Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch

P. G. Wodehouse

"A rather awkward situation, if you know what I mean..."
Bertie Wooster is in a positively radiant mood—which, as any seasoned observer will confirm, is exactly when things begin to go wrong in earnest. This time, the trouble involves a fearsome nerve specialist, a hopeless misunderstanding about cats, and a luncheon that threatens to seriously complicate Bertie's life as a free and easy gentleman about town.
In Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch, the usual order of things—logic, confidence, and common sense—quietly excuses itself from the room. What remains is a trail of elegant misunderstandings, impeccable English, and the unmistakable scent of a very polite disaster in the making.
While Bertie flounders under Sir Roderick's steely gaze, the incomparable Jeeves is already several moves ahead. It is a masterclass in the delicate art of surviving high society while appearing completely untroubled by it.
A sparkling example of P.G. Wodehouse at his finest: light, elegant, and irresistibly funny. The perfect companion for a spring morning in Mayfair.
In short: lunch is served. Reason is optional.

Metropolis

Thea von Harbou

This book is not of today or of the future. It tells of no place. It serves no cause, party or class. It has a moral which grows on the pillar of understanding: The mediator between brain and muscle must be the Heart. — Thea von Harbou, in the novel's original epigraph Originally published in German in 1925, this expressionist epic tells a story about class difference and love in a city that boasts technological growth at the expense of exploited laborers, contending with the relationship between advances in technology and social progress. Written in tandem with the 1927 science-fiction film of the same name, which was directed by Thea von Harbou's husband Fritz Lang, the story, through both the novel and the film, has inspired and influenced countless works of art, creating a legacy that extends across the science-fiction genre and beyond it.
