Churchill – Ashley Jackson

Anna Howcroft — Wed, 30 May 2018 09:16:34 +0000

Winston Churchill attracted far more criticism alive than he has since his death. He was, according to Evelyn Waugh, “always in the wrong, surrounded by crooks, a terrible father, a radio personality.” To others, he was the savior of the nation, even of Western civilization, “the greatest Briton” who ever lived. Whatever one’s view, Winston Churchill remains splendidly unreduced. He also remains enormous fun-a cartoonist’s and caricaturist’s dream on the one hand, one of the most powerful and successful statesmen in modern history on the other.

Globally famed for his role as a leader during the Second World War, this study resists the temptation to conflate Churchill’s post-war career with Britain’s demise on the international stage. Nor does it endorse the notion that Churchill became an anachronism as he lived and continued to work, at a prodigious rate, through his seventies and eighties. As well as being Britain’s most celebrated politician and war leader, Winston Churchill was a Nobel Prize-winning author. He was one of the most prolific writers of his age and his accounts of the momentous events through which he lived have indelibly marked the way in which modern British history has been conceptualized. Uniquely endowed with talent, energy and determination, Winston Churchill was, as a close wartime colleague put it, “unlike anyone you have ever met before.”

Ashley Jackson describes the contours and contradictions of Churchill’s remarkable life and career as a solider, politician, historian, journalist, painter, amateur farmer and homemaker. From thrusting subaltern to high-flying politician, Cabinet outcast to elder statesman, this is the eternally fascinating story of Winston Churchill’s appointment with destiny

Aleph – Paulo Coelho

Anna Howcroft — Mon, 14 May 2018 12:18:15 +0000

In a frank and surprising personal story, one of the world’s most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self-discovery. Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth, Paulo decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe, Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal-the woman he loved 500 years before-an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself. Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life.

The title of the novel is based on Jorge Luis Borges short-story “The Aleph”, from 1945. (Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew and Arabic alphabet, with many mystical meanings). Coelho spent four years gathering information for the book and wrote it in three weeks

The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho

Anna Howcroft — Mon, 14 May 2018 11:38:10 +0000

Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. This is such a book – a beautiful parable about learning to listen to your heart, read the omens strewn along life’s path and, above all, follow your dreams. Santiago, a young shepherd living in the hills of Andalucia, feels that there is more to life than his humble home and his flock. One day he finds the courage to follow his dreams into distant lands, each step galvanised by the knowledge that he is following the right path: his own. The people he meets along the way, the things he sees and the wisdom he learns are life-changing. With Paulo Coelho’s visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, “The Alchemist” is a story with the power to inspire nations and change people’s lives
