The honest and powerful autobiography from basketball legend Jerry West is a must-read for fans of the game. He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch," who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day. Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story -- from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration.

With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. 'Doctor Watson, Mr Sherlock Holmes' - The most famous introduction in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet, bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective's faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to the burning plains of Utah. The Sign of the Four, the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with one of his greatest challenges. The theft of the Agna treasure in India forms a catalyst for treachery, deceit and murder. With these two classic novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, you have the brilliant foundation of the Sherlock Holmes canon. Reading pleasure rarely comes any finer.

“[I]t’s the art which makes Blutch so enticing. His thick chalks and scratchy pens result in smoky environments and characters that, though captured on the page, display a great sense of movement. . . . Blutch may not be quintessentially French, but the vibrant, vibrating bodies of Mitchum are quintessentially Blutch.” —Nicholas Burman, The Quietus "One of our greatest artists." — L’Express "[Blutch’s] work has tremendously inspired myself and an endless line of cartoonists, humbled by the virtuosity of [his] lush brushwork.

Ryuichi Sakamoto ist einer der bedeutendsten Künstler unserer Zeit. Seine sagenhafte Karriere umspannt über vier Jahrzehnte. In den späten 70ern erfindet er mit seiner Band Yellow Magic Orchestra den japanischen Techno-Pop, veröffentlicht als Solo-Künstler erste Alben zwischen elektronischer, klassischer und Weltmusik und wird als Shooting Star gefeiert. In den 80er und 90er Jahren komponiert er legendäre Soundtracks für „Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence“, „Der Himmel über der Wüste“ und „Little Buddha“. Für die Filmmusik zu „Der letzte Kaiser“ wird er 1987 mit dem Oscar ausgezeichnet. Bis heute gibt Sakamoto seiner Musik über Kollaborationen mit anderen wegweisenden Komponisten, Regisseuren und Konzeptkünstlern immer wieder neue Impulse. Seit der Atomkatastrophe von Fukushima engagiert er sich zudem stark als Umweltaktivist und gilt als einer der Wortführer der Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung in Japan. Regisseur Stephen Nomura Schible hat den Komponisten seit 2012 mit der Kamera begleitet. 2014 wird bei Sakamoto Mundrachenkrebs diagnostiziert, und der Musiker bricht alle Projekte ab. Als die Dreharbeiten weitergehen können, zieht Sakamoto vor dem Hintergrund der ökologischen Situation seines Heimatlandes und seiner persönlichen Lebenskrise Resümee. Archivmaterial aus dem vielgestaltigem Künstlerleben stellt der Film neben aktuelle Bilder, in denen der Komponist mit neuen Kräften wieder zurück zu seiner Arbeit findet, zurück zu seiner Suche nach Klängen, die der Wahrnehmung unserer Welt neue Wege eröffnen, zurück zu einem neuen musikalischen Ausdruck. RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: CODA ist nicht nur das tief berührende Porträt eines einzigartigen Künstlers, sondern auch ein faszinierender Film über den kreativen Prozess. Kein Ausklang, sondern ein Neubeginn.

After Philip's older sister and sole family member Helen marries, he goes off to live with his new step sister Lucy. He has trouble adjusting at first, thrown into the world different from his previous life and abandoned by his sister while she is on her honeymoon. To entertain himself he builds a giant model city from things around the house: game pieces, books, blocks, bowls, etc. Then through some magic, he finds himself inside the city, and it is alive with the people he has populated it with. Some soldiers find him and tell him that two outsiders have been foretold to be coming: a Deliverer and a Destroyer. Mr. Noah, from a Noah's Ark playset, tells Philip that there are seven great deeds to be performed if he wants to prove himself the Deliverer. Lucy, too, has found her way into the city and joins Philip as a co-Deliverer, much to his chagrin. A Golden Deer Classics Audiobook.

At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England's history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England-until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight. Soon, another practicing magician comes forth: the young, handsome, and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic, straining his partnership with Norrell, and putting at risk everything else he holds dear.

A Best of 2021 Pick for NPR Amazon Kobo Barnes & Noble Book Riot Red, White & Royal Blue meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in debut author Freya Marske's A Marvellous Light, featuring an Edwardian England full of magic, contracts, and conspiracies. Robin Blyth has more than enough bother in his life. He's struggling to be a good older brother, a responsible employer, and the harried baronet of a seat gutted by his late parents' excesses. When an administrative mistake sees him named the civil service liaison to a hidden magical society, he discovers what's been operating beneath the unextraordinary reality he's always known. Now Robin must contend with the beauty and danger of magic, an excruciating deadly curse, and the alarming visions of the future that come with it-not to mention Edwin Courcey, his cold and prickly counterpart in the magical bureaucracy, who clearly wishes Robin were anyone and anywhere else. Robin's predecessor has disappeared, and the mystery of what happened to him reveals unsettling truths about the very oldest stories they've been told about the land they live on and what binds it. Thrown together and facing unexpected dangers, Robin and Edwin discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles-and a secret that more than one person has already died to keep.
