Thomas More is an enduringly fascinating and profoundly controversial figure. A brilliant scholar, his Utopia of 1516 dared to imagine how society might be completely reordered. At the same time, his hatred of the Reformation caused him to advocate, and seek to implement, the death penalty for heretics. A friend and advisor to Henry VIII, More's refusal to support Henry's break with Rome led to his execution in 1535, and the start of a long argument about his legacy.

From the jungles of British Burma to the slums of Paris, from the trenches of the Spanish Civil War to the propaganda halls of the BBC, Orwell lived through the machinery of power — and spent every ounce of his voice trying to tear it apart. Orwell: The Man Who Warned Us is a literary biography that doesn’t just tell you who Orwell was — it shows you how he became one of the most dangerous writers in history.

He didn’t just create superheroes. He created a blueprint for how modern culture thinks about power, pain, identity — and redemption. From Spider-Man’s guilt to the X-Men’s exile, from the pages of pulp comics to billion-dollar movie screens, Stan Lee rewired the mythologies of the modern world. But behind the catchphrases and cameos was a man caught between truth and persona, legacy and loneliness, spotlight and shadow. This book goes beyond the fan letter. It’s a deep-dive into the masks he wore — and the world he left behind.
