Summary
When we think of great events in the history of the world, we tend to think of war, revolution, political upheaval or natural catastrophe. But throughout history there have been moments of vital importance that have taken place not on the battlefield, or in the palaces of power, or even in the violence of nature, but between the pages of a book. in this audiobook, Melvyn Bragg presents a vivid reminder of the book as agent of social, political and personal revolution. Here are famous books by Darwin, Newton and Shakespeare, but we also discover the stories behind some less well-known works, such as the original radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft's A vindication of the rights of woman.
