Recommends Wedlock
Wedlock reads like a crime story, an absolute page-turner.

Recommends Marie Antoinette
What has stuck with me is that Zweig’s Marie Antoinette is a human being, rather than a distant figure in a palace who eventually has her head chopped off.

My two favourite group biographies are Jenny Uglow’s Lunar Men and Richard Holmes’ The Age of Wonder.

Recommends Founding Brothers
Ellis wrote this quite small book, Founding Brothers, for which he won the Pulitzer, I think.

Recommends The Arcadian Friends
For me The Arcadian Friends is a brilliant book because Richardson does two things.

Recommends Landscape & Memory
Books like Landscape & Memory came after I got interested but it was a book which expressed in black and white the hunch I had: it was there, laid out so beautifully, because Simon Schama has this talent for taking little stories and placing them in a broad context.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
