  One unemployed factory worker has nothing left to lose. Paris is in danger! 
  When Pierre, a desperate laborer cast aside by society, decides to poison the city's water supply with a deadly plague, he sets in motion a disaster that no government, army, or scientist can contain. As disease tears through the French capital, the City of Light descends into fear, violence, and political upheaval. 
  Behind barricades and quarantine lines, revolutionaries battle the wealthy, old alliances collapse, and ordinary people are forced to decide what they will sacrifice to survive. What began as a single act of revenge soon becomes a ruthless struggle over who will control the future of a dying city. 
  First published in 1928, I Burn Paris is Bruno Jasieński's controversial dystopian classic. Banned in France soon after publication, the novel combines political satire, speculative fiction, and social commentary in a story that remains as unsettling today as it was nearly a century ago. 
  Paris was built over centuries. It may only take days to destroy it.

  The culmination of Jane Austen's genius, a sparkling comedy of love and marriageBeautiful, clever, rich and single Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

  Room For One - From their pens...

  Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
  This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
  When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
  In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
  Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.
