The Folio Society's Winter Collection adds titles from Marvel, Frank Herbert, Mary Shelly, Agatha Christie, Cormac McCarthy, Toni Morrison, and more.
The Folio Society has become a staple of my gift guides. They consistently release the most beautiful, illustrated editions of classic novels, plays, poetry collections, and comics. There is a sense of elegance and timelessness to everything they publish.
I’ve included a little Charles Dickens, which isn’t new, but pairs incredibly well with the newly released The Night Before Christmas. Think of it as a bonus temptation. As if these titles weren’t already tempting enough.There is nothing more Dickensian than the Dickens Christmas. His was a vision of sizzling geese with the stuffing falling out, puddings like cannonballs blazing with brandy, bowls of punch, hordes of children and Dickens himself in the role of storyteller.
Witness the creation of the world’s first multiverse, when the publisher that would become DC Comics founded the superhero genre as we know it today. The groundbreaking debut adventures of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and more return in Folio’s earth-shattering new collection DC Comics: The Golden Age. Former DC Editor-in-Chief Jenette Kahn selects and introduces eighteen epoch-making stories published during the formative age of American comic books.
In this revelatory book, Peter Frankopan makes the case for a major re-evaluation of world history – one focused not on Europe but on central Asia, where East meets West. In The Silk Roads, the zone between the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Himalayas emerges as a birthplace of civilisations, empires and religions. From here, the ancient routes of the title – ‘the world’s central nervous system’ – spread not only trade, but scientific knowledge, slaves, disease and marauding armies.
