Publisher's Summary:
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • The son of Ethiopian immigrants seeks to understand a hidden family history and uncovers a past colored by unexpected loss, addiction, and the enduring emotional pull toward home. After abandoning his once-promising career as a journalist in search of a new life in Paris, Mamush meets Hannah—a photographer whose way of seeing the world shows him the possibility of finding not only love but family. Now, five years later, with his marriage to Hannah on the verge of collapse, he returns to the close-knit immigrant Ethiopian community of Washington, DC, that defined his childhood. At its center is Mamush’s stoic, implacable mother, and Samuel, the larger-than-life father figure whose ceaseless charm and humor have always served as a cover for a harder, more troubling truth. But on the same day that Mamush arrives home in Washington, Samuel is found dead in his garage. With Hannah and their two-year-old son back in Paris, Mamush sets out on an unexpected journey across America in search of answers to questions he'd been told never to ask. As he does so, he begins to understand that perhaps the only chance he has of saving his family and making it back home is to confront not only the unresolved mystery around Samuel’s life and death, but his own troubled memories, and the years spent masking them. Breathtaking, commanding, unforgettable work from one of America’s most prodigiously gifted novelists. | |||

A smart, juicy, and page-turning novel about celebrity, fandom, and the price of ambition following a journalist's obsessive search for a missing Hollywood starlet When Echo Blue, the most famous child star of the nineties, disappears ahead of a highly publicized television appearance on the eve of the millennium, the salacious theories instantly start swirling. Mostly, people assume Echo has gotten herself in trouble after a reckless New Year’s Eve. But Goldie Klein, an ambitious young journalist who also happens to be Echo's biggest fan, knows there must be more to the story. Why, on the eve of her big comeback, would Echo just go missing without a trace? After a year of covering dreary local stories for Manhattan Eye, Goldie is sure this will be her big break. Who better to find Echo Blue, and tell her story the right way, than her? And so, Goldie heads to L.A. to begin a wild search that takes her deep into Echo’s complicated life in which parental strife, friend break ups, rehab stints, and bad romances abound. But the further into Echo’s world Goldie gets, the more she questions her own complicity in the young star’s demise . . . yet she cannot tear herself away from this story, which has now consumed her entirely. Meanwhile, we also hear Echo's side of things from the beginning, showing a young woman who was chewed up and spit out by Hollywood as so many are, and who may have had to pay the ultimate price. As these young women's poignant and unexpected journeys unfold, and eventually meet, Where Are You, Echo Blue? interrogates celebrity culture, the thin line between admiration and obsession, and what it means to tell other peoples’ stories, all while ushering us on an unruly ride to find out what did become of Echo Blue. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer, and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story There are two things that I simply cannot tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in the Tokyo Detention House convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, whom she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination, but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew, and Kajii can’t resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a master class in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii, but it seems that Rika might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body. Do she and Kajii have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of a convicted con woman and serial killer—the “Konkatsu Killer”—Asako Yuzuki’s Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
'Powerful, relatable and crazily addictive, Bye, Baby takes an unflinching look at the battling forces of toxicity and love which define so many female friendships. I couldn't put it down.' —Rosie Walsh, New York Times bestselling author of Ghosted and The Love of My Life 'Narrators Helen Laser and Karissa Vacker craft an amazing rhythm as the young women confront their toxic friendship. Listeners won't want to miss a word.'—AudioFile Every friendship has its shadow... On a brisk fall night in a New York apartment, 35-year-old Billie West hears terrified screams. It's her lifelong best friend Cassie Barnwell, one floor above, and she's just realized her infant daughter has gone missing. Billie is shaken as she looks down into her own arms to see the baby, remembering—with a jolt of fear—that she is responsible for the kidnapping that has instantly shattered Cassie’s world. Once fiercely bonded by their secrets, Cassie and Billie have drifted apart in adulthood, no longer the inseparable pair they used to be in their small Hudson Valley hometown. Cassie is married to a wealthy man, has recently become a mother, and is building a following as a lifestyle influencer. She is desperate to leave her past behind—including Billie, who is single and childless, and no longer fits into her world. But Billie knows the worst thing Cassie has ever done, and she will do whatever it takes to restore their friendship… Told in alternating perspectives in Lovering’s signature suspenseful style, Bye, Baby confronts the myriad ways friendships change and evolve over time, the lingering echoes of childhood trauma, and the impact of women’s choices on their lifelong relationships. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
