W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his ‘very self’ into his poems. T. S.

For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats’s work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered)...

The Churchills dominated world politics for generations - but, like every family, they too have their secrets. Winston`s mother, Jennie, had an affair with the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, and her spendthrift habits devastated the family`s reputation. The younger brother, Jack, played a crucial role both in Winston`s successes and in holding the family together during tough times. From Sir Randolph`s alleged syphilis to Winston`s illegitimacy, from Jennie`s gambling problem to Jack`s dashed ambitions, authors Celia and John Lee use never-before-seen archives to cut through the rumors and lies and get to the truth about the life of the former prime minister and his relationship with his family.
This is a classic story from one of our best-loved authors. Gemma doesn`t believe a chicken could have written a book - chickens can`t even read! But here in front of them is The True Story of Harrowing Farm, and its scratchy pages definitely look, well, chickeny. It is an epic tale of cruelty and bravery, the story of a chicken who flies frillions of miles, reaching the heights of intergalactic superstardom, to try to save us humans.

From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Virgin s Lover," this enthralling new novel answers one of history s most intriguing questions: What lay behind Katherine of Aragon s enormous, history-changing lie?
A New York Times bestseller, "The Conquerors" reveals how Franklin Roosevelt`s and Harry Truman`s private struggles with their aides and Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin affected the unfolding of the Holocaust and the fate of vanquished Nazi Germany. With monumental fairness and balance, "The Conquerors" shows how Roosevelt privately refused desperate pleas to speak out directly against the Holocaust, to save Jewish refugees and to explore the possible bombing of Auschwitz to stop the killing. The book also shows FDR`s fierce will to ensure that Germany would never threaten the world again. Near the end of World War II, he abruptly endorsed the secret plan of his friend, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, to reduce the Germans to a...
