<b>'A story of resilience, pain and joy' - </b><i><b>inews</b> </i><br/><br/>As stunt double to Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter film franchise, stuntman David Holmes helped to move J.K. Rowling's era-defining story from the page to the big screen. His work as a real-life Fall Guy enabled him to create some of the most memorable action sequences in the Wizarding World, as he became the first person ever to play Quidditch. In living his own hero's journey, David was also one of only a handful of people to have worn the iconic wizard's cape, glasses and scar in front of the cameras.<br/><br/>That is, until an accident changed his life forever.<br/><br/>During the making of <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, </i>David broke his neck in a stunt rehearsal and was instantly paralysed. From talented junior gymnast and stunt prodigy to fully qualified Hollywood stuntman, his story is a brutally honest portrait of a man who lost everything but found different ways to reimagine new possibilities with love, friendship and optimism - and he later co-created a BAFTA-nominated documentary about his life. David's behind-the-scenes look at one of the biggest film series of all time is both jaw-dropping and hilarious.<br/><br/>Powerful and emotional, his is a story of hope and vulnerability and paints a picture of what it truly takes to rebuild a life and become <i>The Boy Who Lived</i>.

<b>#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER! NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The renowned author of Between the World and Me journeys to three resonant sites of conflict to explore how the stories we tell-and the ones we don't-shape our realities. </b><br/><br/><b>"Ta-Nehisi Coates always writes with a purpose. . . . These pilgrimages, for him, help ground his powerful writing about race."-Associated Press </b><br/><br/><b>"Coates exhorts readers, including students, parents, educators, and journalists, to challenge conventional narratives that can be used to justify ethnic cleansing or camouflage racist policing. Brilliant and timely."-Booklist (starred review) </b><br/><br/><b>A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, Vanity Fair, Town &amp; Country, Electric Lit</b> <br/><br/>Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell's classic "Politics and the English Language," but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories-our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking-expose and distort our realities. <br/><br/>In the first of the book's three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind. Then he takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book's banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation's recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city-a capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book's longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground. <br/><br/>Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country's most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world-and our own souls-and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.
