The Road Ahead (Paperback): Christine Griffin The Road Ahead (Paperback)
Christine Griffin
R235 Discovery Miles 2 350 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

It's never too late to change as the characters in this poignant collection of stories demonstrate. These stories introduce us to a wide range of people young and old as they face up to change and challenge in their lives. Wheather it's learning to ride a bike for the first time in middle age, facing up to demons from the past, dealing with loss and bereavement, or embarking on a life-changing journey, their humanity shines through. They will make you laugh and make you cry but above all they stand as testimony to the resilience of the human spirit. Christine is an English writer married and living in Gloucestershire, her favourite form is the short story and in most of her work we meet characters young and old, male and female who in one way or another are struggling against challenges. She follows their journeys as they deal with their difficulties with grit, determination and sometimes humour.

Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedication and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise, can also fall... and fall he does, cast from the Heavens again and again and banished to the mortal realm. Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time. Now only a lowly scrap collector, he is dispatched to wander the earthly realm to take on tasks appointed by the heavens to pay back debts and maintain his divinity. Aided by old friends and foes alike, and graced with the company of a mysterious young man with whom he feels an instant connection, Xie Lian must confront the horrors of his past in order to dispel the curse of his present. This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series built around the romanticised love between two men (danmei) is the newest work from author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and has spawned an ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world - including the animated series (donghua) that amassed 100 million views in just its first month.

Things happen in Beaumont Street, but what? To Whom? What really goes on behind the elegant facades of the Ashmolean Museum and the Randolph Hotel? You'd be surprised. Could that really happen in the Playhouse? In this book, it does. A group of Oxford writers have let their imaginations roam through the past, present and even the future to produce a collection of short stories, all based in Beaumont Street. The result is an entertaining read, just as enjoyable to those who know Oxford well as it will be to its many visitors. But be warned: once you have read this book you'll never see Beaumont Street the same way again. All profits from the publications of this book are being donated to the Ashmolean Museum

F. Scott Fitzgerald
R466 Discovery Miles 4 660 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the ‘Jazz Age’.

Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.

The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for.

Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne’s influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love.

Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story.
