| '''Genre:''' Fantasy<br>
| |
| '''Summary:''' GOD IS DEAD, his corpse hidden in the catacombs beneath Mordew.
| |
| | |
| In the slums of the sea-battered city a young boy called Nathan Treeves lives with his parents, eking out a meagre existence by picking treasures from the Living Mud and the half-formed, short-lived creatures it spawns. Until one day his desperate mother sells him to the mysterious Master of Mordew.
| |
| | |
| The Master derives his magical power from feeding on the corpse of God. But Nathan, despite his fear and lowly station, has his own strength – and it is greater than the Master has ever known. Great enough to destroy everything the Master has built. If only Nathan can discover how to use it...

| <p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; text-transform: uppercase; margin-bottom: 0;">On Anarchism</p>
| |
| by '''Noam Chomsky'''<br> | |
| English<br>
| |
| '''Genre:''' Political Philosophy<br>
| |
| '''Summary:''' On Anarchism sheds a much needed light on the foundations of Chomsky's thought, specifically his constant questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. The book gathers his essays and interviews to provide a short, accessible introduction to his distinctively optimistic brand of anarchism. Refuting the notion of anarchism as a fixed idea, and disputing the traditional fault lines between anarchism and socialism, this is a book sure to challenge, provoke and inspire.
