The English Teacher

R. K. Narayan (1906--2001) witnessed nearly a century of change in his native India and captured it in fiction of uncommon warmth and vibrancy. The title character in The English Teacher, Narayan's most autobiographical novel, searches for meaning when the death of his young wife deprives him of his greatest source of happiness. This pioneering novel, luminous in its detail and refreshingly free of artifice, is a gift to twentieth-century literature.

Say You'll Be Mine

A city girl. A cowboy. A marriage of convenience.

Torch

How do you fight fire without fire? When a freak storm uncovers the entrance to a mysterious underground chamber, Ivy and Martin expect to find treasure. But what they discover is even more valuable: a barrow full of sleeping spriggans, magically preserved for centuries. With the vengeful piskey queen Betony determined to capture Ivy and her followers, the secret hideaway could be key to both their peoples' survival. But the piskeys and spriggans are ancient enemies, and when Ivy tries to make peace her own followers threaten to turn against her. Plagued by treachery, betrayal and desertion on every side, Ivy must find a way to unite the magical folk of Cornwall—or doom herself, Martin and everyone she loves to death at Betony's hand. Yet without the legendary fire-wielding power that marks a true piskey queen, can Ivy convince her people to believe?

The Uncomfortable Dead

“Great writers by definition are outriders, raiders of a sort, sweeping down from wilderness territories to disturb the peace, overrun the status quo and throw into question everything we know to be true. . . . On its face, the novel is a murder mystery, and at the book’s heart, always, is a deep love of Mexico and its people.” —Los Angeles Times

The Redacted Sherlock Holmes

ORLANDO PEARSON, Dr Watson's successor as the assistant to Sherlock Holmes, was entrusted by the doctor with notes on cases too controversial to publish during Holmes's career. The three complete stories in this volume were withheld respectively due to the threat they posed to national security, the disclosure of a scandal in a foreign Royal family, and the exposure of excessively close links between Government ministers and industry. Other stories, which are available on-line, highlighted such matters as Government failure to regulate the banks and some grotesque events in Camberwell. It is obviously inconceivable that any of these issues could be of relevance in the better ordered twenty- first century, but these stories, freshly unearthed, provide a fascinating insight into some of the issues facing society at the turn of the twentieth and right up to the early 1950's.

Книга снобов, написанная одним из них

Книга снобов, написанная одним из них . Предварительные замечания (Необходимость книги о Снобах, явствующая из Истории и обоснованная удачными примерами: автор и есть тот, кому суждено написать данную книгу. Его призвание излагается в самых красноречивых выражениях. Он доказывает, что свет издавна готовился к появлению этой книги и ее Автора. Снобов надлежит изучать так же, как и прочие предметы естественной истории, к тому же они составляют неотъемлемую часть Прекрасного (с прописной буквы). Они встречаются во всех классах общества. Разительный образец снобизма полковник Снобли.)

Walking on Cowrie Shells
