  '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.

  Who was Nietzsche? What did he think? What was his journey, from his youth to his maturity?
  If we had to describe Nietzsche's philosophy, we would call it the philosophy of joy. Contrary to the clichés that weigh on his name, Nietzsche is the philosopher of creativity and life. From an aesthetic point of view, he revolutionized the theory of form. From the point of view of the theory of knowledge, he introduced creativity into the heart of the processes of knowledge. And from the point of view of the theory of being, he revived the movement of reality. 
  Nietzsche developed a true philosophical system, perspectivism, which is open, dynamic and fertile. These are assets that make Nietzsche's thinking all the more fundamental and relevant.

  Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

  Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument 
   
   
   
  Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. 
   
   
   
  Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the US. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world—as a father, a son, a musician—he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins.
