'Brilliant . . . I couldn't stop reading' Jo Spain 'Exceptional . .
. Deeply chilling' Jane Casey ______________ Des is a good husband,
a good father - a good man. He encourages his wife's artistic
endeavours, reads bedtime stories to his children every night, and
holds down a well-paid, if unfulfilling, job. But appearances can
be deceptive. Lately, his wife seems to be forgetting that her art
is for his eyes only. And rumours at work are threatening his
reputation as a devoted family man. And he can't help but feel that
his kids don't seem to need him as much as they once did. Des is
afraid. Afraid of the world encroaching on his home. Afraid of past
mistakes catching up on him. So afraid of losing control over his
family that he is contemplating the unthinkable. A Good Father is a
dark and gripping psychological suspense novel that will take you
into the twisted mind of a man on the edge. 'This intricately made
novel marks the debut of a writer from whom, and of whom, we shall
be hearing much in coming times' John Banville 'Captivating . . .
Readers will come for the premise and stay for its clever
unpacking' Irish Times 'A devastating new voice in Irish fiction .
. . Magnificent' Joe Duffy 'A great read, it's gripping, at times
disturbing' Miriam O'Callaghan, RTE Radio 1

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the
development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

hufbands and wives, of neighbours and fellow-fervants. He knows the
