The Illustrated Edition

by Sylvia Plath

I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo. Sylvia Plath's groundbreaking semi-autobiographical novel offers an intimate, honest and often wrenching glimpse into mental illness. The Bell Jar broke the boundaries between fiction and reality and helped cement Sylvia Plath's place as an enduring feminist icon. Celebrated for its darkly humorous, razor sharp portrait of 1950s society, it continues to resonate with readers today as testament to the universal human struggle to claim one's rightful place in the world. A special illustrated edition - the second book in our collection of illustrated Faber classics.

by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

One of the most well-known works of philosophy is The Will to Power, which was assembled from the notebooks. The first critical edition in any language is presented here. The Will to Power has repeatedly been disparaged after World War II, despite being incorrectly thought to be Nietzsche's most systematic work up until the Nazi era. It actually offers a remarkable selection from Nietzsche's notebooks, organised by topic to make it easy for readers to find what the philosopher had to say on a variety of topics.
