'A fascinating page-turner... An indispensable guide to modern innovation and entrepreneurship.'
Walter Isaacson, no. 1 bestselling author of Steve Jobs

Perfect for readers of Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance and Zero to One by Peter Theil

Out of PayPal's ranks have come household names like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Max Levchin and Reid Hoffman. Since leaving Paypal, they have formed, funded, and advised the leading companies of our era, including Tesla, Facebook, YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, and LinkedIn, among many others. Yet for all their influence, the incredible story of where they started has gone largely untold.

In The Founders, award-winning author Jimmy Soni narrates how a once-in-a-generation collaboration turned a scrappy start-up into one of the most successful businesses of all time. Facing bruising competition, internal strife, the emergence of widespread online fraud, and the devastating dot-com bust of the 2000s, their success was anything but certain. But they would go on to change our world forever.

Informed by hundreds of interviews and unprecedented access to thousands of pages of internal material, The Founders explores how the seeds of so much of what drives the internet today were planted two decades ago.

A timeless story of beauty, hedonism, and morality

A new addition to the widely read Capstone Classics series, The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Gothic Classic, by Oscar Wilde, explores the brutal consequences of hedonism, loose morals, and an obsessive focus on beauty and pleasure. Wilde’s novel follows a young man, Dorian Gray, who becomes infatuated with his own beauty as it is captured in a portrait by artist Basil Hallward.

Dorian's physical beauty endures through the years as his picture grows ever more grotesque. The portrait becomes a window into his soul, withering and decaying as he pursues a hollow life, devoid of meaningful achievement or virtue.

One of the great Victorian Gothic novels,The Picture of Dorian Gray is as insightful and gripping as when first published.

This deluxe hardback Capstone edition includes a new Introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon that offers historical and cultural context for the modern reader and provides deeper insights into the text.

Perfect for every fan of literature – or simply those looking for their next great story – The Picture of Dorian Gray is an unmissable classic in the tradition of horror, gothic, dark, and supernatural fiction.
