Pleasure
£20.00Explores the ways in which women have been systematically disconnected from their bodies throughout history and the transformative power of reclaiming that connection through pleasure. From the cultural mythology of sex as something women give and men take, to the historical demonization of female pleasure through witch trials and religious doctrine. ‘Pleasure’ traces the ways in which women’s bodies have been turned into religious battlegrounds. Yet, it also reveals the radical, healing power of reclaiming pleasure as an act of resistance and joy. Drawing on personal experiences, cultural analysis and interviews with experts, this title unpacks the myths we’ve inherited – from the virginity ideal to the male-centric view of sex – and how they affect women’s lives today.

This Is Our Game
£14.99You know when you’re in a football city. The murals, the billboards, the graffiti, the colours on the bars and pubs. No two football cities are the same. That cross on the club badge, commemorating a 1st century fisherman martyr (Ajax). The ‘cemetery’ of graves dedicated to the club’s league rivals (Napoli). The guttural roar of fans chanting ‘Aupa Athletic, aupa Euskal Herria!’ – a fierce declaration of Basque pride and identity, echoing through San Mamés like a battle cry (Bilbao). In a world of increasing corporate and homogenous sport, football cities preserve culture and exhibit the particular and the unique with glorious passion. Fandom in a football city is for everyone: for boys and girls, for elderly men and the infirm; for the fashionable, the outcasts and the hopeless: it gives their days meaning and clarity – it can unite divided cities and divide the otherwise united. This work is a celebration of these unique fan cultures.

This is a retelling by celebrated classicist Barry Powell, who has studied, written about, and lectured on Homer for over three decades. Barry’s retelling is accompanied by sixty newly commissioned artworks, bringing the iconic scenes and characters to life, from the brutish Polyphemus, to the monstrous Scylla and Charybdis, mysterious Circe, faithful Penelope, and Odysseus himself.

Dead Funny
£16.99Hitler and Goring are standing on top of the Berlin radio tower. Hitler says he wants to do something to put a smile on the Berliners’ faces. Goring says, ‘Why don’t you jump?’ When a woman working in a factory told this joke to a colleague in Germany in 1943, she was arrested by the Nazis and sentenced to death by guillotine – it didn’t matter that her husband was a good German soldier who died in battle. In this groundbreaking work of history, Rudolph Herzog takes up such stories to show how widespread humour was during the Third Reich. It’s a fascinating and frightening history: from the suppression of the anti-Nazi cabaret scene of the 1930s, to jokes made at the expense of the Nazis during WWII, to the collections of ‘whispered jokes’ that were published in the immediate aftermath of the war. Herzog argues that jokes provide a hitherto missing chapter of WWII history. The jokes show that not all Germans were hypnotized by Nazi prop
