  • Fifth Sun
    Fifth Sun
    Townsend, Camilla
    In November 1519, Hernando Cortés walked along a causeway leading to the capital of the Aztec kingdom and came face to face with Moctezuma. That story-and the story of what happened afterwards-has been told many times, but always following the narrative offered by the Spaniards. After all, we have been taught, it was the Europeans who held the pens. But the Native Americans wer...

    Love Songs
    Gioia, Ted
    The love song is timeless. From its beginnings, it has been shaped by bohemians and renegades, slaves and oppressed minorities, prostitutes, immigrants and other excluded groups.

And how have our changing perceptions about topics such as sexuality and gender roles changed our attitudes towa...

    Kipling, Rudyard
    'Hear and attend and listen...'Rudyard Kipling is a supreme master of the short story in English and a poet of brilliant gifts.

  • Anna Karenina
    Anna Karenina
    Tolstoy, Leo

The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played out alongside the developing romance of Kitty and Levi...
