Summary

The Reservation was the nickname coined by some of the local inhabitants of a sprawling council estate in the south of England, not because of the green space that surrounded it, but more the variety of human animals that were growing up there at the time. This astonishingly candid memoir reveals Martin Montague's underclass life of his childhood and an extraordinary array of characters that he grew up with. This coming of age book really paints a picture of countless scrapes and the often unbelievable situations they found themselves in as they grew up experimenting with pints of vile home-made gut wrench, spliffs and their longing to be part of the rave scene. Forget Shameless, in The Reservation fact is even funnier than fiction. Rave on…

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
