A beautifully produced account of the history and importance of Hadrian's Wall, by a bestselling author and expert on Ancient Rome. \n\nLocated at the far-flung and wild edge of the Roman Empire, Hadrian's Wall was constructed by Emperor Hadrian in the 120s AD. Vast in size and stretching from the east to the west coast of the northern part of Britannia, it is the largest monument left by the Roman empire – all the more striking because it lies so far from Rome. Today, it is one of the most visited heritage sites in the country.\n\nYet the story of the Wall is far more than the development of a line of fortifications and the defence of a troublesome imperial frontier. Generation after generation of soldiers served there, with their families as well as traders and other foreign and local civilians in and around the army bases. The glimpses of this vibrant, multinational community in Adrian Goldsworthy's masterly book bring the bare stones to life.\n\nGoldsworthy also considers why and how the wall was built, and discusses the fascinating history, afterlife and archaeology of this unique ancient monument.

È il racconto completo di una vita, dalla nascita fino ai giorni attuali. Il protagonista descrive e racconta in modo crudo e veritiero le difficoltà dei primi tempi finita la Seconda guerra mondiale, la tragedia della malattia, i problemi della povertà, il rimpianto degli studi mancati, i lavori molto umili ai quali si è adattato per necessità della famiglia. Il suo più grande desiderio, dopo la difficile esperienza distruttiva del lavoro in fabbrica, era di cambiare vita e allo stesso tempo avere un futuro diverso secondo le sue aspettative. Per fare questo non ebbe aiuto esterno ma ha dovuto affidarsi soltanto alla sua forte e decisa volontà sostenuta da un innato ottimismo, da una caparbietà e dalla facilità di prendere decisioni anche dirompenti per andare incontro a sfide sempre più difficili contando solo ed esclusivamente sulla fiducia piena delle sue capacità collaudate nel tempo trascorso con le innumerevoli aziende per le quali ha prestato il suo lavoro.

A satire of our times. Very funny indeed Sunday Times \n\n'My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and me' ADAM KAY\n\nFEATURED IN 'THE 100 BOOKS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD' BBC ARTS \n\nThe Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 is the first book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. \n\nFriday January 2nd\n\nI felt rotten today. It's my mother's fault for singing 'My Way' at two o'clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home.\n\nMeet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared.\n_________\n\nNOW A MAJOR MUSICAL \n\n'I not only wept, I howled and hooted and had to get up and walk around the room and wipe my eyes so that I could go on reading' Tom Sharpe\n\n'We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful' Heat

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE\n\n'An intense, succulent read that's intermittently dazzling' THE TIMES\n'Chilling, exquisitely moving' DAILY TELEGRAPH\n'A superb memoir - and one of the best books on addiction I have ever read' EVENING STANDARD\n\nA. A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon. He tells the truth - as far as he can remember it - about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. He recalls the lost days, lost friends, failed marriages ... But there was also an 'optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden'.\n\nSobriety regained, there are painterly descriptions of people and places, unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion; and most movingly, the connections between his cooking, dyslexia and his missing brother. \n\nFull of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, POUR ME is about lost time and self-discovery. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon.

Dawn breaks over Vancouver and no one in the world has slept the night before, or almost no one. A few people, perhaps one in ten thousand, can still sleep, and they've all shared the same golden dream. After six days of absolute sleep deprivation, psychosis will set in. After four weeks, the body will die. In the interim, panic ensues and a bizarre new world arises in which those previously on the fringes of society take the lead. Paul, a writer, continues to sleep while his partner Tanya disintegrates before his eyes, and the new world swallows the old one whole.

Theatre, food, refugees: in Adrians writing they're all linked up ... If you haven't read his book AA GILL IS AWAY, read it now. It was when he was away that he was at his best' Stephen Daldry\n\nA. A. Gill was probably the most read columnist in Britain. Every weekend he entertained readers of the SUNDAY TIMES with his biting observations on television and his unsparing, deeply knowledgeable restaurant reviews. Even those who objected to his opinions agree: his writing is hopelessly, painfully funny. He was one of a tiny band of must-read journalists and it was always a disappointment when the words 'A.A. Gill is away' appeared at the foot of his column. This book is the fruit of those absences: twenty-five long travel pieces that belie his reputation as a mere style-journalist and master of vitriol: this is travel writing of the highest quality and ambition.

For over twenty years, people turned to A. A. Gill's columns every Sunday - for his fearlessness, his perception, and the laughter-and-tear-provoking one-liners - but mostly because he was the best. 'By miles the most brilliant journalist of our age', as Lynn Barber put it. This is the definitive collection of a voice that was silenced too early but that can still make us look at the world in new and surprising ways.\n\nIn the words of Andrew Marr, A.. A. Gill was 'a golden writer'. There was nothing that he couldn't illuminate with his dazzling prose. Wherever he was - at home or abroad - he found the human story, brought it to vivid life, and rendered it with fierce honesty and bracing compassion. And he was just as truthful about himself. There have been various collections of A. A. Gill's journalism - individual compilations of his restaurant and TV criticism, of his travel writing and his extraordinary feature articles. This book showcasesthe very best of his work: the peerlessly funny criticism, the extraordinarily knowledgeable food writing, assignments throughout the world, and reflections on life, love, and death. Drawn from a range of publications, including the Sunday Times, Vanity Fair, Tatler and Australian Gourmet Traveller, The Ivy Cookbook and his books on England and America, it is by turns hilarious, uplifting, controversial, unflinching, sad, funny and furious.

\"Lei non deve pensare a nulla, soldato. Deve solo eseguire. E se io le dico che il domani non esiste, lei si deve impegnare a fare tutto oggi\". Nel 1982, un'Argentina in crisi, dilaniata dalla contestazione contro la giunta militare, richiama alle armi una generazione nella speranza che il sentimento patriottico e una facile guerra lampo riescano a ricompattare la nazione. Adrian Bravi racconta la guerra delle Malvine attraverso la storia delle sue recinte, nei cui occhi il tragico di un conflitto assurdo si trasforma in comico. Sud 1982 coglie i sentimenti della guerra, di chi aspetta il congedo, di chi è stato appena arruolato, di chi ritorna a casa ma continua a sentirsi un soldato, di chi si aggira nell'accampamento con un libro di poesie nella tasca dell'uniforme. E il senso rimane al di là dell'attesa straziante che la guerra impone a chi, riluttante, vi partecipa.
