One of the best books I've read for many years. More twists and mysteries than Michael's Jackson's life and with a lot more humanity and logic. Highly recommended and, despite the somewhat archaic language, worth all the effort.
A twist of beauty and an inviting design may inspire readers to read the newly-abridged edition of Charles Dickens' classic, Oliver Twist; to join the hero in asking, "Please sir, may I have some more?"
Eight good stories by Jack London, about the people and places of the south Pacific in 1908. These powerful stories rank among London's finest, in their trenchant look at imperialism and the exotic. London's grasp of the complicated human motivations for foreign exploration, and the often inevitable responses to local cultures which result, is unerring.
