The Short Story of the Novel is a new and innovative introduction
to the best works of fiction from the last 500 years. Simply
constructed, the book explores 60 key novels from The Tale of Genji
to My Brilliant Friend. In addition to enjoyable descriptions of
the novels and concise explanations of why they are important, the
book illuminates the most significant writing genres, themes and
techniques. Accessible and fun to read, with a foreword by
Professor Peter Boxall, this pocket guide will give readers a new
way to enjoy their favourite books - and to discover new ones.
In The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism, Carl F. H. Henry
critiques separatist evangelicals and their absence from the social
arena, calling on all Christians to unite humanitarianism with
Christ-centered leadership to impact the kingdom of God.
Whether you're a regular globe-trotter or an armchair traveller,
these 80 works conjure up the spirit of place for locations on
every continent. Sometimes the setting of a novel is as important
as the story – where would Dickens be without London, or Edith
Wharton without New York? Who can read Jamaica Inn and not want to
visit Bodmin Moor, or enjoy Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies
Detective Agency and not wonder whether perhaps Botswana should be
on your bucket list? Covering every corner of the world, from
the most visited cities of Europe to the rural outposts of
Australia, there are classics by famous authors, alongside works by
new writers. Sometimes a native of the country is best able to
convey its true nature, but then an outside observer can recreate
the attraction of the unknown. Whether you have already decided on
a destination and want to get a feel for the place, or you are just
looking for ideas for your next getaway, Around the World in 80
Novels is full of inspirational reads that will fire your
imagination and have you reaching for your suitcase.Â
