The 100 Best Nonfiction Books by Robert Mccrum
100 Best Non Fiction Books has its origins in the recent 2 year-long Observer serial which every week featured a work of non fiction). It is also a companion volume to McCrum's very successful 100 Best Novels published by Galileo in 2015. The list of books starts in 1611 with the King James Bible and ends in 2014 with Elizabeth Kolbert's The Sixth Extinction. And in between, on this extraordinary voyage through the written treasures of our culture we meet Pepys' Diaries, Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and a whole host of additional works.For nearly two decades, Robert McCrum, now literary editor of London's Observer, was the editor-in-chief of the publishing business Faber & Faber in London. He is the coauthor of the popular The Story of English and the author of six critically praised novels. McCrum and his wife, Sarah Lyall, live in London with their daughter.
