The future future
£9.99The future future
It’s the 18th century, and Celine is in trouble. Her husband is mostly absent. Her parents are elsewhere. And somewhere men are inventing stories about her – about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them – spreading them like a plague. Celine watches as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten in the world. This is a world of decadence and saturation, of lavish parties and private salons, of tulle and satin and sex and violence. It’s a universe ruled by men – all high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, crimes against women and, above all, language. To survive it, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth and beauty.

The last days of the Ottoman Empire
£12.99The last days of the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. By 1914 it had been much reduced, but still remained after Russia the largest European state. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed. Yet the Empire’s fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914, despite its successfully defending itself for much of the war, doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia. Ryan Gingeras explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago.