I wish I could say that the tragedy of little Jack disappearing brought me and Nate closer together. But my husband is more distant from me now than he’s ever been. Perhaps that’s why I don’t ask him exactly where he’s going when he sets off on another business trip. Or perhaps I was too distracted by the woman moving in across the street with bouncing blonde hair and a cherubic toddler boy. He reminds me so much of the child I lost. But his mother doesn’t seem to properly watch him. And I can’t be sure, but I think Nate and this woman share a look of recognition before he leaves. The first day Nate’s away, things feel okay, even though I know when he returns we’re going to have to discuss what I found in his coat pocket. But one day turns into two and then three. I don’t want to seem like the crazy wife, but I have to call his work and ask what’s going on. And that’s when they tell me the shocking truth. Nate hasn’t worked for the company in six months. Once I’ve found this lie, it’s hard not to pick at the scab of our marriage, see what other secrets lie beneath his apparent love for me. By the end of the week, I hope I might finally learn the truth about my husband, about the woman across the street, and about what really happened to my little boy. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Anna’s done bad things before. Neglected and unloved as a child, she had to do whatever it took to keep herself and her little sister, Birdie, safe. But the worst thing she’s ever done is let her sister walk out of a diner when they were teenagers. She would never see her again. Years later, Anna is a new person. After a whirlwind romance, she’s married handsome, successful, and generous Guy. She has a steady job and a new life of comfort. Things seem perfect. But she hasn’t told her husband about her dark past or about Birdie, that she’s still looking for her. It’s not about his too-perfect veneer or her suspicion that he flirts with other women; it’s that he has a complicated past and family secrets too—secrets that might be more entwined with hers than he knows. After all this time, one thing about Anna remains the same: there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for her sister. And when she finds out who’s kept them apart for all these years, there will be hell to pay. A completely addictive, dark, and eye-opening novel about what people hide behind closed doors, The Secret Sister is a perfect for fans of Megan Miranda and Shari Lapena. | |||

When a test goes awry and one of them is found dead, the students find themselves trapped by a snowstorm on an abandoned campus with a local detective on the case. As harbored secrets begin to break the surface, the graduates must find out who's lying, who isn't, and who may have been capable of committing murder.

Publisher's Summary:
''A love story spanning multiple millenniums, life-forms and variations on immortality, the book posits Victorian poetry as a weapon of empire, insists on nature's resilience in the face of genocide, and manipulates prose into something like a new language....Toward Eternity recognizes both the building and burning of bridges.'' -New York Times *A PARADE, LITHUB, and CHICAGO REVIEW OF BOOKS Best New Book. *An AUDIOFILE EARPHONES AWARD WINNER. Negotiating the terrain of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun and Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility, a brilliant, haunting speculative novel from a #1 New York Times bestselling translator that sets out to answer the question: What does it mean to be human in a world where technology is quickly catching up to biology? In a near-future world, a new technological therapy is quickly eradicating cancer. The body’s cells are entirely replaced with nanites—robot or android cells which not only cure those afflicted but leaves them virtually immortal. Literary researcher Yonghun teaches an AI how to understand poetry and creates a living, thinking machine he names Panit, meaning Beloved, in honor of his husband. When Yonghun—himself a recipient of nanotherapy—mysteriously vanishes into thin air and then just as suddenly reappears, the event raises disturbing questions. What happened to Yonghun, and though he’s returned, is he really himself anymore? When Dr. Beeko, the scientist who holds the patent to the nanotherapy technology, learns of Panit, he transfers its consciousness from the machine into an android body, giving it freedom and life. As Yonghun, Panit, and other nano humans thrive—and begin to replicate—their development will lead them to a crossroads and a choice with existential consequences. Exploring the nature of intelligence and the unexpected consequences of progress, the meaning of personhood and life, and what we really have to fear from technology and the future, Toward Eternity is a gorgeous, thought-provoking novel that challenges the notion of what makes us human—and how love survives even the end of that humanity. | |||

