Young Martin Dressler begins his career as an industrious helper in his father's cigar store. In the course of his restless young manhood, he makes a swift and eventful rise to the top, accompanied by two sisters--one a dreamlike shadow, the other a worldly business partner. As the eponymous Martin's vision becomes bolder and bolder he walks a haunted line between fantasy and reality, madness and ambition, art and industry, a sense of doom builds piece-by-hypnotic piece until this mesmerizing journey into the heart of an American dreamer reaches its bitter-sweet conclusion.

Pressure
I can score penalties in my sleep, so why not that one?' Marcus Rashford after the final of Euro 2020The penalty shootout is the most intense drama in sport. The anxious wait, the building dread, the lonely, heavy-legged walk towards the penalty spot. One kick on which so much can hinge. And all this while the eyes of the world are bearing down. Even football's most casual observers respond to the palm-tingling tension.What happens to players' brains and bodies in this cauldron of pressure? Why do some thrive while others choke? When the game goes to penalties, what ultimately separates success from failure, and triumph from disaster?In this ground-breaking book, sports psychologist Professor Geir Jordet dissects each agonising element of the shootout's duel and the universal human stress mechanisms that it triggers and illuminates.Drawing on two decades of studying the atomic nuances of performance under pressure, Jordet shares revelatory case studies and stories from his work with top national teams and some of the world's greatest players. He shows how in the penalty shootout, as elsewhere in life, it's often the tiny, invisible decisions that make the difference between winning and losing.After reading this book, you will watch sport's ultimate stress test with enhanced insight - and understand pressure in a wholly new light.

Pressler Menahem: In Recital
I have devoted my life to the piano and to music-making. Whether you acquire public fame or not, devoting one's existence to serving art provides a rich life and the healthiest form of fulfillment. I feel music is my religion, the hall is my temple and the composer is my God whose works I preach. It is no exaggeration to say that music saved my life. Beethoven's Sonata Op. 110 illustrates idealism in the first movement, hedonism in the second and regret and pain in the last movement from which two fugues emerge triumphantly, as if saying, 'Yes, life is worth living' - and this is what I feel. This is to be considered alongside Schubert's last sonata D. 960, which explores the emotions of a man who knows he has a limited time to live, and in which the slow movement resonates like a funeral march whilst also showing happiness and peace of mind.
