Sevastopol Tales
'His fiction changed the way human beings think about themselves' George Saunders'If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy' Isaac BabelCrimea, 1854: Sevastopol's inhabitants taunt the besieging forces that keep them trapped behind defensive walls. So begins Leo Tolstoy's depiction of nine months of battle and bravery, based on his own experiences in the Crimean War.This new translation by acclaimed translator Nicolas Pasternak Slater introduces us to long-suffering citizens, vain hussars and the courageous Kozeltsov brothers - one jaded and pragmatic soldier, one naive and hungry for glory. Enduringly vivid, profoundly ironic, Tolstoy's portrayal of the stumble from triumph to disaster captures the absurdity at the heart of conflict.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Translated by Nicolas Pasternak Slater.Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was born into the Russian aristocracy, spent his youth in aimless dissolution, and joined the army in a bid to escape his gambling debts. Sevastopol Tales, based on his experience serving as an artillery officer in the Crimean War, helped to establish his fame as a writer in the 1850s. The war helped transform him into a passionate pacifist and social agitator. He started a series of schools for the recently emancipated serfs of Russia, as well as publishing a number of literary masterpieces, most famously the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. He gradually became a near-messianic figure, both lauded and persecuted by the Russian authorities. He was nominated five times for the Nobel Prizes in Literature and Peace, but never won.Nicolas Pasternak Slater is the nephew of novelist Boris Pasternak. After retiring from his career as a doctor he turned to translation, and has published several highly praised versions of great Russian authors, including Pushkin, Dostoyevsky and Chekhov.

Soon they’ll learn that the allotments aren’t just plots of land but a place to belong. A love letter to community and the power of activism, from the author of Ginger and Me and Graffiti Girls. Praise for Common Ground ‘A warm and tender portrait of a community coming together in crisis – and learning to fight back. Humanity glows from every page’ Karen Campbell ‘Common Ground is a book like a warm hug. A comforting story of coming together, friendship and the strength of community. A book to reassure’ Catherine Simpson 'Common Ground is shot through with seriousness, warmth & wit, and confirms that Elissa Soave is one of the surest and clearest voices in Scottish fiction.' Andrew Meehan 'What a group of beautifully depicted, perfectly flawed and deeply engaging characters' Helen Paris 'A heartwarming, empowering neighbourhood adventure about growing ourselves and one another, nurturing our public spaces and being so much stronger together than we can ever be apart.

Woodstock and the Flower Power wave have swept the East Coast and in response, the West Coast turns up the decibels with a festival of their own on the Altamont racetrack in Northern California. The biggest bands are booked, The Rolling Stones are headlining, and 300,000 people are expected for this peace, love, and rock''n''roll event.Jenny and her friends hop in their Volkswagen van and road trip from Los Angeles, the smell of marijuana trailing behind them, the promise of good music and good times ahead of them. Shortly after their arrival, tensions rise, a fight breaks out in the crowd, and pandemonium ensues. Hired to ensure security and paid in beer, the Hells Angels begin moving the crowd away from the stage with bats and chains, but the poorly organized event quickly spirals out of control and the dream of a ''Woodstock West'' takes a deadly turn.Altamont follows the story of Jenny and each of her friends as they navigate love, friendship, and their own personal demons all while trying to make it out of the concert alive.