Genres: Psychological
Publisher's Summary:
Una exquisita fábula sobre el exilio y la soledad. Elogiada unánimemente por la crítica y el público, se han vendido más de 200 mil ejemplares y ha sido publicada en once idiomas. Una fría mañana de noviembre, tras un penoso viaje en barco, un anciano desembarca en un país que podría ser Francia, donde no conoce a nadie y cuya lengua ignora. El señor Linh huye de una guerra que ha acabado con su familia y destrozado su aldea. La guerra le ha robado todo menos a su nieta, un bebé llamado Sang Diu, que en su idioma significa «Mañana dulce», una niña tranquila que duerme siempre que el abuelo tararee su nana, la melodía que han cantado durante generaciones las mujeres de la familia. Instalado en un piso de acogida, el señor Linh solo se preocupa por su nieta, su única razón de existir hasta que conoce al señor Bark, un hombre robusto y afable cuya mujer ha fallecido recientemente. Un afecto espontáneo surge entre estos dos solitarios que hablan distintas lenguas, pero que son capaces de comprenderse en silencio y a través de pequeños gestos. Ambos se encuentran regularmente en un banco del parque hasta que, una mañana, los servicios sociales conducen al señor Linh a un hospicio que no está autorizado a abandonar. El señor Linh consigue, sin embargo, escapar con Sang Diu y adentrarse en la ciudad desconocida, decidido a encontrar a su único amigo. Su coraje y determinación lo conducirán a un inesperado desenlace, profundamente conmovedor. El estilo narrativo, extremadamente depurado, casi minimalista, marca un punto de inflexión en la trayectoria de Claudel, ganador del Premio Renaudot 2003. La nieta del señor Linh ha sido recibida con entusiasmo en Francia, donde permanece en las listas de los libros más vendidos desde su aparición. La crítica ha dicho... «El redescubrimiento del mundo contado con sencillez y emoción.» Jose María Guelbenzu, Babelia «Una novelita especial cuyo vuelo escapa de sus páginas y va más allá de las caracterizaciones estilizadas de sus personajes, su lenguaje sencillo o su deliciosa sorpresa final.» María Bengoa «Si una vida puede vivirse a base de instantáneas, sólo es deseable si la retrata la pluma de Claudel. Las páginas son certeras puñaladas de verdad. [...] Dicen que sólo valen la pena los libros que te cambian la vida y ese es el poder balsámico de Claudel, artesano de la lengua y sus ficciones.» Ángeles López, Libros | |||

Title: The Quest of the Silver Fleece
Author: W. E. B. Du Bois
Narrator: Bahni Turpin
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 14 hours 13 minutes
Release date: July 11, 2023
Genres: Psychological
Publisher's Summary:
In The Quest of the Silver Fleece there is little, I ween, divine or ingenious; but, at least, I have been honest. In no fact or picture have I consciously set down aught the counterpart of which I have not seen or known; and whatever the finished picture may lack of completeness, this lack is due now to the story-teller, now to the artist, but never to the herald of the Truth. —Author’s Note from The Quest of the Silver Fleece W. E. B. Du Bois considered his first novel, The Quest of the Silver Fleece, to be an “economic study” of the post-Reconstruction relationship between the North and the South, but this first foray into fiction proves itself to be much more than that. Filled with literary realism, social commentary, and romance, Silver Fleece chronicles the love story between Zora, a free-spirited Black girl from a Southern swamp, and Bles, a Black man educated in the North. The couple must find a way to unite and overcome the racist Alabama town in which they live and, through working with the titular silver fleece (cotton), create an economic community that would help the rural Black community become self-sufficient. Controversial and provocative at the time of its publication, Du Bois’s debut novel is a cutting and thorough examination, and condemnation, of America’s views on race both at the time of the novel’s publication and the time in which it is set. As a sociologist and civil-rights leader, Du Bois was uniquely positioned to bring the themes of racism, prejudice, and racial equality found in The Souls of Black Folk, which he had published just before Silver Fleece, to a larger audience that had not read his nonfiction titles. The Quest of the Silver Fleece is a rousing and beautiful work of fiction from one of America’s most important intellects, and it continues to inspire conversation and debate around systemic racism in America today. | |||

A working-class white man takes a terrible fall.Tom Lowe’s identity and his pride are invested in the work he does with his back and his hands. He designed and built his family’s dream home, working extra hours to pay off the adjustable rate mortgage he took on the property, convinced he is making every sacrifice for the happiness of his wife and son. Until, in a moment of fatigued inattention, shingling a roof in too-bright sunlight, he falls.In constant pain, addicted to painkillers at the cost of his relationships with his wife and son, Tom slowly comes to realize that he can never work again. If he is not a working man, who is he? He is not, he believes, the kind of person who lives in subsidized housing, though that is where he has ended up.

