The Beatles in India<\/h3>\t\t\t

Paul Saltzmann<\/strong>
\nThis new edition of\u00a0The Beatles in India<\/em>\u00a0brings intimate images of the group, taken at an ashram in Rishikesh, India, to a wider audience than ever before. No photographers or press were allowed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi\u2019s ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, but the Beatles had no objection to fellow visitor Paul Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time there. Containing a wide-ranging narrative by Saltzman \u2013 about everything from the story of how \u201cDear Prudence\u201d came to be to George Harrison\u2019s description of the first time he picked up a sitar \u2013 this unique and exclusive exploration of one of the Beatles\u2019 most tender and bittersweet periods is a must-have for all fans of the legendary rock group.<\/em>

Winter<\/h3>\t\t\t

Karl Ove Knausgaard<\/strong>
\nThe second volume in his autobiographical quartet based on the seasons,\u00a0Winter<\/em>\u00a0is an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and letters addressed directly to the author\u2019s unborn daughter. In preparation for her arrival, Karl Ove Knausgaard takes stock of the world, seeing it as if for the first time. In his inimitably sensitive style, he writes about the moon, water, messiness, owls, birthdays \u2013 to name just a handful of his subjects. These oh-so-familiar objects and ideas he fills with new meaning, taking nothing for granted or as given. New life is on the horizon, but the earth is also in hibernation, waiting for the warmer weather to return, and so a contradictory melancholy inflects his gaze.

A Hero for High Times<\/h3>\t\t\t

Ian Marchant<\/strong>
\nThis is the story of how an old man called Bob Rowberry ended up in a broken-down bus, in a forgotten part of the world. It tells of how, along the way, Procol Harum were named after his cat, how he sold Owsley acid to R.D. Laing, of how he annoyed Saddam Hussein and the IRA, and how he was freed from jail in Mexico by a popular uprising of the peasantry who had come to know him as \u2018El Maestro\u2019. It’s also the story of his times, and the ideas that shaped him, of why you know your birth sign, why you have friends called Willow, why Yoko Ono affected how we eat much more than Linda McCartney ever did, why sex and drugs and rock\u2019n\u2019roll once mattered more than money, why dance music stopped the New Age Travellers from travelling, and why you need to think twice before taking the brown acid.

Feel Free<\/h3>\t\t\t

Zadie Smith<\/strong>
\nGathering in one place for the first time previously unpublished work, as well as already classic essays, such as, “Joy,” and, “Find Your Beach,”\u00a0Feel Free<\/em>\u00a0offers a survey of important recent events in culture and politics, as well as Smith’s own life. Equally at home in the world of good books and bad politics, Brooklyn-born rappers and the work of Swiss novelists, she is by turns wry, heartfelt, indignant, and incisive \u2013 and never any less than perfect company. Since she burst spectacularly into view with her debut novel, White Teeth, almost two decades ago, Zadie Smith has established herself not just as one of the world’s preeminent fiction writers, but also a brilliant and singular essayist. This is literary journalism at its best.
