The General in His Labyrinth

Gabriel Garcia Marquez 1336 rsd

The General in his Labyrinth is the compelling tale of Simon Bolivar, a hero who has been forgotten and whose power is fading, retracing his steps down the Magdalena River by the Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera.

„It was the fourth time he had travelled along the Magdalena, and he could not escape the impression that he was retracing the steps of his life“

Tito

Neil Barnett 1903 rsd

The charismatic, near-mythological figure of Josip Broz Tito was many things: an inspirational partisan leader and scourge of the Germans during their occupation of Yugoslavia in the Second World War; a doctrinaire communist but an ever-present thorn in Moscow’s side; an oppressor, a dictator, a reformer, and a playboy. He managed Yugoslavia’s internal tensions through personality, the force of will, and political oppression. It was only after his death in 1980 that the true scale of this feat was understood.

The Founders

But they would go on to change our world forever.

Various Pets Alive and Dead

Marina Lewycka 1774 rsd

Marina Lewycka explores the clash of the generations in one extremely colourful family in her comic novel Various Pets Alive and Dead. For twenty years Doro and Marcus lived in a commune, convinced lentils and free love would change the world. They didn’t.

Their son Serge hides the awkward fact that he’s a banker earning loadsamoney.

Metabolical

Dr Robert Lustig 2510 rsd

In the hard-hitting, ground-breaking tradition of his NY Times bestseller Fat Chance, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert Lustig persuasively presents a stark expose of how our addiction to processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia.
