Step into Stephen Fry’s richly colourful world of magic, mayhem, monsters and maniacal gods in MYTHOS: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY . . .
No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses.
In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling, we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld. We shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.
Mythos: The Illustrated Story captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age in striking colour - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.
Die tema van |Die ring| is die balans tussen die manlike en vroulike eienskappe in elke mens. Ons patriargale samelewing berus op 'n foutiewe aanname, glo die skrywer. Die manlike element is nie belangriker as die vroulike nie. Ten einde voluit te lewe, is 'n balans of eenwording tussen 'n individu se manlikheid en vroulikheid nodig.

"What's this you're writing?... asked Pooh, climbing onto the
writing table. "The Tao of Pooh,... I replied. "The how of Pooh?...
asked Pooh, smudging one of the words I had just written. "The Tao
of Pooh,... I replied, poking his paw away with my pencil. "It
seems more like ow! of Pooh,... said Pooh, rubbing his paw. "Well,
it's not,... I replied huffily. "What's it about?... asked Pooh,
leaning forward and smearing another word. "It's about how to stay
happy and calm under all circumstances!... I yelled. "Have you read
it?... asked Pooh... ...Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about
him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most
beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly
demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient Chinese
principles of Taoism. Follow the Pooh Way in this humorous and
enlightening introduction to Taoism, with classic decorations by
E.H.Shepard throughout. Over a million copies sold.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.
The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

'A beautifully dark fairy tale of blood, rage and bitter choice,
that whisked me away to mist-wreathed woods ripe with romance and
menace' Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer In the
luscious, dark conclusion to the series that began with One Dark
Window, Elspeth must face the consequences of what she's wrought -
perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and Alexis
Henderson's The Year of the Witching. Elspeth and Ravyn have
gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last, and
most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders. If they
are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of
the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the
dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom. And the
only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares
Elspeth's head. The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any
longer. Praise for One Dark Window: 'An enchanting tale with sharp
claws and teeth - Gillig's prose will pull you in and won't let you
sleep. Pulse-pounding, darkly whimsical and aglow with treacherous
magic, One Dark Window is everything I love in fantasy and more'
Allison Saft, author of A Far Wilder Magic 'An evocative tale of
romance, mystery and alluring monsters, told in beautifully lush
prose' Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge 'Steeped in brooding
romance, twisted magic and nail-biting intrigue, One Dark Window
snares readers in its deliciously dark spell and leaves them
desperate for more. I couldn't put it down' Kat Delacorte, author
of With Fire in their Blood 'The steamy romance that emerges
between Elspeth and Ravyn delights' Publishers Weekly
