A marriage of history and memoir, vivid firsthand observation and decades of research and reflection, There Was a Country is a work whose wisdom and compassion remind us of Chinua Achebe’s place as one of the great literary and moral voices of our age. n Things Fall Apart is a multimillion-copy bestseller that sells over 250,000 copies yearly and has been published in 50 languages n Chinua Achebe was recently awarded the Man Booker International Prize Chinua aCheBe was born in Nigeria in 1930. He has published novels, short stories, essays, and children’s books. He is the recipient of the Nigerian National Merit Award, Nigeria’s highest award for intellectual achievement. In 2007, he won the Man Booker International Prize.

With his publication of On the Origin of Species, Darwin forever changed our concept of the world. While Johnson praises Darwin’s extraordinary skills as a natural scientist and his monumental achievements, he does not sidestep Darwin’s tragic failures as an anthropologist. Johnson argues that by applying his theory of natural selection to humans, Darwin provided a platform for the burgeoning eugenics movement. Lay readers and academics alike will enjoy this concise and unflinching exploration of Charles Darwin, a genius whose discoveries—even the flawed ones—add significant dimension to our understanding of his mind, the era in which he lived, and his everlasting impact on our world. n Paul Johnson’s book Churchill was a New York Times bestseller n Johnson is a regular contributor to Forbes, and his writings have also appeared in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, among numerous other publications n Viking will simultaneously publish Paul Johnson’s next biography, Mozart Paul Johnson is the author of many bestselling books, including Socrates: A Man for Our Times; Jesus: A Biography from a Believer; and Churchill. He lives in London. CLASSIC PeNGuIN OCTOBeR 65
