This legendary book has been universally hailed as the best, the
most readable and the most provocative account of modern art ever
written. Through each of the thematic chapters Hughes keeps his
story grounded in the history of the 20th century, demonstrating
how modernism sought to describe the experience of that era and
showing how for many key art movements this was a task of vital
importance. The way in which Hughes brings that vitality and
immediacy back through the well-chosen example and well-turned
phrase is the heart of this book's success.

Popular young adult books such as The Hunger Games and Divergent,
as well as literary classics such as Walker Percy's Love in the
Ruins and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, have created a growing
interest in dystopian novels. In one of the first such novels of
the twentieth century, Benson imagines a world where belief in God
has been replaced by secular humanism. In this harrowing novel,
apocalyptic conflict looms as Julian Falsenburg arises as leader of
the world, promising peace in exchange for blind obedience. Those
who resist are subject to torture and execution. As the Catholic
Church in England rapidly disintegrates, Rev. Percy Franklin is
left to provide hope and stability.

In Confessions of a Convert, Robert Hugh Benson shares his
spiritual journey from being an Anglican and son of the archbishop
of Canterbury to becoming a Roman Catholic priest. Through his
humble, honest, and memorable story, Benson invites us -- in this
republished classic -- to think about what it means to wrestle with
the deep questions of our Catholic faith while rejoicing in the
power of their universal truths. Benson weaves the challenges of
his conversion into the narrative as he examines his own life for
the signs and wonders that illuminated his way. He was astonished
at how the remote God of his Anglican upbringing drew close to him,
igniting a fire in his to heart and a desire to know God on a
deeper level. This transformation led him to the doorstep of the
Catholic Church. Reluctant to venture further because he was known
as an important figure in the Anglican world, Benson grappled with
the sacrifices he would make, including the loss of his vocation,
family, and friends. After the death of his father, Benson finally
embraced the nearness of God found in the Eucharist.

A dazzling biography of the Eternal City - 'A tour of the great
city with a great guide: who could do this better?' EVENING
STANDARD. For almost a thousand years, Rome held sway as the
spiritual and artistic centre of the world. Hughes vividly
recreates the ancient Rome of Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, Nero,
Caligula, Cicero, Martial and Virgil. With the artistic blossoming
of the Renaissance, he casts his unwavering critical eye over the
great works of Raphael, Michelangelo and Brunelleschi, shedding new
light on the Old Masters. In the seventeenth, eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, when Rome's cultural predominance was
assured, artists and tourists from all over Europe converged on the
city. Hughes brilliantly analyses the defining works of Caravaggio,
Velasquez, Rubens and Bernini. Hughes' Rome is a vibrant,
contradictory, spectacular and secretive place; a monument both to
human glory and human error. In equal parts loving, iconoclastic,
enraged and wise, peopled with colourful figures and rich in
unexpected details, ROME is an exhilarating journey through the
story of one of the world's most glorious cities.
This visionary dystopian and apocalyptic novel of 1907 presents a
future in which secular humanism has triumphed, with religion
suppressed and almost non-existent. It follows the fortunes of an
M.P. and his wife, who come under the sway of the antichrist
figure, the titular Lord of the World, who appears to promise a
heaven on earth, and a catholic priest, who is fighting to keep the
Church alive through its many tribulations. It is highly readable
and seems prescient on many counts - the rise of communist states,
the advent of air travel and the dominating power of a forceful
leader - but its strong Catholic bias has tended to limit its
readership. This handsome new edition has been completely
re-typeset to be clear and complete.

Osip Mandelstam visited Armenia in 1930, and during the eight
months of his stay he rediscovered his poetic voice and was
inspired to write an experimental meditation on the country and its
ancient culture. 'Armenia brought him back to his true self, a self
depending on the "inner ear" which could never play a poet false.
There was everything congenial to him in this country of red and
ochre landscape, ancient churches, and resonant pottery.' (Henry
Gifford). Conversation about Dante, Mandelstam's incomparable
apologia for poetic freedom and challenge to the Bolshevik
establishment, was dictated by the poet to his wife, Nadezhda
Mandelstam, in 1934-35, during the last phase of his itinerant
life. It has close ties to the Journey.

An epic description of the brutal transportation of men, women and children out of Georgian Britain into a horrific penal system which was to be the precursor to the Gulag and was the origin of Australia. The Fatal Shore is the prize-winning, scholarly, brilliantly entertaining narrative that has given its true history to Australia.
