**THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLER**

'Rattling. Heartbreaking. Beautiful.' Atul Gawande, bestselling author of Being Mortal


What makes life worth living in the face of death?

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father.

Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.

'A vital book about dying. Awe-inspiring and exquisite. Obligatory reading for the living' Nigella Lawson

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM PABLO ESCOBARS SON

Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of the most infamous drug lord of all time, Pablo Escobar  from books to film to the cult series Narcos. But these versions have always been told from the outside, only capturing half the truth, and never from the intimacy of his own home. Now, more than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with Escobar, his son brings us the dramatic truth as never before.

Here we find a man of contradictions  generosity and infinite love for his family; yet capable of the most extreme acts of cruelty and violence. In a deeply personal exploration of his father, we see the inner world of a man who was celebrated by some as a benevolent Robin Hood figure and by others, as a dangerous leader of the most ruthless mafia organisation in human history, reaping vengeance and death on anyone that might stand in his way.

When Escobar died, his then teenage son vowed revenge. But Escobar Jr. quickly recognised that meant following in his father's footstepssomething neither of them had ever wanted. With his change of heart, he denounced the Pablo Escobar legacy. This is far from the story of a child seeking redemption, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and his attempt to come to terms with it.

You empower yourself and then you reach out to others.

Uplifting life lessons from one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known...
through the eyes of the grandson whose life he changed forever.

In his book Going to the Mountain, Ndaba Mandela shares the story of his coming-of-age alongside South Africas rebirth. It is a remarkable journey, and one that took him from the violent, segregated Soweto ghettos to his grandfathers presidential home.

As a young boy, Ndaba was constantly shunted from place to place. But at eleven years old he was unexpectedly invited to live with his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, even though he had met him only once before, during a prison visit. And, slowly, they built a relationship that would affect both of them profoundly.

Ndaba's teenage years were complicated, but as he approached his twenty-first birthday, Mandela decided that Ndaba was finally ready to go to the mountain  a test of courage during which you become a man. At the end of this gruelling ritual journey, the elders of the Mandelas tribe gathered and Ndabas grandfather was there, as ever, to share his greatest life lessons.

From Nelson Mandela, Ndaba learned the spirit of endurance, the triumph of forgiveness, the power of resistance and the beauty of reconciliation. And as Mandela grew older, Ndaba had the chance to repay his grandfathers love and support by demonstrating the ways in which hed understood all that he had taught him.

Intimate and inspirational, Going to the Mountain is a powerful reminder of how one person can impact profoundly on another, and a testament to the awesome power within us to change ourselves and our world.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Liam Neeson.

It was the biggest mystery of American history. A shadowy source deep within Washington had leaked crucial information to two journalists, helping them uncover the historical Watergate Scandal of 1972. But who was this elusive source and what were his motivations? Thirty-three years later, the FBIs Mark Felt would finally identify himself as Deep Throat, the Watergate Whistleblower. This is his story.

Mark Felt learnt spy craft tracking Nazi and Soviet spies, tackled mobsters in Kansas City and took down the FBIs most wanted list, rising through the ranks under J Edgar Hoover to one of the FBIs top positions.

A life spent watching pivotal moments of history unfold, Mark Felt was the eyes and ears of the intelligence service. Drawing on his memoirs, FBI memos, secret files and conversations with his family and friends, this is the account of a G-Mans life and his struggle for honour in Washington.

This new edition is updated with the help of Marks lawyer, John OConnor, drawing on new developments and why now, the role of Deep Throat, is even more important than ever.

Every life has the power to change the world.

Ndaba Mandela was raised by his grandfather, Nelson Mandela. It is easy to forget that legendary figures like Mandela were first and foremost human beings, flawed and unique, but in Ndaba's account we have a rare and personal insight into the man behind the myth.

In 11 Life Lessons, Ndaba shares with us his memories  charming, intimate and sometimes surprising  to illuminate Mandelas much-loved principles for how to become the people we want to be.

Always call out injustice  even when we see it in ourselves

Freedom must be given as much as it is taken


Strive to do what is right rather than to prove you are right


Anger has its place, even in a kind heart


Inspired by Mandela's remarkable stories, 11 Life Lessons from Nelson Mandela offers a profound and rewarding pathway to changing your world.

The work mirrors his love of the planet and no place more so than his native Pitons, icons of colour and light. Xavier now lives and works with his characteristic abundant energy on the beautiful island of St Lucia - his Eden - supporting political and environmental issues close to his heart.The 360 colour plates in ""Llewellyn Xavier: His Life and Work"" are complemented by a commentary from the artist himself, an introduction by the eminent art critic and historian Edward Lucie-Smith and a foreward by Lowery Stokes Sims, expert in 20th Century Art and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
