Illuminations: The Top 5 Sunday Times Bestseller

"Bloomsbury presents Illuminations by Alan Moore, read by Rory Kinnear, Laura Haddock, Nina Sosanya, Samuel Barnett, Toby Jones, Emilia Fox, Sian Clifford, Clarke Peters, Mark Meadows, Alan Moore and Matt Reeves. Toby Jones, Rory Kinnear, Sian Clifford, Emilia Fox, Laura Haddock and Nina Sosanya are among a starry ensemble cast reading the audiobook for Illuminations. 'A wonderful collection, brilliant and often moving ... Both mind-expanding and cosmic while utterly rooted in our urban reality' NEIL GAIMAN 'One of the great fiction minds of his generation' ROLLING STONE In his first-ever short story collection, which spans forty years of work and features many never-before-published pieces, international bestselling author and legendary creator of From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and other modern classics, Alan Moore, presents nine stories full of wonder and strangeness, each taking us deeper into the fantastical underside of reality. In A Hypothetical Lizard, two concubines in a brothel for fantastical specialists fall in love, with tragic ramifications. In Not Even Legend, a paranormal study group is infiltrated by one of the otherworldly beings they seek to investigate. In Illuminations, a nostalgic older man decides to visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too close at hand. And in the monumental novella What We Can Know About Thunderman, which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque history of the comics industry over the last seventy-five years through several sometimes-naive and sometimes-maniacal people rising and falling on its career ladders, Moore reveals the dark, beating heart of the superhero business. From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to theoretical Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the big bang, Illuminations is exactly that – a series of bright, startling tales from a contemporary legend that reveal the full power of imagination and magic. 'One of the most significant fiction writers in English ... Moore’s influence can be felt everywhere — in our literature, on our screens, in our politics' GUARDIAN Illuminations became a Sunday Times Top 5 Bestseller on 15th October 2022 P 2022 Alan Moore"

Do Design: Why beauty is key to everything

"So much passes us by, unnoticed. We multi-task, switch between screens, work faster. When was the last time you paused to consider a beautifully-made object or stunning natural landscape? Yet this is when our spirits lift and our soul is restored. Designer Alan Moore invites us to rethink not only what we produce - whether it's a website, a handmade chair, or a business - but how and why. With examples from Apple, Yeo Valley and Blitz Motorcycles, we are encouraged to ask: Is it useful and considered? Is it a thing of beauty? Do Design will inspire you to: - Improve your creative process - Raise the quality and craft of your work - Consider the experience as much as the product - Adopt simplicity, utility and honesty as guiding principles We are creative beings. We love to make things. This book will inspire you to create better things for better reasons. Things that people will love - for a long time to come. Some say beauty is a luxury. But what if it is key to creating a better world for us all? 'An excellent guide to the essence of beauty - the freedom to create it and an argument for its power and importance to the soul.' Tim Smit, The Eden Project 'A handbook for mindful making and conscientious consumption.' CRAFTS Magazine 'Alan Moore's book on beauty links the history of that which has been simply made, to that which has been extraordinarily made. The difference is that which is engineered, to what is crafted, to what is designed.' John Maeda, Automattic 'What is described in this book is not just an approach to design, it's a way of life.' Karen Hodkinson, formerly ID magazine 'Your book gave me real clarity and a forceful nudge to just make things and see where it takes me. What a book!' Jono Smart, contemporary potter 'I think you’ll like this.’ Suzanne Santos, co-founder Aesop ©2016 Alan Moore (P)2017 Do Books Audio"
