*Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize and the Franco-British Society Literary Award* *Shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize* A magnificent biography of the founder of Impressionism In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

The Princeton Economic History of the Western World

A study of the changes in wealth and its distribution in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Paris that maps the interplay among wealth, inequality, and welfare Successful economies sustain capital accumulation across generations, and capital accumulation leads to large increases in private wealth. In this book, Gilles Postel-Vinay and Jean-Laurent Rosenthal map the fluctuations in wealth and its distribution in Paris between 1807 and 1977. Drawing on a unique dataset of the bequests of almost 800,000 Parisians, they show that real wealth per decedent varied immensely during this period while inequality began high and declined only slowly. Parisians’ portfolios document startling changes in the geography and types of wealth over time. Postel-Vinay and Rosenthal’s account reveals the impact of economic factors (large shocks, technological changes, differential returns to wealth), political factors (changes in taxation), and demographic and social factors (age and gender) on wealth and inequality. Before World War I, private wealth was highly predictive of other indicators of welfare, including different forms of human capital, age at death, and access to local public goods. After World War I, public intervention reduced—but did not eliminate—the strong connection between wealth inequality and other forms of inequality. Over the two centuries covered, Paris and its wealth were on the vanguard of economic and social change that affected the rest of the country a generation later.

Outstanding Contributions to Archaeology

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Poznä School of Archaeology, an original mode of archaeological thought that emerged in Poznä in the 1960s and 1970s. The book examines the significance of this original Polish archaeological thought in its broad academic context and places it in the realm of the social and intellectual framework of Europe. It is directed to the worldwide community of researchers interested in understanding the nature of the studies of the past and places this original and well-developed school of archaeological thought in its broad geographical and chronological perspective.


The Poznä School of Archaeology made explicit efforts to break off ties with the culture-history paradigm and rejected the simplified functional and rigid deductive-nomological explanations. Developed in the context of non-Marxist historical materialism, over decades it transformed itself into a distinct and multifaceted archaeological research school embedded in the tradition of cultural studies, philosophy, history, and the natural sciences. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate programmes in archaeology and archaeological theory.

A Penguin Classics Hardcover

A beautiful, boxed set of the major works by the three great Stoic philosophers, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith This collection presents the greatest works by the three major Stoic philosophers, in beautiful Clothbound Classic mini hardcover editions designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Meditations, written by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to provide personal consolation, is one of the most influential works of philosophy of all time. Seneca's Letters to a Stoic upholds the ideals of Stoicism — the wisdom of the self-possessed person immune to life's setbacks — while valuing friendship and courage. And in his Discourses, Epictetus argues that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not. Together, these works offer a gift-worthy introduction to Stoicism. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2026* 'There is no living writer whose new books I fall on with greater delight than Laurent Binet. . . Perspectives is a proper treat' Naomi Alderman 'A dazzling romp' Guardian Florence,1557. As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart. Above him, the paintings he laboured over for more than a decade. At his home, a hidden portrait scandalously depicting Maria de Medici, daughter of the Duke of Florence, as a naked Venus. Who is the murderer? Who made the painting? As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation. Letters fly back and forth carrying news of plots and speculation about the killer's identity - between Maria and her aunt Catherine de' Medici, the queen of France; between Catherine and her secret agents; and between Vasari and his friend Michelangelo. And the truth, when it comes to light, is as shocking as the bold new artworks that have made Florence the red-hot centre of Europe. Bursting with characters and colour, Perspectives is a mystery like no other that shows us Renaissance Florence as we've never seen it before - a dazzling, hugely entertaining novel of court machinations, murder and art. 'Doesn't get much better than this' Sunday Telegraph 'A racy and enjoyable detective story' The Times 'A dazzling romp' Guardian 'Funny and very gripping' Financial Times

Seit den 80er-Jahren ist es ein wichtiger Teil des Selbstverständnisses der deutschsprachigen Theologie, sich als 'Theologie nach Auschwitz' zu begreifen. Die veränderten gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen - das Sterben der letzten Zeitzeug*innen und Täter*innen, neue Formen des Rassismus und Antisemitismus, Migration, Digitalisierung und Klimakrise - drängen heute zu einer interdisziplinären und selbstkritischen Fortschreibung dieses Erbes. Die Beiträger*innen nehmen vor diesem Hintergrund die Pluralisierung und Verflechtung globaler Erinnerungskulturen ebenso in den Blick wie das Erbe der kolonialen Vergangenheit, interreligiöse Fragestellungen und die Transformationen des Erinnerns im Anthropozän und schreiben das Erbe der Theologie nach dem Holocaust fort.