To one man’s painful moral journey, Dubus bringscompassion with an edge of dark absurdity, forging a novel as absorbing as it is profound. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
La obra maestra del Premio Nobel de Literatura William Faulkner relata la degeneración progresiva de la familia Compson, sus secretos y las relaciones de amor y odio que la sostienen y la destruyen. «La vida no es más que una sombra... Una historia narrada por un necio, llena de ruido y furia, que nada significa.» Macbeth, William Shakespeare Por primera vez, William Faulkner introduce el monólogo interior y revela los diferentes puntos de vista de sus personajes: Benjy, deficiente mental, castrado por sus propios parientes; Quentin, poseído por un amor incestuoso e incapaz de controlar los celos, y Jason, monstruo de maldad y sadismo. Otros autores han dicho... «Cuando leí a William Faulkner, de repente me di cuenta de que la prosa podía tener la libertad y la posible indisciplina de la poesía.» Michael Ondaatje «Cuando un novelista consigue que su novela transmita al lector esa sensación perentoria, inapelable, de que aquello que cuenta sólo podría ocurrir así -ser contado así-, ha triunfado en toda línea.» Mario Vargas Llosa «Faulkner indagó en las sombras con emoción y talento difícilmente comparables [...]. Cualquiera que tenga curiosidad por la noveladel siglo XX en cualquier idioma tiene la obligación de leer a William Faulkner.» Javier Marías «Faulkner gusta de exponer la novela a través de los personajes. El método no es absolutamente original, pero Faulkner le infunde una intensidad que es casi intolerable.» Jorge Luis Borges «Faulkner es un dios.» Jean-Paul Sartre «El más radical innovador de los anales de la ficción norteamericana, un escritor a cuyas clases deberían acudir la vanguardia europea e hispanoamericana.» J. M. Coetzee «El vínculo entre Cervantes y Faulkner se encuentra en que los dos añaden algo al mundo, ilustran nuestro espíritu, al convertir los mundos ocultos en mundos liberados: Faulkner mediante la conciencia trágica del dolor y Cervantes mediante la comedia y la idea de que el hombre prevalecerá.» Carlos Fuentes «Al leer y releer a Faulkner es forzoso sospechar que su mirada era distinta a la nuestra, a la del común de los hombres, a la del común de los escritores. Detenida sobre paisajes, personas, circunstancias, veía algomás que lo percibido por nosotros [...]. Es, literariamente, uno de los más grandes artistas del siglo.» Juan Carlos Onetti | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Una adolescente fanática del horror y de las creepypastas (historias de terror que circulan por internet) despierta maniatada en una cabaña en medio del bosque. Su secuestradora no es una desconocida, sino su maestra de Lengua y Literatura, una mujer joven a quien ella y sus amigas han atormentado durante meses en un colegio de élite del Opus Dei. Pero pronto los motivos de ese secuestro se revelarán mucho más oscuros que el bullyng a una maestra: un perturbador amor juvenil, una traición inesperada y algunos ritos secretos e iniciáticos inspirados en esas historias virales y terroríficas gestadas en Internet. Mandíbula es una novela sobre el miedo y su relación con la familia, la sexualidad y la violencia. Narrada con una prosa llena de destellos líricos, símbolos desconcertantes y saltos en el tiempo, toma rasgos del thriller psicológico para desarrollar el juego mental que se produce entre alumnas y maestras, y escarbar en las relaciones pasionales entre madres e hijas, hermanas y 'mejores amigas', recreando un mundo de lo femenino-monstruoso que se conecta con la tradición del cine de terror y la literatura de género. | |||

