The jagged blast of high explosives rips through the evening air. In the sky over East London the searchlights criss-cross in search of the enemy. On the first night of the Blitz, a corpse is discovered in a van in the back streets of West Ham. Detective Inspector John Jago recognizes the dead man as local Justice of the Peace Charles Villiers. But a German bomb obliterates all evidence. Villiers was not a popular man, both powerful and feared. As the sirens wail, the detective must start matching motive to opportunity – and it doesn’t help when his boss foists an intrusive American journalist on him. Jago soon discovers the dead man held many secrets, some reaching back to World War I. A lot of people wished Villiers dead – and an air raid is a good time to conceal a murder.

At first glance, the book would seem to be a police procedural novel. However, the underlying theme is the Londoners reaction to the German bombings of World War II.The main character is Detective Inspector John Jago, a veteran of World War I. Jago's usual partner was called to military service, so he was breaking in a new man, Detective Constable Peter Cradock. The mystery begins with the discovery of a dead man in a van during the German blitz. Jago recognized the victim, a Mr. Charles Villiers, a magistrate and owner of a printing company. Mr. Villiers had cuts on his wrists, which was consistent with suicide. However, Jago found a stab would on Villiers chest and began treating the case as a murder. Before he could get the police doctor and photographer to the scene of the crime, a German bomb struck the van and obliterated all evidence. Later, Fred Cooper, the last person to see Villiers alive, is also found murdered.As Jago digs into Villiers life, he finds more and more evidence that Mr. Villiers was not a nice man. Villiers was involved in some illegal activities and did all he could to profit from the misery of war. Cooper was a similar man and had a business relationship with Villiers. As is often the case with illegal activities, blackmail was involved and narrowed Jago's suspect list.Meanwhile, the Germans were bombing London on a regular basis. Mike Hollow did a fantastic job of describing the effects of the bombings and the different ways the citizens tried to cope with it. I found this aspect of the book more compelling than the mystery, which was solved by a piece of evidence that the reader was not aware of. Part of the lure of mysteries for me is trying to figure out the who the perpetrator was, which was not possible in this book. But the descriptions of the bombings and the reactions of various characters made up for the weak mystery plot.I did enjoy this book and found it worth my time to read it. It related the reactions to the German bombings very well, and brought to light consequences that I previously had not thought of. I recommend the book on this basis and think it would be enjoyable to any history buff.

It came from a bookstore in London, UK and arrived a week ahead of schedule. I truly enjoy English Police procedurals... and this one did not disappoint. A murder during the London Blitz. And believe it or not life does go on in spite of the Nazi's bombing the city. DCI Jago was a treat. I'd so recommend this book to anyone and everyone. A good read.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Full of Surprises By Beth Milinski Direct Hit is the first book in Debut Author, Mike Hollow's series, The Blitz detective and it is very good. As a huge fan of Christian Historical Fiction and debut authors, this book fit great! Mike Hollow writes with authority about England during WWII, police procedures during this time in England, journalism/writing in USA and England during WWII, and life/events during WWI. From the start this book grabbed a hold of me and kept my interest all the way until the end. Mike Hollow definitely kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, twists and turns that kept me surprised until the end. I really enjoyed how Mike Hollow wove together fact and fiction throughout this book. I found myself learning more about WWI and WWII in this book. I love learning more about these times in our world's history. I found the characters well written and very real, especially Detective John Jago. He is a complicated character with his own struggles both personal and professional. I found his process of solving crimes very interesting and I enjoyed learning about him. As I stated above this book really did grab a hold of me from the start, all the way through the end. I loved the twists and turns. As I read this book, I really felt like I was there with Detective Inspector John Jago watching him investigate and solve the murder. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Mystery Fiction, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series! I give this book 4 STARS.I received this book from Kregel Publications for no charge in exchange for my honest review of this book. The opinions expressed here are my own.

