  Cool Air - From their pens to...

  H P Lovecraft

  Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural.  
  Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.  
  As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities.  
  Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. 
  Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.

  A Raw Youth

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  "I have a secret power... my idea is to become a Rothschild."
  
  Twenty-year-old Arkady Dolgoruky is the "raw youth"—an illegitimate son caught between two worlds. Armed with a secret "idea" to achieve absolute independence through wealth, he travels to St. Petersburg to confront his biological father, the charismatic yet destructive aristocrat Versilov. What follows is a whirlwind of blackmail, underground gambling dens, and ideological warfare. Arkady must navigate a society where old traditions are crumbling and new, dangerous "ideas" are taking root, all while trying to uncover the truth about the man who gave him life but denied him a name.
  
  The Psychology of the Underground: In Arkady, Dostoevsky creates one of his most complex protagonists—a young man who is simultaneously arrogant, naive, deeply hurt, and fiercely intelligent. The novel captures the "formlessness" of youth and the desperate desire to find a "Great Idea" to live by. It is a precursor to the modern coming-of-age story, stripped of sentimentality and replaced with raw, nervous energy.
  
  A Mirror of a Changing Nation: A Raw Youth is Dostoevsky's most direct exploration of the disintegration of the Russian family and, by extension, the Russian state. Through the lens of Arkady's "accidental family," the novel examines the loss of spiritual unity and the rise of the individual. It is a gripping mystery, a philosophical treatise, and a vivid portrait of a society on the brink of a radical transformation.
  
  Discover the man behind the mask. Purchase "A Raw Youth" today and experience Dostoevsky's most underrated and energetic classic.

  The Episode in Room 222 - Short...

  Arnold Bennett

  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.
