Summary

What if the perfect society existed—and what would it look like?
Utopia is not just a place. It's a powerful idea that has challenged minds for over 500 years.

First published in 1516, Sir Thomas More's Utopia presents a fictional dialogue about an ideal island society governed by reason, equality, and harmony. Through the eyes of a fictional traveler, Raphael Hythloday, More critiques the injustices of European society and proposes radical alternatives: communal ownership, religious tolerance, and a justice system rooted in rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Both political satire and profound social critique, Utopia remains shockingly relevant today. Whether read as a serious blueprint or a biting commentary, this Renaissance classic laid the foundation for centuries of political thought, from socialism and anarchism to modern democratic ideals.

"A timeless vision that still speaks to the conscience of modern society." — The Guardian
"One of the earliest and most enduring works of political philosophy." — Harvard Classics
"Essential reading for thinkers, dreamers, and reformers." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for lovers of philosophy, politics, literature, and critical theory, this edition offers a gateway into the origins of one of humanity's most enduring questions: How can we build a better world?

    The Founding Emperors of Rome laid the groundwork for the Roman Empire, marking a shift from the Roman Republic to imperial rule. Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula stand as the pivotal figures in this transformation, each shaping the empire in distinct ways. 
    Augustus, born Gaius Octavius, was the first emperor and one of the most successful leaders in Roman history. His reign, from 27 BCE to 14 CE, ushered in the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and prosperity. Augustus was not only a military genius but also a skilled politician who effectively consolidated power. By presenting himself as the restorer of the Roman Republic, he maintained a delicate balance between autocratic rule and the preservation of traditional republican institutions. Augustus implemented numerous reforms, including the establishment of a professional standing army and a system of taxation that stabilized the empire’s finances. His legacy is marked by the expansion of Roman territory and the establishment of Rome as the center of the ancient world. 
    Following Augustus, his stepson Tiberius became emperor in 14 CE. Tiberius' reign is often seen as a contrast to Augustus. While Augustus sought to maintain the image of republican values, Tiberius became increasingly reclusive and suspicious, particularly in the later years of his reign. His reign was marked by significant military achievements, including the consolidation of Rome’s frontiers in Germania and the Balkans, but his reign was also tainted by political purges and a growing atmosphere of distrust. Tiberius left the throne to his adopted son Caligula, but the political instability and paranoia of his reign would have lasting consequences on the empire.

    The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war. 
     
    This is the fascinating story of how the code was created, adopted by the Nazis, and finally broken. Dermot Turing, the nephew of the great codebreaker Alan Turing, explores the twists and turns of German encryption efforts from the end of World War I through to Hitler's demise and the great lengths to which the Allies went to break it. 
     
    The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II. 
     
    This extraordinary tale of intrigue, ingenuity and courage brings to life the complete story of the Enigma in a lively and entertaining narrative.
