Generation Desperation
£20.00In 2020, Alexander Hurst was 29 years old and broke, living as a writer in a cramped Paris flat-share. There were murmurs that a global pandemic was coming. Financial stability seemed unattainable, so far removed from his reality – the reality of the generation who came of age during the 2008 financial crisis. On a whim, he poured his meagre savings into highly risky options trading. Within a year this small set of stocks was worth $1.2 million. It was more money than Alexander – and his family – could ever have conceived of, set to turn his life on its head. And then, soon after, it was gone. He had lost it all. In exploring Alexander’s remarkable rise and fall from wealth, ‘Generation Desperation’ grapples with the vital questions of our age: what do class and status mean in a late-stage capitalist society?

Baltic
£12.99The Baltic’s time has come. It is not only critical to Europe’s security and increasingly a centre of political and military power in its own right; it is a reservoir of ideas and experiences that could shape the continent’s future. The Baltic offers by far the most successful examples of the reintegration of Europe’s old capitalist and communist blocs. It abounds in pioneering environmental initiatives, ranging from the world’s first geological ‘forever’ storage facility for nuclear waste in Finland to its first ‘zero waste’ community, on the Danish island of Bornholm. Brutalised by the twentieth century, the rebounding economies of Poland, Finland and Estonia are case studies in the mobilisation of social resources and the transformative power of technology. This book explores the history, their culture, their peculiarities and national dilemmas of all nine Baltic countries.

Dead and Alive
£22.00In this keenly awaited new collection, Zadie Smith brings her unique skills as an essayist to bear on a range of subjects which have captured her attention in recent years.

She invites us along to the movies, to see and to think about Tar, and to Glastonbury to witness the ascendance of Stormzy. She asks us to look again at the young Michael Jackson and to mourn with her the passing of writers Joan Didion, Martin Amis, Hilary Mantel, Philip Roth and Toni Morrison. And she shows us once again her unrivalled ability to think through critically and humanely some of the most urgent preoccupations and tendencies of our troubled times.
