"Exotic...erotic... Ocean Sea is highly romantic and breathtakingly lyrical."-- The New York Times Book Review With Silk , his first novel to appear in English, Alessandro Baricco immediately proved himself to be a magical storyteller. With Ocean Sea , he has been acclaimed as the successor to Italo Calvino, and a major voice in modern literature. In Ocean Sea , Alessandro Baricco presents a hypnotizing postmodern fable of human malady--psychological, existential, erotic--and the sea as a means of deliverance. At the Almayer Inn, a remote shoreline hotel, an artist dips his brush in a cup of ocean water to paint a portrait of the sea. A scientist pens love letters to a woman he has yet to meet. An adulteress searches for relief from her proclivity to fall in love. And a sixteen-year-old girl seeks a cure from a mysterious condition which science has failed to remedy. When these people meet, their fates begin to interact as if by design. Enter a mighty tempest and a ghostly mariner with a thirst for vengeance, and the Inn becomes a place where destiny and desire battle for the upper hand. Playful, provocative, and ultimately profound, Ocean Sea is a novel of striking originality and wisdom.

Ringfield is a Canadian novel of moral perception and social observation, centred on a figure whose private convictions are tested by community expectation, emotional attachment, and the pressures of place. Harrison writes in a late-Victorian/Edwardian mode: descriptive, earnest, and psychologically attentive, with romance and realism held in productive tension. The book belongs to the formative period of Canadian fiction, when writers sought to render local landscapes and social types as worthy literary subjects. S. Frances Harrison-also known by the pen name Seranus-was a significant Canadian poet, novelist, critic, and composer. Her artistic range helps explain Ringfield's sensitivity to atmosphere, rhythm, and cultural nuance. Deeply engaged with questions of Canadian identity, she often drew upon the country's linguistic, religious, and regional complexities, transforming them into fiction concerned with conscience, belonging, and refinement of character. Readers interested in early Canadian literature, women's authorship, and novels where ethical conflict is inseparable from setting will find Ringfield rewarding. It is especially recommended to those who value reflective prose, historical texture, and fiction that illuminates a nation's emerging literary self-consciousness.

The Man in Ratcatcher, and Other Stories gathers H. C. McNeile's compact tales of intrigue, courage, and social performance, moving between sporting fields, clubland conversation, military memory, and sudden violence. Written in the brisk, idiomatic manner of popular British magazine fiction, the stories prize pace, punch, and the well-timed reversal. Their literary context is the post-Edwardian adventure tradition: masculine, suspenseful, often sardonic, yet attentive to codes of honour, nerve, and class. McNeile, better known by his pen name "Sapper," was a former Royal Engineers officer whose experience in the First World War decisively shaped his fiction. The discipline, danger, camaraderie, and blunt speech of military life inform even his civilian settings. Before and alongside his fame as the creator of Bulldog Drummond, McNeile developed in short fiction a taste for decisive action, psychological testing, and the dramatic exposure of character under pressure. This collection is recommended to readers interested in the origins of the modern British thriller, wartime-inflected storytelling, and the popular fiction that bridged Edwardian adventure and interwar suspense. Though marked by the attitudes of its period, it remains a revealing, energetic portrait of a society negotiating danger, loyalty, and performance.

Facts and Fictions of Life gathers Helen H. Gardener's incisive essays on the social, scientific, and moral assumptions that governed late nineteenth-century American life. Written in a lucid, confrontational prose, the book dismantles inherited "fictions" about women's bodies, intellect, sexuality, marriage, and civic capacity, replacing them with arguments grounded in evidence and ethical reason. It belongs to the literature of freethought, realism, and reform, standing beside feminist polemics that challenged both clerical authority and pseudo-scientific sexism. Gardener, born Alice Chenoweth and later known under her pen name, was a lecturer, novelist, secularist, and suffrage activist whose life placed her at the center of debates over women's legal and intellectual equality. Her exposure to religious orthodoxy, medical misogyny, and public controversies over female education helped shape the book's combative purpose. She wrote not merely as an observer but as a participant in the struggle to redefine womanhood in modern democratic terms. This book is recommended for readers interested in feminist intellectual history, American reform literature, and the rhetoric of social change. It remains compelling for its clarity, courage, and refusal to accept prejudice disguised as truth.

