<b>An intimate, beautiful collection of more than two hundred never-before-collected photos of the Beatles at work and at play-many published for the first time-taken by their lead guitarist, George Harrison<br/> <br/>This extraordinary book features:<br/>- 200+ intimate images chronicling the Beatles' rise to world fame, captured by one of their own<br/>- Running commentary on the photos including never-before-seen quotes from Harrison himself<br/>- Essays by Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, and writers Colm T&oacute;ib&iacute;n and George Saunders</b><br/><br/>From 1963 to 1969, George Harrison traveled the world with his bandmates, Pentax in hand, chronicling their impossible path from Liverpool to Ed Sullivan, Adelaide to Rishikesh, the Eiffel Tower to the beaches of Tahiti and beyond.<br/><br/>In this extraordinary collection of George's personal photos and 8mm film stills-curated by Olivia Harrison, George's widow-are singular images of Paul, John, Ringo, and George and the band's friends and entourage as they rocketed to stardom and fostered the joyful madness that came to be known as Beatlemania. This revelatory, beautifully designed book takes the reader along on their first plane ride to the US, motorcades through the Australian outback, shopping trips in Paris, and more.<br/><br/>The candid, unguarded photos, brimming with Harrison's wit, intelligence and penchant for experimentation (he was enamored of selfies, long before the iPhone), and snapped in those rare moments out of the spotlight offer a remarkable, inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves-and enjoy themselves-while standing at the center of the storm.<br/><br/><i>The Third Eye </i>opens a window into the world of the Beatles-and the transformative cultural moment that they sparked-through the singular artistic vision of George Harrison.

During the latter part of the nineteenth century, so-called esoteric movements became increasingly popular in cultural and intellectual circles in Europe, not least in Sweden. Secret teachings, rituals and practices in alchemy, astrology, occultism and theosophy were predominant, with a belief in correspondences in the cosmos, living nature and transmutations. But esotericism goes back much further in time in Swedish history. Although such esoteric ideas were long considered heresy by the Church and thus driven underground, they have had a significant impact on Swedish culture.<br/><br/>In this anthology, we bring together some of Sweden s foremost experts on the subject to explore the history of esotericism in Sweden and how its rituals, practices and traditions came to influence writers and artists such as August Strindberg, Selma Lagerlöf, Viktor Rydberg, Hilma af Klint, Tyra Kleen and Carl Milles.

<b>An invitation to change our lives and imagine the world anew through reading stories, in the new book from the Sunday Times bestselling author of <i>Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit</i><br/><br/><i>I can change the story because I am the story.</i><br/><br/>'Makes you think and makes you laugh' Nigella</b><br/><br/>With her execution looming, a woman is fighting for her life. Every night she tells a story. Every morning, she lives one more day. <i>One Aladdin Two Lamps</i> cracks open the legendary story of <i>One Thousand and One Nights</i> to show how its questions are still relevant to our lives today. Is love the most important thing in the world? What makes us happy?<br/><br/>In her guise as Aladdin, Jeanette Winterson asks us to reread what we think we know and look again at how fiction works in our lives, giving us the courage to change our own narratives and alter endings we wish to subvert. As a young working-class woman, with no obvious future beyond factory work or marriage, Winterson realised through the power of books that she could read herself as fiction as well as fact.<br/><br/>Weaving together fiction, magic and memoir, this remarkable book is a tribute to the age-old tradition of storytelling and a radical step into the future - an invitation to look more closely at our own stories, and to imagine the world anew.<br/><br/><b>'Enchanting, unexpected and razor-sharp' Kamila Shamsie<br/><br/>'One of the most gifted writers working today' <i>New York Times</i><br/><br/>In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming' <i>Evening Standard</i></b>
