At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

A celebration of the language and culture of Italy, La Bella Lingua is the story of how a language shaped a nation, told against the backdrop of one woman's personal quest to speak fluent Italian. For anyone who has been to Italy, the fantasy of living the Italian life is powerfully seductive. But to truly become Italian, one must learn the language. This is how Dianne Hales began her journey. In La Bella Lingua, she brings the story of her decades-long experience with "the world's most loved and lovable language" together with explorations of Italy's history.

Leo Tolstoy was born to an aristocratic Russian family, became a world-famous influential novelist, and then chose to lead the simple life of a peasant. Dating from this last part of his life, Tolstoy’s influential book What I Believe takes readers along on the path to a life modeled literally on Jesus Christ’s "Sermon on the Mount" and the teachings of the Gospels. In revealing and frank essays he reimagines a faith without dogma, centered solely on Jesus’ doctrine of love, humility, and self-denial.

Jolly Wicked, Actually is a wonderfully entertaining compendium of the 100 words and phrases that have, over the last century, become the cornerstones of modern spoken English. Despite attempts by politicians and writers, despite lessons in citizenship enshrined in the national curriculum, we have famously never been able to define for posterity precisely what Englishness is. Jolly Wicked, Actually takes certain well-loved and crucial expressions such as sorry, nice, common, posh, cuppa and chippy, explores their strange and wonderful origins, and demonstrates with wit and charm how they are emblems essential to all our notions of Englishness.

"Tra i miei libri, 'L'inglese' è quello che ha mostrato più intraprendenza" scrive Beppe Severgnini. "I lettori ne hanno fatto ciò che hanno voluto: un pamphlet sulla lingua del mondo, un gioco, una provocazione, un testo scolastico, un divertimento per quelli che l'inglese lo sapevano, una speranza per quanti volevano impararlo." Questa vitalità ha convinto l'autore che occorreva un aggiornamento. L'inglese infatti cambia in fretta, e la gioiosa manomissione degli italiani tiene il passo. Pensate al linguaggio di Internet, o alle semplificazioni dell'inglese d'America.

You wouldn’t be ‘barking mad’ if, when asked the definition of certain phrases, ‘the cat got your tongue’ and you ‘clammed up’. Let’s not ‘beat around the bush’; the English language is littered with linguistic quirks that, on closer examination, seem utterly fantastical. In Spilling the Beans on the Cat’s Pyjamas, Judy Parkinson explores the many colourful – but rather incomprehensible – phrases that enhance our language, describing their origins and defining their true meanings.

"Ho scritto 'L'italiano. Lezioni semiserie' per denunciare le violenze contro la nostra lingua, ma non chiedo condanne. Lo scopo è la riabilitazione. Scrivere bene si può. L'importante è capire chi scrive male, e regolarsi di conseguenza. Questo è un libro ottimista, e ha un obiettivo dichiarato: aiutarvi a scrivere in maniera efficace (un'e-mail, una relazione, una tesi o un breve saggio: la tecnica non cambia)".
