Sinopse

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.

    Bob and Brigit, a Canadian couple, have managed to screw up their previously successful lives when a wild investment in GoldRush, a mining company, lands the family in deep debt. Brigit is a heroine through it all, we might say a heroine-martyr. The debt paid off, and Brigit persuades Bob they need to hike the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail. Bob is all up for some European sophistication and good times. Grand idea, but if crossing mountain passes, sleepless hours in noisy hostels and getting separated on the trail were their only challenges, they would surely have pulled through, but now, they must deal with old and new secrets that the trail churns up. 
    There is energy and humour and lessons learnt, often in unexpected ways, from other pilgrims, local people, monks, nuns and history. Pardon my Camino is a thoughtful and humorous, better-late-than-never coming-of-age story, that will keep you laughing, concerned, engaged, and entertained and carry you off on an adventure in Spain to follow the trail.

    Reality is breaking, verse is to blame, and Oscar Teabag-Dooven is absolutely the wrong cat to fix it.  
    Oscar never meant to get tangled in a plot involving forbidden vaults, exploding cafés and an ex-poet turned reality-warping megalomaniac. But here he is, paws-deep in syllables and sabotage, trying to stop a transformation that could obliterate everything.  
    Joined by Tabby Miss Cakes, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, they become the most unlikely duo to save reality. As powerful poets conspire to re-scribe the world itself, they’re the only hope against a conspiracy that threatens to plunge civilization into an Armageddon that makes Bedlam of the second Dooven book look like a good way to cook eggs.  
    Hilariously deadpan, wildly inventive and threaded with unexpected poignancy, When Fear Is Not Afraid launches the Velvet Paw of Asquith’s Morigan Tetralogy with flair, fire and masses of confusion.  
    Welcome back to the New Fable fiction genre, where fluffy just got even dangerouser.

    This thrilling, unpredictable, yet sometimes hilarious quest, takes you from the fashionable London restaurant scene to the wild untamed jungles of the Cardamom Mountains, where an English baker and a Cambodian refugee search for a missing family and try to find a mythical plant, source of an incredible and unique spice. 
    Ben Bakewell is the Master Pâtissier at one of London’s most prestigious restaurants. 
    Better known as Cake, he befriends Ravuth, a refugee from the killing fields of Cambodia who fled to England in the 1970’s as the Khmer Rouge ravished his country. 
    As a youngster, Ravuth stumbled across an unknown plant, the source of an incredible and unique spice. 
    Separated from his family by the Khmer Rouge, and having spent the majority of his life trying to trace them, Ravuth returns to Cambodia with Cake to seek the rare plant and find his missing loved ones. 
    Arriving in Cambodia, they team up with a disgraced ex-DEA agent bent on revenge and needs to find the plant for purposes that are far more sinister. 
    They furrow into the deepest parts of the untamed, unforgiving, Cardamom jungle where they barely come out alive. Will they find Ravuth’s family and the amazing Spice
