Lost in Glory - Quentin Oakwood- Quentin Oakwood

Lost in Glory’ is a parody of heroic fantasy literature. A hero sets out on a journey to defeat the Evil Empire, or so he thinks. Thinking isn’t his strong point. Will he find his way in a world full of absurdity? Will the Joyous Beige Dragon guide him to victory? Will everything go the protagonist’s way like it usually does in such novels?

Beauty and the Sorrow

The Great War: four devastating years told by twenty eyewitnesses. There are many books on the First World War, but award-winning and bestselling historian Peter Englund takes a daring and stunning new approach. Describing the experiences of twenty ordinary people from around the world, all now unknown, he explores the everyday aspects of war: not only the tragedy and horror, but also the absurdity, monotony and even beauty. Two of these twenty will perish, two will become prisoners of war, two will become celebrated heroes and two others end up as physical wrecks.
