Real Life is Elsewhere - Mark Stewart Jones - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Real Life is Elsewhere - Mark Stewart Jones - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

"For I saw in you the mongrel angel that saw in me the same " Following a bereavement, Mark, a disillusioned middle-aged writer seeking something like enlightenment (or an epiphany, he’s not sure), travels to Charleville in Northern France to visit the hometown of his hero, the poet Rimbaud. As he wanders Mark muses on the nature of obsession and how our heroes might be no more than projections of our deepest needs and fears. He also focuses on a famous line of Rimbaud’s – “je est un autre”. “I is another”. When he meets a local woman there is an instant connection and their conversation continues as they traverse the streets together over 24 hours. But something strange is happening. Immediately Anne knows his story and the events of his life. She knows his mind. Has he found his autre? We follow them as Mark narrates in his head the book he will never write, with interjections from characters brought to life by his imagination … and often against his will. Real Life is Elsewhere is an entirely original, unique take on love, ageing and the process of writing.

A Virtual Reality - Mark Harris - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

What would it feel like to actually travel back in time? How meaningful or dangerous could it be to embark on such a voyage? Where on earth might a suitable candidate and launch site be found? And when would be the chosen era for a journey to the past? Divorcee David, an early-retired journalist residing in the university city of Cambridge, can and will answer these intriguing questions as he is offered a unique and mind-blowing opportunity to travel back in time to medieval Cambridge - despite having to satisfy a requisite pre-condition that is, literally, quite alien to him. His journey will take him on a transit across the centuries; including encounters with two special women. David invites you to accompany him on this incredible, unpredictable and perilous exploit in what was, to him, a virtually real world. For some of those involved, the story would end tragically; for others, life and happiness will prevail. But who is destined for which ending...? Readers of time travel fiction will delight in this first person account that plays with the laws of physics and engages with the history of its characters. Take a seat in a time travel venture that will grip you until the surprising final pages. Praise for Mark Harris’ other works: “Mark Harris’ style makes for easy reading and comprehension. He paints the background to each story with a delicate, gentle, and at times humorous touch.” - D J Coppel, BJR “I enjoyed this book more than I could ever have thought possible.” - Reggie Ross, Belfast Jewish Recorder

Hester, Huckleberry and the Sugar House Hauntings - Mark Roland Langdale - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Hester, Huckleberry and the Sugar House Hauntings - Mark Roland Langdale - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Mark Roland Langdale’s third children’s book is a wacky and wonderful read that debunks the stigma of dyslexia. Hester, Huckleberry and the Sugar House Hauntings is a coming of age tale between Hester and Huckleberry who encounter a haunted sugar house, a haunted steamboat named the grey lady (who, when she puts her mind to it, can fly!), a flying ice cream bicycle cart, and a whole host of dark and magical creatures. Having suffered with dyslexia his whole life, Mark’s stories also share an important message about encouraging a love of reading and writing in those who also experience difficulty with words. His previous book Penny Farthing and the Man in the Moon also confronted issues surrounding autism – a common theme as Mark delves into real life issues that are affecting young children today. Full of wildly colourful illustrations, Mark’s stories encapsulate the true essence of a joyful children’s book that appeal to children age 8 and over. With more magic and mystery than you can shake a stick at, this book is a truly eye-opening and enjoyable read.

Capitalism Versus Communism - Mark Hichens - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Capitalism Versus Communism - Mark Hichens - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Cold War was a series of momentous worldwide events and Capitalism Vs Communism is designed to give an introductory overview, while also providing context for more recent political moments. The conflict played out between communism and capitalism for most of the second half of the twentieth century came quickly to be termed the Cold War. The birth of communism in Europe can be traced as far back as Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto of 1848 but the ideology was first actively imposed only after the 1917 revolution in Russia under the leadership of Lenin followed by Stalin. During the Second World War, an uneasy alliance between capitalism and communism led to the defeat of Nazi Germany but with the coming of peace, that alliance was replaced by Russian domination of Eastern Europe, while China was overrun by Mao Tse-Tung’s communist forces. The Cold War began immediately after the end of WW2 when the United States sought to prevent the spread of communism. Mark Hichens has delivered a well researched, but accessible introduction to the Cold War and its lasting effects.

The Trust Paradigm - Mark Herbert - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Trust Paradigm - Mark Herbert - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Trust in our culture at large, in our institutions and in our companies is significantly lower than a generation ago. In any normality trust is paramount, but given current world events, never has there been more need for increased trust. This simple formula emphasizes the key elements of trust for individuals and for organizations. The Trust Paradigm draws on the hard-won truths of two authors, Geoff Hudson-Searle and Mark Herbert, and draws on their deep personal lessons from life and business practice, and their efforts to distil those lessons into principles that lead towards a more purposeful life. The book is intended to be both a holistic overview of what generates and builds trust, and a hands-on guide to how that can be done. A wide range of tips, models and techniques that will help to build strong and effective trust solutions in today’s business world are combined with a range of insights into the topical subjects of the day. The term ‘trust’ has been overused forever and, during the last decade, considerably devalued. In this book, the authors aim to take the concept back to its essentials and to re-evaluate how real, meaningful trust can be incorporated into management and leadership.