Fierce's mother has left her pack to become a human. Left behind, Fierce is determined to have nothing to do with humans. But one day she finds a woman who reminds her of her mother in the forest. She hesitates for a moment, just long enough for the woman--Princess Jaleel--to turn her into a human with the wild magic. Soon Fierce is dragged into human concerns about the effects of the misuse of wild magic by Princess Jaleel. Will Fierce choose to be human and save the world or to be a hound again and save herself? "One of my favorite authors." Orson Scott Card Praise for The Princess and the Hound, the first book in this series: "[P]owerful, surprising, moving, and deep. . . The Princess and the Hound is a classic. It defies rules and formulas. It does nothing in the way that other fantasies have taught us to expect. Yet every rule-defying decision by Harrison is exactly right, leading to a breathtakingly right ending." Orson Scott Card "Fans of Robin McKinley, Patricia McKillip, Franny Billingsley, Cornelia Funke and Sherwood Smith should add this to their "must" be read list." Heidi Anne Heiner, SurlaLune Fairy Tales "Not since Tale of Desperaux have I opened a book and wanted to read aloud so much. In her prologue Mette Ivie Harrison evoked exactly the tone and voice of a classic fairy tale in the oral tradition. . ." interactivereader.com For The Princess and the Bear: "The relationships between animal and human, and the magic in being both, are exquisitely delineated, and the love story between the two strong protagonists is all the more powerful for being intensely restrained." Kirkus, starred review. For The Princess and the Snowbird: "Once again, a strong female protagonist, romance, magical adventure and provocative questions will capture teens." Gillian Engberg, Bookilist "Harrison's fairy tales always feel like they are full of untapped depth to me." Melissa Baldwin "The love of the hound and the bear is one for the ages. . . . This unusual princess story is less about castles and gowns and more about characters and journeys." Jessica Harrison, Deseret News Other praise for Mette Ivie Harrison's books: "[A]n extraordinary novel . . . I cannot recommend this novel highly enough . . . Mira, Mirror is one of those rare things - an imaginative fantasy that is also a deep novel about the human spirit. One of the most original, insightful fantasy novels ever written . . .This is a classic; you don't want to miss it." Orson Scott Card Mira, Mirror "grips you from the very first page all the way to the surprising conclusion." Holly Black, author of The Spiderwick Chronicles "Enchanting story . . . Mira is perhaps the most intriguing and complex protagonist ever to grace the pages of a re-told fairy tale. . . .Mira, Mirror is truly original." Amie Rose Rotruck, Children's Literature "Harrison brilliantly recasts a minor prop from the original story as a tragic heroine, and, in doing so, adds a whole new dimension to the tale, for a job well done." Michael M. Jones, Chronicle Mira, Mirror awards: Spirit 0f 76 Recommended Book List "Borders Recommends" List Association of Mormon Letters Honorable Mention for Juvenile Books 2004 The Center for Children's Literature "Too Good to Miss" List 2005 Utah Center for the Book Letters for Literature Level II 2005-2006 Winner The Children's Bookstore "Pick of the Month" November/December 2004

