Ultimately, Pawel argues that the legacy of Chavez’s life and work “would not be in the fields, but in the rise of his people” (3). Exploring Chavez’s triumphs and faults from his childhood during the 1930s to his rise as a national icon from the 1960s onward, the author attempts to reconstruct the complex “mosaic of Cesar Chavez” (3). Instead, the value of this book lies in its immense detail and readability.

Trusted TV journalist, Bamber Gascoigne, the Jeremy Paxman of his day, was enlisted to witness the burial of the casket. ![]() The concept was deceptively simple: decipher the clues, work out where the prize was buried and dig it up yourself. Readers were invited to scour 16 elaborate drawings that told a mystical, folksy tale, for clues to where Williams had hidden actual treasure: The Golden Hare – an 18-carat, jewelled amulet worth more than £30,000. The man behind the craze, quirky English artist Kit Williams, devised a beautiful coffee-table book whose story spilled out into a real-life treasure hunt. Chief among my inspirations for this was Masquerade, an illustrated storybook published in August 1979 that was to become the source of an international scandal. ![]() ![]() In The Twyford Code a man is convinced his teacher discovered a secret code in a series of children’s books.

Written after Hamsun's return from an ill-fated tour of America, Hunger is loosely based on the author's own impoverished life before his breakthrough in 1890. It has been translated into English three times: in 1899 by Mary Chavelita Dunne (under the alias George Egerton), by Robert Bly in 1967, and by Sverre Lyngstad, whose translation is considered definitive.