And boy are they good – totally unexpected!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘An exceedingly clever, tense, surprising and satisfying rollercoaster of a book.’ Andrea Mara ‘Takes your worst fear about letting the wrong person into your life, multiplies it by four and then hits you round the head with a totally brilliant twist that I for one did not see coming. I absolutely loved it!’ Lisa Jewell ‘C.L. Taylor knocks it out of the park every time. Every Move You Make is a compulsive page-turner you won’t be able to put down.’ Clare Mackintosh ‘I absolutely love C.L. Taylor’s writing.’ Liz Nugent 'You’ll need your wits about you to track the truth in this terrifying thriller about victims who turn the tables on their stalkers. I read it with my heart in my mouth – exhilarating stuff.’ Louise Candlish ‘Spine-chilling at every turn! One of the best thrillers of the year.’ Jeffery Deaver ‘A tense, twisty thrill-ride of stalking, obsession and revenge.’ TM Logan 'Expertly crafted, with…vivid villains and a hard-to-spot twist. But its biggest strength is Taylor’s ability to bring home the horror of being pursued, confronted or harassed online in a way that no victim interview or TV documentary could achieve.' The Times 'Taylor ratchets up the tension and paranoia to great effect for a well-engineered, propulsive read.’ The Guardian | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Full-cast dramatisations and readings of classic tales by Walter de la Mare – plus bonus material. An award-wining poet, short story writer and novelist, Walter de la Mare is probably best known for his works for children and his perennially popular poem ‘The Listeners’. His ghost stories were much admired by H. P. Lovecraft and inspired subsequent authors of supernatural horror such as Robert Aickman and Ramsey Campbell. In 1921, his novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction, and this haunting, surrealistic tale is the opening tale in our anthology. It tells the extraordinary life story of the diminutive Miss M, who struggles to find her place in Victorian society. Torn between her obsessive suitor Mr Anon and the cruel, beautiful Fanny Bowater, she seeks freedom in the dangerous world of the circus… Emma Fielding stars as Miss M, with Robert Glenister, Sylvestra Le Touzel and Anna Massey. Based on de la Mare’s 1923 short story and starring Samuel West and Margaret Robertson, ‘Seaton’s Aunt’ sees Rupert Withers recalling the sinister relative of a boyhood friend – a woman he met just three times, but who left an indelible impression. Ghost Stories of Walter de la Mare contains four more uncanny tales – ‘All Hallows’ (read by Richard E. Grant), ‘Crewe’ (read by Kenneth Cranham), ‘A Recluse’ (read by Anthony Head) and ‘The Almond Tree’ (read by Julian Wadham). It is followed by a dramatisation of ‘The Trumpet’, starring Garard Green, in which a rector’s son meets his best friend in church one moonlit night for a dare that ends in disaster. Also included are two bonus programmes celebrating the poetry of Walter de la Mare. In Adventures in Poetry: The Listeners, Peggy Reynolds introduces a reading of the much-loved poem, and explores its background, effect and lasting appeal with guests Russell Hoban, Sean Street and de la Mare’s grandson Giles. And in Three Score and Ten, Ian Macmillan presents an archive recording from Christmas Day 1953 of Walter de la Mare reading his poems ‘England’ and ‘The Little Salamander’.

