From the rousing rhythms of “Lepanto” to the introspective depth of “The Ballad of the White Horse”, this curated selection showcases Chesterton’s signature style: playful yet profound, grounded yet soaring.

Opowieść o Januszu Przymanowskim, który „Rudym 102" zawojował całą Polskę Czy jest choć jeden dorosły Polak, który nie słuchał serialu „Czterej pancerni i pies"? Podczas emisji w peerelowskiej TVP każdego z odcinków wyludniały się ulice i podwórka. Ten popularny cykl zatrzymywał przed ekranami wiele pokoleń, a jego popularność trwa do dzisiaj. Sama książka Janusza Przymanowskiego to także fenomen, i to nie tylko w sensie literackim, ale socjologicznym i kulturowym. Skąd sukces opowieści, w której można znaleźć sporo naiwności, wręcz komiksowych uproszczeń?

El 12 de febrero de 1910 aparece en el Daily Mirror la fotografía de la visita del emperador de Etiopía y otros altos dignatarios al acorazado Dreadnought. Esta visita diplomática es, sin embargo, una broma organizada para burlarse de la Armada inglesa. Y, broma dentro de la broma, uno de los falsos etíopes ni siquiera es un hombre: la primera por la izquierda, de hecho, no es otra que Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) disfrazada.

Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management – including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management – have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends – such as Beyond Certainty and The Second Curve – has changed the way we view society. In his new book, Handy, looking back over a rich and varied life, shares the lessons he has learned along the way. What things really matter? What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant? How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world.

But with her mother’s heartbreaking descent into dementia, and Molly’s realization that she is going to lose this remarkable woman, it is also a story of love, of loss, of confusion and of deep grief.

Mary Wollstonecraft is widely hailed as the mother of modern feminism. The book that made her famous, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, is a work of worldwide renown. Yet the range of her achievements as a thinker and writer reach far beyond this text. She was a multi-faceted author, and although the condition of women was a constant preoccupation throughout her life, she wrote on a wide variety of topics and in a range of literary forms, some of which she created herself.
