'At last. At last this very important book has been written . . . It will empower legions of women to step into their greatness.' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE What could you achieve if you were confident enough to take risks? How much more fulfilled would you be if you ignored other people's perceptions and forged your own path?

As the founder of a global leadership programme for women, Tara Mohr has spent her career teaching exceptional women to find their voice and their confidence. In Playing Big she shares her proven techniques for mastering self-doubt, dealing with criticism and communicating with authority. She also demonstrates how to become self-assured enough to stop planning and take a leap forward so that you can achieve the things you want most. 'The perfect catalyst for any woman who wants to go outside her comfort zone, find her voice and embrace the biggest possibilities of her life.' Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct

Petunia Moraleng, voormalige stasiebevelvoerder op Parys, is haar rang kwyt en oorgeplaas Mooibaai toe. Die bedompige klimaat voel soos ’n tronksel en sy mis die ooptes van die Vrystaat en, daarmee saam, bekostigbare blyplek. Speursersant JP Hendriks, aan wie sy deesdae rapporteer, toon boonop nie ’n greintjie simpatie nie.

Een Vrydagoggend in Desember vang ’n vakansieganger met sy hommeltuig se kamera ’n afgryslike toneel vas. Tussen die voetstukke van ’n geroeste windpomp in ’n afgeleë stuk veld wat grens aan ’n staproete, lê ’n bebloede bondeltjie mens. Minder as 24 uur later word ’n foto van nóg ’n slagoffer iewers in ’n stegie van die onderdorp soos ’n veldbrand op sosiale media versprei.

Wat het Die Clowns, ’n Russiese skeepskaptein en die matriarg van die vooraanstaande Heemstra-familie se testament gemeen? En waar kom die albaster wat in die eerste slagoffer se hand vasgeknyp is, vandaan?

Petunia en JP bevind hulself oornag as die hoofondersoekers in ’n duistere moordsaak.

Born in 1917 in Bizana in the Eastern Cape, Oliver Reginald Tambo became Nelson Mandela's legal partner and a prominent member of the ANC's Youth League.

Following the Sharpeville massacre in 1960, Tambo left South Africa to set up the ANC's international mission. As President of the ANC in exile, he led the fight against apartheid on both the diplomatic and military fronts. He died in 1993 on the eve of liberation. Tambo had a profound influence on the ANC during the difficult years of uncertainty, loneliness and homesickness in exile. His simplicity, his nurturing style, his genuine respect for all people seemed to bring out the best in them.

This is the story of one of South Africa's great sons - 'the most loved leader', the Moses who led his people to the promised land but did not live to enter it.

This selection, which was made by Eliot himself, is intended as an introduction to the main body of his poetry prior to Four Quartets, which is available separately in Faber Paperbacks. The selection includes the whole of The Waste Land.

From longstanding political columnist and commentator Daniel Finkelstein, a powerful memoir exploring both his mother and his father’s devastating experiences of persecution, resistance and survival during the Second World War.

Daniel’s mother Mirjam Wiener was the youngest of three daughters born in Germany to Alfred and Margarete Wiener. Alfred, a decorated hero from the Great War, is now widely acknowledged to have been the first person to recognise the existential danger Hitler posed to the Jews and began, in 1933, to catalogue in detail Nazi crimes. After moving his family to Amsterdam, he relocated his library to London and was preparing to bring over his wife and children when Germany invaded the Netherlands. Before long, the family was rounded up, robbed and sent to starve in Bergen-Belsen.

Daniel’s father Ludwik was born in Lwów, the only child of a prosperous Jewish family. In 1939, after Hitler and Stalin carved up Poland, Ludwik’s father was arrested and sentenced to hard labour in the Gulag. Meanwhile, deported to Siberia and working as a slave labourer on a collective farm, Ludwik survived the freezing winters in a tiny house he built from cow dung.

Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad is a deeply moving, personal and at times horrifying memoir about Finkelstein’s parents’ experiences at the hands of the two genocidal dictators of the twentieth century. It is a story of persecution; survival; and the consequences of totalitarianism told with the almost unimaginable bravery of two ordinary families shining through.
