Three FREE books worth £14.97

The Spectator is pleased to offer you three books from Penguin’s Great Ideas series.  These feature the works of great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.  They have changed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them.

All are books which have transformed the world – free with a magazine that merely aspires to.

A Confession, Leo Tolstoy
Describing Tolstoy's crisis of depression and estrangement from the world, A Confession is an autobiographical work of exceptional emotional honesty.  It describes his search for 'a practical religion not promising future bliss but giving bliss on earth'.  Although the Confession led to his excommunication, it also resulted in a large following of Tolstoyan Christians springing up throughout Russia and Europe. RRP: £4.99

The Art of War, Sun-tzu
Offering ancient wisdom on how to use skill, cunning, tactics and discipline to outwit your opponent, this bestselling 2000-year-old military manual is still worshipped by soldiers on the battlefield and managers in the boardroom as the ultimate guide to winning.  RRP: £4.99

The Invisible Hand, Adam Smith
Adam Smith’s landmark treatise on the free market paved the way for modern capitalism, arguing that competition is the engine of a productive society, and that self-interest will eventually come to enrich the whole community, as if by an ‘invisible hand’.  RRP: £4.99
