Think you already know the story of Charles Dickens' life? Think again. Almost everything you're familiar with was first mentioned in an authorised biography written by Dickens' close friend John Forster 150 years ago. It's the version of events that Dickens himself chose to make public, and newly accessible archives reveal that it's crammed with gaps, inconsistencies, and outright lies. There's the sister whose existence Dickens kept secret and the Jewish relations whose faith he strove to conceal. There's plagiarism, fraud, and suicide. And that's only for starters. Helena Kelly, author of the acclaimed Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, retells Dickens' story from his childhood to his deathbed, uncovers the truths he tried to keep hidden, and offers a fresh - and deeply troubling - perspective on the man who remains one of Britain's best-known novelists. You won't be able to look at him - or his work - in the same way again.

Plus, there is an in-depth look at how historic lies can still impact our lives today, such as the deadly legacy of America’s Tuskegee Experiment.Meet incredible people, including Jeanne de Clisson who became the fourteenth century's most feared pirate – all because of a lie.A Short History of the World in 50 Lies details the profound impact of this secretive side of history and shows that the truth really is stranger – and far more dangerous – than any fiction.

Over 250 rarely seen stunning images documenting the rise of hip-hop in the early 1980s. This book features many stunning and intimate images of a star-studded roll call of legendary hip-hop figures, many of whom were just relatively known at the time, and while all in their ascendency - including Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmixer DST, Jazzy Jay, Red Alert, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Lisa Lee, the Fat Boys, Run-DMC, Beastie Boys & many more. In the early 1980s, hip hop was becoming a fully- formed cultural force rather than just a musical fashion and this book documents all four essential elements of this new world of Hip-Hop: the emcees, the deejays, the graffiti artists and the breakdancers. Here you will see legendary graffiti artists captured at work and play (such as Keith Haring, Dondi, Futura, Phase One, Zephyr, Lady Pink), and breakdancers including members of Magnificent Force, Dynamic Breakers, and the Rock Steady Crew. Sophie Bramly lived in New York in the early 1980s and became firmly embedded in the emergent scene. The book features many stunning, intimate images of a star-studded roll call of legendary hip hop figures, all of whom were only just getting known or in their ascendency.

MTV Raps, the first ever hip-hop show on the channel. "In 1981, photographer Sophie Bramly moved from France to New York and for two years documented the Big Apple’s burgeoning hip-hop scene, taking pictures of graffiti artists, breakdancers and rappers such as the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC.” - The Guardian “This wonderfully hefty photography title documents the early years of hip hop”. - Record Culture "During the early 80s, on Saturday nights at the Roxy in downtown Manhattan and at the Bronx River Center, acts like Run-D.M.C., Afrika Bambaataa and Fab 5 Freddy created a totally new scene in New York.

Dominantní narativ o rasových vztazích v USA dnes říká, že hlavní nebezpečí pro životy černochů představuje bělošský rasismus, zejména násilnický a rasistický rasismus policistů. Podle tohoto názoru je Amerika beznadějně rasistický národ. Vznikla organizace Black Lives Matter (BLM), která vede protesty a dokonce i nepokoje v reakci na případy, kdy běloch, zejména policista, zabije černocha. Kniha Taleeba Starkese Black Lies Matter: Proč jsou lži důležité pro průmysl rasových stížností, je odvážným, prozíravým a pravdivým popisem narůstajících rasových konfliktů a její zásadní poselství má význam pro život nebo smrt. Jeden z nejpoutavějších bodů knihy - podložený množstvím důkazů - se týká toho, co je zdaleka nejvážnějším nebezpečím pro životy černých Američanů: černošští grázlové. Tvrdá data jsou ohromující a děsivá zároveň: Černoši, kteří tvoří 13 procent obyvatel USA, zabijí 90 procent černošských obětí vražd. Běloši, Asiaté a Latinoameričané, kteří tvoří 87 % populace, zabijí 10 % černošských obětí vražd. Již tento bod sám o sobě stačí k vyvrácení tvrzení, že rasističtí běloši jsou dominantní hrozbou pro životy černých Američanů. Je to ještě horší. Starkes píše: \"Čísla vypovídají jen část příběhu této převážně městské války, kde se oběti [až] nápadně podobají svým vrahům\".
