**SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NONFICTION** A FOYLES TOP TEN READ FOR FEBRUARY | A 2026 HIGHLIGHT IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES, EVENING STANDARD AND THE BOOKSELLER A meeting place for Europe's bohemian artists. A headquarters of the Nazi occupation. A shelter for camp survivors. This is the true story of how one Paris hotel came to hold the weight of a century. The Hotel Lutetia is a Paris institution, the only 'grand' hotel on the city's bohemian Left Bank. Ever since it opened, it has served as a meeting place for artists, musicians and politicians. André Gide took his lunch here, James Joyce lived in one of its rooms, Picasso and Matisse were regular guests. It has a darker history, too. During one short period, it became a focus for some of the most dramatic and terrible events in recent history. In the 1930s the Hotel Lutetia attracted intellectuals and political activists, forced to flee their homes when Hitler came to power, who met here with the hope of forming an alternative government. But when war came, Paris was occupied, and the hotel became the headquarters of the German military intelligence service - and the centre of their operation to root out enemies of the Reich. In 1945, the Lutetia was requisitioned once more, this time transformed into a reception centre for deportees returning from concentration camps. Hotel Exile is about what happens on the edges of a war. At its heart are three groups of people connected to a place, to one another, and to the dark ideology which dictates the course of their lives. A masterpiece of empathy and concision, Jane Rogoyska's extraordinary new book offers us a vision of individual human beings desperately trying to find a path through some of the twentieth century's most devastating events.

Paris in the Shadow of War

Hotel Exile

True love or easy money - which would you choose?
Fresh from graduating with her master's in philosophy, Anna is shocked when a career counsellor tells her she has 'no special skills'. Desperate for work and financial independence, she accepts a thankless job at a TV talk show. She might be making minimum wage, but at least she has her boyfriend Lulu, the love of her life, to come home to at night.
But one day Lulu starts throwing up cash - thousands of euros in just a few days - hurtling the twenty-something couple into unforeseen wealth. Having spent their lives proudly rejecting consumer society, they suddenly find themselves rich, and Anna is loving every minute of it: she gets a designer bag, they vacation in Tahiti, they throw wild parties in their fancy new apartment.
As Anna grows accustomed to a life of luxury, Lulu's health suffers, and she wonders: what would be worse, losing him or losing the money?
In Self-Worth newcomer Emma Tholozan delivers a raw, brutally funny portrait of a generation without ideals.

Self-Worth

'A brilliant and challenging book' GORDON BROWNFrom the founder of Britain's leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies - and how to go about it.If you're shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you're not alone.Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain - with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK - has been far from immune from far-right politics.From HOPE not hate's pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the 'manosphere' and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of 'race science' and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain's deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism.His conclusions - which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners - suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples - from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford - of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.

How to Defeat the Far Right

Cultural Heritage Studies

What can art and artists bring to researching the origins and biographies of objects? How do they shed new light on - or even unsettle - existing approaches to such questions? Proposing the new term - artistic provenance research - the contributors to this innovative book illuminate art's capacity to expand provenance research in critical and provocative ways. Presenting in-depth examination of fascinating historical and contemporary examples, contributors to Artistic Provenance Research investigate knowledge-imagination dynamics, and questions of materiality, experimentation and speculation. They probe relationships between presences and absences, the aesthetic and the ontological, the scientific and the curatorial. The cases address a wide range of pressing issues of contemporary heritage research and practice, including those of colonialism and decolonization, ownership and art-markets, institutionalization, human remains, return and restitution. Through the exploration of selected artistic works in diverse media - including drama, performance, installation, photography and text - this book highlights the transformative potentials of artistic provenance research.

Proposing the new term - artistic provenance research - the contributors to this innovative book illuminate art's capacity to expand provenance research in critical and provocative ways. Artists, anthropologists and curators offer perspectives on a recent artwork that implicates human remains, potential histories and the politics of visibility. Through theorizing historical and contemporary examples, contributors explore knowledge-imagination dynamics, and the transformative potentials of artistic provenance research.

Wie lassen sich zwei so anachronistisch scheinende Felder wie der frühneuzeitliche Vanitas-Topos und zeitgenössische Kunst vereinbaren? Hat Ersterer aufgrund seiner außerordentlich virtuosen, komplexen und gleichzeitig höchst eingängigen Stillleben eine Verdichtung von Vergänglich- und Endlichkeitsreflexionen zu verzeichnen, so ist festzustellen, dass sich insbesondere die zeitgenössische Fotografie erneut und vermehrt dieser Thematik annimmt. Aus kunstwissenschaftlicher Perspektive schließt diese Arbeit eine Forschungslücke. Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei die These, dass die Reflexion von 'Zeit' sowohl als zentrales Grundelement der Vanitas zu betrachten ist, als auch für die Fotografie auf ästhetischer, technischer sowie diskurstheoretischer Ebene als konstitutiv gelten kann. Mit Fokus auf dem Sujet des Blumenstilllebens wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern fotografische Temporalkonstruktionen mit der Denkfigur der Vanitas korrelieren, d. h. wie sich die Fotografie hinsichtlich ästhetischer als auch konzeptueller Schnittstellen zum frühneuzeitlichen Topos verhält. Anhand ausgewählter Positionen wird untersucht, inwiefern durch eine spezifisch fotografische Darstellungsweise Re-Semantisierungen erzeugt und Facetten des Topos transformiert werden können.

7 Days a Parisian

A new history of human intelligence that argues that humans know themselves by knowing their machines. We imagine that we are both in control of and controlled by our bodies--autonomous and yet automatic. This entanglement, according to David W. Bates, emerged in the seventeenth century when humans first built and compared themselves with machines. Reading varied thinkers from Descartes to Kant to Turing, Bates reveals how time and time again technological developments offered new ways to imagine how the body's automaticity worked alongside the mind's autonomy. Tracing these evolving lines of thought, An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence offers a new theorization of the human as a being that is dependent on technology and produces itself as an artificial automaton without a natural, outside origin.

An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence

This story collection is a welcome port of entry for any reader not yet familiar with Marguerite Yourcenar's works. Published to great acclaim in France in 1993, this collection is not only a delight for Marguerite Yourcenar fans but a welcome port of entry for any reader not yet familiar with the author's lengthier, more demanding works. This collection includes three stories written between 1927 and 1930 when the author was in her mid-twenties. These stories cover a range of themes, from an allegory on greed and a scene from the war of the sexes to a witch hunt that obsessively creates its own quarry. For the devoted readers of Yourcenar, this collection allows a rare glimpse at the beginnings of a writer's craft. In these accomplished but forgotten pieces, edited and introduced by her biographer, Josyane Savigneau, readers will find the blend of fable and fairy tale of Oriental Tales, the psychological chronicle of Dear Departed, and the ironic realism of A Coin in Nine Hands. Read as an introduction to Yourcenar's work, the stories take us into the writer's workshop, as it were, to the early days of creation. A Blue Tale and Other Stories carries the unmistakable voice of a formidable and vastly talented writer. Marguerite Yourcenar (her pseudonym was an anagram of her family name, Crayencour) was born in Brussels in 1903 and died in Maine in 1987. One of the most respected writers in the French language, she is best known as the author of the acclaimed Memoirs of Hadrian and The Abyss. She was awarded many literary honors, most notably election to the Académie Française in 1980, the first woman so honored.

'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.
