'With God's help, I, Bede ... have assembled these facts about the history of the Church in Britain ... from the traditions of our forebears, and from my own personal knowledge' Written in AD 731, Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People is the first account of Anglo-Saxon England ever written, and remains our single most valuable source for this period. It begins with Julius Caesar's invasion in the first century BC and goes on to tell of the kings and bishops, monks and nuns who helped to develop government and convert the people to Christianity during these crucial formative years. Relating the deeds of great men and women but also describing landscape, customs and ordinary lives, this is a rich, vivid portrait of an emerging church and nation by the 'Father of English History'. Leo Sherley-Price's translation from the Latin brings us an accurate and readable version of Bede's History. This edition includes Bede's Letter to Egbert, denouncing false monasteries; and The Death of Bede, an admirable eye-witness account by Cuthbert, monk and later Abbot of Jarrow, both translated by D. H. Farmer. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

A Novel

In the vein of Pam Jenoff and Kristen Harmel comes an epic historical novel of love and loss spanning postwar 1946 France when Israeli agents roamed the countryside to rescue hidden Jewish orphans to the 1969 daring escape of the Israeli boats of Cherbourg. In the early 1940s, as the horrors of the war close in on France, we meet Claudette Pelletier, talented seamstress and lover of romance novels. Born disabled and unable to walk to school, Claudette grew up illiterate until a kind Jewish peddler in her village taught her to read. Years later, as the Vichy government hunts the Jews, the peddler and his son Raphaël arrive at Claudette's home. She hides the father and son, and after a whirlwind and desperate romance between Claudette and Raphaël, he and his father are forced to flee, leaving a pregnant Claudette devastated. When the Nazis invade the Free Zone shortly after the birth of her child, Claudette is forced to make a heartbreaking choice and escapes to Spain, leaving her baby in the care of his nursemaid. By the time Claudette is able to return years later, he has disappeared. Unbeknownst to his anguished mother, the child has been rescued by Youth Aliya, a group of Israeli agents combing the French countryside in search of Jewish orphans. In 1969, twenty-year-old Israeli intelligence officer Sharon Bloomenthal, still grieving the loss of her boyfriend in a drowned military submarine, is recruited by naval officer Daniel Yarden to assist with the Cherbourg project. Upon learning that the officer's past in Youth Aliya is linked to that of her late mother, Sharon sets out to track Danny's extraordinary journey from his quaint French village to Israel--all the while hoping to learn more of her mother's identity and life.

Aldous Huxley

The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's vision of the future -- of a world utterly transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Huxley's most enduring masterpiece. Following Brave New World is the nonfiction work Brave New World Revisited, first published in 1958. It is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with the prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World, including threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.
