Synopsis

Call me Ishmael. With those three words, one of literature's most extraordinary voyages begins. Aboard the whaling ship Pequod, Captain Ahab drives his crew toward a confrontation with the great white whale that took his leg — a creature he has elevated from animal to symbol, from adversary to obsession. Melville's novel is many things at once: a thrilling sea adventure, a precise and strange encyclopaedia of the whaling industry, a philosophical meditation on fate and free will, and an anatomy of obsession so total it becomes indistinguishable from madness. Ahab's monomaniacal quest pulls every man on the ship into its gravity, until the hunt for one creature becomes a reckoning with the indifference of the universe itself. Vast, digressive, and magnificent, this is the great American novel that America spent decades learning to read.

    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.

    “Extraordinarily beautiful . . . [Like] a dream from which we awake inspired to look more attentively at the world.”—Francine Prose, The New York Times Book ReviewA journey to Acapulco gradually becomes a descent into the underworld. An elderly South American writer instructs a protégé in the subterfuges of entering work for provincial literary prizes. A litany unfolds, offering sixty-nine reasons why not to dance with Pablo Neruda. “The melancholy folklore of exile,” as Roberto Bolaño once put it, pervades the fourteen haunting stories of Last Evenings on Earth. Set in the Chilean exile diaspora of Latin America and Europe, and peopled by Bolaño’s beloved “failed generation,” this collection was the first to introduce the English-speaking world to Bolaño’s immeasurable gifts as a short-story writer.
