The bestselling and critically acclaimed novel from Paul Murray, Skippy Dies, shortlisted for the 2010 Costa Book Awards, longlisted for the 2010 Booker Prize, and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Why does Skippy, a fourteen-year-old boy at Dublin's venerable Seabrook College, end up dead on the floor of the local doughnut shop? Could it have something to do with his friend Ruprecht Van Doren, an overweight genius who is determined to open a portal into a parallel universe using ten-dimensional string theory? Could it involve Carl, the teenage drug dealer and borderline psychotic who is Skippy's rival in love? Or could "the Automator"-the ruthless, smooth-talking headmaster intent on modernizing the school-have something to hide? Why Skippy dies and what happens next is the subject of this dazzling and uproarious novel, unraveling a mystery that links the boys of Seabrook College to their parents and teachers in ways nobody could have imagined. With a cast of characters that ranges from hip-hop-loving fourteen-year-old Eoin "MC Sexecutioner" Flynn to basketball playing midget Philip Kilfether, packed with questions and answers on everything from Ritalin, to M-theory, to bungee jumping, to the hidden meaning of the poetry of Robert Frost, Skippy Dies is a heartfelt, hilarious portrait of the pain, joy, and occasional beauty of adolescence, and a tragic depiction of a world always happy to sacrifice its weakest members. As the twenty-first century enters its teenage years, this is a breathtaking novel from a young writer who will come to define his generation.

"I call her nature's magic" unveils a tapestry of emotions, delicately threading together the raw experiences of shattered love and the arduous path towards self-empowerment. Each verse, meticulously chosen and exquisitely penned, captures the essence of heartache, allowing readers to immerse themselves in its haunting melodies. These small fragments of verse, like droplets of rain on a parched soul, resonate with the universal experience of heartbreak, guiding readers through the labyrinth of emotions and inspiring them to reclaim their confidence. Through the author's intimate exploration of pain and growth, "I call her nature's magic" becomes a sanctuary for healing hearts.

This book "uses the letters written home by an imaginary Chinese philosopher, Lien Chi Altangi, to provide an estranged perspective--both naèive and critical--on the imperial metropolis and the transformation of British society across the eighteenth century"--

"Vintage Stoppard in itsintelligence and wit." -VarietyIt is1936, and A. E. Housman is being ferried across the river Styx, glad to be deadat last-yet his memories are dramatically alive. Confronting his younger selffrom the vantage of death, Housman thinks back to the man he loved, who couldnot return his feelings, and considers the Oxford of his youth, suffused withthe flamboyant influence of the Wildean Aesthetic movement and the restrictionsof High Victorian morality. Winner of the Evening Standard's Best PlayAward, The Invention of Love inhabits Housman's imagination as if adream, illuminating both the pain of hopeless love and the passion displacedinto poetry.

A partire dagli anni '40, il giornalismo sportivo iniziò a prendere forma nei giornali stampati del Piauí. Con la professionalizzazione del giornalismo, gli editorialisti sportivi, anche senza aver frequentato corsi, sono riusciti a rendere il periodo dal 1963 al 1983 il più prospero per la professione. Con il calcio che ottiene l'appoggio degli agenti politici, i giornalisti trasformano lo sport in un argomento di dibattito sociale. Attraverso i reportage, possiamo costruire un panorama dell'attività nel Piauí basandoci sui comuni di Teresina e Parnaíba, dove il calcio locale ha avuto inizio. Riportando gli eventi sociali, è possibile vedere come il calcio, la stampa e la politica abbiano stabilito un rapporto di complicità. Il "pane e il circo" della società brasiliana durante la dittatura militare, dove il calcio era lo strumento più importante ed efficace nella strategia di controllo sociale, e quanto la stampa vi abbia contribuito.

Seit den 1940er Jahren nahm der Sportjournalismus in den gedruckten Zeitungen von Piauí allmählich Gestalt an. Mit der Professionalisierung des Journalismus gelang es den Sportkolumnisten, auch ohne Ausbildung, die Zeit von 1963 bis 1983 zur blühendsten für diesen Beruf zu machen. Mit der Unterstützung der politischen Akteure verwandelten die Journalisten den Sport in ein Thema für die gesellschaftliche Debatte. Anhand der Berichte können wir ein Panorama der Aktivitäten in Piauí erstellen, das sich auf die Gemeinden Teresina und Parnaíba stützt, wo der lokale Fußball seinen Anfang nahm. Anhand der sozialen Ereignisse lässt sich erkennen, wie Fußball, Presse und Politik eine Beziehung der Komplizenschaft eingegangen sind. Die "Brot und Spiele" der brasilianischen Gesellschaft während der Militärdiktatur, in der der Fußball das wichtigste und wirksamste Instrument in der Strategie der sozialen Kontrolle war, und wie sehr die Presse dazu beitrug.

