Download or read book Irretrievable written by Theodor Fontane and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opposites attract, and Helmut Holk and Christine Arne, the appealing married couple at the center of this engrossing book by one of Germany’s greatest novelists, could not be less alike. Christine is a serious soul from a devout background. She is brooding and beautiful and devoted to her husband and their two children. Helmut is lighthearted and pleasure-loving and largely content to defer to his wife’s deeper feelings and better wisdom. They live in a beautiful large house overlooking the sea, which they built themselves, and have been happily married for twenty-three years—only of late a certain tension has crept into their dealings with each other. Little jokes, casual endearments, long-meditated plans: they all hit a raw nerve. How a couple can slowly drift apart, until one day they find themselves in a situation which is nothing they ever wished for but from which they cannot go back, is at the heart of this timeless story of everyday life. Theodor Fontane’s great gift is to tell the story effectively in his characters’ own words, listening to how they talk and fail to talk to each other, watching them turn away from their own true feelings as much as from each other. Irretrievable is a nuanced, affectionate, enormously sophisticated, and profoundly humane reckoning with the blindness of love.

Download or read book Thyra written by Robert Ames Bennet and published by . This book was released on 1901 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review by Darius M. Klein: "A Classic of the Genre" is how Jessica Salmonsen has described this work. Robert Ames Bennet was primarily a writer of Westerns, but also wrote two Lost Race romances, one of which is "Thyra: A Romance of the Polar Pit." The plot concerns a group of explorers who fly in a balloon to the North Pole, where they discover, via an opening, that the earth is indeed hollow. Once inside the earth they encounter Viking and Neanderthal communities, along with survivals of Mesozoic megafauna. "Thyra" manages to intertwine the Utopian Lost Race and Lost World subgenres into a single, action-packed plot which never meanders or digresses. The first Viking community upon which the heroes stumble after they enter the bowels of the Earth (and where they find the eponymous heroine) is an unlikely Christian-Socialist Utopia. As they penetrate further into the Earth's interior, they encounter those Vikings who have given themselves over to idolatry and human sacrifice, along with a community of stereotypically aggressive and bestial Neanderthals. At the novel's climax, they have a perilous close encounter with some demonic prehistoric reptiles in the Hela Pool (a particularly well-written scene). The copy of this work which I obtained is a photocopy of the microfilm of the original 1901 edition, which has delightfully quaint illustrations; I don't know if they have been reproduced in the "Lost Race and Adult Fantasy Fiction" series' edition. Mr. Bennet's other Lost Race Romance, "The Bowl of Baal," also combines Lost Race and Lost World motifs, and is recommended here. Of the two, however, "Thyra" is the better.

With a cold, cruel king on the throne, and the battle with demons ever worsening, the weight he bears is crushing. When he finds his beloved cousin brutally murdered, it is one more problem threatening to break him. The very last thing he expects or needs is the prickly necromancer that the Goddess herself bids him cooperate with to solve the mysterious murder. A man who communes with the dead… Koray has been alone all his life, cursed since he was young to be a necromancer, a branch of magic long considered an abomination, forcing him and the other necromancers to live apart, subject to abuse and other cruelties. When he is bid by the Goddess to journey to the royal castle, he wants no part of it—and he especially wants nothing to do with the loud, overbearing Paladin he's supposed to cooperate with. Secrets that threaten to tear a kingdom apart… It doesn't take long for them to realize that solving the mystery of the murder will be the easy part, and that if they cannot uncover secrets old and new, and overcome entrenched prejudices and misunderstandings, it's the whole kingdom that will suffer for their failure.
