Sinossi

In E. V. Lucas's whimsical work, "The Slowcoach," readers embark on a delightful exploration of the leisurely travel and the eccentricities of human nature. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the narrative employs a rich, descriptive prose style that captures the charm and absurdity of the protagonist'Äôs journey. In a world increasingly enamored with rapid progress, Lucas deftly juxtaposes the slow-paced adventure with sharp social commentary, offering insights into the leisurely life'Äôs unexamined pleasures and the poignant moments often overlooked in the rush of contemporary existence. E. V. Lucas, an accomplished author and essayist, was known for his sharp wit and keen observations on society, cultivated through his experiences as a journalist and an editor. His rich background in touring and travel imbues "The Slowcoach" with authenticity, reflecting both his admiration for simplicity and a playful critique of modernity. Lucas's penchant for intertwining humor with philosophical musings is unmistakable throughout the text, making it a reflective yet entertaining read. For those seeking a thoughtful yet entertaining escape, "The Slowcoach" is a captivating invitation to slow down and appreciate the beauty of life'Äôs journey. Lucas invites readers to join him on a path less traveled'Äîone that promises enriching encounters and a deeper understanding of what it means to meander through life.

    The very first sci fi, written at the height of people making stuff up and pretending it was history (looking at you, Herodotus). Nice to see the art of the spoof is so old...A True Story (Ancient Greek: Ἀληθῆ διηγήματα, Alēthē diēgēmata; Latin: Vera Historia or Latin: Verae Historiae), also translated as True History, is a long novella or short novel written in the second century AD by the Syrian author Lucian of Samosata. The novel is a satire of outlandish tales that had been reported in ancient sources, particularly those that presented fantastic or mythical events as if they were true. It is Lucian's best-known work.It is the earliest known work of fiction to include travel to outer space, alien lifeforms, and interplanetary warfare. It has been described as "the first known text that could be called science fiction". However, the work does not fit into typical literary genres: its multilayered plot and its characters have been interpreted as belonging to science fiction, fantasy, satire or parody, and have been the subjects of scholarly debate.- From the wiki:

    Prudence - The Shackleford...

    In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
    Prudence Shackleford had not expected to be a spinster at three and twenty, but unfortunately, as she’d quickly discovered, very few men were prepared to tolerate either her ghoulish sense of humour, or her macabre taste in literature. And those were the ones she’d got as far as holding a conversation with. 
     
    When invited to London by the Duke and Duchess of Blackmore to witness the Coronation of King George IV, she was equal parts horrified and intrigued. Especially after a chance meeting with a Bow Street Runner on the trail of conspirators it was feared were planning to murder the King. 
     
    Jamie Fitzroy had been a Bow Street Runner for five years. In that time he’d risen swiftly up the ranks, gaining a reputation for both ruthlessness and guile. Such were his successes in ridding London's streets of thieves and murderers, his name had become almost legendary. 
     
    But in the wake of the Cato Street Conspiracy, he was now on the trail of a gang intending to assassinate the King during his own Coronation. And with less than two weeks to go, and a London packed to bursting, the stakes had never been higher. 
     
    The last thing he had time for was a russet haired chit who was too ripe and ready by half – even if she did haunt his dreams every night… 
     
    Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...