A Scots Quair gathers Lewis Grassic Gibbon's three novels-Sunset Song, Cloud Howe, and Grey Granite-into a sweeping modernist chronicle of Scotland's passage from agrarian tradition to industrial and political modernity. Through the life of Chris Guthrie, rooted in the Mearns yet drawn through marriage, bereavement, town life, and radical struggle, Gibbon fuses lyrical Scots-inflected prose with social realism and symbolic breadth. The trilogy stands beside European interwar fiction in its concern with class, nation, language, and historical rupture. Lewis Grassic Gibbon was the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell, born in 1901 in rural Aberdeenshire. His intimate knowledge of farming communities, his wartime and journalistic experience, and his socialist, internationalist convictions all shaped the trilogy's compassionate but unsentimental vision. Writing in the 1930s, he transformed local speech and memory into a vehicle for modern epic, giving Scottish literature one of its defining twentieth-century works. This trilogy is essential for readers interested in modernism, Scottish identity, women's experience, or the human cost of social change. It rewards attention with unforgettable characters, musical language, and a profound meditation on endurance amid historical upheaval.

A brilliant new work that returns Richard Ford to the hallowed territory that sealed his reputation as an American master: the world of Frank Bascombe, and the landscape of his celebrated novels The Sportswriter, the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner winning Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land. In his trio of world-acclaimed novels portraying the life of an entire American generation, Richard Ford has imagined one of the most indelible and widely discussed characters in modern literature, Frank Bascombe. Through Bascombe-protean, funny, profane, wise, often inappropriate-we've witnessed the aspirations, sorrows, longings, achievements and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century. Now, in Let Me Be Frank with You, Ford reinvents Bascombe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In four richly luminous narratives, Bascombe (and Ford) attempts to reconcile, interpret and console a world undone by calamity. It is a moving and wondrous and extremely funny odyssey through the America we live in at this moment. Ford is here again working with the maturity and brilliance of a writer at the absolute height of his powers.

BY THE AUTHOR OF THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE-WINNER, THE FIVE, THE WOMEN KILLED BY JACK THE RIPPER ' Under her pen, history comes alive' Professor Dame Sue Black 'A fabulous 18th-century tale. Hallie Rubenhold tells it beautifully' Telegraph ' As a historian and storyteller, Rubenhold is in a league of her own' Literary Review _____________ It was the divorce that scandalised Georgian England... She was a spirited young heiress. He was a handsome baronet with a promising career in government. Their marriage had the makings of a fairy tale but ended as one of the most salacious and highly publicised divorces in history. For over two hundred years the story of Lady Worsley, her vengeful husband, and her lover, George Maurice Bisset, lay forgotten. Now Hallie Rubenhold, in her impeccably researched book, throws open a window to a rarely seen view of Georgian England, one coloured by passion, adventure and the defiance of social convention. The Worsley's story, their struggles and outrageous lifestyle, promises to shock even the modern reader.

Napoleon and the Queen of Prussia dramatizes the collision between imperial ambition and patriotic resistance during the Napoleonic domination of Europe, centering on Napoleon's encounter with Queen Louise of Prussia after Jena and Tilsit. Written in the richly theatrical mode of nineteenth-century historical fiction, the novel blends courtly intrigue, sentimental characterization, and political tableau. Its style reflects the Romantic-national tradition, using private emotion to illuminate public catastrophe and making history morally intelligible through vivid scenes and emblematic personalities. L. Mühlbach, the pen name of Clara Mundt, was one of Germany's most prolific historical novelists, renowned for transforming archival and biographical material into accessible narrative drama. Writing in an age shaped by German nationalism, liberal aspiration, and fascination with great historical figures, she found in Queen Louise an ideal subject: a woman whose dignity, suffering, and symbolic patriotism could stand against Napoleon's overwhelming power. This book is recommended to readers interested in historical fiction that treats politics as lived experience rather than abstract event. Admirers of court history, Napoleonic Europe, and strong symbolic heroines will find it an engaging and revealing work.

