War of the Worlds Scarlet Traces
The wit and wisdom of Benjamin Disraeli, British statesman and
twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - with a new foreword by
Lord Lexden. Disraeli was one of the least orthodox of Prime
Ministers. He was an adventurer who fought his way to 'the top of
the greasy pole' in a blaze of controversy, and became Queen
Victoria's favourite statesman. He was a novelist and a wit as well
as politician. He was a brilliant orator. Like Byron he was both a
romantic and a cynic. His aphorisms have become part of the
discourse of political life. This collection is based on his
novels, letters and speeches. He was never dull, but he was
fundamentally serious behind the firework display, and he had a
lasting influence on the course of party history. Seen by some of
the founder of 'one-nation' conservatism, Disraeli is today one of
the most co-opted political figures of history. For those seeking
clarity on Disraeli's views, this collection will confound and
surprise.
Lord George Bentinck is an account of Disraeli's relation with his
parliamentary colleague and friend. It is not simply an account of
the battle over the Corn Laws with Sir Robert Peel, but a most
remarkable book, extremely readable, and full of often quoted and
apt comments and descriptions. As a vivid story of one of the great
parliamentary dramas in British history it is unsurpassed. The
portraits of both Bentinck and Peel are both sympathetic and just.
The book provides insight into mid-nineteenth century parliamentary
life that remains unsurpassed. It is hard to overstate the
bitterness and fury which Peel's decision to repeal the Corn Laws
had provoked in British politics. One biographer of Disraeli,
Robert Blake, spoke of "Home Rule in 1886 and Munich in 1938 as the
nearest parallels". Friendships were sundered, families divided,
and the feuds of politics carried into private life to a degree
quite unusual in British history. Those who are interested in the
details of parliamentary warfare which raged until Peel's fall from
power should consult Lord George Bentinck. But the worth of this
book goes beyond constitutional history or even the Irish food
famine. Disraeli helps explain the intellectual and ideological
grounds of the Young England Movement: a conservative force that
aimed at a union of discontented industrial workers with
aristocratic landowners and against factious Whigs, selfish factory
owners and dissenting shopkeepers. In forging such a policy of
principle, the Conservatives, as Disraeli's book well demonstrates,
became a minority party but one which carried the full weight of
moral politics.
The private letters of a statesman are always inviting material for
historians and when he has claim to literary fame as well the
correspondence assumes a double significance. Benjamin Disraeli
(1804-1881) belonged to an age that gave pride of place to the
written word as an instrument of both business and pleasure. This
volume includes 363 letters (many previously unpublished) from his
school boy days to his establishment in the Tory camp under the
patronage of Lord Lyndhurst. Most prominent are Disraeli's letters
to his sister, Sarah, with whom he corresponded frequently over
several decades. To her he confided his hopes, interspersed with
his observations and descriptions of social, literary and political
events. The letters to Sarah supply a skeleton around which
Disraeli's young manhood can be reconstructed and shed valuable
light on the remaining documents in the volume. The correspondence
also includes accounts of his tour of the Low Countries and the
Rhine in 1824, his adventurous trip to Spain, Greece, the Near East
and Egypt in 1830, his tense negotiations with publishers and his
campaign to shine as a member of aristocratic society and win
political patronage. The letters demonstrate the fine eye for
detail and the capacity for self-dramatization and literary
conceits which mark his novels. With their annotations they also
provide a remarkably detailed account of life in the upper reaches
of English society as viewed from below, and of Disraeli's
ambitions to enter that life.
A children's author is sucked back into the world of his childhood
imagination - only to find it transformed into a landscape of
horror Can he escape this prison of the mind - or end the war that
has devastated his imagination?
The twenty-first century's greatest living children's author -
Christopher Grahame - is drawn back into Castrovalva, the world of
his childhood imagination, when the stress of his fame starts to
weigh on him.
But Castrovalva has gone to hell in his absence - devastated by
war, famine and loss. And now Christopher can't wake up. Has he
lost his mind... or his innocence?
The 334 letters in this volume cover the period from Disraeli's
establishment in the Tory camp under the patronage of Lord
Lyndhurst to his election to parliament in 1837. The most important
issue to which they speak is the course of Disraeli's political
ambitions. In 1835 the road to parliament was not yet clear, for he
continued to be haunted by troubles from his past. He was beset by
charges of opportunism in his Taunton campaign of 1835, and the
longest letters here are those to Edwards Beadon written in
justification of past conduct; Disraeli had still to learn the
truth of his later dictum, 'never explain.' Also, debts contracted
many years before continued to plague him, as they would in years
to come. He was tempted by a variety of money-making schemes and
the later correspondence makes clear just how close he came to
permanent ruin at the hands of his creditors in the spring of 1837.
Had the fate of debtors' prison materialized it is doubtful that he
would ever have been eligible, in law or in reputation, for a
parliamentary career. Disraeli's eventual election for Maidstone in
the summer of 1837 marked the emergence of his formal public role.
Because he set out early and was a long time in attaining his
goals, one is tempted to laud his patience. But the record here
suggests that it was instead a matter of energy and endurance. This
volume of the Letters brings Disraeli to the threshold of the
Victorian era and the beginning of his career as a politician. In
late 1837 he failed in his maiden speech, but all major successes
lay ahead.
Justice Department has many divisions within it - Tek, Psi-Div, PSU
- and for undercover operations there is Wally Squad. So called
because Judges have to adopt the bizarre fashions of the citizens
to blend in, it's a dangerous job living on the streets - and for
Judges like Dirty Frank, operating in the Big Meg's most rundown
area, insanity is a way of life. Lenny Zero was a Wally Squad
Judge, an undercover operative working the streets of the future
metropolis. But when he ripped off the Mob, he quit Justice
Department with no shortage of enemies out for his head!
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so
that everyone can enjoy them.

Imagine a world where everyone has superpowers. That is, except
you. You are the same old turgid, miserable, lonely loser you've
always been. But when it comes to superpowers, apparently you can
indeed have too much of a good thing. With everyone able to destroy
tower blocks with a single punch, any minor fracas escalates into a
city-leveling combat, and the world is now in ruins as terrorism
and war threaten the very survival of the planet. What's needed is
a return to normality, to devolve back from Superhuman to just
human - and there's only one man for the job: down-at-heal,
divorced New York plumber, Michael Fisher.
Thanks to the technology left behind by the Martians and salvaged
by the survivors, the British Empire has become a dominating world
power once again, and has taken the fight back to the Martians! But
an aging Robert Autumn knows there is more to this war than the
propganda suggests. He sends journalist Charlotte Hemmingway
undercover to Mars in order to discover the truth. What she
discovers there is truly earth-shattering... This volume contains
the very latest series of Scarlet Traces, which has never been
collected before.
