Summary

"De Tribus Impostoribus," written circa A.D. 1230, is a profound treatise that interrogates the foundations of religious authority by critically examining the lives of three pivotal figures: Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. This satirical and controversial text employs a polemical literary style, blending philosophical inquiry with rhetorical flourish to challenge established religious doctrines. Set against the backdrop of medieval scholasticism and emergent humanism, it captures a pivotal moment in intellectual history where faith and reason began to clash. Through its incisive analysis, the work questions the veracity of divine revelation and the moral implications of blind faith, contributing significantly to debates on rationalism and religious skepticism in the Middle Ages. Attributed to various authors over time, "De Tribus Impostoribus" reflects the anxieties and transformative ideas of the 13th century, a period marked by rapid socio-political change and the rise of dissenting voices against ecclesiastical authority. These influences likely shaped the authorial intent, motivating a critique of religious orthodoxy and advocating for a deeper engagement with human reason and the empirical world. The text serves as a precursor to later Enlightenment thought, revealing the theological and philosophical undercurrents of its epoch. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and history. It invites readers to engage with a provocative discourse that remains relevant today in discussions surrounding faith, authority, and the quest for truth. Whether approached as a historical artifact or a philosophical challenge, "De Tribus Impostoribus" promises to stimulate critical reflection and dialogue.

When I started my own business as an adult, I attended a business training seminar with an exceptional speaker and coach. He was struggling with his voice due to the demands of his schedule and intense training diary. I grabbed him at tea time and gave him a few quick pointers about voice care, which made such an impact so quickly, it made me realise that many professional speakers may not have the same training as us singers, in how to care for their voices.

    The Times Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of the YearAn entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics from Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had.'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics. To pilot a better future, we need to learn how not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The book is a lesson in just that' – Will HuttonEvery few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word ‘unprecedented’ as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called. We have become so accustomed to turmoil that it is impossible to take a breath and see where we are headed. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the recent chaos into context and takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain.From the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher, Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.With his trademark insight, forged over several decades as one of the UK’s foremost political commentators, Richards blends anecdote and analysis to explore the biggest events in British political history. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.'An engaging canter through postwar Britain . . . shaped by a lifetime of reading' – Prospect

    The Last Train

    ‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein 
The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain. 
In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia. 
The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived. 
It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution. 
Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields? 
Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary? 
And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'? 
The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust. 
This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic. 
And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves? 
This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. 
For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).
