To celebrate Chanukah, Jewish Book Week has chosen twelve very special events from the 2019 programme to release for sale a month early.
Come and hear superlative speakers, including philosopher Simon May and clinical psychologist Frank Tallis on love – the light and the dark side; scientist Oren Harman on evolutions, and the myths that shaped our world; Robert Hutton on Agent Jack, MI5’s secret Nazi hunter; Martin Gayford and Hannah Rothschild on the London painters; Michael Rosen on the radical side of children’s literature; John Gray on the rich tradition of atheism; Francesca Simon on creating an opera from her bestselling The Monstrous Child; fiction with Ben Markovits, and Alba Arikha; the genesis of the female novelist with Fay Weldon, Tracy Chevalier and Ayelet Gundar-Goshen; Volker Weidermann on when the writers took power in Germany; and Elif Shafak and Alice Shalvi in conversation on their hopes and passions.
The full programme will go on sale on 9 January 2019.
