  The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. 
   
   
   
  Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air. 
   
   
   
  As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters―one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. 
   
   
   
  In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.

  Ten Camels for My Wife

  A highly entertaining anecdotal collection of humorous life observations during a trip around the world. Travelling by bus to Kathmandu, the author experiences hair-raising misadventures: a chase through Jerusalem, a gun battle in Jordan, a pummelling by a gargantuan masseur in Istanbul, a python in India, and the terrifying James Bond encounter in Australia. His portrait of an Afghani shopkeeper has a bizarre twist. 
  Time-travelling detours punctuate interesting stories about the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Tahiti, Easter Island statues and Christ in Rio. More than a travelogue, personal insights and character portrayals are underscored by whimsical humour.

  Spider-Man - The Ultimate Trivia...

  SPIDER-MAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a teenager who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. His powers include enhanced strength, speed, agility, and a precognitive “spider-sense”. He uses self-designed wrist-mounted web shooters. Initially using his powers for personal gain, Peter embraces heroism after his Uncle Ben's death, learning, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Spider-Man is unique for his teenage perspective, lacking a mentor, and dealing with relatable issues such as rejection and financial struggles. His popularity led to multiple comic series, and he has become a cultural icon appearing in numerous media. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Spider-Man's first appearance was in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, and the comic was originally intended to be the last issue of the series. The editorial page of that issue, however, anticipated that Spider-Man would be a continuing feature in future issues, even though that was not originally the plan.  
    
  Stan Lee said that the idea for Spider-Man came from seeing a spider climb a wall, but in his autobiography, he admits he's told the story so often that he is unsure if it is true. The pulp magazine character, The Spider, also influenced the creation of Spider-Man, who like that character was wanted by the law and criminal underworld. 
    
  Although teenage superheroes at the time usually had names ending with "boy," Stan Lee chose the name "Spider-Man" because he wanted the character to age as the series progressed. He also added a hyphen to the name because it looked too similar to Superman.
