Penguin Abbey Road Hepworth David

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. One of the most important thinkers ever to write in English, the Empiricist David Hume liberated philosophy from the superstitious constraints of religion; here, he argues that all are free to choose between life and death, considers the nature of personal taste and succinctly criticises common philosophies of the time

The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback • Although he styled himself 'His Highness', adopted the court ritual of his royal predecessors, and lived in the former royal palaces of Whitehall and Hampton Court, Oliver Cromwell was not a king - in spite of the best efforts of his supporters to crown him • Yet, as David Horspool shows in this illuminating new portrait of England's Lord Protector, Cromwell, the Puritan son of Cambridgeshire gentry, wielded such influence that it would be a pretence to say that power really lay with the collective. The years of Cromwell's rise to power, shaped by a decade-long civil war, saw a sustained attempt at the collective government of England; the first attempts at a real Union of Britain; the beginnings of empire; a radically new solution to the idea of a national religion; atrocities in Ireland; and the readmission to England of the Jews, a people officially banned for over three and a half centuries

In five elegant autobiographical meditations Calvino delves into his past, remembering awkward childhood walks with his father, a lifelong obsession with the cinema and fighting in the Italian Resistance against the Fascists. He also muses on the social contracts, language and sensations associated with emptying the kitchen rubbish and the shape he would, if asked, consider the world. These reflections on the nature of memory itself are engaging, witty, and lit through with Calvino's alchemical brilliance

В середине тридцатых годов издатель Джорджа Оруэлла поручил ему написать книгу о безработице и социальных условиях экономически неблагополучного севера Англии. Результатом его усилий стала «Дорога на Уиган-Пирс», это революционное для своего времени произведение. В нём знаменитый писатель и журналист рассказывает о жизни в городах Барнсли, Шеффилд и Уиган, где ему довелось побывать в 1936 году. Там он познакомился, пообщался и пожил бок о бок в паршивой ночлежке с представителями рабочего класса из безблагодатных промышленных районов Йоркшира и Ланкашира • Оруэлл ярко и пронизанным сочувствием тоном описывает трудности простых людей, живших в трущобах, работавших в опасных условиях, получавших гроши, и изголодавшихся как по сытной еде, так и по справедливости
