The Myth of American Idealism
The land of the free. The home of the brave. But what has America achieved in the aim of 'spreading democracy' - except wreak havoc across the globe and establish a reckless foreign policy that serves the interest of few and has endangered all too many?
In this timely book, Noam Chomsky writing with Nathan J. Robinson, vividly traces America's pursuit of global domination - from Washington's role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - offering an incisive critique of the self-serving myths that dominant elites in the United States continue to push.
Thorough, urgent and provocative, The Myth of American Idealism offers a highly readable entry to the conclusions Noam Chomsky has come to after a lifetime of thought and activism.

The Yves Saint Laurent Revolution: The Story of Le Smoking
The story of an outfit, a designer, his muse, and what the three of them created together: contemporary style.
Paris, 1966. In the tranquility of his studio on Avenue Marceau, Yves Saint Laurent is conducting research for his next collection. From his drawings a female figure emerges... in a tuxedo! 'Le Smoking' is born.
New York, 1967. Yves Saint Laurent steps out for lunch on the Upper East Side with his lifelong muse Betty Catroux. They are denied a table at every restaurant... because Betty is wearing Le Smoking. A woman in trousers? Unacceptable!
This chic graphic novel tells the story of Yves Saint Laurent and Betty Catroux's journey with Le Smoking. Through encounters with such timeless figures from fashion and art as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior and Andy Warhol, we discover the studio secrets of the making of Le Smoking and learn how this iconic piece anticipated and contributed to second-wave feminism in the late 1960s.
Leaving Home
'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear LifeSimultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult. Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham. Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It’s about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It’s about family. It’s about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it’s richly illustrated throughout with images from the author’s childhood. As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does. 'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment

Venice Requiem
On the 22nd of January 2017, Pateh Sabally, a twenty-two-year-old Gambian refugee living in Italy since 2015, arrives in Venice from Milan. He leaves his backpack near the Scalzi Bridge, puts his train ticket and residence permit in a plastic pouch, and then plunges into the cold waters of the Grand Canal, amidst the gaze of onlookers and tourists. As he drowns, some insult him, while others shout "Africa". Outraged by this tragic death, the novel’s narrator, a young writer based in Paris, follows Pateh’s trail aiming to piece together and understand the sequence of events leading up to his death. Venice Requiem tells the story of a Venice where literature grapples with the pressing dramas of our time. Throughout the novel, the narrator quotes authors who lived in or wrote about Venice: Goldoni, Thomas Mann, Ernest Hemingway, Lord Byron, Marcel Proust, and others. Through a dialogue with the writings and experiences of these authors, the novel explores the potential of literature to rescue humanity.
America The Beautiful
Wonderfully spare, deceptively simple verses pair with richly evocative paintings to celebrate the iconic imagery of America. Each spread shows a stirring tableau, from the view of the Statue of Library at Ellis Island, to the great plains, to a spacecraft at Cape Canaveral blasting off. With illustrations paired to each line of the well-known song, and that celebrate America''s history, landscape, and people in powerful, stirring and reflective illustration. Non-fiction spreads at the end of the book will explain this history and significance of the song, and why we sing it today as well as more information on some of the places shown in the artwork.O beautiful for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain,For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain!America! America!God shed His grace on theeAnd crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea!O beautiful for pilgrim feet,Whose stern, impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness!America! America!God mend thine every flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,Thy liberty in law!O beautiful for heroes provedIn liberating strife,Who more than self their country lovedAnd mercy more than life!America! America!May God thy gold refine,Till all success be nobleness,And every gain divine!O beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleamUndimmed by human tears!America! America!God shed His grace on theeAnd crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea!

The Hidden Globe
‘This book did nothing less than make me re-see the world . . . Original, and very clever’ – Sathnam Sanghera, author of EmpirelandBorders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist’s riveting account exposes a parallel universe exempt from the laws of the land, and how the wealthy and powerful benefit from it. The map of the globe shows the world we think we know: sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens’ rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside its neatly delineated borders, however, a parallel universe has been engineered into existence, consisting of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, increasingly for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful. Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of the hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed the commodity they had – bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Following its evolution around the world, she reveals how prize-winning economists, eccentric theorists, visionary statesmen, and consultants masterminded its export in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centres where immigrants languish in limbo, and charter cities controlled by foreign governments and multinational corporations – and even into outer space, where tiny Luxembourg aspires to mining rights on asteroids. By mapping the hidden geography that decides who wins and who loses in this new global order – and how it might be otherwise – The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires. ‘Vivid, revelatory’ – The New Yorker ‘Atossa Abrahamian boldly renews our sense of reality and brilliantly illuminates our political impasse’ – Pankaj Mishra, author of The Age of Anger
The North Pole
‘Extraordinary’ ANNE APPLEBAUM‘Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation’ TELEGRAPH ‘The book of a lifetime’ ELIF SHAFAK‘The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him’ MICHAEL PALIN''Heart-catching . . . fabulous'' OBSERVER ‘A beautiful book’ ALAIN DE BOTTONThe epic adventure story of humanity’s obsession with the North Pole, from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year.Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary – the first polar explorer global celebrities – who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the ‘silver-shining vacantness’ of the North Pole.Blending memories from Kagge’s own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who’s gazed out at the horizon – and wondered what happens if you just keep walking.''As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted’ RANULPH FIENNES
