From the double Man Booker prize-winning author of ` Wolf Hall`, this is a dark fable of lost faith & awakening love amidst the moors. Fetherhoughton is a drab, dreary town somewhere in a magical, half-real 1950s north Engl&, a preserve of ignorance & superstition protected against the advance of reason by its impenetrable moor-fogs. Father Angwin, the town`s cynical priest, has lost his faith, & wants nothing more than to be left alone. Sister Philomena strains against the monotony of convent life & the pettiness of her fellow nuns. The rest of the town goes about their lives in a haze, a never-ending procession of grim, grey days stretching ahead of them. Yet all of that is about to change. A strange visitor appears one stormy night, bringing with him the hint, the taste of something entirely new, something unknown. But who is Fludd? An angel come to shake the Fetherhoughtonians from their stupor, to reawaken Father Angwin`s faith, to show Philomena the nature of love? Or is he the devil himself, a shadowy wanderer of the darkest places in the human heart? Full of dry wit, compassionate characterisations & cutting insight, Fludd is a brilliant gem of a book, & one of Hilary Mantel`s most original works. ...

Meet the man who makes the mission of learning any language possible! Language hacker Benny Lewis shows how anyone anywhere can learn any language without leaving their home, using a simple toolkit & by harnessing the power of the Internet. Benny definitely wasn`t born with the `language gene`. After graduating in electronic engineering in his native Ireland he spent six months in Spain struggling to learn Spanish. This frustrating experience fuelled his determination to take a different approach to learning foreign languages. Today he speaks over ten languages including Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, & Hungarian. At present, he`s learning Japanese in Spain. This typifies one of his `3-month challenges` where he targets a new language & proceeds to become fluent in it within just three months. He charts his progress on his blog, proving that his techniques allow anyone to learn a language from anywhere. Benny`s blog, also called Fluent in 3 Months, is the largest language learning blog in the world. The key principles of Benny`s method: * Speak from day one: find mother-tongue speaking partners online. Don`t be self-conscious
- keep the flow going!* Change your mindset: ditch the excuses, you can do it! * Stay focused & determined: even if you don`t have much time, never forget the goal you`ve set yourself & work at it. * Learning a language doesn`t need to be expensive: there is a wealth of free resources out there, if you know where to find them * Reap the rewards!
