Sinossi

Anthony Trollope's "Complete Novels" showcases a remarkable tapestry of Victorian society, woven with astute social commentary, intricate characterizations, and engaging narratives. Spanning a career marked by prolific output, Trollope's novels explore themes of ambition, class, and morality, often within the framework of the emerging modern world. His distinctive narrative voice, distinguished by its satirical edge and keen psychological insight, invites readers into the lives of his multifaceted characters, illuminating the complexities of their desires and dilemmas against a backdrop of the evolving English landscape. Trollope, a member of the upper-middle class born in 1815, drew upon his experiences in a variety of professions'Äîincluding the Post Office, parliamentary life, and travel'Äîfor inspiration within his works. His candid portrayals of the human condition reflect both personal experiences and keen observations of the societal shifts during the Victorian era. Notably, his use of serialized storytelling not only shaped his narrative technique but also reflected the demands and expectations of an ever-growing readership. For readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of Victorian literature and society, "Complete Novels" offers an invaluable resource. Trollope's incisive critiques and relatable characters resonate across time, making this collection essential for both scholars and new readers alike who wish to grasp the intricate interplay of social forces at work during his time.

    Mark Twain: THE DIARIES OF ADAM...

    Mark Twain wrote these two diaries, or rather as he insists, 'translated them from the original manuscripts', late in his writing career. The freshness, wonder and excitement of exploring a new world permeates Eve's thoughts as she takes great joy in her very existence and loves everything about it. To me this is obviously a posthumous love-letter to Twain's wife Olivia Langdon Clemens, or Livy, who died in June 1904, but others may disagree. Adam's diary is different and he comes across as a somewhat surly person who just wants to be alone and think his thoughts. he is also not very bright. How the two finally come together is what makes these stories so wonderful and expresses the love between a husband and wife. They were written as two separate works but fit together so well I have combined them into one here. -

    In these fraught times, Theo Fennell's second collection of anecdotes, The Glory Years (More Chapters of Accidents) comes as a welcome antidote. 
    Following on from his first collection, I Fear For This Boy (Some Chapters of Accidents) he relates, in hilarious detail, some of the more humiliating and hysterical episodes from a life lived between the fast lane and the hard shoulder. 
    It is that modern rarity, a book that is cheerful, sympathetic and genuinely laugh out loud funny.. 
    Calamitous driving disasters, letting Hollywood down, a cringe-worthy attempted pick-up, unfortunate sporting catastrophes, Theo's canvas of chapters of accidents never fails to entertain and lift the spirits - there but for the grace of God... 
    His first collection, I Fear For This Boy, is a much-loved bestseller and won plaudits for both its humour and its humanity. The Glory Years is another treat in store.

    A weird, wild ride across non-narrative vignettes and dryly funny aphorisms exploring the shared intensity of violence and the erotic. 
     
     
     
    As if hauled up squirming from the bowels of the internet, Sex Goblin metabolizes sex writing, popular culture, and autofiction to present the real and the imagined as equally surreal possibilities. In the narrator's childlike voice, all things become both mundane and strange—a child and their dog fused after a car accident, moments of tenderness amidst frat hazing, witches, and hiking accidents. At turns charming and bizarre, Sex Goblin channels sexual violence through the lens of the absurd to alchemize shame and abuse into something that registers differently than trauma. Sex Goblin is a barely factual but deeply felt field guide to relationships and relatability. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
