THE FIRST NOVEL BY NICOLAS MATHIEU, WINNER OF THE 2018 PRIX GONCOURT A literary crime novel of the new social order, where the white lower class blames their bosses, the Arabs, the rich, and the whole world at the same time... It is the story of a world that has come to an end. With a girl, a .45 Colt, and the snow.

Nicolas Mathieu's eloquent novel gives a pitch-perfect depiction of teenage angst. Winner of the Prix Goncourt, it won praise for its portrayal of people living on the margins and shines a light on the struggles of French society today.

We live in a World which, though the origins are long, seems suddenly transformed by economic events way out of our control. In seeking stability, we must acknowledge the seismic scale of the challenge, and understand the devastating impact of global energy inefficiency. Every society, organisation, business, household and individual must put efficiency first - not just to save money and carbon and improve resilience, but to reduce the risk, or effect, of conflict.

Highlights the role of simplicity in science, and in particular its favourite tool, Occam's razor.

A masterful novel by the prize-winning author of The Night Guest and The High Places, an epic tale of unsettlement, history, myth, love and art.

In 1998, an apparently ordinary Australian man is arrested and charged for a series of brutal murders. The news shocks the nation, bringing both horror and resolution to the victims' families, but its impact travels even further: into the past, as the murders rewrite personal histories, and into the future, as true crime podcasts and biopics tell the story of the crimes.

A global history of free speech, from the ancient world to today. Hailed as the "first freedom," free speech is the bedrock of democracy. But it is a challenging principle, subject to erosion in times of upheaval.

Written with unflinching candour and wit, Where You End and I Begin explores the dark reverberations of victim narratives and the power of filial love.
