An age-old subject is given new perspectives in Blossomise, a collection with change at its heart. Blossomise celebrates the ecstatic arrival of spring blossom just as it acknowledges, too, its melancholic disappearance.

Simon Kuper travelled to twenty-two countries from South Africa and Italy to Russia and the USA to examine the way football has shaped them. At the same time, he tried to find out what lies behind each nation's distinctive style of play, from the carefree self-expression of the Brazilians to the anxious calculation of the Italians. During his journeys he met an extraordinary range of players, politicians and - of course - the fans themselves, all of whom revealed in their different ways the unique place football has in the life of the planet.

Selvkærlighed? Er det ikke ret egoistisk? Nej, bestemt ikke. For mit eget vedkommende har jeg altid haft masser af kærlighed til andre – og andre har haft masser af kærlighed til mig. Men – jeg har haft alt for lidt kærlighed til... mig selv. Det har jeg sat mig for at ændre på nu! Efter rigtig mange år. Ja, faktisk hele livet. Men nu er jeg på en mission: Jeg vil leve et selvkærligt liv. Og du er inviteret med! Hvordan lever man egentligt et selvkærligt liv? Det lyder nemt, men det kræver virkelig fokus. Og bevidsthed om det. I alle de små og store begivenheder, der er i livet...

As Rhudoria's armies close in, Karn takes his place as an officer in the Black Guard, fighting to hold the line against overwhelming odds. With Serah training among the elite Black Knights, he must rely on old friends and new allies to navigate the brutal battlefield and the treacherous politics of war. When a chance to strike at the Witch Queen arises, Karn is thrust into a perilous mission that could end the conflict—but at a cost he may not survive.

The bonds of blood and vengeance must hold, or all will be lost. Karn has lost everything: his power, his family, and his place among the Black Guard. Dragged from the battlefield and left to die, he awakens in fractured Rhudoria, a land torn by clan rivalries and ruled—but not united—by the Bear Chieftain. Now, Eirithia's armies and the Black Guard invade, stealing its people and crushing its defenses. Amid the chaos, Karn uncovers the Witch Queen's vile schemes.

After surviving his first year at The Forge, Karn returns to face new trials, both on the battlefield and within his own heart. As his power grows and his connection with Nix deepens, Karn struggles to control the rage that threatens to consume him. His relationship with Serah blossoms, but the path ahead forces them into difficult choices, with the looming conflict pulling them in opposite directions. Alongside new allies like the enigmatic Aspallan, Karn must navigate a web of treacherous alliances while facing dangerous new enemies—including those he once called friends.

Branded a traitor and hunted by the kingdom he once served, Karn must return home, where the past he abandoned and the future he fears collide. His adopted father, Banar, remains a prisoner of the Witch Queen's forces, and Serah—bewitched and bound by dark magic—stands in his way. To save them, Karn must gather his remaining allies, forge new bonds, and face creatures born from the queen's most twisted experiments.

From one of the truly preeminent historians of our time, this is a landmark book chronicling the French Revolution. Simon Schama deftly refutes the contemporary notion that the French Revolution represented an uprising of the oppressed poor against a decadent aristocracy and corrupt court.
