Description
?BookForum ?As an act of commemoration, as well as a sobering reminder of the world in which writers are frequently ? ?Monica Ali, author of Brick Lane ?This anthology is essential reading for anyone who has ever been moved by the written word. This means that not only do they have powerful stories to tell, but that when, thanks very often to the work of organizations like PEN, they are eventually allowed to tell them, the result is spare, powerful writing, which jolts and challenges our prejudices and assumptions.? ?Michael Palin, author of numerous travel books, including Around the World in 80 Days The freedom to write is under threat today throughout the world, with more than 1,000 writers, journalists, and publishers known to be imprisoned or persecuted in more than 100 countries. Collected here are fifty contributions by writers who have paid dearly for the privilege of writing. and Anna Politkovskaya, from Russia, the noted journalist and author who was murdered in 2006, shortly after writing the piece that appears in this collection. Prison, Death, Asylum, and The Freedom to Write ? (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Tags

Book, 17th ed. / rev. by John Ayto, Collins, 2005Description
Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is one of the world’s best-loved reference books. To complete this rich mix of information, Brewer and his subsequent editors have added an extraordinary and enticing miscellany of general knowledge—lists of patron saints, terms in heraldry, regimental nicknames, public house names, the principal English horse-races and famous last words. This first new Brewer’s of the 21st century maintains and respects the book’s 135-year-old tradition, while offering a wealth of fascinating new material to reflect the ‘phrase and fable’ of a changing world.
