Revisado: 10-11-23
Extremely powerful and important information and analysis. Outlines the major issue of inequality in the world, and all the devastating issues that spiral out of it. At the same time provides concrete steps that can be taken to redress the damaging effects of inequality, and to build toward a better future. Written accessibly and narrated beautifully, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 200
What does a middle-class democracy look like when it comes apart? When, after 40 years of economic triumph, America’s winners persuade themselves that they owe nothing to the rest of the country? Rendezvous with Oblivion is a collection of interlocking essays examining how inequality has manifested itself in our cities, in our jobs, in the way we travel - and of course in our politics, where in 2016, millions of anxious ordinary people rallied to the presidential campaign of a billionaire who meant them no good.

Political wisdom
Revisado: 10-06-20
Thomas Frank, arguably the best commentator on American politics, shows what has gone wrong and what needs to be done. Full of wisdom and insight. I cannot recommend this book too highly.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 237
This is the story of one man's battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment, Kurt Eichenwald provides a deeply candid account of his years facing this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition. He details his encounters with the doctors whose negligence could have killed him, but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the family and friends who fought for him.

A great moving book
Revisado: 06-01-19
This is a great book, powerful, moving, sad, wonderful. I strongly recommend it. It is a story of courage and fortitude in the face of great stupidity, overconfidence and injustice.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 209
Psmith and his friend Mike are sent by their fathers to work in the City. But work is the last thing on Psmith's mind; surely there are more interesting things to do with the day than spend it in a bank? Unfortunately the natives aren't conducive to his socialising within work hours, but all's fair in love and work as the monocled Old Etonian, with a little grudging help from Mike, begins to rope in allies in order to reform the bank manager and make him A Decent Member of Society.

Among the very best
Revisado: 11-02-15
Beautifully read. Among the funniest of Wodehouse's vast treasure trove. Mischief from start to finish.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 77
The usual suspects, including Lord Emsworth and his prize pig, the Empress, line up at Blandings Castle for a Wodehousian caper that sees members of the upper-classes getting hot and bothered over a nude painting they all want to get their hands on. This is wit at its very finest, read by one of our superlative actors, who reads Wodehouse with the requisite style and panache.

Churchill's history of the Second World War is, and will remain, the definitive work. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction.

Milestones to Disaster
Revisado: 10-01-10
This is a magnificent book, describing the many errors made by the British government (and to a lesser extent its allies) in the period after the Treaty of Versailles to Churchill's becoming prime minister in April 1940, at the time of the invasion of Holland and Belgium. It tells in detail the many decisions taken in the 1930s that served to strengthen Hitler's regime and military preparedness and weakened British military capacity to respond. It is marvellously read, a grim subject made exciting and inspiring.
