"If you won't get her vision, who will?" With these words from Bhairavi Ma echoing in his heart, a young monk who had renounced a multimillion-dollar business empire retreated into the Himalayas. For thirteen months, he engaged in intense meditation, seeking the finest reward there is: self-realization. But what truly unfolded in those serene yet desolate mountains? Faced with biting cold, prowling wild animals, crippling hunger and overwhelming isolation, Om Swami tested the limits of his mind and body.

Bienvenue dans Chambre 13 - où l’on parle de ce qui dérange.Ici, les lumières sont tamisées, les langues se délient, et les sujets brûlants trouvent enfin leur place.En solo ou accompagné·e, j’ouvre la porte sur l’intime, le désir, les tabous, les transgressions et toutes ces zones épicées que l’on n’ose pas affronter à voix haute.Rien n’est trop dérangeant, trop sensible ou “trop” pour cette pièce.Ici, on traverse les limites, on casse les normes, on explore ce qui trouble et ce qui dévoile.

The hilarious and pubescent debut book from your favourite British Muslim comedian (that's Tez Ilyas, by the way). You may know and love Tez from his stand-up comedy, his role as Eight in Man Like Mobeen, his Radio 4 series TEZ Talks, or panel shows such as Mock the Week and The Last Leg. Where you won't know him from is 1997, when he was 13¾. (But now you will—because that's what the book is about.) In this suitably dramatic rollercoaster of a teenage memoir, Tez takes us back to where it all began.

Since World War II, the American public has become fully aware of the exploits of the 101st Airborne Division, the paratroopers who led the Allied invasions into Nazi-held Europe. But within the ranks of the 101st, a sub-unit attained legendary status at the time, its reputation persisting among veterans over the decades. Primarily products of the Dustbowl and the Depression, the Filthy13 grew notorious, even within the ranks of the elite 101st. Never ones to salute an officer, or take a bath, this squad became singular within the Screaming Eagles.

Derrick "Taffy" Rees is now 75, and he tells his story in By Then I Was Thirteen.

Hay monstruos que se esconden en la oscuridad…y otros que caminan entre nosotros sin que los veas venir.En Marcada 13, el miedo no siempre viene del más allá…a veces vive en lo cotidiano,en la mirada de un desconocido…o en los secretos de quien duerme a tu lado.Aquí, lo real y lo imposible se mezclan.Y lo peor…es que todo lo que vas a escuchar, pudo haber pasado.O ya está pasando.

“It’s not easy to stay alive with a $1,000 bounty on your head.” In 1967, a bullet cost thirteen cents, and no one gave Uncle Sam a bigger bang for his buck than the 5th Marine Regiment Sniper Platoon. So feared were these lethal marksmen that the Viet Cong offered huge rewards for killing...

Our everyday reality - a reality so seemingly safe and secure in this modern age, but also one in which the news reports senseless killings and murders too grisly, too heinous, and too unimaginable; who would think such horrifying events could ever happen to you or your family?
