SUMMARY:Manchester Literature Festival presents Jung Chang
DESCRIPTION:International bestselling author Jung Chang brings us Fly\, Wild Swans\, the long-awaited sequel to her iconic memoir Wild Swans—a book that defined a generation and remains banned in China. \nFly\, Wild Swans picks up where Wild Swans left off\, tracing Chang’s life and China’s transformation from the end of the Mao era to Xi Jinping’s authoritarian rule today. Chang explores how the political and cultural shifts of the last five decades have shaped her life and that of her mother\, offering an immersive and deeply moving account of what it is like to live in a communist dictatorship and the threats modern China poses to the international world order. \nJung Chang is the bestselling author of Wild Swans\, which has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Her acclaimed works on Chinese history have been translated into over 40 languages and she holds a CBE for services to literature. \n‘Wild Swans made me feel like a five-year-old. This is a family memoir that has the breadth of the most enduring social history.’  Martin Amis\, Independent on Sunday \nPresented by Manchester Literature Festival and supported by Library Live \nBook tickets here or ‘Book Now’ below

SUMMARY:Manchester Literature Festival presents Marcus du Sautoy
DESCRIPTION:In this fascinating talk\, celebrated mathematician and leading scientist Marcus du Sautoy invites us to explore his new book Blueprints: How Mathematics Shapes Creativity and rethink the boundaries between art and mathematics.  \nFrom prehistoric stone circles to Zaha Hadid’s sweeping curves\, to Shakespeare’s rhythms and Radiohead’s musical experimentation\, Marcus discusses how symmetry\, prime numbers\, fractals and hyperbolic geometry have inspired artists\, architects\, writers and musicians across the ages. Hear how creativity and logic are not opposing forces\, but deeply interconnected ways of understanding the world and why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new mathematics.   \nMarcus du Sautoy is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. In 2008 he was appointed to the university’s prestigious professorship as the Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science\, a post previously held by Richard Dawkins. He works extensively with a range of arts organisations bringing science alive for the public\, from the Royal Opera House and Glastonbury Festival to Complicité theatre company.  \nPresented by Manchester Literature Festival in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester and supported by Library Live.  \nBook tickets here or click ‘Book Now’ below
