The Troubles by Tim Pat Coogan7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() So it makes sense that Irish history should feel so literary, a kind of Irish Greek Tragedy. Yeats are famous Irishmen but did you know Oscar Wilde was Irish, as was George Bernard Shaw, and Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula…who incidentally married Oscar Wilde’s one-time girlfriend)? Ireland is a particularly literary country, too, with myths as memorable as any other nation, and a rich tradition of revolutionizing literature itself. It’s fair to call the various uprisings, revolutions, and conflicts that have been waged on this small island merely individual battles in a long, long war that has finally (and hopefully permanently) given way to relative peace.īut, you may ask, what if I’m more into reading fiction? I usually am, too, but the bloody history of Ireland is frankly as engaging, if not more so, than any novel I’ve ever read. Centuries-, even millennia-old enmities not only inform contemporary events, but are their driving force. Every country is, of course, shaped by its history, but time hardly seems to exist in Ireland in a neat past, present, and future. It’s fitting that Tim Pat Coogan’s riveting 1916: The Easter Rising draws so heavily on the past. ![]() The color of magic series7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. ![]() This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a worthy addition to your collection.

Black Hole is set in the 1970s, “after the fall of ‘60s idealism” (Appleford), as Burns himself states. ![]() Those who are unable to hide the marks of the disease are condemned to live in the woods, leading a misrecognized existence outside human and social visibility. As summarized in a review published in The Washington Post, Black Hole, set in the suburbs of Seattle, “covers the high school years of a group of kids who find themselves catching a venereal disease known as ‘the teen plague.’ After sex with an infected partner, they deform and mutate” (Schwarz). 1 Charles Burns’s Black Hole was published in twelve issues between 19, and as a volume in 2005. ![]() The rain heron robbie arnott7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Old Singline came to expect him haggling became a formality money piled in the dust beneath his bed. ![]() He is very effective at his task… So the goal of his dreams isn’t just an empty fantasy… And the quoll would live, and so would the mare, and he was the one who had done it: he, and only he, had fixed these things.

These works echo and enrich the themes of The Call of the Wild and White Fang with their unique emphases on the primordial, the instinctual, and the quest for social justice. White Fang, set in the frozen tundra and boreal forests of Canada's Yukon territory, is the story of a wolf-dog hybrid struggling to survive in a human society every bit as brutal as the natural world. About the Book Four of Jack London's best short stories are included.īook Synopsis A bold mix of realism, allegory, adventure, and progressive politics, this collection features Jack London's most profound and moving literary works The Call of the Wild, London's elemental masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, sees pampered pet Buck snatched from his home and set to work as a sled-dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. ![]() James riley books in order7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Then Owen wakes up in a real-life mystery with a memory that’s been erased and too many questions.
