The life of the great Portuguese explorer who dared to sail beyond the horizon The Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) is one of the most famous navigators in history-he was the first man to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, & led the first voyage to circumnavigate the globe, although he was killed en route in a battle with natives in the Phillipines. In this biography, Zweig brings to life the Age of Discovery by telling the tale of one of the era`s most daring adventurers. In typically flowing & elegant prose he takes us on a fascinating journey of discovery ourselves. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin & Vienna & was first known as a poet & translator, then as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, & was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok & Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he & his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide.

From the bard of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac`s Maggie Cassidy is an autobiographical novel of young love, published in Penguin Modern Classics. Though publishers stopped Maggie Cassidy`s Jack Duluoz & On the Road`s Sal Paradise from sharing the same name, Kerouac meant the books to be two parts of the same life. While On the Road made Paradise (and Kerouac) a hero for generations to come of the disaffected & restless, Maggie Cassidy is an affectionate portrait of the teenager that made the man
- of friendship & first love growing up in a New England mill town. Duluoz is a high school athletics & football star who meets Maggie Cassidy & begins a devoted, inconstant, tender adolescent love affair. It is one of the most sustained, poetic pieces of Kerouac`s `spontaneous prose`. Jack Kerouac (1922-69) was an American novelist, poet, artist & part of the Beat Generation. His first published novel, The Town & the City, appeared in 1950, but it was On the Road, published in 1957, that made Kerouac famous. Publication of his many other books followed, among them The Subterraneans, Big Sur, & The Dharma Bums. Kerouac died in Florida at the age of forty-seven. If you enjoyed Maggie Cassidy, you might like Kerouac`s The Subterraneans & Pic, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
