Sinossi

The Complete Novels of Anthony Trollope encapsulates the rich tapestry of Victorian society through its intricate narratives and robust character development. Trollope's literary style, characterized by a blend of realism and keen psychological insight, draws readers into the lives of well-drawn characters often navigating the complexities of love, ambition, and social class. This comprehensive collection showcases Trollope's mastery of the serialized novel, enriched by his keen observations of the nuances of human relationships and institutional critique, particularly notable in works like "The Chronicles of Barsetshire" and "The Palliser Novels." Anthony Trollope, a prominent figure in the Victorian literary canon, was shaped by his experiences in a family of modest means and his professional career as a postal service worker. His keen insights into the social fabric of his time stem from both his personal struggles and a profound understanding of the bureaucratic systems he observed. Trollope's unique ability to fuse personal narrative with broader societal themes reflects his commitment to grappling with the moral and ethical dilemmas of the period. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in the human condition through the lens of Victorian values will find The Complete Novels of Anthony Trollope an indispensable addition to their literary repertoire.

    Terry Randall, a former actor and TV writer, recounts his extraordinary journey through a humorous lens, sharing his repressed memories of paranormal encounters. From childhood ghost stories and alien abductions to the development of telepathic abilities, Randall's narrative challenges conventional reality, offering an amusing yet thought-provoking exploration of a larger, unseen world. His experiences raise profound questions about human potential, spiritual growth, and our place in the universe. 
      
    Primarily set in North-West England, the accounts focus on Randall's childhood and young adulthood. The time period spans from the late 1950s to the early 2000s, providing a backdrop of societal changes and evolving perspectives on paranormal phenomena. The atmosphere moves between the mundane reality of everyday life and inexplicable occurrences, creating a stark contrast that mirrors the dissonance between Randall's experiences and a consensus worldview. 
      
    His journey also explores the psychological impact of trauma around the retrieval of repressed memories. A reflection on the process of spiritual awakening, where paranormal experiences lead to a deeper understanding of the self. It challenges readers to smile whilst considering a broader perspective that invites introspection and self-discovery.

    ***MATURE AUDIENCE*** 
    Living Dead Lovers READ BY THE AUTHOR. 
    Living Dead Lovers follows the life and times of famed psychic-medium, half-Romani gypsy, Valentina ‘Cabbage’ Moone, from her mute infancy trawling the roads of Europe to a fiery-tongued, hard-drinking, speed-loving clairvoyant with a complete disregard for human life, including her own of late… 
    Psychic medium Cabbage brings forth more than she can chew with womanizing dead racing-car driver, Marty ‘Magma’ Molloy, who doesn’t want to give up the chase. 
    A twisted love affair never meant to be. Necrophilia: that’s what the sceptical call it. Romantics call it the yin-yang love between being and human being, light and, oh, so very dark. 
    And her guardian angel Mr. Brick Shithouse makes it even more complicated...

    "Here inside of my second book, you will hear more stories from the gallery of my life. I am a special gentleman from Southern California living with disabilities - I was diagnosed with both cerebral palsy and scoliosis as a toddler. I am a writer who uses an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) device to speak. I wrote this sequel so that I could share more of my life with you, chronicling events from shortly after my high school graduation in 1991 all the way up to my 40th birthday in 2010. To fully appreciate my story, you'll need to read my first book "The Life of Alberto (Volume One)" so that you may follow my steps from the beginning. This second volume of my autobiography will take you through many of the humorous and memorable moments of my adult life. I am dedicating this book in loving memory of my father, Norm Baston. I hope that you find my experience as wonderful as I have. -Alberto Baston"

    From iconic tortured artist/everyman Charles Bukowski, Hollywood is the fictionalization of his experience adapting his novel Barfly into a movie by the same name. 
    Henry Chinaski, Bukowski’s alter-ego, is pushed to translate a semi-autobiographical book into a screenplay for John Pinchot.  He reluctantly agrees, and is thrust into the otherworld called Hollywood, with its parade of eccentric and maddening characters: producers, artists, actors and actresses, film executives and journalists.  In this world, the artistry of books and film is lost to the dollar, and Chinaski struggles to keep his footing in the tangle of cons that comprise movie making. 
    Hollywood is Dirty Old Man Bukowski at his most lucid.  It overflows with curses, sex, and alcohol.  And through it all, or from it all, Bukowski finds flashes of truth about the human condition.

    Everybody makes mistakes. Even people as sweet, innocent, and well-behaved as Marlee Sanders. When this cute freshman is hired by her sociology professor to detail his car—and his car happens to be a very expensive sparkle-red Dodge Viper—well, even Marlee can buckle under the strain of temptation!
     
    She just can't help it. She’s just so in love with this car. And she would give just about anything for just one chance to take that beauty out for a spin!
     
    So, after her professor and his two college-age sons, Connor and Evan, go off to play golf, leaving her alone with the car, Marlee gives in to her desire. For the next hour, she is thrilled out of her mind as she cruises along the nearby highways and byways.
     
    Until it starts to rain and snaps Marlee out of her reverie. She hurries back and starts to work on the car...
     
    And not a minute too soon, for, just then, her professor and his sons return home from their rained-out golf game!
     
    And they can plainly see that she’s done very little work on the car. Worse, while she’s in the bathroom, they check the odometer, and—uh, oh—they can also see that, in their absence, Marlee took their prized car for a joyride.
     
    Marlee is in big trouble.
     
    But she has no idea how big until her professor informs her that her punishment will consist of a bare-bottom spanking with all of them watching.
     
    Lying across his knee, Marlee endures the worst humiliation of her life.
     
    Then, even worse, her professor invites Connor and Evan to have a turn. 
     
    But her pain is short-lived, for when Evan has his turn, he can't bring himself to actually spank her—opting instead for gentle caresses and love-pats.
     
    Apparently, Evan is the only one of the three with any measure of compassion, gentleness, and kindness.
     
    And that is precisely why, when everything is all over, he finds himself being rewarded in the most erotically gratifying ways he ever could have imagined!
