Bloomsbury Orwell. A Man Of Our Time Bradford Richard

On his travels through the wild mountainous terrain of the Caucasus, the narrator of A Hero of Our Time chances upon the veteran soldier and storyteller Maxim Maximych, who relates to him the dubious exploits of his former comrade Pechorin. Engaging in various acts of duelling, contraband, abduction and seduction, Pechorin, an archetypal Byronic anti-hero, combines cynicism and arrogance with melancholy and sensitivity • Causing an uproar in Russia when it was first published in 1840, Lermontov's brilliant, seminal study of contemporary society and the nihilistic aspect of Romanticism – accompanied here by the unfinished novel Princess Ligovskaya – remains compelling to this day

An inspiring collection of quotes from The Talks, a much-loved online magazine featuring candid interviews with visionaries • Over the last decade, The Talks has conducted more than 500 interviews with cultural visionaries - illuminating conversations with artists, actors, directors, chefs, fashion designers, architects, authors, musicians, and athletes. For this book, The Talks' founders Sven Schumann and Johannes Bonke have selected the finest quotes from those conversations and arranged them by category - including acting, advice, age, beauty, creativity, inspiration, love, money, nature, rebellion, and more. The result: a fast-paced, insightful look into the lives and minds of the creative voices of our time

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Overstory, an enthralling, wrenching novel about the lives and choices of one family, caught on the cusp of identities • Jonah, Ruth and Joseph are the children of mixed-race parents determined to raise them beyond time, beyond identity, steeped in song. Yet they cannot be protected from the world forever • Even as Jonah becomes a successful young tenor, the opera arena remains fixated on his race. Ruth turns her back on classical music and disappears, dedicating herself to activism and a new relationship. As the years pass, Joseph – the middle child, a pianist and our narrator – must battle not just to remain connected to his siblings, but to forge a future of his own • This is a story of the tragedy of race in America, told through the lives and choices of one family caught on the cusp of identities

How did a piece of gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms? • What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays? • How did the experiments in the run-up to the Large Hadron Collider lead to the invention of the World Wide Web? • Asking questions has always been at the heart of physics, our unending quest to understand the Universe and how everything in it behaves. How do we know all that we know about the world today? It's not simply because we have the maths – it's because we have done the experiments • Accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the creative and curious people who, through a combination of genius, persistence and luck, staged the ground-breaking experiments of the twentieth century.
