Albania, the last Stalinist outpost in Europe, was almost impossible to visit, almost impossible to leave. It was a place of queuing and scarcity, of political executions and secret police. People were equal, neighbours helped each other, and children were expected to build a better world. Then, in December 1990, a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, everything changed. The statues of Stalin and Hoxha were toppled. Almost overnight, people could vote freely, wear what they liked and worship as they wished. But factories shut, jobs disappeared and thousands fled to Italy on crowded ships, only to be sent back. Predatory pyramid schemes eventually bankrupted the country, leading to violent conflict. As her own family's secrets were revealed, Lea found herself questioning what freedom really meant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41460679573655,"sku":"9780141995106","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/products\/9780241481851.jpg?v=1638801314"},{"product_id":"copy-of-shalimar","title":"Exeter Cathedral memorials with links to Empire","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"h3 mb-2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #f5a176;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #f5a176;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #f5a176;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecently the public have been showing increased interest in finding out more about the history of the British Empire, especially in relation to slavery.

He found himself caught between two worlds: the stiflingly respectable middle class in Kingston, who, in their habits and ambitions, measured themselves against the white planter elite; and working-class and peasant Jamaica, neglected and grindingly poor, though rich in culture, music and history. But as colonial rule was challenged, things began to change in Kingston and across the world. When, in 1951, a scholarship took him across the Atlantic to Oxford University, Hall encountered other Caribbean writers and thinkers, from Sam Selvon and George Lamming to V.S. Naipaul. He also forged friendships with the likes of Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson, with whom he worked in the formidable political movement, the New Left.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42275921428631,"sku":"9780141984759","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/products\/9780141984759.webp?v=1656691663"},{"product_id":"witchland-pre-order","title":"Witchland - PRE ORDER","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHundreds of women were killed during the 1640-50 witch hunts. These trials, driven by an angry and puritan theology, encouraged people to turn on each other out of fear and moral panic. Starting in south-east England and quickly growing into a mass violence killing hundreds, this is the story of ten cases that perfectly demonstrate the national scale of the crisis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the British civil wars raging in the background, Marion Gibson shares the stories of Anne West, Ellen Driver, Henry Maggs, Ann Jefferies and others unfairly accused and executed.
