scott’s last expedition the Journals of captain R. F. scott

More than a century on from Captain Scott’s ill-fated 1911 expedition to the South Pole, the tale of endurance and self-sacrifice recorded in his journal remains a testament to the heroism of his enterprise. Scott’s journal, found on his body eight months after his death, retains the power to move us. This complete edition includes J. M. Barrie’s introduction from the 1914 edition and over 80 photographs, most by the expediton photographer Herbert Ponting, sourced from the Scott Polar Research Institute.

the selfish giant and other stories oscar wilde Novelist, playwright and satirist Oscar Wilde was also an incomparable teller of fairy tales. In these stories written for his two sons, he takes the elements of faerie since time immemorial – giants and princes, fishermen and mermaids – and creates enchanting, heartfelt fables that rank among his best-loved works.

Award-winning author Jeanette Winterson has contributed a new introduction, placing these stories at the heart of Wilde’s career.

Introducing this edition, Patti Smith, the singer-songwriter and poet, sums up Emily Brontë’s complex gifts: ‘Her untied mind did not create a neat package. In the writing of Wuthering Heights she did not give what was wanted; she gave what she had.’

the bhagavad gitaA prince stands on a battlefield between two armies. He has relatives and friends in both. Gripped by despair, Prince Arjuna is ready to accept death until his charioteer, the god Krishna, provides enlightenment. Written around 2,000 years ago, The Bhagavad Gita is part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, but stands alone as a cornerstone of the Hindu faith and a beautiful work of Sanskrit poetry.

This edition uses the translation by Juan Mascaró, acclaimed for its deeply sympathetic portrayal of the lyricism of the original. Anna Bhushan has created a series of vibrant illustrations integrated within the text.

The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 was one of the greatest sensations of the century.

This magnificent edition of Carter’s own eyewitness account features an entire volume dedicated to magnificent colour photography of Tutankhamun’s treasures taken by Sandro Vannini, who was granted exclusive access to them in the Cairo Museum. The binding design is by Peter Suart.
