About the book

Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote follows an ageing gentleman who becomes so obsessed with tales of medieval chivalry that he decides to become a knight-errant himself. Accompanied by the practical Sancho Panza, Don Quixote travels through Spain interpreting ordinary people and situations as heroic adventures. Comic, moving and extraordinarily influential, the novel explores imagination, idealism, reality and the power of stories to reshape the way people understand the world. The Guns of August Barbara W. Tuchman's The Guns of August is a celebrated history of the opening weeks of the First World War. The book traces the diplomatic decisions, military plans and personalities that brought the major European powers into conflict in 1914. Tuchman combines detailed research with vivid narrative, showing how assumptions, rivalries and miscalculations turned a political crisis into a devastating continental war.
