    “What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.” 
  
Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay and their eight children spend the summer holiday on Scotland’s Isle of Skye. When the family postpones their trip to a nearby lighthouse, the narrative evolves into a meditation on the subjectivity of art and the bittersweet impermanence of life. 
  
This semi-autobiographical account invites fans of Virginia Woolf’s beloved classics Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One’s Own to glimpse a more intimate exploration of the author’s own upbringing. Discover for yourself why To the Lighthouse was featured in the “ALL TIME 100 books list” of English-language novels published since the dawn of TIME magazine.

    The classic American novel of a philandering, murderous preacher from the national bestselling author of God’s Little Acre.    When preacher Semon Dye moves into the tiny Georgia town of Rocky Comfort, many of its citizens welcome him. After all, the only church in town is being used to store fertilizer. But sermons aren’t the first thing on the mind of the tall, magnetic, and utterly dissolute man. Other callings take priority: women, whiskey, gambling, and hiding from the law. Even as he seduces wives, cheats at cards, and provokes old feuds, Dye manages to cast a dark spell over all the people in Rocky Comfort.   Journeyman is a wicked send-up of religious fervor by an American master of dark political satire. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.
