  Charles Pooter, a City clerk of no importance whatever, keeps a diary: the tradesmen are insolent, his son is a disappointment, his jokes are unappreciated, and he has just painted the bath red. The Grossmith brothers wrote it for Punch in 1888 — George was the star comedian of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas — and invented the suburban Everyman that English comedy has been rewriting ever since.

  Cup of Gold - A Life of Henry...

  “There was no desire in him for a state or condition, no picture in his mind of the thing to be when he had followed his longing; but only a burning and a will overpowering to journey outward and outward after the earliest risen star.”  
  John Steinbeck’s first novel, and his only work of historical fiction, is loosely inspired by Sir Henry Morgan, the infamous pirate of the 1650s and 60s. Captain Morgan was a legendary and notorious man who struck terror into the hearts of men, in service of his personal ambitions. He has become obsessed with two thoughts: the beautiful and mysterious woman known as La Santa Roja, and to conquer Panama City (the titular Cup of Gold) away from Spain. 
  Unique in Steinbeck’s oeuvre, this swashbuckling tale is both a historical and fantastical retelling of the life of this legendary Welsh pirate.  
  Featuring an introduction written and read by Stefan Rudnicki
