Book excerpt: 'There is one animal that is familiar to all of us, whoever we are, wherever we live' 'Even if we've never had direct contact with one, we will have seen one, or at the very least, heard one. For those of us who live in the western world it is more than likely that one sleeps in our house, possibly even on our bed. I'm talking of course, of the dog. Yet, this animal, which lives alongside five hundred million of us all over the world - as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant - presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did this relationship - the most complex and enduring of any between human and animal - start in the first place?' Kate Humble is a life-long animal lover. Now living on an idyllic farm in Wales, she has achieved her dream of surrounding herself with as many varieties as possible. But, as with many Brits, the dog has always held a special place in her heart. Here, she uses her journey with her sheepdog puppy Teg to frame her examination of this very special relationship. Written with warmth and love, and packed full of stories about rescue dogs, guide dogs, service dogs and medical dogs, this is a must-read for anyone with a four-legged friend.

Download or read book To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life written by Hervé Guibert and published by Serpent's Tail. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Maggie Nelson, an introduction from Frieze editor Andrew Durbin and afterword from Edmund White 'Unforgettable, heartbreaking' New York Times 'Brilliant' - Dazed 'As brutal as it is elegant' - Neil Bartlett 'Electrifying' - Colm Tóibín 'Dazzling' - Katherine Angel After being diagnosed with AIDS, Hervé Guibert wrote this devastating, darkly humorous and personal novel, chronicling three months in the penultimate year of the narrator's life. In the wake of his friend Muzil's death, he goes from one quack doctor to another, from holidays to test centres, and charts the highs and lows of trying to cheat death. On publication in 1990, the novel scandalized French media, which quickly identified Muzil as Guibert's close friend Michel Foucault. The book became a bestseller, and Guibert a celebrity. The book has since attained a cult following for its tender, fragmented and beautifully written accounts of illness, friendship, sex, art and everyday life. It catapulted Guibert into notoriety and sealed his reputation as a writer of shocking precision and power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is filled with many strangers we pass, yet somehow never forget. At times we smile with our eyes, laugh in our heads, express gratitude with our arms, and connect with our lips. In other cases, we yell from our lungs, drop tears through our lenses and bring a fire with our fists. Nonetheless, one thing must be said: We live in this world together. In "Dear Friend" we will experience the journey of different stages in our lives through letters written for all walks of life. Inspired by the people we have briefly crossed paths with and the Friends we have ever since made. Here, we all become Friends because each letter is written for you. To the Wild Flowers blooming in the dark, the loneliness that sits beneath our hearts, and the Lovers we have found and those we are yet to find. To the World. We express hand in hand with letters what we cannot express in the lapses of time. I hope this book can prove to be The Vessel For Our Thoughts.
