Description
The Napoleon of Notting Hill, like so many Chesterton novels, deftly straddles the fence between humor and philosophy. The place is London, in the far-future year of 1984. Inexplicably, not too much has changed since the turn of the century—except that the king is chosen at random. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when the people randomly select an imbecile who only cares about a good joke.
With the new prankster king in place, the novel continues on with surprisingly action-packed breeziness, exploring themes of identity, patriotism, politics, and...

Description
George William Russell, also known by the pseudonym Æ, was a prominent Irish polymath who wrote on many topics related to Irish independence. In the The National Being Russell outlines a vision of how the an independent Ireland could create a unifying national spirit. This spirit would respect the rural roots of Ireland and draw heavily on ideas from the cooperative movement. Russell is very aware of the difficulties in solving the multifaceted problem of creating a nation, and he describes in detail many of the pitfalls that could occur: from a centralized representative democracy failing to respect individual rights, to a press that would rather stir resentments than...

The Natural, Bernard Malamud's first novel. published in 1952, is also the first — and some would say still the best — literary novel written about baseball. In it Malamud, usually appreciated for his unerring portrayals ot postwar Jewish life, takes on very different material — the story of a superbly gifted 'natural' at play in the fields of the old daylight baseball era — and invests it with the hardscrabble poetry, at once grand and altogether believable, that runs through all his best work. Four decades after the novel's publication, Alfred Kazin's comment still holds true: 'Malamud has done something which — now that he has done it! — looks as if we have been waiting for it all our lives. He has really raised the whole passion and craziness and fanaticism of baseball...

That is, until the FBI come knocking: they’ve begun a classified program that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie. What Cassie doesn’t realize is that there’s more at risk than a few unsolved homicides— especially when she’s sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Sarcastic, privileged Michael has a knack for reading emotions, which he uses to get inside Cassie’s head—and under her skin. Brooding Dean shares Cassie’s gift for profiling, but keeps her at arm’s length. Soon, it becomes clear...

The tower of Cullerne Minster, a vast church dating from the twelfth century, serves as a landmark on the south English coast, even though the town of Cullerne is no longer a port.
