Download or read book Wildspur Manor written by Stephen Walton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empty or abandoned? A dream incarnate or a nightmare in stone? For a young lottery winner with Tourette's, Wildspur Manor is a fantasy fulfilled when he moves in and begins planning renovation work. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be alone, a problem he decides to meet head on with the aid of technology and alcohol. Obsession soon takes a bear hold, not only regarding the house but also a young woman from its past whose life was tragically short. This will lead him down a dangerous path, and ultimately to a possibilty so fantastical that he is sure he must be dreaming... This mystery/fantasy is ultimately a tale of obsession with the past and of one man's desire to experience a time forgotten. With romantic and supernatural overtones, complete at 166,000 words and lightly laced with humour, it should appeal to most audiences.

Download or read book Mysteries and Adventures written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in Great Britain in 1890 by the Walter Scott Company, Mysteries and Adventures collected together seven of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's earliest fictional works. Three years later, two international editions were issued and these featured five additional stories. Conan Doyle was not to profit from any of these ventures as, in order to have the stories carried by popular journals of the day, he had signed over all rights to their owners. Prior to their appearance in book form, several had been printed without credit and were not commonly known to be the work of Conan Doyle. The narratives in Mysteries and Adventures dance confidently across the genres, touching upon colonial life, political upheaval, the supernatural, romance and the furrow he would later plough to great acclaim, crime. These twelve entertaining tales plot Doyle's development from budding young writer to the great author that he quickly became.

Book excerpt: Only the cream of the crop get into ultra-prestigious Modern University, and students are virtually guaranteed powerful and high-paid positions upon graduation. Drinking and sex are allowed, and even encouraged, and everything students need - classrooms, restaurants, shopping, and bars - is self-contained inside the school's fifty-story high-rise tower. But there's a catch. Once you start, you can't drop out or transfer to another school. And behind its glossy exterior, Modern has a terrible secret, a macabre and horrible way of ensuring its students perform to the best of their ability. When one young student, Gary Fort, witnesses the unspeakable truth of the school's "Self-Discipline Plan," he decides to fight back, and the suspense builds until the book's chilling conclusion ... Equal parts campus novel, satire on modern education, and gripping horror story, No Transfer (1967) earned rave reviews from the nation's leading critics. This reprint, the first in half a century, includes a new afterword by the author, who wrote it at age 20 while a student at Michigan State University. "A remarkable first novel . . . shockingly convincing." - The New York Times "Walton is called by his publishers 'a genuine voice of his time' and they claim this novel is already being compared to Lord of the Flies and The Lottery. I don't doubt it a bit." - Arizona Republic "An academic shocker with quite a hook; one reads it in a state of frozen uneasiness. This is a contemporary chiller of and for our time, or just beyond - the achievement tests of 1984?" - Kirkus Reviews "A low-key horror story that satirizes present-day big-university education. This chilling story builds to a strong climax." - Publishers Weekly "Wanta take a 'trip' without LSD? Step right this way, baby . . . To say that this book is a shocker is to low rate it." - American Statesman "Just a note. While reading this one keep in mind that it's fiction." - Boston Globe "Chilling and subtle . . . completely unexpected . . . A half-mad world of the young with an Orwellian flavor and an aura of believability." - Sacramento Bee

Download or read book Lysistrata written by Aristophanes and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Classic Available Again Aristophanes was the greatest writer of ancient Athenian "old comedy," known for its satires of contemporary life and for its broad, often obscene humor. "Lysistrata" was first produced in 411 BC, when the Peloponnesian War had been devastating Greece for 20 years. Most people know the plot: Lysistrata assembles women from all of Greece, and they agree that they will not have sex until the men make peace. Aubrey Beardsley was the greatest and the most controversial Art Nouveau illustrator in England, famous for his illustrations of Mallory's "Morte d'Arthur," Oscar Wilde's "Salome," Pope's "The Rape of the Lock," and for several magazines. Because he was associated with Oscar Wilde, Beardsley lost his job as art editor of a magazine named "The Yellow Book" in 1895, soon after Wilde was arrested for homosexuality. He was approached by Leonard Smithers, a publisher of erotic books, who asked him to illustrate "Lysistrata." His illustrations are very much in the spirit of Aristophanes, as funny as they are obscene. Beardsley converted to Catholicism in 1897, and soon after, he asked Smithers to "destroy all copies of "Lysistrata"" with its "obscene drawings," but Smithers refused. Beardsley died of tuberculosis in 1898, at the age of 26. Smithers initially published "Lysistrata" in a limited edition of one hundred copies. It was reprinted in the 1960s and 1970s, but copies have long been scarce and expensive. Though some may find it offensive, we believe it is valuable to reprint this book, so all the books illustrated by this great artist are readily available.
