Long before we watched superintelligent AI wage war on humanity in The Terminator, or read about a catastrophic deluge in J. G.

What makes people believe in conspiracy theories? Why have they taken over our political sphere? And how do we counter them before it s too late?The world has always had conspiracy theories. From the Illuminati to the deep state, the JFK assassination to the death of Princess Diana - there have always been those who believe that events are manipulated by shadowy forces with sinister intent. But in recent years, conspiracism has colonised the mainstream.These days, it is a booming industry, a political strategy and a pseudo-religion - and it s threatening the foundations of liberal democracy. Where once political battles were fought over ideas and values, it now feels as though we re arguing over the nature of reality itself. The problem is bigger than lizard people or UFOs: left unchecked, conspiracy theories have the power to warp the fabric of society and justify unspeakable crimes.In Conspiracy Theory: The Story of an Idea, Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey pull back the curtain on conspiracy theories: where they come from, who promotes them, how they work and what they re doing to us. From biblical myth to online hysteria, this book explains what happens when the human gift for storytelling goes wrong - and how we might restore our common reality.

Why is fascist used to describe everyone from dictators to parking wardens? Does the word fascism describe a historical movement or an enduring ideology? And could we see it rise again today, in an age of populism?Unlike most major political ideologies, fascism has no clear-cut intellectual foundation. It appeals to some of the very darkest instincts in human nature: the hatred of difference, the desire to control, the delight in violence. The story of fascism shows us what happens when these instincts consume entire nations.In Fascism: The Story of an Idea, Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey lay out in clear and accessible terms the origins of fascism: what happened, how it happened and why. It is only by understanding fascism s beginnings that we can start to understand what it means today - and guard against those who seek its return.

Its ideas have become part of the language - from Big Brother to the Thought Police , Doublethink , and Newspeak - and seem ever more relevant in the era of fake news and alternative facts .The cultural influence of 1984 can be observed in some of the most notable creations of the past seventy years, from Margaret Atwood s The Handmaids Tale to Terry Gilliam s Brazil, from Alan Moore and David Lloydâ ™s V for Vendetta to David Bowie s Diamond Dogs â “ and from the launch of Apple Mac to the reality TV landmark, Big Brother.In this remarkable and original book.

He explores the phenomenon that the novel became on publication and the changing ways in which it has been read over the decades since.2019 marks the seventieth anniversary of the publication of what is arguably Orwellâ ™s masterpiece, while the year 1984 itself is now as distant from us as it was from Orwell on publication day.

A coherent political philosophy or a vacuous cop-out? A pragmatic middle way between the extremes of left and right or a cynical strategy to secure power and neuter debate?Politicians have long invoked centrism as both a term of abuse (Margaret Thatcher) and a badge of pride (Tony Blair). Figures as important as John Maynard Keynes, Roy Jenkins, Bill Clinton and Emmanuel Macron have all had different ideas about how to make sure the centre holds. But for a term that purports to describe consensus, it s ironic just how little agreement there is over what centrism actually means.In Centrism: The Story of an Idea, Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey trace the evolution of centrism from ancient Greece to the French Revolution, the Second World War to the 2024 elections. They find a story that is much bigger than the sum of its parts - and that raises some uncomfortable questions about tribalism and compromise.

Why Political Democracy Must Go is an insightful analysis of the origins of the socialist movement in the United States, written by famed journalist John Reed, one of the most distinguished American writers on the subject. Although one of socialism’s fiercest proponents, Reed exposes the myth of ‘democratic socialism’ by providing an overview of the development of socialist thought in America. His devastating critique of political democracy argues that socialism cannot be achieved through democratic means.Originally published in 1919 in serial form, Why Political Democracy Must Go provides critical historical insight on the evolution of socialist thought in the United States. Today, when there is renewed interest in socialism on the American political scene, this notable series of essays reveals the underpinnings of socialist thought. Reed’s analysis will be of interest to those on all sides of the political spectrum.Born in Portland, Oregon, on October 22, 1887, Harvard educated John Reed was considered one of the most remarkable journalists of his generation. He became famous for his first-hand accounts of the Mexican Revolution, where he rode alongside Pancho Villa, and for his acclaimed account of the Russian Revolution, Ten Days that Shook the World. Reed was also a political activist and a founding member of the Communist Labor Party of America. He died in Russia on October 17, 1920, and is one of only three Americans buried in the Kremlin Wall.Why Political Democracy Must Go: The Origins of Socialism in the United States is edited, with an introduction by Dr. A.K. Brackob, a noted historian, and editor of John Reed’s collection of writings, Romania during World War I: Observations of an American Journalist (2018).

This is a book about the irreducible core of what it is to be human in a world that changes constantly yet repeats and repeats. Kerry HardieÂ’s poetry – as the poet Claire Askew has noted – is ‘a dark and gorgeous hymn to mortalityÂ’, using images that speak to a place in us that does not depend on fashion or technology but braves that over-used word ‘archetypalÂ’. It is mostly specific to a particular Irish landscape the author knows very well yet sometimes ventures beyond, always with the awareness that fear is our constant companion, but also joy. Its title holds an echo of Beckett: ‘I must go on, I canÂ’t go on, IÂ’ll go onÂ’, and holds something of this despair, while holding to the irrational conviction of ‘being enclosed by lightÂ’.Â

What follows is an unsettling descent into decadence, sensualism, murderous secrecy, and tragedy as the portrait supernaturally begins to reflect Dorian s spiritual and moral deterioration while his outward physical appearance remains unchanged.

