With his characteristic enthusiasm and erudition, PeterAckroyd follows his acclaimed London: A Biography with aninspired look into the heart and the history of the Englishimagination. To tell the story of its evolution, Ackroyd rangesacross literature and painting, philosophy and science,architecture and music, from Anglo-Saxon times to thetwentieth-century. Considering what is most English about artistsas diverse as Chaucer, William Hogarth, Benjamin Britten andViriginia Woolf, Ackroyd identifies a host of sometimescontradictory elements: pragmatism and whimsy, blood and gore, apassion for the past, a delight in eccentricity, and much more. Abrilliant, engaging and often surprising narrative, Albion reveals the manifold nature of English genius.

The fascinating story of a long-forgotten "war on terror" thathas much in common with our own On a February evening in 1894, ayoung radical intellectual named mile Henry drank two beers at anupscale Parisian restaurant, then left behind a bomb as a partinggift. This incident, which rocked the French capital, lies at theheart of The Dynamite Club, a mesmerizing account of Henry and hiscohorts and the war they waged against the bourgeoisiesetting offbombs in public places, killing the president of France, andeventually assassinating President McKinley in 1901. Paris in thebelle poque was a place of leisure, elegance, and power. Newlyelectrified, the citys wide boulevards were lined with poshdepartment stores and outdoor cafs. But prosperity was limited to afew. Most lived in dire poverty, and workers and intellectualsfound common cause in a political philosophyanarchismthat embracedthe overthrow of the state by any means necessary. Yet in targetingcivilians to achieve their ends, the dynamite bombers cha
Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodoxChristians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of thepeople who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slavesenjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class inthe world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of allraces across the world would be immeasurably improved by theirenslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society adoctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, andintellectuals - 'Slavery in the Abstract', which declaredenslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless ofrace. They joined the Socialists, whom they studied, in believingthat the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, wascollapsing. A vital question: to what extent did the people of theseveral social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine?That question lies at the heart of this book.

From the "Hundred Best Books" to the "Ten Greatest Thinkers" tothe "Ten Greatest Poets," here is a concise collection of theworld's most significant knowledge. For the better part of acentury, Will Durant dwelled upon -- and wrote about -- the mostsignificant eras, individuals, and achievements of human history.His selections have finally been brought together in a single,compact volume.

From a thinker who always chose to exalt the positive in thehuman species, The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time stays true to Durant's optimism. This is a book c
When the United States entered the Gilded Age after the CivilWar, argues cultural historian Christopher Benfey, the nation lostits philosophical moorings and looked eastward to “Old Japan,” withits seemingly untouched indigenous culture, for balance andperspective. Japan, meanwhile, was trying to reinvent itself as amore cosmopolitan, modern state, ultimately transforming itself, inthe course of twenty-five years, from a feudal backwater to aninternational power. This great wave of historical and culturalreciprocity between the two young nations, which intensified duringthe late 1800s, brought with it some larger-than-lifepersonalities, as the lure of unknown foreign cultures promptedpilgrimages back and forth across the Pacific. In The Great Wave, Benfey tells the story of the tightly knitgroup of nineteenth-century travelers—connoisseurs, collectors, andscientists—who dedicated themselves to exploring and preserving OldJapan. As Benfey writes, “A sense of urgency impelled them, forthe

In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa,King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostlyunexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out agenocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalizedits people, and ultimately slashed its population by tenmillion--all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as agreat humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimeseventually led to the first great human rights movement of thetwentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to theArchbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is thehaunting account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a manas cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great Shakespeareanvillains. It is also the deeply moving portrait of those who foughtLeopold: a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and youngidealists who went to Africa for work or adventure and unexpectedlyfound themselves witnesses to a holocaust. Adam Hochschild bringsthis l
Casting Robert Louis Stevenson as his protagonist, Alberto Manguel, author of the international best seller A History of Reading, spins an intoxicating murder mystery in the South Pacific that echoes Joseph Conrad A. S. Byatt,and the psychological underpinnings of Stevensons own work. Robert Louis Stevenson has become accustomed to the intense colors and severe humidity of Samoa, as well as the uninhibited sensuality of its people. Yet his thoughts turn nostalgically back to his native Edinburgh after a chance encounter with the newly arrived Scots missionary, Mr. Baker, whose religious invectives challenge Stevenson loosening moral code. And when a young Samoan woman is raped and brutally murdered—someone for whom Stevenson privately pined—the once idyllic island erupts into a barely controlled insurgency.With a creeping sense of both dread and suspense as well as a playful nod to Stevenson own persona and imagination, Alberto Manguel has weaved together a compelling tale in the sultry South Pacific

The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkestyears of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before orsince. Timothy Egan's critically acclaimed account rescues thisiconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour deforce of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and theircommunities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells oftheir desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dustblizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantlycapturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equaljustice to the human characters who become his heroes, "the stoic,long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgencyand respect" (New York Times). In an era that promises ever-greaternatural disasters, "The Worst Hard Time" is "arguably the bestnonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatestenvironmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and apowerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling withnature
