The Breakthrough Code: A St...
ISBN: 979-8985158632 Год издания: 2022 Издательство: Thomas McCarthy & Associates Язык: Английский Аннотация
The vast majority of people that are trying to accomplish something big will fail and it's not even their fault. People with big dreams always encounter daunting challenges. When you apply the Breakthrough Code, no matter how big your goals are, you can get what you want easier and faster.
This modern-day parable takes you through the journey of a young boy, Jonathan, who has big dreams and ambitions. Jonathan's promising start after college quickly turns to overwhelm, struggling to succeed at work and finding himself in a situation where both his relationship and his health are failing. Feeling down on his luck, Jonathan turns to a friend of his deceased father, Mr. Woodberry, for advice.
Mr. Woodberry introduces Jonathan to The Breakthrough Code. Through a series of stories, characters, trials, and tribulations, Jonathan starts to see his life improving. He finds himself happier, healthier and creating breakthroughs in every area of his life. Jonathan's career, relationships, and life all begin to shift for the better.
But what changed? Throughout the journey, Jonathan learns how to apply The Breakthrough Code. He learns that his life was being held back by the story he was telling himself and his subconscious beliefs.
The Breakthrough Code is a story about the possibilities you can create when you connect the big results you want in your life to your life's purpose. You will learn how to get rid of old memories, thought, and beliefs that are holding you back and create a brand new and much more powerful story of who you are and what you are capable of. You will learn how to access your superconscious mind to automate the process of achieving your most important results. Finally, when you put The Breakthrough Code into action, you will find yourself being guided to take the most effective and efficient actions to reach your goals quicker, with less resistance. -

Satin Island
ISBN: 9780099546993 Год издания: 2016 Издательство: Vintage Books Аннотация
U. is a 'corporate anthropologist' who, while working on a giant, epoch-defining project no one really understands, is also tasked with writing the Great Report on our society. But instead, U. spends his days procrastinating, meandering through endless buffer-zones of information and becoming obsessed by the images with which the world bombards him on a daily basis: oil spills, African traffic jams, roller-blade processions.
Is there a secret logic holding all these images together? Once cracked, will it unlock the master-meaning of our era? Might it have something to do with the dead parachutists in the news? Perhaps; perhaps not. -

Remainder
ISBN: 9781846884207 Год издания: 2016 Издательство: Alma Books Аннотация
Traumatized by an accident which 'involved something falling from the sky' and leaves him eight and a half million pounds richer but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, Remainder's hero spends his time and money obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past: a large building with piano music in the distance, the familiar smells and sounds of liver frying and spluttering, lethargic cats lounging on roofs until they tumble off them... But when this fails to quench his thirst for authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events, as his repetition addiction spirals out of control.
A darkly comic meditation on memory, identity and history, Remainder is a parable for modern times. -

Men in Space
ISBN: 978-0307388223 Год издания: 2012 Издательство: Vintage Books Язык: Английский Аннотация
The first novel written by Booker finalist Tom McCarthy—acclaimed author of Remainder and C—Men in Space is set in a Central Europe rapidly fragmenting after the fall of communism. It follows an oddball cast—dissolute bohemians, political refugees, a football referee, a disorientated police agent, and a stranded astronaut—as they chase a stolen painting from Sofia to Prague and onward. Planting the themes that McCarthy’s later works develop, here McCarthy questions the meaning of all kinds of space—physical, political, emotional, and metaphysical—as reflected in the characters’ various disconnections. What emerges is a vision of humanity adrift in history, and a world in a state of disintegration.
With an afterword by Simon Critchley, author of The Book of Dead Philosophers -

C
ISBN: 978-0-099-54702-0 Год издания: 2011 Издательство: Vintage Язык: Русский Аннотация
C follows the short, intense life of Serge Carrefax, a man who - as his name suggests - surges into the electric modernity of the early twentieth century, transfixed by the technologies that will obliterate him. Born to the sound of one of the very earliest experimental wireless stations, Serge finds himself steeped in a weird world of transmissions, whose very air seems filled with cryptic and poetic signals of all kinds. What follows is a stunning tour de force in which the eerily idyllic settings of pre-war Europe give way to the exhilarating flight-paths of the frontline aeroplane radio operator, then the prison camps of Germany, the drug-fuelled London of the roaring twenties and, finally, the ancient tombs of Egypt. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. -

C
ISBN: 978-0307388216 Год издания: 2011 Издательство: Vintage Books Аннотация
Opening in England at the turn of the twentieth century, C is the story of Serge Carrefax, whose father experiments with wireless communication while running a school for deaf children. Serge grows up amid the noise and silence with his brilliant but troubled older sister, Sophie: an intense sibling relationship that haunts him as he heads off into an equally troubled larger world. As Serge goes from a Bohemian spa to the skies of World War I, and from a German prison camp into the tombs of Egypt, we follow his life through the tumultuous course of the nascent modern era. Tom McCarthy—acclaimed author of Remainder—has created a truly singular character, and a world that sparkles with historical breadth and postmodern originality. -