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. great voice, awesome price By Amazon Customer Fierce has been an outcast in her pack ever since her mother left to be a human. As a hound she is fearless and one of the best hunters in her pack, and though she is not treated well by the others in the pack she loves the forest and her life as a hound. Then she is changed into a human by a princess looking for her precious horse. The wild magic that this princess wields so recklessly has endangered the balance of the world. Fissures form in the ground and from them come white worms that eat the life around them and then imitate it to cause destruction.Fierce arrives at the nearest human residence to somehow make a life among humans. There she discovers Red, the boy who cares for the hounds. He wishes to learn the language of the hounds, and Fierce finds it comforting to spend time with the other hounds. As they form an acquaintance a woman comes to ask the Lord of the manor for help when the wandering princess turns her husband and daughter into animals. The Lord turns his back on her plea, but Fierce knows that this princess must be stopped and so she and Red go after her.Convincing a spoiled princess to change her behavior is quite a challenge, as well as facing the worm creatures that are now traveling the forest and harming people. They must return them from the fissures they came from before they alter the world permanently, but such a task requires great cost from those that fight the substance.I am really loving the fact that authors are now independently putting up books in series that their publishers dropped, because it means I got to read another Princess/Hound book by Mette Harrison. The price recently went down to 99 cents, which is a total steal! I was so excited when the book went down to that price and snatched it up immediately. In fact, it is still at that price right now. If you are interested in the book at all you should consider picking it up while the price is still low.I always find something that annoys me in these books, yet I always keep coming back to them because I really do love the voice of the series. This book also has that wonderful fairy tale feeling, and yet still feels substantive. The author often combines vivid emotions and profound views of human nature, but does it in a way that comes naturally from the world and characters. It also has the interesting romance story that managed to feel the same, but still ended up having a twist that surprised me. For some reason I find the human changed into an animal or vice versa to be a very interesting romance trope in the series. The author managed to find so much tension and conflict in how such a dramatic change affects the characters and how that plays out in the romance plot line.My complaint is that the world felt a little bit fuzzy to me. Some of the scenes felt odd in that I felt like the setting faded. A entire mob came into the forest to confront the Princess and the her entourage, but I wasn't exactly sure how they all fit in between the trees enough to have the confrontation the author described. There were several other examples of that where I felt the author was so focused on telling the story she forgot the little background details that makes a story feel sharp and clear.Despite that I still really enjoyed the book and really enjoyed the story and the characters. Totally worth reading if you are a fairy tale fiction fan.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Characters By Reed Buff This is only currently available as an eBook. I enjoyed reading it this way.The story is about Fierce. Fierce is a hound and runs in a pack that doesn't really accept her very well. Her mom has abandoned her to become human and she has hard feelings toward humans. She is quite alone but stays with her pack because that is all she has known. Then she meets the Princess with her wild magic. Her life changes from that point on.The thing I love about he The Princess and the Horse is that once again there are wonderful characters and a great tale with twists and turns. I love this princess. She is spunky and full of wild magic. I love Fierce too. The characters seem so real to me and I enjoy looking into their hearts and knowing more about them.Great enjoyable story that I will read again I am sure.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. How magic can take over By Kindle Customer Becca A story of how magic corrupted a princess and the efforts of her victims to reverse it and her conversion back to good.She turns animals into humans and humans into animals and keeps them with her,believing she is always right.Writen mainly with the interesting viewpoint of a hound who has been turned into a human against her will.Happy ending and a little more surprise at the end.

By KNUT KRAMER "Als pensionierter Flugkapitän und Fluglehrer habe ich mich natürlich für den fliegenden Ikaros interessiert. Dass Fliegen Freiheit bedeutet, verdeutlicht nicht nur der junge Athener Ikaros, sondern auch der viele tausend Jahre alte weiße Rabe, beides Piloten der ersten Stunde, die Ikaros's Schicksal spannend, informativ und optimistisch erzählen. Der "Ikaros", griechische Geschichte spannend dargestellt als Krimi, gehört in jede Schulbibliothek."Knut Kramer, Florida

It was about seven o'clock in the evening when sobrecargo Austin boarded the little mail-boat Estremedura as she lay rolling at anchor on the long, moon-lit heave that worked into the roadstead of Santa Cruz, Palma. Sobrecargo means much the same thing as purser, and Austin was an Englishman, though the Estremedura was to all intents and purposes a Spanish steamer. She traded round the islands of the Canary archipelago with mules and camels, tomatoes, bananas, onions, and seasick English tourists, as fortune favoured her. Now, as the heavily sealed document Austin carried in his pocket declared, she was to sail for Las Palmas, Grand Canary, with the Cuban mail, by the gracious permission of the young King of Spain.

A young man is seeking his fortune and goes on a trading expedition to Africa, where he encounters a lot of danger and some opportunities, too. There is a nicely done romance in the book. It is a very intelligently written book, as are all of this author's works. The action is always very realistic and colorfully described.