Middlemarch (Book 8: Sunset and Sunrise), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871.

Dag ouder(s), Dit boek is er voor jullie. Ik onthul geen tienstappenplan richting perfect ouderschap, noch beschrijf ik een weloverwogen strategie om je kinderen te doen gehoorzamen. Wel dopte ik de pen in mijn ervaring als moeder, vrouw en gezinspsychologe om jou te helpen met de zoektocht naar je moeder- of vadergevoel. Ik wil je leren dat gevoel te vertrouwen, zelfs als het indruist tegen adviezen van je omgeving of tegen je eigen constructie van de 'perfecte' ouder. Ik wil tonen dat meeveren met jezelf en de kinderen, in uiteenlopende situaties, meer energie kan opleveren dan krampachtig vastklampen aan rigide regeltjes. Op die basis behandel ik enkele licht ontvlambare gezinsthema's zoals eten, emoties en slapen. Zo is het ok om je kind bij je te laten slapen als dat maar binnen jouw oudergevoel ligt. En of je nu voor kunstvoeding of borstvoeding kiest, zolang dat maar jouw geïnformeerde keuze is. Ik leg uit waarom je emoties, zoals die woedeaanval in de supermarkt, niet zomaar kan wegstraffen of hoe je de machtsstrijd aan de eettafel kan ontmijnen. Eindigen doe ik mijn boek waarmee alles zou moeten beginnen: zelfzorg ofwel het zoeken naar de verbinding met jezelf zodat je weet waar je grenzen liggen. Mild Ouderschap is mijn zachtmoedig maar doortastend pleidooi voor mildheid tegenover jezelf, je kinderen en je omgeving. Haal eruit wat erin zit en wat past voor jou en je gezin. Ik wens je een mooie zoektocht. Liefs, Nina Mouton

15 beautiful embroidery projects from the era of Jane Austen. Jane Austen was as skilful with a needle as she was with a pen. This unique book from Jennie Batchelor and Alison Larkin showcases recently discovered 18th century embroidery patterns expertly repurposed into 15 exciting modern stitching projects. The patterns and projects are brought to life with glimpses into the world of Regency women and their domestic lives by lively historical features, quotes from Jane Austen's letters and novels, enchanting illustrations and inspirational project photography. The book opens with an illustrated introduction on historical embroidery. Next comes the materials and methods section, clearly explaining the key stitches, as well as providing information on threads, fabrics and frames. The practical section includes 15 projects for modern items. The projects are divided into three chapters according to the item the 18th century pattern was originally intended for with patterns for different skill levels: Embroidered Clothes: Dressed to Impress: Projects include Simple Sprig Pattern (Two Ways), Pencil Case, Clutch Purse, Apron, Housewife. Embroidered Accessories: How Do You Like My Trimming?: Projects include Napkin Set, Mobile Phone Pouch, Tablet Sleeve, Jewellery Pouch, Muslin Shawl. Embroidery for the Home: A 'Nest of Comforts': Projects include Tea Box Top, Work Bag, Cushion, Sewing Set, Tablecloth. It is more than likely that Jane herself would have used these very patterns for her own embroidery, and now, with Jennie and Alison's help, readers can stitch-a-long with Jane to make a selection of beautifully embroidered, practical items.

George Eliot's Daniel Deronda is a capacious Victorian novel that interweaves the moral education of its eponymous hero with the tragic self-discovery of Gwendolen Harleth, one of Eliot's most psychologically intricate creations. Moving between English drawing rooms, gambling tables, and Jewish intellectual circles, the novel combines social realism with philosophical inquiry, testing questions of vocation, inheritance, sympathy, and national identity. Its late-Victorian context is crucial: published in 1876, it expands the domestic novel into an ambitious meditation on Judaism, proto-Zionist aspiration, and the ethical demands of modern life. George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, brought to the work a formidable range of learning: biblical criticism, European philosophy, history, and contemporary social thought. Her own position as an intellectually independent woman, religious skeptic, and outsider to conventional respectability sharpened her sensitivity to marginal lives and moral complexity. In Daniel Deronda, her sympathetic study of Jewish culture reflects both scholarly preparation and a profound imaginative effort to enlarge the moral horizons of English fiction. This novel is recommended to readers who value fiction of intellectual depth, psychological subtlety, and ethical seriousness. Though demanding in scope, it rewards attention with unforgettable characters and a vision of human responsibility that remains strikingly modern.

