| Description: |
A new translation and edition of this important and influential statement of Nietzsche's philosophy. |
| Synopsis: |
Nietzsche wrote The Gay Science, which he later described as 'perhaps my most personal book', when he was at the height of his intellectual powers, and the reader will find in it an extensive and sophisticated treatment of the philosophical themes and views which were most central to Nietzsche's own thought and which have been most influential on later thinkers. These include the death of God, the problem of nihilism, the role of truth, falsity and the will-to-truth in human life, the doctrine of the eternal recurrence, and the question of the proper attitude to adopt toward human suffering and toward human achievement. This volume presents the work in a new translation by Josefine Nauckhoff, with an introduction by Bernard Williams that elucidates the work's main themes and discusses their continuing philosophical importance. |

Parrot and Olivier in America
Olivier is a French aristocrat, the traumatized child of survivors of the Revolution; Parrot the son of an itinerant printer who always wanted to be an artist but has ended up a servant. Born on different sides of history, their lives will be brought together by their travels in America. Peter Carey explores the adventure of American democracy, in theory and in practice, with dazzling wit and inventiveness.

On the Brink
This is a fast-paced and dramatic re-telling of the financial crisis that nearly bought the developed world to its knees, from the former US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. As well as detailing the major decisions taken during the height of the crisis, Paulson puts forth the policies he believes need to be implemented to take us securely into the future.