"Come, deputy of the Centre, forward! Quick step! march! if we want to be in time to dine with the others. Jump, marquis! there, that's right! why, you can skip across a stubble-field like a deer!" These words were said by a huntsman peacefully seated at the edge of the forest of Ile-Adam, who was finishing an Havana cigar while waiting for his companion, who had lost his way in the tangled underbrush of the wood. At his side four panting dogs were watching, as he did, the personage he addressed.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Psychological Drama with Bite... By Bubba_Holtzkopf DeBalzac is really one of the great classic authors out there who is, perhaps, less well known. This is sad, because I find his works to be very provacative in subject, very intriguing in execution, and very thoughful in characterization. Basically, in my opinion, he represents to me the perfect style of writing. If only the world had someone like him today.Adieu, (orginally published as a short story in 'The Human Comedy') is one of the most gripping tales I have read of its length except, perhaps, a few selected works of Edgar Allen Poe, who had a similar knack for the short story. Adieu begins with a jovial frolic, which turns mysterious, then tragic. The emotional roller coaster one experiences in this story primarily occurs due to the style of presentation. Truly, the story leaves you spellbound for its entire length.The story setting takes you from a more familiar provincial 1800's France to a much more unfamiliar war torn Siberia and back again. The tale itself is horrific in its scope, and terrible in its depth of human suffering. Yet, the whole of it seems to be story of the strength of a man's soul against untold horrors. How a man can survive an experience, a horrible tragedy, and while appearing unaffected, carries with himself an inward pain. It is love lost, and found, and lost again. And yet life goes on.I won't spoil it with any more description, but please, read this book.Extremely recommended.

By Brian Killeen I was unsure exactly of what I was reading when I began reading DeBalzac's Adieu; it seemed slightly stale at first glance. Boy, was I wrong! In such a short time DeBalzac somehow manages to tell an amazing love story with beautiful and horrifying images of umfamiliar lands. For such a short read it would be wrong not to give it a read!

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Short and strange story. By pertinacious It is a short and strange story for Balzac that focuses on a past event and a resulting later event. The past event contains a remarkable and graphic description a part of the retreat from Russia by the army under Napoleon. It is by far the most interesting. Perhaps this was meant to be part of a larger work.

By Victoria Pitts Caine Adventure begins to unfold for young Marc when he first finds the haunted tree. Its power both draws him and frightens him. He learns that he, too, has powers of his own.Recovering from the Ice Age, Britannia emerges to reconstruct and survive. Food is sparse and rival tribes many. An evil king plots to take over and Marc will cross the path of the king’s lackeys all too soon.The Wizard Oren brings Marc and his friend Valeria into the world of magic teaching them skills and secrets. While Marc discovers his path in life, he and Valeria realize there’s a different kind of magic growing between them, but first there’s a kingdom to defend and Marc may not survive the battle.It is obvious Mr. Scheller has taken years to hone his craft. Haunted Tree is heart stopping and a resounding page turner, yet there’s a well thought out plot and underlying meaning to the story. The characters are carefully developed and the descriptive prose holds the reader’s attention far beyond the last page. Well done.

Characters are so and so, especially the main female who felt like a romantic tool for Marc.Now the long version. The language is good, evocative but not pompous, fluid and well-honed. Good job to the author. The action scenes are brief and reasonable, mostly, and the tension is good. The pacing could be improved, tension goes down too often for too long.What really put me off is the Christian theme so explicit. When characters continuously say "God bless you", "God bless me", "Thank God for that", while living in a kind of apocalyptic context, that seems absolutely unrealistic to me. That's when the worst gets out of people, and they might plead forgiveness to God or Gods but with fear, resentment, desperation: not with overflowing gratefulness.Those kind of expressions are put as common sayings, yes, but are also present in the introspective bits of all main characters. It sounds to me like the author's belief system got too involved in the tale, at the expense of internal coherence.There is also another thing that needs work: character development.Marc is too scared/afraid of magic, unreasonably so since he greatly respects the wizard Oren. Now, either he shouldn't be so afraid, or he should not respect Oren so much. There needs to be a reconciliation between these two, but I didn't see it. Yes, later this changes under Oren's tutelage, but I find the "premise" unrealistic.Valeria is a bit stereotyped, and she kind of acts like Marc's support only. She dearly loves him, she helps him out, she quench his fears. She's a mother-wife before being even romantically involved with him. I prefer strong, well characterised women in my fiction.To conclude, I think the author has potential and the next novels will probably be stronger. However, I doubt I'll be buying the sequel of this. Not my cup of tea.

