London Review of Books Magazine

The London Review of Books magazine provides a space for some of the world’s most celebrated writers to explore a vast variety of subjects in exhilarating depth and detail – from art and politics to science and technology via history and philosophy, not to mention fiction and poetry.

Every fortnightly issue is filled with book reviews, memoir and reportage, reviews of exhibitions and movies, ‘short cuts’, letters and a diary, plus each issue also contains a selection of poems. An essential read for any literary enthusiast.

Since its first issue in 1979, the London Review of Books has established itself as the most important exponent of the intellectual essay, admired around the world for its fearlessness, range and undeniable elegance.

Often provocative and always original, London Review of Books’ writers do more than just review books - they use recently published books as a catalyst to interrogate and analyse the zeitgeist. The result is a collection of independent, originally-crafted essays. A London Review of Books magazine subscription also makes a great gift for anyone with a love of great writing.
