  Don Quixote - A masterpiece of...

  Miguel de Cervantes

  What happens when a man reads so many heroic tales of chivalry that he completely loses his mind—and decides to become a knight himself? 
  In the sun-baked, dusty plains of La Mancha, an aging Spanish gentleman casts aside his mundane reality to take up a rusted lance and the self-appointed title of Don Quixote. Believing himself to be a valiant knight-errant in a modern world that has long forgotten the code of chivalry, he sets out on a magnificent, disastrously funny quest. Armed with patched-up ancestral armor, riding a bony nag named Rocinante, and accompanied by his highly pragmatic, profoundly bewildered squire Sancho Panza, Quixote roams the countryside seeking wrongs to right and maidens to rescue. 
  But the world is entirely unready for a knight who sees monstrous giants where there are only windmills, and grand enchanted castles where there are only rundown roadside inns. Every step of their journey is paved with bruised ribs, shattered lances, and absolute comic brilliance as Quixote's soaring, unshakable idealism violently clashes with stark, unapologetic reality. 
  Why you will love this: As the founding pillar of Classic Literature / Satire, this epic parody completely transcends time. Fans of absurdist humor, deeply layered character studies, classic buddy-comedy tropes, and adventurous escapades will find themselves endlessly entertained. Cervantes brilliantly uses comedy to explore the profound tragedy of a man clinging to beautiful, impossible dreams in a cynical world. 
  Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616) was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. Widely regarded as the father of the modern novel, his groundbreaking work fundamentally changed world literature, leaving a legacy of imagination and wit that has inspired generations.

  Souls Belated - From their pens...

  Edith Wharton

  Edith Newbold Jones was born in New York on January 24, 1862.   Born into wealth, this background of privilege gave her a wealth of experience to eventually, after several false starts, produce many works based on it culminating in her Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘The Age Of Innocence’ 
  Marriage to Edward Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years older in 1885 seemed to offer much and for some years they travelled extensively.  After some years it was apparent that her husband suffered from acute depression and so the travelling ceased and they retired to The Mount, their estate designed by Edith.  By 1908 his condition was said to be incurable and prior to divorcing Edward in 1913 she began an affair, in 1908, with Morton Fullerton, a Times journalist, who was her intellectual equal and allowed her writing talents to push forward and write the novels for which she is so well known.  
  Acknowledged as one of the great American writers with novels such as Ethan Frome and the House of Mirth among many.  Wharton also wrote many short stories, including ghost stories and poems which we are pleased to publish.  
  Edith Wharton died of a stroke in 1937 at the Domaine Le Pavillon Colombe, her 18th-century house on Rue de Montmorency in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt.

  Ernest William Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England on 7th June 1866, the third son and youngest of eight children.   
  Although spending most of his life in England and France he spent two years in Australia from 1884 and that experience was to colour and influence much of his written works. 
  His most famous character A. J. Raffles, ‘the gentleman thief’, was published first in Cassell's Magazine during 1898 and was to make him famous across the world as the new century dawned.  
  Hornung also wrote several stage plays and was a gifted poet. 
  Spending time with the troops in WWI he published Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front during 1919, a detailed account of his time there.  This was especially close to his heart as his son, and only child, was killed at the Second Battle of Ypres on 6th July 1915.   
  Ernest William Hornung died in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the south of France on 22nd March 1921.
