Éric Vuillard’s gripping novel The Order of the Day tells the story of the pivotal meetings which took between the European powers in the run up to World War Two. What emerges is a fascinating and incredibly moving account of failed diplomacy, broken relationships and the catastrophic momentum which led to conflict.

The history of inequality is a long and terrible one. And it’s not over yet. Short, sharp and devastating, The War of the Poor tells the story of a brutal episode from history, not as well known as tales of other popular uprisings, but one that deserves to be told.

Martin Harris returns home after a short absence to find that his wife doesn’t know him, another man is living in his house under his name, and the neighbors think he’s a raving lunatic. Worse, not a single person - family, colleague, or doctor - can vouch for him. Worse still, the impostor shares all of Martin’s memories, experiences, and knowledge, down to the last detail. He is, in fact, a more convincing Martin than Martin himself.

"Highway 61 Revisited" gavs ut 1965 och blev en av Bob Dylans mest betydelsefulla skivor. Skivan innehåller bland annat flera klassiska låtar som Dylan även idag framför på sina konserter, exempelvis "Like A Rolling Stone" och "Desolation Row". Den sistnämnda låten handlar om den amerikanska drömmen och hur den på endast tio verser kan förvandlas till den amerikanska mardrömmen.