Publisher's Summary:
René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke was born into a troubled marriage on the 4th December 1875 in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His mother, having previously lost a baby girl, would dress the young boy up in girl's clothing. Later his father dispatched him to a military academy at age 10 but after a miserable 5 years the young Rilke left due to illness and instead entered first Prague and then Munich and finally Berlin university to study art history, philosophy and literature.His initial forays into literature was in poetry. His intense, mystical and lyrical style was much admired and over time inspired many in succeeding generations. His short prose collection 'Stories of God', written in an impassioned burst over several nights was published in 1900 and offers a beguiling view of much of Rilke's influences and outlook. The following year he married the pioneering sculptor and artist Clara Westhoff. The union produced one child, a daughter Ruth. He lived in Paris for most of the Century's first decade where he mixed with many great minds of the time. Although he continued to write he also worked as a secretary to the sculptor, Rodin. It was only after they settled in Switzerland in 1919 that his writing output was in full flow. Here he wrote profusely in both German and French, which included much on his previous travels, his left-wing sympathies, his religious and existential thoughts, all part of a unique and consummate style.From 1923 on, Rilke increasingly struggled with his health which was now in constant decline and often spent time rehabilitating at a sanatorium. Rainer Maria Rilke died of leukaemia on the 29th December 1926 in Montreux, Switzerland.

Publisher's Summary:
Honoré de Balzac was born on the 20th May, 1799 in the French city of Tours into an upper middle class family. At birth Balzac was wet-nursed and often then schooled away from home by parents who seemed remote. So difficult was life that at 15 he attempted suicide. The family's intention was for him to have a career in law but Balzac preferred literature. An avid reader, he began writing but his early attempts showed little promise. He thereafter settled in Paris and began to publish anonymously across political, philosophical, and historical novels.In 1825, Balzac purchased a printing house. He was soon bankrupt and forced to return to writing in order to reduce his debts. But his literary fortunes had changed, and his writing was now to achieve considerable success. He was accepted among the city's literary élites and its salons and would play an important role in establishing the copyright law in France. Balzac often worked on more than one project at a time and in his magnus opus 'The Human Comedy' all types of texts were collected to offer a rare narrative of different classes and social stereotypes of society. For many Balzac is considered the father of French realism, yet his works also cover philosophical and psychological questions. His writing was a fundamental source of inspiration for many distinguished and later writers such as Flaubert, Zola and Proust. Balzac also tried his hand at magazine publication with 'La Chronique de Paris' and 'La Revue Parisienne.' Although he was partnered with others such as Victor Hugo, it was another complete financial failure. As a committed Catholic, Balzac's stories also dealt with themes of mysticism, esotericism and spirituality, as well as universality and humanism. In politics, he was a staunch defender of the French Crown but unlike his contemporaries he was not an implacable enemy of the republicans. He often presented disagreements between royalists and republicans as a tolerable difference in political opinion. Despite many relationships Balzac married only towards the end of his life and it was in 1833 that he met the Polish Countess Hanska, who only became his wife 17 years later after an extensive relationship by correspondence and, by then, his health was ruinously bad. Honoré de Balzac died on 18th August 1850 in Paris. He was 51. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London.Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as 'Orlando', 'Mrs Dalloway' and 'To the Lighthouse' and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer. Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns. Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present. She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father's death two years later brought a complete mental collapse, and she was briefly institutionalised. Somehow, she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of "stream of consciousness". Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many ways to this day. Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased. Until on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself. Her body was not recovered until the 18th April. She was 59.She left behind a note which read in part:?"Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do".1 - Virginia Woolf - A Short Story Collection Volume 2 - An Introduction2 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf3 - Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf 4 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf5 - An Unwritten Novel by Virginia Woolf6 - The Lady in the Looking Glass by Virginia Woolf | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Herbert George Wells was born on September 21st, 1866 at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, Kent. He was the youngest of four siblings and his family affectionately knew him as 'Bertie'. The first few years of his childhood were spent fairly quietly, and Wells didn't display much literary interest until, in 1874, he accidentally broke his leg and was left to recover in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. Through these Wells found he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence by exploring the new worlds he encountered in these books. From these humble beginnings began a career that was, after several delays, to be seen as one of the most brilliant of modern English writers. Able to write comfortably in a number of genres he was especially applauded for his science fiction works such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds but his forays into the social conditions of the times, with classics such as Kipps, were almost as commercially successful. His short stories are miniature masterpieces many of which bring new and incredible ideas of science fiction to the edge of present day science fact. Wells also received four nominations for the Nobel Prize in LiteratureDespite a strong and lasting second marriage his affairs with other women also brought the complications of fathering other children. His writings and work against fascism, as well as the promotion of socialism, brought him into increasing doubts with and opposition to religion. His writings on what the world could be in works, such as A Modern Utopia, are thought provoking as well as being plausible, especially when viewed from the distressing times they were written in.His diabetic condition pushed him to create what is now the largest Diabetes charity in the United Kingdom. Wells even found the time to run twice for Parliament.It was a long, distinguished and powerfully successful career by the time he died, aged 79, on 13th August 1946.1 - H G Wells - A Short Story Collection Volume 2 - An Introduction2 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 1 by H G Wells3 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 2 by H G Wells4 - The Stolen Bacillus by H G Wells5 - The Cone by H G Wells6 - The Magic Shop by H G Wells | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire on 27th July 1853.His father died when he was 13 and life was then often struck with bouts of poverty, which resulted in his education being somewhat erratic. A spell in exile at 23 was followed by another as the politics of the times opposed his volatile but heart-felt passions.Writing was also coming to the fore and in 1879 his debut short story telling of a young Narodnik searching for social and spiritual identity, was published.In 1881, Korolenko refused to swear allegiance to the new Russian Tsar and was again exiled, this time much farther afield. He spent the next three years doing manual work, but took time to study local customs and history. These impressions in exile provided rich material for his writings.In 1885 he was allowed to settle in Nizhny, where again he repeatedly questioned the authorities. That same year 'Makar's Dream' established his literary reputation and was part of his first collection 'Sketches and Stories', the following year.In the early 1890's when famine struck Central Russia, he went to work on relief missions, collecting donations, supervising the delivery and distribution of food, opening 45 free canteens, all this while writing the graphic reports that would later be published as 'In the Year of Famine' in 1893.By 1896 despite some psychological disorders, he was well regarded amongst Russian writers and was even a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Throughout his writing career Korolenko was a staunch advocate of human rights, putting that sacred activity above what he called his 'part-time-writing'.In the Revolutionary year of 1905, under his editorship, Russkoye Bogatstvo published the Manifest by the Petersburg Soviet of the Workers' deputies. Korolenko was now repeatedly harassed by the authorities, had his flat raided many times and materials confiscated.As a lifetime opponent of Tsarism, he guardedly welcomed the Revolution of 1917. Once the nature of Bolshevism was established, he soon started to criticize it. During the Russian Civil War that ensued, he condemned both the Red Terror and the White Terror. Despite suffering from a progressive heart disorder, he collected food packages for children in famine-stricken Moscow and Petrograd as well as organised orphanages and shelters for the homeless. Vladimir Korolenko died in Poltava, Ukraine, of the complications of pneumonia on 25th December 1921.

