Sinopse

Walter Scott's "The Complete Short Stories of Walter Scott" presents a rich tapestry of narratives that showcase the author's deftness in blending history with fiction. With its roots in Romanticism, the collection encompasses a variety of themes, such as loyalty, honor, and the complexities of human nature, all set against the backdrop of early 19th-century Scotland. Scott's signature literary style, characterized by vivid imagery and engaging dialogue, captivates readers while providing profound insights into societal norms and the human experience. Walter Scott, a pioneer of the historical novel, profoundly understood the interplay between history and storytelling. His extensive background in Scottish history and law, along with his deep appreciation for folklore, inspired him to craft tales that resonate with authenticity and emotional depth. Scott's literary career, marked by significant contributions to both poetry and prose, allowed him to explore the nuances of character and setting, particularly the Scottish landscape that formed the core of many of his tales. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in the evocative narratives of a literary giant will find "The Complete Short Stories of Walter Scott" an invaluable addition to their collection. This volume not only underscores Scott's prowess as a storyteller but also offers contemporary audiences a chance to reflect on the timeless themes of his work. It is a masterful exploration of storytelling that invites both admiration and contemplation.

    He’s a guitar player who works odd hours.  
    She’s his curvy new neighbor with a mouthy co-dependent husky.  
    Miscommunication taints their initial meeting, but will their physical attraction allow them a second chance at a first impression? 
    Kirian: It’s been three weeks since my new neighbor moved into the adjoining duplex. Three weeks of hearing a woman I’ve yet to see conjure up fantasies with her phone sex job, and of a howling demon dog who makes noise morning, noon, and night. I’m ready to give her a piece of my mind, except she isn’t what I expect, and one look at her spilling out of her tank top erases all of my complaints except one—if she’s going to cause me to lose sleep, I have a much better idea on how to we can do that. 
    Jamie: I’m a PTSD counselor—not a sex phone operator as my neighbor accuses—and I’d be a lot more pissed off if he wasn’t standing there, near naked, in the form of some mythical Nordic god. And the fact that my puppy has sided with him isn’t helping me stomp away in a huff either. Should I trust my puppy’s instincts and give this guy a second chance at a first impression? 
    Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short contemporary romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.

    Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex on 1st July, 1889. His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16 AM Burrage had joined them.  The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market too.  The money was better and so was his writing. 
    From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment.  AM Burrage quickly became a master of the market publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. 
    By the start of the Great War Burrage was well established but in 1916 he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years documenting his experiences in the classic book War is War by Ex-Private X. 
    For the remainder of his life Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers.  In this volume we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written.  Succinct yet full of character each reveals a twist and a flavour that is unsettling…..sometimes menacing….always disturbing.

    Fyodor Dostoyevsky's final novel, considered to be the culmination of his life's work, "The Brothers Karamazov" is the story of the murder of Father Karamazov, whose four sons are all to some degree complicit in the crime. Within the context of this crime story evolves a brilliant philosophical debate of religion, reason, liberty, and the nature of guilt in society. Considered by Sigmund Freud as "The most magnificent novel ever written", the excellent translation of Constance Garnett is presented here in this edition of "The Brothers Karamazov".
