Poor boy. Dark star. Spy. Transgressor. Genius. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Will in the World reveals the daring and subversive life of Christopher Marlowe - Shakespeare's contemporary, inspiration, and rival. 'A rigorous and sparkling exploration of what makes an artist .... Essential and addictive reading' MAGGIE O'FARRELL In brutally repressive Elizabethan England, artists are frightened into dull conventionality; foreigners are suspect; popular entertainment largely consists of coarse spectacles, animal fights, and hangings. Into this crude world comes an ambitious cobbler's son from Canterbury with an uncanny ear for Latin poetry - a torment for most schoolboys, yet for a few, a secret portal to beauty, visionary imagination, transgressive desire, and dangerous scepticism. What Christopher Marlowe finds on the other side of that door, and what he does with it, brings about a spectacular explosion of English literature, language, and culture, enabling the success of his collaborator and rival, William Shakespeare. With propulsive narrative flair and brilliant literary criticism, Stephen Greenblatt reconstructs the youthful involvement with the queen's spy service that shaped Marlowe's brief, troubling life and gave us his Tamburlaine and Faustus - dramatic masterpieces on power and its costs. And with detailed historical insight, Greenblatt explores how the people Marlowe knew, and the transformations they wrought, birthed the economic, scientific, and cultural power of the modern world - involving Faustian bargains with which we reckon still.

PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • The highly anticipated biography of Sylvia Plath that focuses on her remarkable literary and intellectual achievements, while restoring the woman behind the long-held myths about her life and art. “One of the most beautiful biographies I've ever read." —Glennon Doyle, author of #1 New York Times Bestseller, Untamed A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century With a wealth of never-before-accessed materials, Heather Clark brings to life the brilliant Sylvia Plath, who had precocious poetic ambition and was an accomplished published writer even before she became a star at Smith College. Refusing to read Plath’s work as if her every act was a harbinger of her tragic fate, Clark considers the sociopolitical context as she thoroughly explores Plath’s world: her early relationships and determination not to become a conventional woman and wife; her troubles with an unenlightened mental health industry; her Cambridge years and thunderclap meeting with Ted Hughes; and much more. Clark’s clear-eyed portraits of Hughes, his lover Assia Wevill, and other demonized players in the arena of Plath’s suicide promote a deeper understanding of her final days. Along with illuminating readings of the poems themselves, Clark’s meticulous, compassionate research brings us closer than ever to the spirited woman and visionary artist who blazed a trail that still lights the way for women poets the world over.

A Sunday Times Crime Club Starred Pick Praise for Diary of a Dead Man on Leave “Downing’s thriller commands our attention until the very last page.” —The Wall Street Journal “Compelling . . . Like Downing’s deeply researched and convincing Second World War series featuring John Russell, the British journalist-spy, [ Diary of a Dead Man on Leave] deals with the war in thrilling fashion.” —Toronto Star “This powerful, fascinating and touching story not only details the failures of the past, but is also a warning in an age of increasing extremist nationalism, that if people don’t want history to repeat itself, they need to pay greater attention to the actions of their governments. It’s a brilliant, biting read with a message for those who care to see.” —Crime Review (UK) “This is a timely, thought provoking novel, historically accurate in all respects. It is one that should not be missed.” —Deadly Pleasures Magazine “Tingles with suspense.” —Bayou Catholic Monthly “The voice [Hofmann's] that emerges is one of a man struggling with the enduring issue that surfaces and resurfaces throughout espionage fiction, from Graham Greene to John le Carré and Alan Furst: loyalty to country versus loyalty to the individual . . . This is a quiet, largely introspective spy novel, very different in mood from Downing's adventure-fueled Jack McColl novels, but it packs an equal if not greater emotional wallop.” —Booklist; Starred Review “Downing (the John Russell series) has never been better than in this moving and elegiac thriller framed as a diary written by a German calling himself Josef Hofmann . . . Le Carré fans will be pleased.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Praise for David Downing “[Downing] is a master at bringing the past to life through the careful and often loving observation of even minor players and through the artful deployment of specific detail.” —The Wall Street Journal “Downing distinguishes himself by eschewing the easy ways out. He doesn't shy away from portraying the cold brutality of the Third Reich, and his characters are far from stereotypes—they're flawed, confused and real.” —NPR “Downing is brilliant at weaving history and fiction . . . Equally clever and unexpected.” —Toronto Globe and Mail

'Forsyth has lost none of his storytelling finesse and geopolitical grasp . . . this is Forsyth at his spellbinding best' Daily Mail 'An ingenious, expertly written and serious look at international conflicts which threaten the future of the world' Washington Post Most weapons do what you tell them. Most weapons you can control. But what if the most dangerous weapon in the world isn't a smart missile or a stealth submarine or even an AI computer programme? What if it's a 17-year-old boy with a blisteringly brilliant mind, who can run rings around the most sophisticated security services across the globe, who can manipulate that weaponry and turn it against the superpowers themselves? How valuable would he be? And what wouldn't you do to get hold of him? The Fox is a race-against-time thriller across continents to find and capture, or protect and save, an asset with the means to change the balance of world power. Whatever happens he must not fall into the wrong hands. Because what follows after that is unthinkable... ***Praise for Frederick Forsyth*** 'In a class by itself. Unputdownable.' Sunday Times 'Forsyth did away with the conventions of thriller-writing and still kept readers enthralled. He reset the whole genre.' Guardian 'Meticulously researched' BBC ''Forsyth...personified the journalist-author as superstar.' Telegraph ***Don't miss Revenge of Odessa , the new book from Frederick Forsyth and Tony Kent***
