Sinossi

In "The Blissylvania Post-Office," Marion Ames Taggart weaves a captivating narrative set in the fictional town of Blissylvania, artfully crafting a tale that explores the intricate interplay between community and communication in a rapidly changing America. Through a blend of whimsical charm and piercing social commentary, Taggart reveals the pivotal role of the post office as both a literal and metaphorical conduit of connection among the town's eclectic inhabitants. The novel's engaging prose and vivid characterizations reflect the early 20th-century literary style, reminiscent of other regionalist works that sought to capture the spirit of American life. Taggart, a notable figure in early 20th-century American literature, was deeply influenced by her experiences in small towns and her fascination with the evolving dynamics of communication in an increasingly industrialized society. Her own background as a writer and social observer allowed her to deftly explore themes of isolation, belonging, and progress. Taggart's keen insights into human nature and community life lend authenticity and depth to her characters, making their struggles and triumphs resonate with readers. This novel is highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring the nuances of American identity and the significance of communal relationships during a transformative period in history. "The Blissylvania Post-Office" not only entertains but also invites reflection on the role of communication in fostering connections, making it a timeless read for both literary scholars and casual readers alike.

    The Victorian Plague is a satire on self-awareness, religion and philosophy. The title is an allegory to what eastern theology dubs the ego, its effect on the conditioning of the modern primate and civilisation as it currently stands. It is the authors unfiltered zeitgeist and theory of reality. The author presents a deconstruction of our modern-day perception of what reality is, what it means to be alive and presents some subjective theories of the historical influences that led us to arriving at the awareness that we currently rest at. It covers everything from education, psychedelic chemicals, cultural conditioning and the practical utility of Zen Buddhism. The book makes three absurd claims which are defended and elaborated on thoroughly, the author argues that the average civilized human being is hallucinating, there is no such thing as progression through time, and that we have no free will. It explains Eastern theology in English, not in mysticism. This book is all you need to understand Zen Buddhism, the beauty and dread of language, and why you shouldn’t care about spiritual pursuits in the slightest. The book has two faces, yet it hides nothing. If you like this work you prove the author right, if you hate this work you prove the author right.

    “[A] social comedy with some brilliant people observations about ageing and a devilish plot twist” from the author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (The Times, London).   After their elderly father’s fall, Phoebe and her brother, Robert, couldn’t be happier with his new caregiver, Mandy. She came to them with great recommendations and has given the brilliant, yet lonely, widower a new lease on life—though he is gossiping about the locals’ love affairs instead of debating science and politics.   But Phoebe and Robert soon become suspicious of Mandy—her rummaging about in their father’s papers, her strange inheritance from a former client, her habit of speaking her mind no matter the consequences. Then Robert discovers that their father has changed his will. Suddenly Mandy seems more devil than angel . . .   For the first time in years, Phoebe and Robert are bonding over something—even if it is their mutual distrust of Mandy. And what happens next will make the siblings question everything they thought they knew about their parents—and themselves.   “Moggach addresses an all too common nightmare with ruthless honesty and sublime wit—The Carer is one of the funniest novels I have read for ages.” —The Times (London)   “Unputdownable, fun and tender with characters that jump off the page. Perfection.” —Marian Keyes, international-bestselling author of Again, Rachel   “Joyous . . . a sustained satire on smug middle-class mores.” —Daily Mail   “The most endearing of humorists, Deborah Moggach casts a penetrating eye on our foibles and fantasies. Neither ageing, nor death—as The Carer so beautifully demonstrates—can resist her comic scrutiny.” —Lisa Appignanesi, award-winning author of Mad, Bad, and Sad

    New Grub Street by George Gissing is a compelling exploration of the literary world and the struggles of writers in late 19th-century London. The novel contrasts two authors: Edwin Reardon, a talented but impoverished novelist who values artistic integrity, and Jasper Milvain, an ambitious opportunist who prioritizes commercial success. As they navigate the harsh realities of the publishing industry, Reardon’s dedication to his craft leaves him financially ruined and emotionally broken, while Milvain’s pragmatic approach propels him to fame and fortune. Gissing critiques the commodification of art, the sacrifices demanded by poverty, and the moral compromises of ambition. Through its vivid characters and unflinching portrayal of societal pressures, New Grub Street examines the tension between art and commerce, offering a poignant reflection on the cost of creativity in a materialistic world. A timeless classic, it resonates with anyone who has grappled with the pursuit of success versus staying true to one’s ideals.

    Two short tales putting a spin on some common stories. 
Chosen Ones 
What happens to teenaged heroes once they've fulfilled the prophecies and saved the world? Well, the lost prince of Atlantis is going to speed dating events in Manhattan, and having a surprising meeting. 
Source 
The stories all suggest that the US military would get the cool alien space tech, and we'd have to trust them to do the right thing with it. More likely, the recipients would be random ordinary folk- like a guy out shopping and the woman he's trying to chat up.
