Sinossi

In "From October to Brest-Litovsk," Leon Trotsky presents a comprehensive account of the tumultuous period following the October Revolution of 1917 up to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. Written with incisive clarity, this seminal work interweaves personal narrative with political analysis, offering a rich tapestry of events that shaped early Soviet Russia. Trotsky's literary style is characterized by its vigorous rhetoric and deep ideological commitment, effectively immersing the reader in the revolutionary fervor of the time, while also critiquing the internal and external threats to the nascent Bolshevik regime. The work serves as both a historical document and a persuasive argument for the revolutionary principles he espoused, situated firmly within the context of Marxist theory and the global struggle for proletarian empowerment. Leon Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a prominent Marxist theorist, wrote this book during his exile from political power following a power struggle within the Communist Party. His firsthand experience as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and his pivotal role in negotiating peace with the Central Powers deeply informed his perspective on the intricacies of revolution and diplomacy. Trotsky's advocacy for permanent revolution and his analysis of historical materialism manifest in this narrative, reflecting both his political ideologies and his disillusionment with factionalism within the Soviet leadership. "From October to Brest-Litovsk" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the Russian Revolution, negotiating peace amid conflict, and the foundational elements of Bolshevik principles. Trotsky'Äôs insights are as relevant today as ever, making this work not only a historical account but also a critical commentary on the struggle for revolutionary change. This book will enrich the reader's understanding of revolutionary dynamics and the political landscape of the early 20th century.

    ‘A persuasive manifesto for a better Britain.’ Observer Book of the Day 
    Britain needs a fresh start. This timely book by one of the stars of the new government shows how to achieve it. 
    In this brilliant and accessible intervention, Lisa Nandy reveals how Britain can leave behind the mess in which we find ourselves. All In charts a course towards a fairer, more equal, more prosperous country by drawing on the greatest asset we have – each other. 
    Rapid global changes, political division and economic crisis have left Britain reeling. For decades, large swathes of the country have been shut out, condemned to low productivity, underinvestment and managed decline, and stripped of their voice. With most major cities now beset with high housing costs, air pollution and congestion, even the ‘winners’ are losing. 
    All In shows how, by handing power and resources to people with a stake in the outcome, Britain can draw on the talent, assets and potential in every part of the country and start firing on all cylinders again. Finding strength rather than fear in our differences, it reimagines the relationship between people and government so that all of us can play our part in meeting the challenges of our age and rebuilding Britain the only way that works – together. 
    Lucid, clear-eyed and hopeful, this book sets out how we restore values, energy and direction to our politics and offers a glimpse of the alternative future that remains within our grasp. 
    Nandy's autobiography is a personal exploration of the process of political change, offering a best case scenario for a united, prosperous Britain. Drawing on history and economics, she presents a compelling vision for the 21st century.

    Two of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin's expeditions were monumental failures. Yet many still see the Royal Navy man as a heroic figure who sacrificed himself to discover the Northwest Passage. 
     
     
     
    This book interweaves two narratives. The first treats the Royal Navy's Arctic Overland Expedition of 1819, a harbinger-misadventure during which Franklin rejected the advice of Dene and Métis leaders and lost eleven of his twenty-one men. The second discovers a startling new answer to that greatest of Arctic mysteries: what was the root cause of the catastrophe that engulfed Franklin's last expedition? 
     
     
     
    The well-preserved wrecks of Erebus and Terror promise to yield more clues about what cost the lives of the expedition members, some of whom were reduced to cannibalism. Contemporary researchers continue to seek conclusive evidence both underwater and on land. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on his own research and Inuit oral accounts, McGoogan teases out many intriguing aspects of Franklin's expeditions, including the explorer's lethal hubris in ignoring the expert advice of the Dene leader Akaitcho. Franklin disappeared into the Arctic in 1845, yet people remain fascinated with his final doomed voyage: what happened?
