Winston Smith rewrites history. It’s his job. Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, he helps the Party, and the omnipresent Big Brother, control the people of Oceania.
Winston knows what a good citizen of Oceania must do: show his devotion for Big Brother and the Party; abstain from all vices; and, most importantly, possess no critical thoughts of their own. The new notebook he’s begun to write in is definitely against the rules – in fact, the Thought Police could arrest him simply for having it. Yet, as Winston begins to write his own history, a seed of rebellion begins to grow in his heart – one that could have devastating consequences.
In George Orwell’s final and most well-known novel, he explores a dystopian future in which a totalitarian government controls the actions, thoughts and even emotions of its citizens, exercising power through control of language and history. Its lasting popularity is testament to Orwell’s powerful prose, and is a passionate political warning for today.
When their secret gets out, can their relationship survive its biggest
test yet? The fourth volume of the fan-favorite BL manhwa turned
K-drama, now in print for the first time.
Rattled after narrowly escaping an upperclassman's twisted threats, Seo
Haebom resolves to keep his head down and focus on his schoolwork. He's
determined to secure his future and protect his relationship with his
boyfriend, Jo Taesung. But Taesung can't help but feel insecure when
Haebom spends all his time studying with other classmates.
Just when the couple finally gets a chance to enjoy a date, their
secret is discovered by the last person in the world they want to find
out: Taesung's mother, Ms. Ha. Will she give the boys her blessing, or
will this be the end of everything Haebom and Taesung have fought for?
Volume 4 includes episodes 47-65 of the webcomic Cherry Blossoms After
Winter.
When Bunny, Monkey and friends discover that all of existence is a virtual reality simulation, life gets a little bit crazy! Bunny declares himself The Woods' Magical Protector, Pig becomes a superspy, Weenie grows some serious muscles . . . but just what nefarious scheme is Skunky planning . . .?
Great Expectations was first published as a weekly serial in All
the Year Round, December 1860 - August 1861. Its first appearance
in volume form was as three-volume novel, without illustrations, in
July 1861. A one-volume edition, the next year, preceded its
inclusion in the collected editions of Dickens's lifetime. The
three-volume 1861 edition is the basis of the present text: variant
readings, including those in manuscript and extant proofs, are
recorded in the textual apparatus, providing an unusually rich
source of information on Dickens's methods of composition. The
Introduction traces this process of composition and draws attention
to the two unperformed dramatic adaptations: the reading version
and the 1861 play version, made as a safeguard of copyright.
Appendices include the original ending, the author's notes, and two
textual examinations, one of the five so-called `editions' of 1861,
the other a comparison of the one-volume 1862 edition with the 1864
Library edition.
An intimate glimpse into diverse experiences, from our anxious present
to terrifying futures of climate wreckage to the brutalities of our
colonial past. These stories challenge our preconceived ideas around
queerness, mental health, family, society and loss. The Lucky Ones
champions love, kindness and connection against all odds. It is a
dazzling, poignant collection of stories that brims with unforgettable
characters and heart.
Goku's adventure from the best-selling classic manga Dragon Ball
continues in this new series written by Akira Toriyama himself!
Ever since Goku became Earth's greatest hero and gathered the seven
Dragon Balls to defeat the evil Boo, his life on Earth has grown a
little dull. But new threats loom overhead, and Goku and his
friends will have to defend the planet once again in this
continuation of Akira Toriyama's best-selling series, Dragon Ball!
The battle between Granolah, Goku, and Vegeta continues on planet
Cereal. Despite this battle being fueled by the lies and
manipulation of the Heeters, Granolah's burning drive for revenge
has him convinced that this is a fight worth dying for-and that's
exactly what the Heeters want. Sensing something is amiss, Vegeta
begins to piece together the mystery of why Granolah hates the
Saiyans so much. But will he be able to figure out the truth in
time? And will Granolah even be willing to listen?!
I was the guy who always found a way.
I was the guy that couldn't be stopped.
A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. An overlooked
rookie cop is assigned to the department’s file room. A ruthless killer
only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s
outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. . .
Meticulously plotted and utterly compelling, these are intimate
portraits of humanity at its best and worst. Each story is entirely
distinct. And with their economical prose and unexpected twists, each
could only have been written by the creator of Jack Reacher.
INCLUDES A BONUS SHORT STORY FROM LEE CHILD AND TESS GERRITSEN,
STARRING JACK REACHER AND MAGGIE BIRD.

guard plays a bloody game of heads-or-tails; an office cleaner

provocative, Annabel Banks's debut short fiction collection draws
deeply upon the human need to be in control - no matter how
devastating the cost.
THE JURA EDITION with new introduction by Alex Massie 'For him Jura
was home' - Richard Blair on his father George Orwell 'The book of
the twentieth century . . . haunts us with an ever-darker
relevance' - Ben Pimlott, Independent 'The greatest British novel
to have been written since the war' - Time Out 'His final
masterpiece . . . enthralling and indispensable for understanding
modern history' - New York Review of Books The year is 1984 and war
and revolution have left the world unrecognisable. Great Britain,
now known as Airstrip One, is ruled by the Party, led by Big
Brother. Mass surveillance is everything and The Thought Police are
employed to ensure that no individual thinking is allowed. Winston
Smith works at The Ministry of Truth, carefully rewriting history,
but he dreams of freedom and of rebellion. It is here that he meets
and falls in love with Julia. They start a secret, forbidden affair
- but nothing can be kept secret, and they are forced to face
consequences more terrifying than either of them could have ever
imagined. In this new edition of a modern classic, Alex Massie's
introduction highlights the importance that Jura had on the writing
of one of the twentieth century's most important works of fiction.