Depuis les années 1940, le journalisme sportif a commencé à prendre forme dans les journaux imprimés du Piauí. Avec la professionnalisation du journalisme, les chroniqueurs sportifs, même sans avoir suivi de cours, ont réussi à faire de la période de 1963 à 1983 la plus prospère pour la profession. Le football ayant gagné le soutien des agents politiques, les journalistes ont ensuite transformé le sport en un sujet de débat social. Les reportages permettent de dresser un panorama de l'activité au Piauí à partir des municipalités de Teresina et de Parnaíba, où le football local a vu le jour. En évoquant les événements sociaux, il est possible de voir comment le football, la presse et la politique ont établi une relation de complicité. Le "pain et le cirque" de la société brésilienne pendant la dictature militaire, où le football était l'instrument le plus important et le plus efficace dans la stratégie de contrôle social, et comment la presse y a contribué.

Bill Meulemans is an American author with no ties to Ireland. He lived and worked with working-class folks on both sides of the sectarian walls of Belfast during some of the darkest days of the conflict, building extensive personal friendships with both Catholics and Protestants. Meulemans did not waste a minute of his 14 years in Belfast. He was out on the street every day talking with the most vulnerable folks in town. Each of the 28 stories in this book gives a personal account that spans all his paramilitary connections, along with Irish and British officials, as well as the police. But he did have his share of close calls, including a time when Protestant loyalists thought he was a spy, and when a police commander intentionally knocked him down at an IRA funeral. But there were non-political times as well, when he brought a Trappist Monk and an Irish prize fighter together who had not been in touch for 54 years, and when he likely saved the lives of a young Irish couple who were being hunted by family members who planned to kill them. Yet there are tender moments in the book including a time when the author took an apprehensive, working-class Protestant mother from Belfast on her first visit to the South of Ireland where her son was to marry a Catholic. There was never a dull moment in his effort to make as many friends as possible. Bill Meulemans was a visiting professor of politics at The Queen's University of Belfast for 11 years, which gave him access to a wide section of young people across the province. When he wasn't in the classroom, he was on the street in the small neighborhoods that dot the Belfast sectarian landscape. He was trusted by folks who seldom trusted anyone.

By mixing text, 3D animation and a dynamic physicality, this play is a powerful look at the ripple effects of one man's decision.

Born in County Meath, Robert John Hunter was educated at Wesley College and Trinity College, Dublin. After graduation he began his extensive and all-consuming research on the Ulster Plantation. Through his meticulous research he gained an encyclopaedic knowledge of his subject acquiring a reputation as one of the great experts on this seminal event in Irish history.Published for the first time is Bob Hunter's MLitt dissertation 'The Ulster Plantation in the Counties of Armagh and Cavan 1608-41, a fascinating study of two counties that were an integral part of the Plantation of Ulster.In his penetrating analysis of the impact of Plantation in Armagh and Cavan, R.J. Hunter demonstrates his mastery of the sources, his eye for detail and his succinctness of presentation. Hunter's command of his subject - in places magisterial - was grounded on a strong chronological foundation, in which each development was located in its proper time and place.The depth of understanding that Hunter brings to these and other aspects of plantation society is matched by the depth of the archival research that underpins it.

And that's the moment when I leave.The moment when the jokes fail us. When I fail. I fail.This precise moment here, look, see with your ears.The Fool leaves King Lear before the blinding. Before the killing starts. Before the ice-creams in the interval.In his new solo work, playwright Tim Crouch draws on ideas of virtual reality to send the Fool back to the future of the play that he left. Back to a world without moral leadership or integrity; a world where wealth covers vice; where the poor are dehumanised; where the jokes fall flat; where live art has become the privilege of the few.Truth's a Dog Must to Kennel is a daringly unaccommodating piece of theatre that switches between scathingly funny stand-up and an audacious act of collective imagining. King Lear meets stand-up meets the metaverse. Crouch's previous celebrated works include An Oak Tree, The Author, Adler & Gibb, Total Immediate Collective Imminent Terrestrial Salvation, and Beginners.This edition was published to coincide with the production at The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in August 2022.
