  • Spire

    Spire

    Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in wkkk.net the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates.'A superb tragedy … the book should become a classic.'

  • The Penelopiad

    The Penelopiad

    Margaret Atwood returns with a shrewd, funny, and insightful retelling of the myth of Odysseus from the point of view of Penelope. Describing her own remarkable vision, the author writes in the foreword, I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself." One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback.

  • The Chronicles of Faerie

    The Chronicles of Faerie

    Dana Faolan, the spunky half-faerie heroine of The Light-Bearer's Daughter, the third book in The Chronicles, has been using her access to the land of Faerie to escape the troubles of being a teenager in a new town. But a dark, mysterious enemy is determined to sever the two worlds forever, thus dooming both. It will take all of Dana's bravery and resourcefulness, plus the help of friends old and new, to save her two homes, especially when it becomes clear that the answer lies in an act of terrible sacrifice. Just as the previous books explored Ireland's rich folkloric history, The Book of Dreams delves into the magical lore of Canada. Melling delivers another "compelling blend of mythology and geography" (School Library Journal, starred review) that will thrill fans of the series.

  • 李鸿章全传:李鸿章回忆录

    李鸿章全传:李鸿章回忆录

    李鸿章,最具争议的晚清重臣之一,开启中国近代化进程的第一人。他是中国近代史上许多屈辱条约的签字者,然而中国近代化的许多“第一”又都与他的名字联在一起,如中国第一家近代化航运企业——轮船招商局、中国第一条自己修筑的商业铁路、中国人自行架设的最早的电报线、中国第一批官派留学生、中国第一支近代化的海军等等。国人骂他,是因为觉得他与晚清的许多耻辱有直接关系;西方人敬他,因为认为他是中国近代史上第一个真正的杰出外交家。《李鸿章全传》的作者之一梁启超曾经说过“天下唯庸人无咎无誉”,而李鸿章在许多略知历史的人眼中肯定是“谤满天下”,果真应该如此吗?
