On the 29th of April 2008 Matthew Blake pedalled away from his front door in England. Leaving with a shiny new bike, a vague idea of how to fix a puncture and a map which could get him as far as Dover, his lack of confidence was apparent in the fact that whilst he possessed dreams of cycling around the world, he had told his family he would be going to South East Asia and then flying home. And that would be if he could get that far. Not only did he make it to South East Asia, he carried on further, finally riding back to his hometown of Banbury four years, sixty-one countries and 46,000 miles later. Returning to England with tales of hiding from volcanoes in Guatemala, camping in winter blizzards in Turkey, surviving by drinking river water for three weeks in South Sudan and eating iguanas for dinner in Mexico, as well as the scars of a constant mental battle from four years' solo travel, Blake discovered numerous heart-warming and humbling stories of the kindness of humanity from all over the world. Mixing his own adventures with stories and history from around the globe, 'I'll be home just after Christmas' is one man's account of a modern-era journey of exploration.

«Anna O se lee como un sueño, pero inquieta como una pesadilla». A. J. Finn Un fenómeno internacional publicado en más de 30 países. Un libro que te mantendrá con los ojos abiertos hasta el amanecer ¿Y si nuestras pesadillas no fueran realmente tales? Pasamos unos treinta y tres años durmiendo, pero ¿qué ocurre realmente cuando dormimos y de qué somos capaces? Anna Ogilvy lleva cuatro años sin abrir los ojos. No lo ha hecho desde aquella noche en La Granja en la que la encontraron dormida con un cuchillo de cocina en la mano, la ropa manchada de sangre y los cadáveres de sus dos mejores amigos tendidos cerca. Ha cometido el crimen del siglo y nada ni nadie puede despertarla de la pesadilla. Quienes creen en su inocencia la llaman Anna O. Quienes creen en su culpa, la Bella Durmiente. Pero nadie puede apartar los ojos de la historia... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A riveting, unsettling crime novel that will keep you turning pages well past your bedtime. Is Anna O a sleeping beauty or a sleeping killer? Matthew Blake's tension-filled thriller is&nbsp;as elusive and mysterious as sleep itself."--Nita Prose, #1 New York Times author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest Joining the ranks of Gillian Flynn, A. J. Finn, and Alex Michaelides, Matthew Blake delivers the thriller of the year: a dark, twisty, and shocking mystery about a young woman who commits a double murder while sleepwalking, and then never opens her eyes again. ANNA O WILL WAKE UP THE WORLD What if your nightmares weren't really nightmares at all? We spend an average of 33 years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we sleep? Anna Ogilvy was a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent motive--and hasn't woken up since. Dubbed "Sleeping Beauty" by the tabloids, Anna's condition is a rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as "resignation syndrome." Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods are the last hope of solving the infamous "Anna O'"case and waking Anna up so she can stand trial. But he must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect--he's got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own. As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether Anna should be held responsible for her crimes. Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict knows how to discover it. And they're both in danger from what they find out.
