Book excerpt: Succumb to one churchman's apocalyptic vision in this prophetic tale by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies, William Golding (recorded by Benedict Cumberbatch as an audiobook). There were three sorts of people. Those who ran, those who stayed, and those who were built in. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire. His master builder fearfully advises against it, for the old cathedral was miraculously built without foundations. But Jocelin is obsessed with fashioning his prayer in stone. As his halo of hair grows wilder and his dark angel darker, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, watched over by the gargoyles - until the stone pillars shriek, the earth beneath creeps, and the spire's shadow falls like an axe on the medieval world below ... 'Astounding ... So recklessly beautiful, so sad and so strange ... Holds such a place in my soul that it's more or less a sacred text.' Sarah Perry 'A kind of miracle ... Genius.' Guardian ' Quite simply, a marvel.' NYRB ' Superb ... A classic.' Rebecca West 'A master fabulist .. An iconoclast.' John Fowles 'A visionary ... His masterwork [of] faith, folly and desperate desire ... Golding at his best.' Benjamin Myers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sloan's Constructive Architecture: A Guide to the Practical Builder and Mechanic; In Which Is Contained a Series of Designs for Domes, Roofs and Spires, With a Number of Plates Showing the Interior Construction and Finish of Bays, Window Shutters, Sliding Doors, Etc The idea of publishing a practical work on constructive architecture suggested itself to the author while engaged in the preparation of the material for a large volume of architectural designs. The suggestion was natural. It might well be supposed that, while works on every other branch of science were teeming from the press, a volume specially designed to meet the wants of the practical builder or mechanic would prove no less seasonable than useful. Few works of this character have hitherto been published in this country - and still fewer are pos sessed of any considerable degree of merit. We have been generally accustomed to consider foreign publi cations as our standards; and these, though possessing many things valuable in themselves, are yet not well adapted - as they were not designed - to elucidate methods of practice which are, to a considerable extent, local and peculiar. In fact, owing to the Spirit of improvement and invention which has of late characterized this branch of mechanics among us, many even of the terms in general acceptance a few short years ago have become obsolete, while numerous little methods and appliances are in every-day use, of which no mention can be found in the most recent of European authorities. It will be seen that, in the classification of our subjects, we have aimed at preserving some degree of systematic arrangement. Commencing with domes, we have presented in natural succession numerous examples of forms generally esteemed the most useful in Constructive Carpentry. These are original and eminently practical. There has been no straining after efi'ect. Everything presented has been selected and illustrated solely on account of its practicability and intrinsic usefulness. Our numerous roof examples are of simple yet reliable construction and tested capability. The examples in Joinery, which succeed, contain and are suggestive of many new ideas. And to the illustration of those beautiful and unique creations of the ancients - the Five Orders - on which all that pertains to the builder's art is founded, we have devoted much more space than is usually given in works of similar character and pretension. Fully impressed with the importance of this subject to all connected with or engaged in the art of building, we have chosen our examples from the most celebrated and beautiful specimens of antiquity, and presented them, we trust, in a style of art commensurate with the interest they possess, and the intrinsic beauty of their several proportions.
