Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance : An Inquiry into Values - Robert Pirsig
€15.50
An odyssey into life's challenging philosophical questions during an unforgettable summer motorcycle trip, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance transformed a generation and continues to inspire millions. One of the most influential books written in the past half-century, Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a powerful examination of how we live and a breathtaking meditation on how to live better. Following a father and his young son on a summer motorcycle trip across America's Northwest, to complete the Chautauqua spiritual journey, it is a story of love, fear, growth, discovery and acceptance. Both personal and philosophical, it is a compelling study of relationships, values, and eventually, enlightenment and meaning - resonant with the confusions and wonders of existence. Acclaimed as one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters, this modern epic became an instant bestseller upon publication in 1974. 'The book is inspired, original...the analogies with Moby-Dick are patent' New Yorker'Mr Pirsig has written a work of great, perhaps urgent, importance... Read this book' Observer

Walking in Andalucia - Guy Hunter-Watts
€20.90
This guidebook explores six of Andalucia's most beautiful Natural Parks - the Sierra Nevada regions of Aracena, Grazalema, Los Alcornocales and Gaucin, La Axarquia, the Alpujarras and Cazorla - along the great belt of the Cordillera Betica mountains. The 36 half- and full-day walks are mostly circular, ranging in length from 4 to 21km: some involve steep ascents and descents but all are within the capabilities of a reasonably fit walker. The routes are based around the villages of Aracena, Grazalema, Jimena de la Frontera, Cazorla, Bubion and Competa, all of which lie within protected nature reserves. Year-round walking is possible, but the area is best enjoyed March-June and September-October. Includes detailed route descriptions, clear mapping, plenty of background information about travel, food and drink, language and communications and the author's recommendations for the best places to stay in or around southern Spain's most beautiful mountain villages, many of which date back to the Moorish period. Rising to almost 3500m, the Cordillera Betica offers some of the finest year-round walking in Europe, and wrapped within this mighty range are some of Spain's most beautiful villages and trails.

The Masque of Africa - V. S. Naipaul (DELIVERY TO EU ONLY)
€15.90
Moving beyond travelogue, V. S. Naipaul's The Masque of Africa considers the effects of belief (in indigenous animisms, the foreign religions of Christianity and Islam, the cults of leaders and mythical history) upon the progress of African civilization. Beginning in Uganda, at the centre of the continent, Naipaul's journey takes in Ghana and Nigeria, the Ivory Coast and Gabon, and ends, as the country does, in South Africa. Focusing upon the theme of belief - though sometimes the political or economical realities are so overwhelming that they have to be taken into account - Naipaul examines the fragile but enduring quality of the old world of magic. To witness the ubiquity of such ancient ritual, to be given some idea of its power, was to be taken far back to the beginning of things. To reach that beginning was the purpose of this book.
Marbella: An Urban Case Study by Michel Cruz, Wayne Chasan y Luiyo Vázquez (DELIVERY TO EU ONLY)
€25.00
A unique look at the evolution of Marbella, from a small fishing village to a glamorous resort, and now a young cosmopolitan city. More typically, the question ‘Why Marbella?’ precedes a rationale as to why one should move to this stylish coastal town in the sunniest part of Europe. In our case, it serves to offer the raison d’être of this book. MARBELLA – AN URBAN CASE STUDY is a labour of love following the concept and text of Michel Cruz, the images of Wayne Chasan and the illustrations of Luiyo Vázquez, with layout by Miriam Bidondo. It takes an honest and impartial look at the unique journey of Marbella since its founding as a luxurious international destination. Marbella’s rapid transformation from a sleepy fishing village to a world-renowned resort – and now a growing cosmopolitan city – is a fascinating example of the evolution of seaside resorts into urban landscapes. It is a process that comes with its own characteristics, challenges and opportunities, and as such produces a non-typical case study in modern urban development.
