Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis triggered abolitionist
shockwaves. Calls to defund the police found receptive ears around
the world. Shortly after, Sarah Everard's murder by a serving
police officer sparked a national abolitionist movement in Britain.
But to abolish the police, prisons and borders, we must confront
the legacy of Empire. Abolition Revolution is a guide to
abolitionist politics in Britain, drawing out rich histories of
resistance from rebellion in the colonies to grassroots responses
to carceral systems today. The authors argue that abolition is key
to reconceptualising revolution for our times - linking it with
materialist feminisms, anti-capitalist class struggle,
internationalist solidarity and anti-colonialism. Perfect for
reading groups and activist meetings, this is an invaluable book
for those new to abolitionist politics - whilst simultaneously
telling a passionate and authoritative story about the need for
abolition and revolution in Britain and globally.

For well over two hundred years, Joseph Haydn has been by turns
lionized and misrepresented - held up as celebrity, and disparaged
as mere forerunner or point of comparison. And yet, unlike many
other canonic composers, his music has remained a fixture in the
repertoire from his day until ours. What do we need to know now in
order to understand Haydn and his music? With over eighty entries
focused on ideas and seven longer thematic essays to bring these
together, this distinctive and richly illustrated encyclopedia
offers a new perspective on Haydn and the many cultural contexts in
which he worked and left his indelible mark during the
Enlightenment and beyond. Contributions from sixty-seven scholars
and performers in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, capture the
vitality of Haydn studies today - its variety of perspectives and
methods - and ultimately inspire further exploration of one of
western music's most innovative and influential composers.
Reader, she married him. But not before a LOT of discussion of his
behaviour in the group chat. With courage, determination and logged
into her social media accounts - plain Jane Eyre is ready to take
on the world. But then she meets and begins to fall for Edward
Rochester, AKA the definition of a red flag, with screenshots to
prove it. When authors Claire McGowan and Sarah Day imagined how
'Pride and Prejudice on Social Media' might look, retelling the
story through mocked-up social media posts, their post instantly
went viral. Now, they return with a Bronte classic told through
highs and lows of social media . . . Perfect for fans of Charlotte
BrontĂŤ . . .
Elizabeth Bennet has politely declined your friend request and asks
that you do not slide into her DMs again. It is a truth universally
acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune,
will probably be verified on social media. The characters of Pride
and Prejudice are navigating the same struggles on unfamiliar
channels - social media channels, to be precise. When authors
Claire McGowan and Sarah Day imagined how 'Pride and Prejudice on
Social Media' might look, retelling the story through mocked-up
social media posts, their post instantly went viral. Have you ever
wondered what Austen's most famous couple might be like if it
played out online? Well, here is the story in full . . . Perfect
for fans of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy . . .

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BETTY TRASK AWARD SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA DEBUT
CROWN LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI FIRST NOVEL PRIZE Sarah Day's
MUSSOLINI'S ISLAND is a novel of sexuality and desire, of hidden
passions and the secrets we keep locked within us. Based on the
true story of the rounding up of a group of Sicilian gay men in
1939, this book is sure to appeal to readers of the Elena Ferrante
novels, Anthony Doerr's ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE or Virginia
Baily's EARLY ONE MORNING. 'A fascinating debut...the setting and
characters are strong and the story is written with verve. Day is a
talent to watch' - The Times Francesco has a memory of his father
from early childhood, a night when life for his family changed.
From that night, he has vowed to protect his mother and to follow
the words of his father: Non mollare. Never give up. As Francesco
is herded into a camp on the island of San Domino, he realises that
someone must have handed a list of names to the fascist police.
Locked in spartan dormitories, resentment and bitterness between
the men grows each day. Elena, an illiterate island girl, is drawn
to the handsome Francesco. Sometimes, she is given a message to
pass on. She's not sure who they are from; she knows simply that
Francesco is hiding something. When Elena discovers the truth about
the group of prisoners, the fine line between love and hate pulls
her towards an act that can only have terrible consequences for
all.