Genres: Psychological
Publisher's Summary:
Footloose and broke, the unnamed narrator of Gone Tomorrow hops on a plane without asking questions when his director friend offers him a role in a film set in Colombia. But from the moment he arrives at the airport in Bogotá, only to witness a policeman beat a beggar half to death, it becomes clear that this will not be the story of gritty bohemians triumphing against the odds. The director, Paul Grosvenor, seems more interested in manipulating his cast than in shooting film. The cult star, Irma Irma, is a vamp too bored and boring to draw blood. And the beautiful, nymph-like Michael Simard doesn't seem to be putting out. Meanwhile, the film's shady financier is sleeping with his mother, while a serial killer skulks about the area killing tourists. Everything comes to a head when the carnaval celebration begins. But once the fiesta is over, all that's left are ghostly memories and the narrator's insistence on telling the tale. 'Unlike the majority of pointedly AIDS-era novels,' writes Dennis Cooper, 'Gone Tomorrow is neither an amoral nostalgia fest nor a thinly veiled wake-up call hyping the religion of sobriety. It's a philosophical work devised by a writer who's both too intelligent to buy into the notion that a successful future requires the compromise of collective decision and too moral to accept bitterness as the consequence of an adventurous life.' | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman was born in Randolph, Massachusetts on the 31st October 1852 to parents who were strict and orthodox Congregationalists.When she was a teenager the family moved to Brattleboro, Vermont and it was there she finished her education and began writing verse and stories for children.When the family's dry-goods store closed in 1873 the family, now impoverished, returned to Randolph where her mother was to die mother three years later.She published 'The Ghost Story' in 1881 after it won a short story competition. With elements of the supernatural and domestic realism she had hit upon a solid formula for success.Two years later her father died and with no immediate family and only a small estate she now committed to writing full-time to secure an income. For the times it was a brave move but her undoubted talent meant success would follow.Over her career she published more than two dozen volumes of short stories and novels and is most well-known for 'A New England Nun'. Her works were mainly set in New England and many of her female characters are strong and assertive, challenging contemporary stereotypes over their then roles, values and relationships in society. As a feminist she was keen to engage her audience in a discussion about the lack of control women had over many issues including the family finances.A meeting with the younger Dr. Charles Manning Freeman began a slow, decade long, courtship that endured many obstacles and delays until they eventually married on New Years Day, 1902. They built a home in Metuchen, where Mary was something of a local celebrity. Sadly her husband suffered from alcoholism and addiction to sleeping powders, fast horses and was also prone to womanizing. He was committed to the New Jersey State Hospital for the Insane and with that the couple separated. After his death in 1923, he left his estate to his chauffeur and one dollar to Mary. On 13th March 1930, Mary E Wilkins Freeman suffered a fatal heart attack in Metuchen. She was 77. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Israel Zangwill was born in London on 21st January 1864, to a family of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire. Zangwill was initially educated in Plymouth and Bristol. At age 9 he was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London. Zangwill excelled here. He began to teach part-time at the school and eventually full time. Whilst teaching he also studied with the University of London and by 1884 had earned his BA with triple honours in philosophy, history, and the sciences.His writing earned him the sobriquet "the Dickens of the Ghetto" primarily based on his much lauded novel 'Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People' in 1892 and its glimpse of the poverty-stricken life in London's Jewish quarter.As a writer he was keen to reflect on his political and social outlooks. His simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. His mystery work, 'The Big Bow Mystery' (1892) was the first locked room mystery novel. Zangwill was also involved with narrowly focused Jewish issues as an assimilationist, an early Zionist, and later a territorialist. In the early 1890s he joined the Lovers of Zion movement in England. In 1897 he joined Theodor Herzl (considered the father of modern political Zionism) in founding the World Zionist Organization. Zangwill quit the established philosophy of Zionism when his plan for a homeland in Uganda was rejected and founded his own organisation; the Jewish Territorialist Organization. Its stated goal was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever territory in the world could be found for them. Amongst the challenges in his life he found time to write poetry. He had translated a medieval Jewish poet in 1903 and his volume 'Blind Children' in 1908 was well received. 'The Melting Pot' in 1909 made Zangwill's name as an admired playwright. When the play opened in Washington D.C., former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play." Israel Zangwill died on 1st August 1926 in Midhurst, West Sussex. | |||

Publisher's Summary:
Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.Within these ten stories our authors including Edgar Allan Poe, H G Wells, Guy de Maupassant and a host of others demonstrate the power and the motivation that revenge demands. Yes, the pen is mightier and more brutal than the sword.01 - The Top 10 - Revenge - An Introduction02 - Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F Scott Fitzgerald03 - The Cone by H G Wells04 - The Hand by Guy de Maupassant05 - The Cask of Amontillardo by Edgar Allan Poe06 - The Signal by Vsevolod Garshin07 - The Caballero's Way by O Henry08 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon09 - The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky by Stephen Crane10 - The Scapegoat by Paul Laurence Dunbar11 - A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell | |||
