'Mongolia looked like God's preliminary sketch for Earth, not so much a country as the ingredients out of which a country is made – grass, rock, water and wind… The only signs of habitation were the occasional encampments of round white tents.'

In this remarkable book Stanley Stewart sets off across the old Mongolian Empire, from Istanbul to the distant homeland of the Mongol Hordes. The heart of his odyssey is a thousand-mile ride, travelling by horse among nomads for whom travel is a way of life, through a trackless land governed by winds and patterns of migration. On a journey full of bizarre characters and unexpected encounters, he crosses the desert and mountains of Central Asia, battles through the High Altay and the fringes of the Gobi, to the wind-swept grasslands of the steppes and the birthplace of Genghis Khan.

Vivid, hilarious and compelling this eagerly-awaited book will take its place among travel classics – a thrilling tale of adventure and an evocative portrait of a medieval land marooned in the modern world.

"Nietzsche's Case" combines the multiple perspectives of Bernd Magnus, a philosopher and Nietzsche scholar, Jean-Pierre Mileur, a critical theorist/Romanticist, and Stanley Stewart, a Renaissance literary scholar. Conceptually, it occupies the interface of philosophy and literature. Nietzsche's texts are brought into dialogue with the New Testament and texts by Sidney, Bacon, Spenser, Milton, Shakespeare, Browning, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Blake, Carlyle and Lawrence, as well as with the standard texts of the philosophical and critical traditions from Plato to Derrida. Nietzsche claimed that every great event constitutes "the personal confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious memoir". Magnus, Mileur and Stewart reveal the greatness of Nietzsche's philosophical achievement and at the same time unravel the unconscious and involuntary memoir it constitutes. "Nietzsche's Case" points beyond the philosopher's brief to the objects the brief interrogates - traditional religion, philosophy, and morality. It also examines the case Nietzsche himself is, interrogating the proper name "Nietzsche".

Ben Jonson is, in many ways, the figure of greatest centrality to literary study of the Elizabethan and Jacobean period. He wrote in virtually every literary genre: in drama, comedy, tragedy and masque; in poetry, epigram, and lyric; in prose, literary criticism and English grammar. This Companion brings together leading scholars from both sides of the Atlantic to provide an accessible, up-to-date introduction to Jonson's life and works. It represents an invaluable guide to current critical perspectives, providing generous coverage not only of his plays but also his non dramatic works.

The heart of his odyssey is a thousand-mile ride, traveling by horse, through trackless land.
On a journey full of bizarre characters and unexpected encounters, he crosses the desert and mountains of central Asia to arrive at the windswept grasslands of the steppes, the birthplace of Genghis Khan.
