    The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest. 
The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise. 
The History of the American Revolution chronicles the momentous events before and during the American Revolution, from the beginning of the troubles with Britain in 1764 to the successful conclusion of the Revolution in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. It comprehensively covers the important battles and the political and military roles played by American legends like Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and more.

    'Books are the mirrors of the soul.'

The follow up to her enlightening collection of essays which advocate reading for pleasure's sake, The Common Reader: Second Series delves even deeper into the delights literature has to offer, told with Woolf's trademark thoughtfulness and flair.

Published seven years after the first instalment, The Common Reader: Second Series explores the works of Thomas Hardy, Laurence Stern and George Eliot, elegantly dissecting the art of the biography and the very nature of reading itself. Again Woolf speaks from the perspective of the everyday reader, urging for an intuitive and curious approach to literature – one which allows for freedom and experimentation as opposed to academic rigour. Timeless in its advice and a testament to Woolf's appreciation of the written word, the lessons and ideas in this illuminating collection of essays resonates deeply still today. This audiobook edition is beautifully narrated by Kristin Atherton.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
