Synopsis

In "Late & Soon," E. M. Delafield deftly explores the intricate dynamics of human relationships and the passage of time through a narrative that blends introspection with engaging dialogue. The novel, written in a style marked by Delafield's characteristic wit and keen observation, reflects the societal mores of the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I England, it captures the delicate balance of hope and disillusionment as the characters navigate their personal quests for meaning amid the changing landscape of modern life. E. M. Delafield, renowned for her keen insight into the lives of women, draws upon her own experiences as a mother and a writer in this compelling work. Her background, enriched by her education and varied literary influences, informs her nuanced portrayal of character psychology and social commentary. Delafield's keen awareness of the shifting roles of women during her time serves as a lens through which she examines life's transitions and their implications for personal identity and societal expectations. "Late & Soon" is a remarkable literary achievement that resonates with readers seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of life and love. Enter into Delafield's thoughtfully crafted world, where each character's journey invites reflection on the timeless themes of loss, ambition, and the enduring quest for connection.

    Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

    The classic American novel of a philandering, murderous preacher from the national bestselling author of God’s Little Acre.    When preacher Semon Dye moves into the tiny Georgia town of Rocky Comfort, many of its citizens welcome him. After all, the only church in town is being used to store fertilizer. But sermons aren’t the first thing on the mind of the tall, magnetic, and utterly dissolute man. Other callings take priority: women, whiskey, gambling, and hiding from the law. Even as he seduces wives, cheats at cards, and provokes old feuds, Dye manages to cast a dark spell over all the people in Rocky Comfort.   Journeyman is a wicked send-up of religious fervor by an American master of dark political satire. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.
