ANNE-MARIE EDDÉ
Translated by
Jane Marie Todd
Saladin represents the best
kind of biography—a portrait of a man who is said to
have made an age, and the
most complete account we
have to date of an age that
made the man
...
“This fastidious and superbly well researched
book is, in some ways, the biography of an idea
...
”
—SAM LEITH, SPECTATOR
“In this insightful biography, the Muslim
hero who impressed even his Christian adversaries personifies the complex religious and
cultural dynamics of the crusading era…Eddé’s
shrewd and informative, if stolid, biography
shows us how much two clashing civilizations
had in common
...
The result of that exacting and rigorous undertaking is at once accessible to the nonspecialist and compelling, allowing us to
rediscover a Saladin richer and more complex
than his Western or Eastern legend

—JOHN CASSIDY,
NEW YORKER
“This very readable book makes the actual historical Keynes and his ideas accessible to modern readers, whose views are so often formed by
misleading myths about him, his work, and its
significance
...
Backhouse and Bateman more
than keep up, not by competing with Keynes,
but by letting him speak, in all his many voices
...
Lucid and nontechnical,
it explains how, because Keynes was such a different kind of economist—eclectic, practical
rather than formalistic, worldly, intuitive—from
the formalistic academic economists of the next
generation, who came to dominate the economics profession, he was misunderstood by his successors
...
Backhouse and Bateman explain that
to cope with our current economic problems, we
need to restore Keynes’s original vision

Aldo Schiavone, a world-renowned classicist, reconstructs this development with cleareyed passion, following its course over the centuries, setting out from the earliest origins and moving up
to the threshold of Late Antiquity

LIU XIAOBO
Edited by Perry Link, Tienchi Martin-Liao, and Liu Xia
Foreword by Vaclav Havel
★
A Wall Street Journal Best Nonfiction Book of the Year
“Liu, the 2010 Nobel Peace laureate currently imprisoned in China for ‘incitement to subvert state power,’ registers wide-ranging dissent against the Chinese
system in these withering essays and stark poems…Included are manifestos and
trial statements denouncing China’s dictatorship and calling for human rights,
free speech, and democracy…Though personal and idiosyncratic at times, Liu’s
ringing universalist defense of democratic rights and freedoms will resonate with
American readers
