Description du produit

This rare and seminal science fiction novel (originally published in 1905 as LIEUT. GULLIVER JONES: HIS VACATION, predating Burroughs's Barsoom books by several years) has been unavailable in hardcover for years. It's a book necessary to any scholarly study of the history of science fiction; it's also a heck of a fun novel. Highly recommended. (This jacketless hardcover is intended for the library trade.)

Description du produit

Flappers and Philosophers was F. Scott Fitzgerald's initial encore--his first collection of short fiction, published in 1920 to capitalize on the success of This Side of Paradise, the novel that had made him famous at the age of twenty-three. Flappers and Philosophers contains some of Fitzgerald's best early stories: "The Offshore Pirate," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Ice Palace," and "Benediction." In these narratives Fitzgerald presented his prototypical Jazz-Age heroines, beautiful and willful young women who later became trademarks of his fiction. This Cambridge Edition contains fully reedited texts, a scholarly introduction, textual apparatus and facsimilies of working drafts and tearsheets.

Description du produit

In Greenmantle (1916), a classic tale of espionage and adventure, Richard Hannay, hero of The Thirty-Nine Steps, travels across war-torn Europe on the trail of a German plot and an Islamic Messiah. He is joined by three more of Buchan's heroes: Peter Pienaar, the old Boer scout; John S. Blenkiron, the American determined to fight the Kaiser; and Sandy Arbuthnot--Greenmantle himself--a character modelled on Lawrence of Arabia. Together they move in disguise through Germany to Constantinople and the Russian border in order to face their enemies: the grotesque Stumm and the evil femme fatale Hilda von Einem.

Description du produit

The heavy knocker fell again and again and again. Between the knocking there was a sound like the roaring of lions. Husband and wife stared at one another with white faces. Firmin picked up his gun with trembling hands, and the movement seemed to set his teeth chattering. They chattered like castanets.

Description du produit

1898. Doyle, the English novelist best known for his Sherlock Holmes detective books, also wrote historical novels. A Desert Drama first appeared in serial form. The book begins: The public may possibly wonder why it is that they have never heard in the papers of the fate of the passengers of the Korosko. In these days of universal press agencies, responsive to the slightest stimulus, it may well seem incredible that an international incident of such importance should remain so long chronicle. Suffice it that there were very valid reasons, both of a personal and political nature, for holding it back. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Description du produit

Charles Dickens’s satirical masterpiece, The Pickwick Papers, catapulted the young writer into literary fame when it was first serialized in 1836–37. It recounts the rollicking adventures of the members of the Pickwick Club as they travel about England getting into all sorts of mischief. Laugh-out-loud funny and endlessly entertaining, the book also reveals Dickens’s burgeoning interest in the parliamentary system, lawyers, the Poor Laws, and the ills of debtors’ prisons. As G. K. Chesterton noted, “Before [Dickens] wrote a single real story, he had a kind of vision . . . a map full of fantastic towns, thundering coaches, clamorous market-places, uproarious inns, strange and swaggering figures. That vision was Pickwick.”