Pancho II - Don Eric Carroll - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Pancho II - Don Eric Carroll - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Old-style incident, humour and high adventure, Pancho II is a fable of late 1950s rural and partly urban Mexico... He’s back! The Raconteur Ranchero Reprobate, the benevolent brigand - Pancho! Pancho returns in this second instalment, the Old Ranchero , the irrepressible, not-so-saintly, self-supposed savant. Pancho aims for perpetual youth in audacious activity and misadventure, breathing vitality and good humour into everyone he meets, be they friend or stranger. In three seasons of the year he strides along a fire-stream of emotion, experience, and hard earned enlightenment. The incorrigible old man shares a rippling run of badinage with his ranchero compañeros ; and dear friends, the Ramos family, notably young Juan and doña María, better known as mamá . No plot as such, rather a series of vignettes; a chronicle of events covering a winter and spring (the Prequel), and an autumn (the Sequel); linked through seasonal happenings and the experiences of the prominent characters, their quirks of personality developing along the way. From the Feast of Candelaria of winter to the Day of the Dead of autumn, Pancho stormed and strutted the stage of life, touching the lives of a great host of folk, from lowly campesinos to the highest ranking hombres in this exotic, romantic land that is Mexico! This novel will be enjoyed by those looking for a light and warm-hearted read, particularly anyone interested in Mexico.

AX50 - Mark Helme - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Are we about to witness the greatness extinction of life since the Chicxulub meteor struck Earth sixty-five million years ago? Is plastic pollution, global warming and overfishing about to turn our oceans into vast dead deserts? Will poor air quality (which at present kills approximately 30,000 people a year in the UK alone) continue to deteriorate. Will most jobs be taken over by robots and AI, leaving us bored, depressed and unemployed? Will we face starvation as the world population spirals out of control leading to mass migration swamping developed countries? Should we all give up and hand round the cyanide pills now? We live in a time when dictatorships and other foreign powers manipulate the internet, and the extreme wealth of plutocrats, oligarchs and global companies threaten liberal democratic capitalism. My book explores a possible future where a new political and social order provides an equal caring and fulfilling society where everyone has all their basic needs provided for them, but they are still incentivised to work through a reward system. All this is achieved while nature and the environment are returned to how they were prior to industrial revolution. But future depicted is not a utopia. The high ideals of the new governing elite lead to terrible unintended consequences. Is this nirvana or are the costs too high?

Saint Mark's Gospel - Malcolm Bishop - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Saint Mark's Gospel - Malcolm Bishop - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In this new English translation of St Mark’s Gospel , Malcolm Bishop QC, offers a fresh and dynamic rendition of the earliest written account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Basing his translation on the Greek text of Mark, Bishop brings to the fore the vivid and lively flavour of the original. This involves recapturing the original grammatical tenses in which Mark told his story. Virtually every English translation of the gospels tells the story of Jesus in the past tense. However, writing in Greek, Mark uses multiple tenses to describe all that Jesus said and did. So in Bishop’s translation we get to hear, for the first time in a contemporary translation, the words and deeds of Jesus in the present tense, literally as they happen. As with his earlier translation of John, Bishop allows us to hear fresh and sometimes startling resonances, in the message of Jesus. His translation also permits us to hear speech in everyday English. This makes for less officious and stodgy speech, and brings instead an urgent sense of immediacy and relevance to Mark’s story about Jesus.

Time Transfer - Mark Roland Langdale - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Time Transfer is an enchanting story about football– a game which lost its magic, and follows the trials and tribulations of Manchester United and Accrington Stanley FC. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact date the magic appeared in the FA Cup. Perhaps it was there from the beginning when the very first ball was kicked, or perhaps it first appeared in 1923 – the year the final was first played at Wembley, known then as the Empire Stadium. Just as the Premier and Champions Leagues were battling it out for the top spot, the magic disappeared, much to the fans disappointment. Can the Football Association bring the magic back to the cup, or will they be powerless to act to restore the magic, like old wizards who no longer possess the magic touch?

Abracadabra Street - Mark Roland Langdale - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

What do you do if the family business is magic and you’re all fingers and thumbs? If your family are magicians and builders of tricks and illusions for other magicians and you can’t even pull a rabbit from a hat, do you turn your back on magic and walk away as far away from Abracadabra Street as you can…or do you try and overcome the hand you’re dealt? This is the question on Benjamin Blackstone’s mind. He has hope, however, in the form of a book his great grandfather bought about magic, a Victorian popup book of a street on which a long line of magic shops sat. This is called Abracadabra Street. The book is said to be truly magical in some way – and young Benjamin wants to get his hands on it. But this book is no toy to be played with which Benjamin soon finds out as he discovers the book after a long search locked in a trunk and discovers a living, breathing magical street! And that’s before a mysterious magician appears seemingly from inside the book. Benjamin knows it must be all smoke and mirrors, but he finds his own magic unlocked inside his head as he becomes obsessed to know how the book works and where the magician is really coming from. Because real magic isn’t real …right?

He suspects, with good reason, he is about to lose out on a promotion to a younger colleague who is assumed to be sleeping with his wife. And one night, driving home drunk from a village pub, he knocks down and kills an old man fleeing from a nearby mental hospital.To avoid blame Hart hides the body in a roadside culvert, but guilt forces him to learn the identity and background of his victim, so he can make some kind of amends. On a visit to the mental hospital he discovers clues to a decades-old mystery somehow involving the inmate, prompting him to sever all ties with his previously cloistered existence. Adopting the role of Percival, the holy fool of legend charged with finding a redeeming relic, Hart’s journey takes him very far from Norfolk, into Sweden’s sub-arctic wilderness and to one of the continent’s forbidden places. And also back to that darkest of times, when the world was at war and aflame. But if the man he killed had been driven mad by his part in creating this mystery, so Hart is in danger of becoming just as deranged. He has gone beyond needing simply to atone for a single death. He is now on a mission to rekindle what in his increasing obsession he believes is nothing less than the light of the world.
