Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Letters to Franca 19611972
Book SynopsisLetters to Franca collects together the 500 extraordinary letters Louis Althusser wrote to Franca Madonia between 1961 and 1973. A collection of writings which reveal a different Althusser who Franca claimed, when commenting on the letters, neither quite the same, nor quite another. as his public persona. The letters also narrate the most productive part of Althusser's intellectual life and the time in which his most characteristic works were elaborated and published.The correspondence thus allows a unique insight into the laboratory' of Althusser's theoretical, institutional and political trajectory, offering an intimate account of the establishment of Althusserian Marxism and the intellectual, historical and political milieu within which it came to prominence. But the correspondence also, of course, charts the story of Althusser's relationship with Franca Madonia, encountered in 1961 and becoming Althusser''s lover, intellectual confidante and Italian translator; the letters

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The China Journals
Book SynopsisThese private journals, made available here for the first time, record Hugh Trevor-Roper's visit to the People's Republic of China in the autumn of 1965, shortly before the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, and describe the controversial aftermath of his journey on his return to England.The visit was a catalogue of frustrations, which he relates with the verve and irony of a master narrator who relished the human comedy. His efforts to meet the real life and mind of China, in whose history and politics he had long been interested, were blocked at every turn by the resources of state propaganda and the claustrophobic attention of sullen Party guides. The visit was arranged by the London-based Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding, which was ostensibly committed to the impartial interchange of culture and ideas. It proved to be run by a Communist claque whose ruthless methods of control outwitted the well-connected membership.Back in England, and with help from MITrade ReviewEnjoyable for the human comedy and high quality of Trevor-Roper's prose. * The Spectator *Expertly edited, with touches of wit, but with pathos, too... The China Journals is a book as suitable for relishing Trevor-Roper's bitchy brilliance as it is for its fascinating insight into a China about to change forever. * History Today *Scholarly, incisive and omniscient, Davenport-Hines has done another wonderful job … Consistently entertaining. * Literary Review *These diaries are as much about the forgotten world of Britain's intellectual and academic élite in the Cold Wars as they are about China. They offer unusual light on the cultural Cold War underway in the West between fellow travellers of the Communist regimes, then apparently on the rise, and Western anti-Communists of various strains. * The Oldie *Table of ContentsA Note on the Text List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Introduction 1.

Little, Brown Book Group The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum
Book SynopsisTelegraph letter writers, that most astute body of political commentators, are probably not alone in thinking that politics has taken some strange turns in recent years. The first coalition government since 1945 has led the country from the subprime to the ridiculous, lumbering from Leveson to Libya, riots to referendums, pasty-gate to pleb-gate, Brooks to Bercow, the Bullingdon Club to the Big Society.Five years is a long time in politics. Fortunately for us, it has also been a most fertile period for the Telegraph''s legion of witty and erudite letter writers, who have their own therapeutic way of dealing with the pain. An institution in their own right, theirs is a welcome voice of sanity in a world in which the lunatics appear finally to have taken over the asylum.

Hodder & Stoughton Dear Madam President
Book SynopsisAn empowering letter from former White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri to the first woman president, and by extension, to all women working to succeed in any field.Trade ReviewMy book explained what happened and where we need to go from here. Jennifer Palmieri picks up the ball and runs with it in this book. It's about being a woman, working for a woman, and telling the stories of the personal and professional ups and downs that all women need to hear as we chart our individual and collective futures. * Hillary Rodham Clinton *A powerful, personal, and sometimes painful book written for any woman who has ever thought of becoming a leader. I hope it inspires more women and girls because their voices and their leadership are needed now more than ever. * Madeleine Albright *A political Lean In... unflinchingly honest. * Sunday Times *With fascinating insight and daring optimism, DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT imagines an empowering new future for women. Jennifer Palmieri offers a fresh and inspiring perspective that will speak to women determined to a make a difference in the world. I didn't put it down. * Laurene Powell Jobs *As Palmieri sifts through Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and loss, she brilliantly addresses the book to a future female leader of the US. Reading it was much like reliving the 2016 election: waves of frustration, double standards to hurdle, the repeated reminder that it is nearly impossible to be a woman in a man's world. But 'nearly impossible' is not 'impossible', and as I turned the last page, I was reminded of something in painfully short supply these days: hope. * Jodi Picoult *With her searing honestly, Jennifer Palmieri writes about loss, despair, and that flicker of hope that keeps us getting up and striving day after day. America's first woman president should keep this book on her desk and read it every morning. * Nicole Wallace *DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT is a book that every parent should encourage their daughters-and their sons-to read. * Cory Booker *Our first woman president, whomever she may be, will no doubt be wise and open enough to seek advice from the best in the business. The advice and insights Jennifer Palmieri has garnered from years on the frontlines of politics and life will make any leader better. * Maria Shriver *The perfect gift for the student-body president in your life. * New York Times Book Review *

Quercus Publishing Love Letters of Kings and Queens
Book SynopsisTender, moving, heartfelt and warm (and sporadically scandalous and outrageous too), these are the private messages between people in love. Yet they are also correspondence between the rulers of nations. From Henry VIII's lovelorn notes to Anne Boleyn and George IV's impassioned notes to his secret wife, to Queen Victoria's tender letters to Prince Albert and Edward VIII's extraordinary correspondence with Wallis Simpson - these letters depict romantic love from its budding passion to the comfort and understanding of a long union (and occasionally beyond to resentment and recrimination), all set against the background of great affairs of state, wars and the strictures of royal duty.Here is a chance to glimpse behind the pomp and ceremony, the carefully curated images of royal splendour and decorum, to see the passions, hopes, jealousies and loneliness of kings and queens throughout history. By turns tender, moving, heartfelt and warm (and sporadically scandalous and outrageous too), these are the private messages between people in love. Yet they are also correspondence between the rulers of nations, whose actions (and passions) changed the course of history, for good and bad.This morning I received your dear, dear letter of the 21st. How happy do you make me with your love! Oh! my Angel Albert, I am quite enchanted with it! I do not deserve such love! Never, never did I think I could be loved so much. Queen Victoria to Prince Albert (28 November 1839)Trade Review'Love Letters of Kings and Queens is a real treat for any royalist and anyone who enjoys reading historical letters, and it's the ideal book to dip in and out of.' - Short Books & Scribes -- Short Books & Scribes
