Penguin Wigs on the Green Mitford Nancy

This is Mark Twain's description of life on the Mississippi River, with observations and anecdotes about the culture and society along the river valley. It includes character sketches, historical facts, information and reminiscences of Twain's boyhood and experiences as a steam-boat pilot. Part travel book, part autobiography, and part social commentary, Life on the Mississippi is a memoir of the cub pilot's apprenticeship, a record of Twain's return to the river and to Hannibal as an adult, a meditation on the harsh vagaries of nature, and a study of the varied and sometimes violent activities engaged in by those who live on the river's shores

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

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

Frederick II of Prussia attempted to escape his authoritarian father as a boy, but went on to become one of history's greatest rulers. He loved the flute, and devoted hours of study to the arts and French literature, forming a long-lasting but turbulent friendship with Voltaire. He was a military genius and enlarged the borders of his empire, but he also promoted religious tolerance, economic reform and laid the foundation for a united Germany. Nancy Mitford brings all these contradictions and achievements to sparkling life in an fascinating, intimate biography
