Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Is the truth really what we make it? From the inimitable Michael Palin, a warm and intelligent novel about good intentions and human frailty. 'A feel-good story leaving the reader on a real high' OBSERVER Keith Mabbut has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to pen the biography of the elusive Hamish Melville, a highly influential activist and humanitarian. Feeling that his life has reached a crossroad, he seizes the chance to write something meaningful. His search to find out the real story behind the legend takes Mabbut to the lush landscapes and environmental hotspots of India. The more he discovers about Melville, the more he admires him - and the more he connects with an idealist who wanted to make a difference. But is his quarry really who he claims to be? As Keith discovers, the truth can be whatever we make it. 'THE TRUTH is the perfect example of [Palin's] literary brilliance' STYLIST 'An ingeniously plotted book, beautifully written and hugely enjoyable' DAILY TELEGRAPH. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In October 1969, the BBC broadcast the first programme in a new series entitled 'Monty Python's Flying Circus', written and conceived by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Over the years the six of them followed this with another forty-four extremely silly programmes, a German TV special, five full-length feature films, seven books, nine long-playing records and live stage shows that toured the UK, Canada and America. In 'The Very Best of Monty Python', each of the surviving Pythons makes a personal choice of their favourite bits from the vast Python oeuvre. These include: Why accountancy is not boring, Spamalot, The Piranha Brothers, The Lumberjack Song, The Larch, Every Sperm is Sacred, The Ministry of Silly Walks, Always look on the Bright Side of Life, Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink, Rat Recipes, Albatross, Constitutional Peasants, Spam, Monsieur Creosote, The Meaning of Life, I'm so worried, Stan's right to have babies, Careers advice for Mr Anchovy, The Truth about Protestants, The News for Parrots, What have the Romans ever done for us?!, The Undertaker Sketch, Find the Fish, How to Talk to the Queen and many other classics of silliness.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Its not always a grim story. Alongside anger and despair there is love and hope. But the message is stark. This is the way bullies work. When Time Stopped is more than just history. Its a warning. Michael Palin In this remarkably moving memoir Ariana Neumann dives into the secrets of her fathers past: years spent hiding in plain sight in wartorn Berlin, the annihilation of dozens of family members in the Holocaust, and the courageous choice to build anew. In 1941, the first Neumann family member was taken by the Nazis, arrested in German-occupied Czechoslovakia for bathing in a stretch of river forbidden to Jews. He was transported to Auschwitz. Eighteen days later his prisoner number was entered into the morgue book. Of thirty-four Neumann family members, twenty-five were murdered by the Nazis. One of the survivors was Hans Neumann, who, to escape the German death net, travelled to Berlin and hid in plain sight under the Gestapos eyes. What Hans experienced was so unspeakable that, when he built an industrial empire in Venezuela, he couldnt bring himself to talk about it. All his daughter Ariana knew was that something terrible had happened. When Hans died, he left Ariana a small box filled with letters, diary entries and other memorabilia. Ten years later Ariana finally summoned the courage to have the letters translated and she began reading. What she discovered launched her on a worldwide search that would deliver indelible portraits of a family loving, finding meaning, and trying to survive amid the worst that can be imagined. When Time Stopped is an unputdownable detective story and an epic family memoir, spanning nearly ninety years and crossing oceans. Neumann brings each relative to vivid life. In uncovering her fathers story after all these years, she discovers nuance and depth to her own history and liberates poignant and thought-provoking truths about the threads of humanity that connect us all.

Shines a ray of hope into some very dark places' MICHAEL PALIN'A fearless work of imagination' AHDAF SOUEIFWinner of the Palestine Book AwardNahr has been confined to the Cube: nine square metres of glossy grey cinderblock, devoid of time, its patterns of light and dark nothing to do with day and night. Journalists visit her, but get nowhere; because Nahr is not going to share her story with them.The world outside calls Nahr a terrorist, and a whore; some might call her a revolutionary, or a hero. But the truth is, Nahr has always been many things, and had many names.She was a girl who learned, early and painfully, that when you are a second class citizen love is a kind of desperation; she learned, above all else, to survive.She was a girl who went to Palestine in the wrong shoes, and without looking for it found what she had always lacked in the basement of a battered beauty parlour: purpose, politics, friends. She found a dark-eyed man called Bilal, who taught her to resist; who tried to save her when it was already too late.Nahr sits in the Cube, and tells her story to Bilal. Bilal, who isnt there; Bilal, who may not even be alive, but who is her only reason to get out. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: Bueno. THE BOOK BEHIND THE HIT DOCUMENTARYA glimpse of life inside the world?s most secretive country, as told by Britain?s best-loved travel writer.In May 2018, former Monty Python stalwart and intrepid globetrotter Michael Palin spent two weeks in the notoriously secretive Democratic People?s Republic of Korea, a cut-off land without internet or phone signal, where the countryside has barely moved beyond a centuries-old peasant economy but where the cities have gleaming skyscrapers and luxurious underground train stations. His resulting documentary for Channel 5 was widely acclaimed.Now he shares his day-by-day diary of his visit, in which he describes not only what he saw ? and his fleeting views of what the authorities didn?t want him to see ? but recounts the conversations he had with the country?s inhabitants, talks candidly about his encounters with officialdom, and records his musings about a land wholly unlike any other he has ever visited ? one that inspires fascination and fear in equal measure.Written with Palin?s trademark warmth and wit, and illustrated with beautiful colour photographs throughout, the journal offers a rare insight into the North Korea behind the headlines.

Signed bookplate (Signed bookplate affixed to one of the title pages) 'Painful, raw and with an honesty that rings clear as a bell' Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister A searing account of a mother's late-diagnosis of autism - and its reaching effects on a whole family. '[A] vividly told and profoundly affecting memoir' The Bookseller 'A brilliant, searing account and I defy anyone not to be gripped by it.' Sally Magnusson Anna grew up in a house that was loving, even if her mum was 'a little eccentric'. They knew to keep things clean, to stay quiet, and to look the other way when things started to get 'a bit much for your mum'. It's only when her mother reaches her 70s, and Anna has a family of her own, that the cracks really start to appear. More manic. More irrational. More detached from the world. And when her father, the man who has calmed and cajoled her mother through her entire life becomes unwell, the whole world turns upside down. This is a story of a life lived with undiagnosed autism, about the person behind the disorder, those big unspoken family truths, and what it means to care for our parents in their final years.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Joseph Gales was one of the all-time great Sheffielders - forget Joe Cocker, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sean Bean or Michael Palin. These are all minnows compared to Joseph Gales - and their stories are boring besides that of the Galeses. The Galeses story has been forgotten and has not been brought together in one place before - it is not just something dredged up from history - an irrelevant dusty skeleton. What they tried to do for freedom of the press, and for free speech - principles for which they had to flee the country, principles which they took with them to America and put into practice there - is something which will resonate today. We have seen the Free Press demonised and accused of 'fake news' just for holding up the mirror of truth (not 'alternative truth') to power. They believed in Parliament being held to account by the people - they would have much to say today where the votes of 37% of the electorate in the UK are held up as being an 'overwhelming mandate' to push one of the most momentous, critical decisions taken by government in decades, and which has nothing to do with returning power to people, but further restricting it. There is more than a hint of the rotten boroughs still hanging over British 'democracy.' In many ways we have made progress but in many ways we are taking retrograde steps, and under threat of losing hard-won liberties. Joseph and Winifred Gales are very relevant 230 years on. 164 pp. Englisch.