Verflochtene Erinnerung

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked as much by dry British humor as by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events. Freedman takes us from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years. Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry, he reveals a truly new story of a very old family. The Rothschilds makes a great contribution not only to Jewish history but also our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

'In the best traditions of "history from below", Raquel Varela and Roberto della Santa restore two hundred years of class struggle in Portugal to where it belongs'&nbsp;Andy Durgan, historian and author of Volunteers for the Revolution

'A remarkable achievement - sweeping in scope, beautifully written, and politically alive on every page'&nbsp;Yassamine Mather,&nbsp;Middle East Centre, University of Oxford

'Forceful, vigorous, and passionate'&nbsp;Ricardo Antunes, Professor of Sociology at University of Campinas

A People's History of Portugal reconstructs the last two hundred years of class struggle in Portugal. Raquel Varela and Roberto della Santa examine the material conditions of its people - examining the real causes of the revolutionary waves and counter-revolutionary backlash.

Starting in the early nineteenth century, the theme of colonialism and its antithesis runs through the narrative, as working-class life was closely entwined with Portuguese colonial exploitation. Despite relatively slow industrial development, Portuguese people spearheaded a surprisingly vigorous radical culture of dissent, eventually sparking a social and political revolution in 1974. More recently, Portugal's inclusion in the European Union has put its people in a neoliberal stranglehold that stifles democracy to this day. Are the working people of Portugal able to carry the memory of the revolutionary past into its future? This is a history of, and for, the people.

Raquel Varela is a professor at New University of Lisbon, and Honorary Fellow at the International Institute for Social History. She is the author of A People's History of the Portuguese Revolution, A People's History of Europe, and the graphic novel Utopia, with Robson Villalba.

Roberto della Santa is an Integrated Researcher at the Open University of Lisbon, and Scientific Co-Coordinator of the OCVT/UNL. He is the co-author of The 25th of April Began in Africa, Working and Living in the 21st Century, and Global Labour Studies (in Portuguese).

A People's History of Portugal

Elon Musk ist der mächtigste Mann der Welt. Tesla machte ihn zum dreihundertfachen Milliardär, mit seinem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink beeinflusst er das Kriegsgeschehen in der Ukraine. Sein Social-Media-Netzwerk X nutzt Musk als Bühne für seine persönliche Propaganda. Im Herbst 2024 kaufte er sich auch noch in die US-Regierung ein. 
Musk inszeniert sich als Retter der Zivilisation, doch sein Geniegestus birgt eine erschreckende Kehrseite: Ungewöhnlich viele Arbeitsunfälle in seinen Fabriken, gefährliche Fehler des Tesla-Autopiloten und zahllose gebrochene Versprechen werfen einen dunklen Schatten auf seinen Erfolg. 
Die Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden reißen in diesem Buch Musks Fassade ein. Sie analysieren interne Tesla-Daten, werten Gerichtsakten aus und sprechen mit Kunden, Mitarbeitern und Hinterbliebenen. Ihre Recherchen zeigen einen Konzern außer Kontrolle und einen Chef ohne Skrupel. Sie sind ein Vorgeschmack darauf, was die Welt von Musk als erstem globalen Oligarchen zu erwarten hat. 
'Ich habe kein Problem damit, gehasst zu werden', sagt Elon Musk. Seine Biografie gleicht einer Kaskade von Kämpfen - mit seinen Mitarbeitern, seinen Geschäftspartnern und in seinen privaten Beziehungen. Nun ist er der Schattenpräsident der USA und greift über sein Netzwerk X weltweit in die Politik ein. Musk geriert sich als Schutzpatron für rechte und rechtsextreme Politiker. Die preisgekrönten Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden zeichnen das Porträt eines libertären Techno-Autokraten, der keine Grenzen akzeptiert. Sein Motto: Die Welt gehört ihm, alle anderen leben nur darin.&nbsp;Aktualisierte und leicht überarbeitete Neuauflage nach den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen in der US-Regierung und rund um das Tesla-Werk in der brandenburgischen Gemeinde Grünheide.

'Dazzling ... The remarkable story of how British culture was transformed by émigré architects, filmmakers and writers' Guardian Britain. Made in Europe. In the 1930s, tens of thousands of central Europeans sought sanctuary from fascism in Britain. While the rainy, seemingly quaint island they discovered on arrival was a far cry from the dynamism of Weimar Berlin or Red Vienna, it was safe, and it became home. Yet the émigrés had not arrived alone: they brought with them new and radical ideas, and as they began to rebuild their lives and livelihoods, they transformed the face of Britain forever. Drawing on an immense cast of artists and intellectuals, including celebrated figures like Erno Goldfinger, forgotten luminaries like Ruth Glass, and a host of larger-than-life visionaries and charlatans, the historian Owen Hatherley argues that in the resulting clash between European modernism and British moderation, our imaginations were fundamentally realigned and remade for the better. In casting what Bertolt Brecht called, in a new German word, a Verfremdungseffekt, an 'alienation effect', on Britain, the aliens made us all a little bit alien too. Provocative, entertaining and meticulously researched, The Alienation Effect opens our eyes to the influence of the émigrés all around us - many of our most quintessentially British icons are the product of this culture clash - and entreats us to remember and renew our proud national tradition of asylum.