More than 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication in Lippincott s Monthly Magazine, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in a paperback edition. This volume restores all of the material removed by the novel s first editor.Upon receipt of the typescript, Wilde s editor panicked at what he saw. Contained within its pages was material he feared readers would find offensive -especially instances of graphic homosexual content. He proceeded to go through the typescript with his pencil, cleaning it up until he made it acceptable to the most fastidious taste. Wilde did not see these changes until his novel appeared in print. Wilde s editor s concern was well placed. Even in its redacted form, the novel caused public outcry. The British press condemned it as vulgar, unclean, poisonous, discreditable, and a sham. When Wilde later enlarged the novel for publication in book form, he responded to his critics by further toning down its immoral elements.Wilde famously said that The Picture of Dorian Gray contains much of me : Basil Hallward is what I think I am, Lord Henry what the world thinks me, and Dorian what I would like to be-in other ages, perhaps. Wilde s comment suggests a backward glance to a Greek or Dorian Age, but also a forward-looking view to a more permissive time than his own repressive Victorian era. By implication, Wilde would have preferred we read today the uncensored version of his novel.

Richly expansive and deeply moving, an intimate novel of secret lives and painful histories from one of the finest storytellers we have This brilliant novel examines lives lived, losses accumulated, and the slipperiness of perception. Yiyun Li writes deeply, drolly, and with elegance about history, even as it s happening. She is one of my favorite writers, and Must I Go is an extraordinary book. Meg WolitzerLilia Liska is 81. She has shrewdly outlived three husbands, raised five children and seen the arrival of seventeen grandchildren. Now she has turned her keen attention to a strange little book published by a vanity press: the diary of a long-forgotten man named Roland Bouley, with whom she once had a fleeting affair.Increasingly obsessed by this fragment of intimate history, Lilia begins to annotate the diary with her own rather different version of events. Gradually she undercuts Roland s charming but arrogant voice with an incisive and deeply moving commentary. She reveals to us the surprising, long-held secrets of her past. And she returns inexorably to her daughter, Lucy, who took her own life at the age of 27.Must I Go is an unconventional epistolary novel, a gleefully one-way correspondence between the very-much-alive Lilia and the long-departed Roland. Though mortality is ever-present, this is ultimately a novel about life, in all its messy glory. Life lived, for the extraordinary Lilia, absolutely on its own terms. With exquisite subtlety and insight, Yiyun Li navigates the twin poles of grief and resilience, loss and rebirth, that compass a human heart.

â ˜McCann returns to Ireland with this collection, turning his measured gaze and incisive prose to the countryâ ™s recent history with devastating effectâ ™ Maggie Oâ ™Farrell McCann once again shows why he is one of the best writers in the world â ¦ Deeply moving and powerfully written, these are likely to become classics Big Issue___________________One powerful novella, with two thematically linked short stories on either side of it, forms the basis of Everything in This Country Must. Although these are stories about Ireland and the Troubles, they have an almost mythical rather than a political feel.In the title story, four young soldiers help a farmer and his daughter free their horse from a stream in flood, unable to understand that their help will never be anything but an insult.In the novella, Hunger Strike, a young boy and his mother flee to Galway as the boy s uncle succumbs to a hunger strike in a Derry gaol.In Wood, a ten-year-old boy is asked by his mother to make poles for the marching season.___________________ Colum McCannâ ™s stories are brooding, meditative and lyrically controlled to that delicate point where the emotion within them intensifies with each succeeding reading and recognition. The political turmoil of Northern Ireland finds here an answering, subtly respondent voice - wonderfully skilled and deeply felt Seamus Deane

Románový epos líčí barvité a dramatické osudy rodiny lotrinských kolonistů v rumunském Banátu v širokém záběru od třicetileté války po první polovinu 20. století. Autor zde vykresluje člověka jak rozpolcenou bytost, již žene vpřed touha a strach. Do detailů, a přitom se spádem evokuje krutý archaický svět, který nás děsí, ale jenž dovede být i krásný a něžný. Pro sedláky jsou v tomto světě půda, pole a majetek vším. Neváhají obětovat cokoli, jen aby si je udrželi - dokonce i své nejbližší. S touto křehkou a zároveň napínavou knihou dostáváme do rukou dech beroucí koncentrát středoevropských dějin, s jejich válkami, diktaturami i deportacemi. Je to živý obraz světa, který stále nedošel pokoje. Catalin Dorian Florescu se narodil v roce 1967 v Temešváru. Rumunsko opustil s rodiči v roce 1982 a od té doby žije v Curychu, kde vystudoval psychologii. Šest let pracoval v oblasti léčby drogových závislostí. Od roku 2001 působí jako spisovatel, dosud vydal pět románů, ale publikuje také eseje, povídky a články v německy psaných novinách a antologiích. Za nejnovější román Jacob se odhodlá milovat získal autor v roce 2011 Švýcarskou knižní cenu.
