Charlotte Bronte was a natural story-teller with a gift for creating memorable characters and for evoking atmosphere. The novel is set among the cloth mills of the author`s native Yorkshire and she succeeds brilliantly in creating the full drama of the latter part of the Napoleonic Wars when labour-saving machinery was smashed by desperate, unemployed workers. Rich in historical detail, "Shirley" is a human as well as a social novel with a perpetual relevance in its exploration of humanity`s efforts to reconcile personal and economic aspirations with social justice and harmony.

Charlotte Bronte was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Bronte sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels have become classics of English literature.

Written after the deaths of Branwell, Emily and Anne, she found it a struggle to finish and in her portraits of Shirley Keeldar and Caroline Helstone Charlotte Bronte poured out her feelings for her dead sisters. Nevertheless, it is a historical novel which depicts an uneasy era of Luddite riots, bad harvests and social unrest as well as Charlotte Bronte`s belief that the denial of the world of feeling is responsible for much of society`s suffering. Tense, romantic, atmospheric, ringing with imaginative power, Charlotte Bronte`s story of the two women and the men they loved grips until the last page.

In this groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman`s free-market economic revolution, Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement`s peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies.
