  Enoch Arnold Bennett was born on the 27th May 1867 in Hanley, one of the six towns that formed the Potteries and that later joined together to become Stoke-On-Trent.  
  After passing entrance examinations for Cambridge University his solicitor father instead decided that he should work for him, unpaid, in his thriving office.  In the evenings the young Bennett wrote or studied and one skill he developed was Pitman’s shorthand which gave him entrance to a position as a clerk at a solicitor’s office in London.  From there followed various jobs but none seemed to be able to ignite his career as a full-time author. 
  By 1903 he had moved to live in Paris; he was 35, unmarried and keen to settle into his new life.  In 1908 he published his first remarkable novel; ‘Clayhanger’, that drew on his earlier life in the Potteries.   
  A prolific writer he was able to deliver very fine works but also write many that were described as ‘potboilers’.  Despite this disclaimer many were lapped up by an audience eager for his prose and helped turn him into the most financially successful author of the times.    
  As the First World War drew to a close, he was appointed to run the Ministry of Information.  During the 1920s he was reputedly the highest paid literary journalist in the land and continued to write novels, plays and short stories.   
  Arnold Bennett died in his flat at Chiltern Court on the 27th March 1931, from typhoid after drinking water in France on his last holiday.  He was 63.

In the pages that follow, we will delve into the remarkable story of a man whose ideas have left an indelible mark on philosophy, theology, and the way we understand the world. 
  Born in a time of shifting paradigms and profound intellectual exploration, William of Ockham emerged as a beacon of intellectual courage and curiosity. His life's journey takes us through the corridors of medieval thought, where he challenged conventions, questioned established norms, and dared to carve his own path through the complexities of the age. 
  As we embark on this exploration, we'll uncover the threads that wove the fabric of Ockham's life—the circumstances of his birth, the crucible of his upbringing, and the profound influences that shaped his worldview. We'll journey with him through the hallowed halls of academia, where he honed his formidable intellect and developed ground-breaking ideas that continue to resonate to this day. 
  Ockham's journey was not only one of academic pursuits but also a spiritual voyage. His entry into the Franciscan Order added a layer of complexity to his character, intertwining his devotion to religious life with his insatiable thirst for intellectual inquiry. These dual pursuits propelled him into the heart of philosophical and theological discourse, where he contributed to defining debates and daringly challenging established norms.

  P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.   Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including eight short stories from the anthology "My Man, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("My Man Jeeves" also features four stories surrounding Reggie Pepper, an early Bertie Wooster prototype.).  Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

  In 2009 Cristina Nehring's brilliant first book, A Vindication of Love, was featured on the cover of the New York Times Book Review. An important new voice had appeared in American letters. Just as suddenly, Nehring seemed to disappear—only to reemerge like a bolt from the blue. "Now unexpectedly, writes California poet laureate Dana Gioia, "from Paris comes a heartbreaking and tender memoir, The Child Who Never Spoke, that explains her years of silence. These 'lessons in fragility' tell of Nehring's unexpected pregnancy and birth of a 'special child,' a baby girl with Down syndrome in its most extreme form. Forthright, profound, and passionate, this new book is also a vindication of love. Although it tells a story full of sorrow, The Child Who Never Spoke is a not a sad book but a profound and joyous testament to the love between a mother and daughter."
