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.

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.

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.

MEET U. – CORPORATE ANTHROPOLOGIST secreted in the basement of a large consultancy. U. spends his time toiling away at a great, epoch-defining public project which no one, least of all its own creators, understands. Besieged by data, confronted at every turn by the fact of his own redundancy, U. grows obsessed with the images – oil-spills, roller-bladers heading nowhere over streets that revolutionaries once tore up, zombies on parade – which the world and all its veil-like screens bombard him with on a daily basis.

Is there a plot at work behind the veil? Is it buffering a portal to the technological divine? Who killed the parachutist in the news? And what’s this got to do with South Pacific Cargo Cults? U.’s disconnected notes from underground in fact amount to an impassioned, integrated vision – of disintegration. Satin Island is a book that captures our out-of-joint times like no other.

Эссе современного британского художника и писателя Тома Маккарти посвящено культовому циклу комиксов «Приключения Тинтина». Вчитываясь в тексты, героев и рисунки бельгийского художника Эрже, придумавшего в 1929 году неунывающего репортера с хохолком, Маккарти пытается найти ответ на вопрос, что такое литературный вымысел и как функционирует современное искусство в условиях множественных медиа. Блистательное расследование психологии творчества в ХХ веке от одного из активных арт-деятелей века XXI.

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 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.

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.

Молодой житель Лондона попадает в аварию и, оказавшись в реанимации, вскоре получает от некой фирмы восемь с половиной миллионов фунтов на условиях неразглашения обстоятельств катастрофы. Выписавшись из больницы, герой планомерно расходует время и деньги на то, чтобы вновь стать «настоящим» и обрести утраченный эмоциональный контакт с действительностью. С помощью нанятых исполнителей он реконструирует эпизоды своей прошлой жизни, стремясь повторить не только целые фрагменты городского ландшафта, но и запах жареной печенки, звуки пианино, доносящиеся из квартиры напротив, силуэты котов на крыше соседнего дома. Когда это не помогает полностью…

The acclaimed author of Remainder, which Zadie Smith hailed as “one of the great English novels of the past ten years,”gives us his most spectacularly inventive novel yet. Opening in England at the turn of the twentieth century, C is the story of a boy named Serge Carrefax, whose father spends his time experimenting 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 stays with him as he heads off into an equally troubled larger world. After a fling with a nurse at a Bohemian spa,…

A man is severely injured in a mysterious accident, receives an outrageous sum in legal compensation, and has no idea what to do with it. Then, one night, an ordinary sight sets off a series of bizarre visions he can’t quite place. How he goes about bringing his visions to life–and what happens afterward–makes for one of the most riveting, complex, and unusual novels in recent memory. Remainder is about the secret world each of us harbors within, and what might happen if we were granted the power to make it real.