The Diplomatists of Europe is a panoramic study of the statesmen who shaped modern European diplomacy in the age of revolution, empire, and restoration. Combining political biography with historical analysis, Capefigue examines the arts of negotiation, secrecy, balance of power, and dynastic calculation through figures such as Talleyrand, Metternich, and their contemporaries. Its style is elegant, judgmental, and distinctly nineteenth-century, situating diplomacy as both a practical craft and a theatre of intellect, ambition, and national destiny. M. Capefigue, the pen name of Jean-Baptiste-Honoré-Raymond Capefigue, was a prolific French historian and journalist deeply engaged with the political transformations of post-Napoleonic Europe. Writing from within a culture still haunted by the Revolution and the Empire, he brought to his subject a conservative fascination with order, legitimacy, and statecraft. His experience as a commentator on public affairs helps explain the book's sensitivity to the motives, compromises, and reputations of political actors. This volume is recommended to readers interested in diplomatic history, European political culture, and the personalities behind international settlements. It rewards those who enjoy historically informed portraiture and wish to understand how nineteenth-century Europe interpreted its own masters of negotiation.

The Time Machine cemented author H.G. Wells as the father of modern science fiction. In it, the Time Traveller embarks on a staggering journey 800,000 years into the future, where he is propelled to the age of a slowly dying Earth. There he encounters the highly evolved Eloi, as well as the brutish Morlocks who lurk beneath in tunnels. The Time Machine offers a harrowing and penetrating look into a proposed future for mankind, and illuminates its roots in the present. This Essential Classics edition includes a new introduction by Professor Vivian Heller, Ph.D. in literature and modern studies from Yale University. H.G. Wells was an English writer who pioneered the science fiction genre and wrote more than 100 books during his career. The Time Machine, his first novel, brought him instant fame. Wells is known also as a futurist, his works foretelling the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, and nuclear weapons. Vivian Heller received her Ph.D. in English Literature and Modern Studies from Yale University. She is author of Joyce, Decadence, and Emancipation(University of Illinois Press) and of The City Beneath Us (W.W. Norton & Company), a history of the building of the New York City subway system. She is an associate at Columbia's School of Professional Studies and is the writing tutor for the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. She is also a long-standing member of the non-fiction committee of the PEN Prison-Writing Committee, which awards prizes to inmates from across the country. Essential Classics publishes the most crucial literary works throughout history, with a unique introduction to each, making them the perfect treasure for any reader's shelf.

The complete first and second series of Bridget Christie's award-winning series about modern feminism Comedian Bridget Christie noticed that misogyny, like shiny leggings, has made an unexpected comeback. But did it ever really go away? Bridget asks why feminism became a dirty word, and whether the modern British woman needs it. From a smell in a well-known bookshop to a pen designed especially for women, she looks at some of the more ridiculous things associated with being a woman. She ponders women's relationship with their bodies via a lap dance, TOWIE and a fish called Michael, asks who has the best sexism in the world, and discusses why twitter is a sexist's natural habitat. She explains what happens when you wear an 'End FGM' badge on a popular TV show, and tries to find a feminist icon who doesn't want to replace the word 'feminism' with 'bootylicious'. The series' token man Fred MacAulay helps her remember some of the key incidents which brought her to an epiphany and a call to arms. Series 1 of Mind the Gap won the Rose D'Or International Broadcasting Award for Best Radio Comedy 2014 and the Chortle Award for Best Radio Series 2014. Series 2 won the Chortle Award for Best Radio Programme 2015.
