LATEST BOOKS  Below you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days. She Is Not Invisible Sergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager whose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City. Six Bad Poets “Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society. Britain Against Napoleon  This book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?  In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger Knight looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war. The Beau Monde  Hannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.  72.
