Основополагающая работа Эдмунда Берка "Размышления о революции во Франции" была написана в первые месяцы Французской революции, и в ней со сверхъестественной точностью были предсказаны многие из ее худших событий, включая правление террора. В этой книге Берк убедительно доказывает необходимость защиты унаследованных прав и устоявшихся обычаев, выступает за поэтапную реформу, а не за революционные изменения - и сожалеет о влиянии, которое революция может оказать на Британию. Размышления о революции во Франции в настоящее время широко рассматриваются как классическое изложение консервативной политической мысли и являются одним из величайших произведений политической риторики XVIII века • Книга на английском языке • Burke's seminal work was written during the early months of the French Revolution, and it predicted with uncanny accuracy many of its worst excesses, including the Reign of Terror подробнее

Альбер Камю сыграл значительную роль в отмене смертной казни во Франции и других странах Европы. В 1957 году он опубликовал свое знаменитое эссе «Размышления о гильотине», в котором рассматривает смертную казнь как абсолютное возмездие в мире, где абсолютная вина невозможна • Книга на английском языке • 'When silence or tricks of language contribute to maintaining an abuse that must be reformed or a suffering that can be relieved, then there is no other solution but to speak out' • Written when execution by guillotine was still legal in France, Albert Camus' devastating attack on the 'obscene exhibition' of capital punishment remains one of the most powerful, persuasive arguments ever made against the death penalty • One of twenty new books in the bestselling Penguin Great Ideas series

Penguin Wigs on the Green Mitford Nancy

Eugenia Malmains is one of the richest girls in England and an ardent supporter of Captain Jack and the Union Jackshirts; Noel and Jasper are both in search of an heiress (so much easier than trying to work for the money); Poppy and Marjorie are nursing lovelorn hearts; and the beautiful bourgeois Mrs Lace is on the prowl for someone to lighten the boredom of her life. They all congregate near Eugenia's fabulous country home at Chalford, and much farce ensues • One of Nancy Mitford's earliest novels, Wigs on the Green has been out of print for nearly seventy-five years. Nancy's sisters Unity and Diana were furious with her for making fun of Diana's husband, Oswald Mosley, and his politics, and the book caused a rift between them all that endured for years

Penguin A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful Burke Edmund

Edmund Burke was one of the foremost philosophers of the eighteenth century and wrote widely on aesthetics, politics and society. In this landmark work, he propounds his theory that the sublime and the beautiful should be regarded as distinct and wholly separate states - the first, an experience inspired by fear and awe, the second an expression of pleasure and serenity. Eloquent and profound, A Philosophical Enquiry is an involving account of our sensory, imaginative and judgmental processes and their relation to artistic appreciation. Burke's work was hugely influential on his contemporaries and also admired by later writers such as Matthew Arnold and William Wordsworth. This volume also contains several of his early political works on subjects including natural society, government and the American colonies, which illustrate his liberal, humane views
