'George RR Martin meets Terry Pratchett' OBSERVER ***NOW A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*** Sir Tony Robinson - actor, presenter, historical expert and star of Blackadder and Time Team - makes his adult fiction debut with this earthy, entertaining and gloriously witty recreation of the Anglo-Saxons, Alfred the Great, and the making of England. 'A page-turner full of historical intelligence, wit and heart' DAN JONES 'Brings the Anglo-Saxon world riotously to life' S.J PARRIS 'Entirely brilliant, a story and world vividly evoked' KATE WILLIAMS 'Every bit and wise, witty and entertaining as you would expect from one of our greatest storytellers' MARK BILLINGHAM ______ Rome Father Asser is waiting to die. His idealism has landed him in a papal prison on trumped-up charges of heresy, until salvation arrives in an unexpected form. Cardinal Balotelli also dreams of a better world, free from the ravages of the Norlanders. He has a vital job for Asser, one that could shape the future of Europe. Wessex King Aethelwolf's power is fading, but none of his feckless children are fit to rule. His eldest sons would rather fight each other than the blood-thirsty Norland invaders. His daughter, Swift, is clever and cunning, but often blinded by her ambition. Finally there's Alfred, his once-promising younger son, whom nobody has seen in years. Then Wolf meets a young priest with a proposition from Rome that could change everything. Lindisfarne Rhiannon is a slave with a profound hatred for her Saxon captors. When she meets Guthrum, a Norlander hell-bent on wiping Wessex from the map, they set out on a journey of destruction. So begins an epic struggle between greed and idealism, ambition and betrayal, freedom and tyranny. Because change always meets with resistance and, on the path to power, nobody can be trusted. The House of Wolf appeared in the Sunday Times hardback bestseller chart in the week ending 20th September 2025.

In My Early Life, Churchill describes his education and his experience in four wars on three continents as a young officer and newspaper correspondent, including his cavalry charge against the Dervishes at Omdurman in the Sudan and his capture and escape from a Boer prisoner of war camp in South Africa. He explains how he wrote his first five books and launched his political career before taking his seat in the House of Commons at twenty-six. By the time he wrote this book, the First World War had ushered in many changes, not all of them good, and Churchill perceived a low spirit in his countrymen. He thinks a time may come when young Britons will need more love of adventure, and adventure for adventures sake, which his early life exemplifies, and he offers the new generation his own story of youthful endeavour to encourage and rekindle the spirited part of their souls. Giving an account of his own life is a summons to young people who are drifting in an eddy of mass effects to surmount their fear of death, aiming to stir up unselfish endeavor in them. Lest anyone mistake his intention in writing the book, he dedicates it TO A NEW GENERATION. This edition of My Early Life includes The Dream. This short story was first mooted at a family meal at Churchills country house at Chartwell in late November 1947, in the company of Winston and Clementine Churchills children, Diana and Randolph. Diana asked her father, if he could conjure up anyone, who would fill an empty chair in the dining room. He replied that he would choose to dine with his own father, Lord Randolph Churchill, who had died more than fifty years earlier. He went on to describe a story he meant to write, based on a dream in which Lord Randolph returned to his sons painting studio to inquire what had occurred in the intervening half-century. Encouraged by his familys enthusiasm, Churchill wrote the story soon afterwards but, after revising it, set it aside to be published later. This Private Article, as he styled it, first appeared a year after his death in the Sunday Telegraph, January 30, 1966, which described it as his last storylocked away in a box for yearsnow published for the first time. By permission of Churchill College, it is reprinted, with explanatory editorial notes, as a fitting epilogue to Churchills autobiography. Autorid: Winston S. Churchill, JAMES W. MULLER

In The Future of Futurity, Purnima Mankekar and Akhil Gupta examine the lives and experiences of call center agents in Indias business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, who live in Bengaluru and work for customers in the Global North. Mankekar and Gupta show how futurityan affective-temporal potentiality and mode of being that emphasizes the unfolding of timeenables BPO workers to strive for hopeful futures despite their experiences of growing inequality, volatility, and violence. Drawing on long-term fieldwork with managers, owners, and workers of BPO companies, the authors explore how workers find pathways for navigating a globalized world and for imagining their futures in it. They point to the heterogeneous lives, yearnings, and anxieties of BPO workers, foregrounding the disjunctions and conjunctions between labor, corporeality, intimacy, family life, and mobility. Mankekar and Gupta show how workers daily lives and imaginings of the future point to the relationships between futurity, capital, and technology as well as futuritys imbrications with contemporary racial capitalism. In so doing, the authors insist on the transformative potential of futurity even in conditions of extreme precarity. Purnima Mankekar and Akhil Gupta examine the lives and experiences of call center agents in Indias Business Process Outsourcing industry, analyzing the relationship between their imaginings of the future and the current conditions of globalized racial capital.

'This is the only book from the Second World War comparable with the first-war narratives of Sassoon, Blunden or Graves . . . When the battle of El Alamein began, the poet Keith Douglas was in Cairo with Divisional HQ. Eager not to miss the action, he took a truck and, against orders, drove to re-join his regiment. He served as a tank commander throughout the whole of the allied advance across North Africa, and Alamein to Zem Zem (1946) is his story. Boyishness and inexperience give it flash-bulb immediacy . . . Scenes of unforgettable pity and terror unfold . . . Everything, from flowers carpeting the desert in winter to vanquished enemies, is seen with a poet's eye and the generosity of youth.' John Carey, Guardian This Faber Finds edition of Keith Douglas's classic work - originally published two years after his death in Normandy in 1944 - includes a new preface by the novelist Richard Skinner.

Oceans of Time offers musicians and aficionados rare insight into the inner life of a drummer who has shaped the sound of modern jazz.Appendices include tributes from fellow drummers, discographical highlights, and a detailed look at Hart's signature drum setup.As Iverson writes in the preface, "Billy Hart connects the glory years of jazz to the latest contemporary concerns." This book is the ultimate insider's guide to jazz drumming from a master who bridges jazz's past, present, and future. About the Authors NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart is a musical legend whose career spans over 600 recordings and five decades of groundbreaking performances. Comfortable in diverse contexts ranging from straight-ahead to avant-garde to pop, Hart bore witness to many major changes in jazz during the transformative '60s and '70s while working in the bands of Shirley Horn, Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery, Pharaoh Sanders, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Stan Getz. He became the drummer of choice for countless jazz luminaries and has released a dozen albums as a leader. Beyond performing, Hart has mentored generations of musicians and continues to teach at prestigious institutions worldwide. In 2022 he was named a NEA Jazz Master, in 2023 he received the Living Legacy Jazz Award from Mid-Atlantic Arts, and in 2025 was part of the first group of musicians awarded the Jazz Legacies Fellowship from the Mellon Foundation and the Jazz Foundation of America. Pianist and acclaimed jazz critic Ethan Iverson brings a unique perspective to this collaboration, having known Hart for three decades and performed in his quartet since 2003. Iverson was a founding member of the influential trio The Bad Plus; since leaving that group, he has released critically-acclaimed albums on ECM and Blue Note and maintains a long-standing relationship with modern dance choreographer Mark Morris. As a writer, his music criticism has appeared in The New York Times,The New Yorker, The Nation, and JazzTimes, in addition to his widely-read Substack, Transitional Technology. This rare combination of deep musical partnership and journalistic insight makes Iverson the ideal collaborator to capture Hart's remarkable story.
