30 The Last London

Sinclair’s London books have dazzled readers and critics for forty years, garnering praise from the likes of Peter Ackroyd, John Lanchester, Will Self, Angela Carter and J.G. Ballard. London, the one-of-a-kind-city, gets the Sinclair treatment for the last time.

Unravelling riddles, treating street names and street furniture, marks on walls, aerosol revisions to hoardings, found fragments, objects or lists or letters, sodden playing cards, as pages torn from a lost book, identifies London as a detective story. A story with unlimited chapters and no resolution. The point being to find the inspiration for the next journey, a new beginning.

Gaza A Country Preparing for Dawn Donald Macintyre A highly respected voice reveals the truth behind the myths in the Middle East’s crucible of conflict

Gaza was once a coastal civilization open to the world. However, for most of its recent history it has been seen only as a touchstone for the problems of the Middle East. Today the Gazans are a uniquely imprisoned people, most unable to travel to the West Bank, let alone Israel – where tens of thousands once worked – and unable to flee in wartime. The surprise is that so many remain courageous, outspoken and steadfast.

Donald Macintyre’s honest and revealing portrait of Gaza encompasses the tragedy but also the hope, albeit increasingly fragile, that a sense of normality might be found in everyday life. Through the stories of its people and interviews with policymakers, he shows us why, given the chance, Gaza has the Middle East/History creativity and the resilience to play a positive leading October 2017 US: November 2017 role in the Middle East. £18.99/$30 352pp Royal Hardback ‘If not for the sensitive and perceptive reporting of ISBN: 9781786071064 a few individual journalists such as Amira Hass of eISBN: 9781786071071 the Israeli daily Haaretz and Donald Macintyre of Territories: World the British Independent, the untold suffering of the Palestinian people would have gone completely unnoticed.’ Ramzy Baroud, editor of Palestine Chronicle credit: George Azar

The Women Who Dared Pioneers Who Broke All the Rules Jeremy Scott Lighting up the pages of history, these are the extraordinary stories of six women who defied the spirit of their age

For centuries few women ever found themselves in the position where they could break free from the manacles of patriarchal culture. And even when the opportunity arose surely no one in their right mind would dare to do so, such were the consequences.

From Victoria Woodhull, the psychic pariah who ran for the US presidency in 1870, to Coco Chanel, the archetypal self-made businesswoman, The Women Who Dared presents the extraordinary stories of six women who refused to live by a man’s idea of what was morally acceptable and flagged a path to liberty.
