  But the next morning, when her completely infuriating postman (who likes to think himself her no.1 literary critic) rings her doorbell, a parcel of poisoned pen-nibs explodes in his face. Forced to confront the fact her correspondence is more RIP than RSVP, Phoebe realises someone must want her dead.

  On his return after six years’ fighting with the Duke of Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars, Colonel Romney Wood, who has just become Lord Heywood, is horrified at the state of the country he left behind, where agricultural labourers are now starving, food shops are bare and Luddites lay waste new agricultural machinery. 
  
   
  Worse still his own estate is almost bankrupt and he has to find something to sell to save it and his loyal staff from penury.
  
   
  He is considerably hampered because his grandfather has legally entailed everything of value onto future generations of Lord Heywoods and so he cannot dispose of virtually anything without the Trustees’ approval, which he knows will not be forthcoming.
  
   
  Scouring Heywood Abbey, his country home, for possible items to sell, he is astonished when he stumbles across something he is soon to prize beyond price – a beautiful, fawn-like young girl with deep blue eyes in a white diaphanous nightgown. 
  
   
  She is an interloper and a runaway, hiding from her wicked uncle, who is forcing her into marriage with a man she despises. 
  
   
  Her name is Lalita. But more than that she will not tell Lord Heywood. 
  
   
  Yet slowly she reveals more of herself to him – and with each revelation the bond between them grows. 
  
   
  And in spite of himself Lord Heywood is falling in love. They are two people with nothing left to lose and maybe only love to win.

  What happens when reason is swallowed by absurdity? 
  In The Crocodile, Fyodor Dostoevsky blends satire and social critique in one of his most unusual and humorous works. The story follows Ivan Matveich, a government official who, while visiting an exhibition, is suddenly swallowed whole by a crocodile. Strangely, he remains alive inside the creature and refuses to be rescued—believing that his predicament offers him a unique intellectual and philosophical advantage. 
  His colleagues, the press, and society react with indifference, treating his bizarre situation as a trivial curiosity rather than a matter of urgency. As Ivan embraces his new existence, the novella cleverly mocks bureaucratic incompetence, self-important intellectuals, and the absurdity of human nature. 
  What You’ll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Brilliant Satirical Comedy – Experience Dostoevsky’s biting humor and wit in a tale that remains as relevant today as in the 19th century.A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Human Ego – Witness the ridiculous ways in which people justify their own misfortunes and delusions.A Masterpiece in a Fresh, Readable Style – This modern adaptation preserves the depth and humor of Dostoevsky’s prose while making it more accessible for today’s readers.A Unique Tale of Bureaucratic Madness – Dive into a world where logic is twisted, and society’s reaction to the absurd is more absurd than the event itself. 
  More than just a comedy, The Crocodile is a sharp critique of human folly, intellectual arrogance, and the absurdities of bureaucracy and ideology. 
  Is Ivan Matveich a tragic figure, a genius, or simply ridiculous? 
  Get your copy today and discover one of Dostoevsky’s most entertaining and thought-provoking works.
