The 100 Best Nonfiction Books

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 (the definition of which also included books of poetry and plays). 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, TS Eliot`s The Wasteland, Beckett Waiting for Godot, Germaine Greer`s The Female Eunuch, Tom Wolfe`s The Right Stuff, Stephen Hawking`s A Brief History of Time and a whole host of additional works that have either changed our ways of seeing the world, or were landmarks of expression.
