    An exiled Russian spy shares his dramatic life story from a Paris restaurant in this novel by the author of The Radetzky March. In a Russian restaurant on Paris’s Left Bank, Russian exile Golubchik alternately fascinates and horrifies a rapt audience with a wild story of collaboration, deception, and murder in the days leading up to the Russian Revolution.Praise for Confession of a Murderer “Worthy to sit beside Conrad’s and Dostoevsky’s excursions into the twisted world of secret agents. Joseph Roth is one of the great writers in German of this century; and this novel is a fine introduction to this view of intrigue, necessity, and moral doubt.” —The Times (London)

    "The Extinction of Man" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.It is part of the excessive egotism of the human animal that the bare idea of its extinction seems incredible to it. "A world without us!" it says, as a heady young Cephalaspis might have said it in the old Silurian sea.
