves into deep emotional and psychological terrain, shaped by long silences, lost beliefs, fractured identities, and a restless pursuit of meaning in a world that offers few answers. Influenced by philosophy and religions, the poems address addiction, loss, spiritual exhaustion, and the slow, painful process of self-reconstruction.This is not a book of easy hope or neat conclusions. It confronts uncomfortable truths-the absence of divine clarity, the fragility of ego, and the pain of impermanence. Yet within this darkness, the poems search for movement: toward clarity, humility, and the delicate grace found in simply existing.For readers of existential poetry and introspective thought, The Shadows of Existence offers a companion through the raw process of becoming-a journey confronting existential dissatisfaction.

'Tragic, touching and terrifying' - The Telegraph 'A flat-out masterpiece' - The New York Times Book Review Embark on a death-defying journey through war-torn Afghanistan in this moving travelogue from Rory Stewart, bestselling author of Politics on the Edge and co-host of the hit podcast The Rest Is Politics. Caught between hostile nations, warring factions and competing ideologies, Afghanistan was in turmoil following the US invasion. Travelling entirely on foot and following the inaccessible mountainous route once taken by the Mughal emperor Babur the Great, Rory Stewart was nearly defeated by the extreme, hostile conditions. Only with the help of an unexpected companion, and the generosity of the people he met on the way, did he survive to report back on his journey with unique insight on a region closed to the world by twenty-four years of war.

A terrifying 1930s ghost story set in the haunting wilderness of the far north. January 1937. Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound London. Twenty-eight year old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he's offered the chance to join an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it. Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five men and eight huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for the next year. Gruhuken. But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He faces a stark choice. Stay or go. Soon he will see the last of the sun, as the polar night engulfs the camp in months of darkness. Soon he will reach the point of no return - when the sea will freeze, making escape impossible. And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Jack is not alone. Something walks there in the dark...

An in-depth chapter-by-chapter look at the journey of becoming who God called you to be, and how to get there. The Field Notes Study Guide engages the reader to take a personal assessment at the beginning of each chapter followed by a study of the corresponding chapter of the original book, "The Making of a Godly Warrior." Additionally, each chapter guides development as well as thought-provoking questions for the reader to gauge personal spiritual development. This study can be equally effective in either a group or individual study. Endorsement: "Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out." Proverbs 20:5. A perfect companion to The Making of a Godly Warrior, the Field Notes Guide builds upon a rock-solid foundation. In it, the author asks probing questions that draw out deep waters of counsel from the heart of the reader. I can't think of a more effective way to drive home the deep truths in The Making of a Godly Warrior. Only through deep introspection can true change happen. You shouldn't read the Field Notes Guide in one sitting. It is meant as a travel companion through life. A chapter each week, or even a chapter each month is about the right speed. You'll want to devote sufficient time to absorb, apply, and enjoy these deep truths. Immerse yourself in the journey. You're going to love it. And God will richly bless you. ~Randy J. Harris, Assistant Vice President/Treasury. About the Author: Scott thoroughly enjoys hiking with his wife in the captivating scenery of the Great Smoky Mountains with endless trails that lead to waterfalls and breathtaking views. He finds many correlations between hiking through the forest and the spiritual journey of following Christ. Scott and Gigi enjoy a wonderful family of five children and eleven grandchildren living mostly in New England, albeit excited to visit this land known as "God's Country."
