Sinopse

Margery Allingham's book "Black'erchief Dick" was nearly lost through the ages. Written by the author when she was just eighteen years old, she quickly dropped the manuscript with publishers so she could continue working on other endeavors. Through the hard work of literary scholars and lovers, however, it was salvaged and is once again available to readers who wish to read this early 20th century novel. Though there are some themes that would, today, be considered politically incorrect, the book offers an interesting glance into the society that once was.

    The Bell-Tower

    Herman Melville

    "The Bell-Tower," published in 1856, is the story of an eccentric architect named Bannadonna and his quest to build a magnificent bell-tower. As building progresses, local townspeople begin to hear of mysterious occurrences in the tower, leading to a suspenseful conclusion.
     
    Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet, whose work is often classified as part of the genre of dark romanticism. He is best known for his novel Moby Dick and novella Billy Budd, the latter of which was published posthumously.  After a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime. When he died in 1891, he was almost completely forgotten. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition, most notably Moby Dick which was hailed as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.

    My name is Jack Pilton and I moved into one of those lovely old terraced houses that Cornwall is so famous for, in a village called Little Trumpington. Soon after I arrived in the village I was asked if the local women’s group could use my lounge for their weekly card game and I was welcome to join in if I could play whist. 
    I was very soon swept away with the game but more importantly the forfeits that the losers agreed to. The winners would spank the losers but as I was the only man in the group I eventually did all the spanking.  
    Since then spanking has become the main part of the women’s group. In this audiobook, I will tell you about my honeymoon with Mary in Spain and the lovely little maid we both spanked while we were there. When we came back I had to spank all the members of the Women’s Group

    Captain Rogers - From their pens...

    William Wymark Jacobs was born on 8th September 1863 in Wapping, East London.  
    He was educated at a private school and then Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution, now part of the University of London. 
    In 1879, Jacobs began work as a clerk in the civil service, in the Post Office Savings Bank.  In 1885 his first short story was published but it was not until almost the turn of the century that he would abandon his post office career to that as a full-time writer. By then he was a very popular author, his collections selling extremely well and with an excellent income. 
    His best-known work is the macabre ‘The Monkey's Paw’ and he is also highly regarded for his ghost stories although much of his remaining short story output is streaked with humour.  His characters are immediately identifiable and we all know that life will take chunks out of them in no time at all.  
    Jacobs married the noted suffragette Agnes Eleanor Williams in 1900 at West Ham, Essex. They went on to have two daughters and three sons as they settled down to life.  
    By the outbreak of the First World War his literary output had declined and he now mainly spent his time rewriting his earlier stories for the stage.  In all he wrote 18 plays. 
    W W Jacobs died on 1st September 1943 at Hornsey Lane, Islington in London. He was 79.

    Between craving and enlightenment, between the heavens and earth, lies a single man. Making a choice, over what, in the end; is most important in the search for immortality.

    The Way Things Were

    The Way Things Were is a collection of stories and novellas by Ukrainian writer Marko Vovchok (Maria Alexandrona Vilinskaya-Markevich) focused around the lives of Russian and Ukrainian serfs during the last decade of slavery in the Russian Empire. These works were instrumental to the abolitionist movement, whose members - writers, poets, artists, and political activists - eventually succeeded in bringing about the Emancipation reform of 1861 and ending six centuries of serfdom. 
    Marko Vovchok's stories are not epic, historically significant episodes, but rather small, everyday vignettes from the lives of serfs and their masters, made all the more powerful by their serene, conversational style bringing the reality of the era into stark relief. 
    This collection includes the following works:The Merchant's DaughterSashaMischief MakerThe SchoolgirlKaterinaNine Brothers and Their Sister GalyaThe Tulle BabaLazy BonesLittle ToyThe King of HeartsLemerivnaMasha
