Summary

The "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1666 N.S" is a remarkable firsthand account of life during a pivotal period in British history, chronicling the tumultuous events of the Great Fire of London and the Second Dutch War. Written in a candid, conversational style, Pepys's diary reveals not just the unfolding historical narrative but also his personal reflections, social observations, and engagements with the political landscape. Pepys's keen attention to detail and his ability to convey the immediacy of his experiences echo the emerging modern sensibilities of the 17th century, offering readers insights not only into his own psyche but also into the intricacies of Restoration society and its cultural milieu. This particular volume captures the essence of a year marked by disaster and resilience, serving as a rich historical document that complements academic inquiries into this transformative era. Samuel Pepys, a London-based civil servant and naval administrator, is renowned for his insightful commentary and meticulous record-keeping. His experiences navigating the cataclysmic events of 1666—including the Great Fire, which devastated the city—provide a backdrop for the development of his thoughts on governance, society, and the human condition. Pepys's diary is not only a historical artifact but also a reflection of his ambitions and personal challenges, underscoring the duality of public duty and private life. This edition is essential for readers fascinated by history, literature, and the evolution of personal narrative. Pepys's eloquent prose and vivid descriptions invite readers to immerse themselves in the daily realities of 17th-century England. For historians, literary scholars, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of personal experience and historical context, Pepys's diary presents a compelling portrait of resilience and the human spirit amidst the chaos of change.

    "Fear and Trembling" is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard that explores faith through the lens of Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac. The title itself comes from a Bible verse about approaching God with both reverence and apprehension. Kierkegaard delves into the paradox of Abraham's situation: being commanded by God to do something morally horrific yet acting with complete faith. It's a meditation on the nature of faith, obedience, and the boundaries of human understanding.

  • The Heavy Water War - Beating Hitler to the Bomb - cover

    The Heavy Water War - Beating...

    During the course of the Second World War, the Allies mounted a series of attempts to prevent Germany from manufacturing heavy water utilising hydroelectric plants in occupied Norway. These efforts comprised a mix of bomber and Commando raids. The overall aim was to stop Nazi Germany building a nuclear bomb. In fact, Hitler was never as close as the Allies thought, but the idea that his regime could construct and deploy such a device was the ultimate doomsday scenario, one that would have tilted the balance in favour of the Nazis. The mere threat might have been sufficient to force a negotiated peace with the perception of a Nazi bomb hanging over the world like a nuclear-powered sword of Damocles. 
 
Production, and therefore the Allied target, centred on the Vemork Power Station standing by the Rjukan Waterfall at Telemark. A series of daring raids – Operations Grouse, Freshman and Gunnerside – neutralised the plant’s capacity. In Operation Freshman, every single glider-borne paratrooper was either captured or killed. In February 1943, a force of SOE-trained Norwegian Commandos succeeded in sabotaging the plant’s production capacity. Further manufacturing effort was abandoned, and the Nazis attempted to spirit away the heavy water they had on the ferry SF Hydro. The Norwegians managed to sink the vessel in the deep waters of Lake Tinn. Using primary source material and published on the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the Hydro, The Heavy Water War tells a story of extraordinary courage and endurance. The stakes in any special forces raid in history have never been higher.
