The Stranger on the Bridge: My Journey from Despair to Hope

'In my world, the word inspirational gets bandied around a lot, but Jonny Benjamin is truly deserving of that adjective.' - HRH The Duke of Cambridge In 2008, twenty-year-old Jonny Benjamin stood on Waterloo Bridge, about to jump. A stranger saw his distress and stopped to talk with him - a decision that saved Jonny's life. Fast forward to 2014 and Jonny, together with Rethink Mental Illness launch a campaign with a short video clip so that Jonny could finally thank that stranger who put him on the path to recovery. More than 319 million people around the world followed the search. ITV's breakfast shows picked up the story until the stranger, whose name is Neil Laybourn, was found and - in an emotional and touching moment - the pair re-united and have remained firm friends ever since. The Stranger on the Bridge is a memoir of the journey Jonny made both personally, and publicly to not only find the person who saved his life, but also to explore how he got to the bridge in the first place and how he continues to manage his diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Using extracts from diaries Jonny has been writing from the age of thirteen, this book is a deeply personal memoir with a unique insight on mental health. Jonny was recognised for his work as an influential activist changing the culture around mental health, when he was awarded an MBE in 2017. He and Neil now work full-time together visiting schools, hospitals, prisons and workplaces to help end the stigma by talking about mental health and suicide prevention. The pair ran the London Marathon together in 2017 in aid of HeadsTogether. Following the global campaign to find the stranger, in 2015 Channel 4 made a documentary of Jonny's search which has now been shown in 14 territories.

L'Aiglon de Edmond Rostand

Le théâtre d'Edmond Rostand tient une place unique pour son temps dans l'histoire de la littérature française. Certains ont dit que le poète était le représentant d'un des derniers rameaux du Romantisme. Ce n'est pas tout à fait exact. Rostand a créé un genre et s'est montré si original qu'il n'a pas eu de successeur et n'a pas vieilli. Les malintentionnés qui avaient murmuré que Cyrano était une chance qui ne se retrouverait plus, durent reconnaître, avec l'Aiglon, les génie de celui qui avait rendu à la foule le goût de la poésie dramatique en s'adressant au coeur, en caressant l'esprit et en parlant avec une extraordinaire richesse verbale une langue claire, ailée et accessible à tous. L'oeuvre d'Edmond Rostand est celle d'un poète qui marque une date dans la littérature française. Créateur d'une originalité indiscutée, il reste, plein de grandeur, un isolé triomphant et inimitable. - Maurice Garçon, de l'Académie Française.

Macbeth

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare about a regicide and its aftermath. It is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and is believed to have been written sometime between 1603 and 1606. This is a classic audiobook recording read by Sir Anthony Quayle, Robert Hardy and other cast members. Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by three sinister witches, Macbeth murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the meaning of terror - killing once, he must kill again and again, and the dead return to haunt him. A story of war, witchcraft and bloodshed, Macbeth also depicts the relationship between husbands and wives, and the risks they are prepared to take to achieve their desires.