By Megan A creative tale of hardship in a mysterious past. Marc and his village struggle to survive after an endless winter has fallen on the land. When times are particularly hard, Marc ventures near the Forbidden Vale, a murky wood that houses rumors of death. An accident forces Marc to become sensitive to the magic all around, drawing the attention of the powerful wizard that protects the village. Regardless of his intentions, Marc grows in strength, as a man...and a magician.The setting is Roman-esque England, with hints of Robin Hood and a dash of Merlin and Chiron! It's a little slow to start, but I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Marc and the wizard Oren; the story seems to really hit its stride when the tutelage begins. Marc grows as a wizard, as a leader, and as a man, swearing to find his father's killer, and giving in to his feelings for his friend Valeria. It reminded me of a blend of The Once and Future King and The Clan of the Cave Bear.

Poll The first volume of The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf was something I was anticipating for a long time, and it did not disappoint. This book tells the tale of an immortal werewolf, by the name of Ethan Garraint, who was present at the fall of Montsegur. He is on a vendetta to find and kill a priest that betrayed the Cathers on Montsegur and ensured their fall. They've been battling throughout the centuries and now they meet once more on the streets of New Orleans. This is yet another fantastic tale by Evelyn Klebert that will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Best Ebook Online Of Human Bondage (Everyman's Library (Cloth)), by W. Somerset Maugham

W. Somerset Maugham’s masterwork is the coming-of-age story of Philip Carey, a sensitive young man consumed by an unrequited and self-destructive love.Born with a clubfoot, Philip is orphaned as a child and raised by unsympathetic relatives. Sent to a boarding school where he has difficulty fitting in, he grows up with an intense longing for love, art, and experience. After failing to become an artist in Paris, he begins medical studies in London, where he meets Mildred, a cold-hearted waitress with whom he falls into a powerful, tortured, life-altering love affair. This is the most autobiographical of Maugham’s works, with Philip’s malformed foot standing in for Maugham’s stutter, and the character’s painful romantic struggles inspired by the author’s own intense love affairs with both men and women. A brilliant and deeply moving portrayal of the price of passion and the universal desire for connection, Of Human Bondage stands as one of the most accomplished novels in English literature.

Of Human Bondage (Everyman's Library (Cloth)), by W. Somerset Maugham

Review “[Of Human Bondage] was an entirely new departure. Maugham, who usually cultivates a fastidious detachment, shows in this work a personal commitment that was unusual, sweeping the reader up in his own passionate intensity. Compelling and uncompromising, written with an unflagging energy and drive, the work could hardly be more different from any he had previously published . . . The story closely follow[s] the events of Maugham’s early life, with at its centre the terrifying experience of a masochistic sexual obsession.” —from the Introduction by Selina Hastings

From the Inside Flap The first and most autobiographical of Maugham's masterpieces. It is the story of Philip Carey, an orphan eager for life, love and adventure. After a few months studying in Heidelberg, and a brief spell in Paris as a would-be artist, he settles in London to train as a doctor where he meets Mildred, the loud but irresistible waitress with whom he plunges into a tortured and masochistic affair.

254 of 258 people found the following review helpful. True, honest, heartfelt masterpiece By Vivek Sharma W. Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage is one of the best novels I have ever read. The language is simple. The narration is subtle. The characters are real and display emotions and feelings everyone can identify with. The power of novel becomes apparent when you are reading it. You choke up every once a while, you smile for hours after you have finished reading certain passages, and you comprehend your own self, your woes and possibilities, better through perspectives that novel provides.Philip Carey is born with a clubfoot, and as he grows up, orphaned, he struggles with his own deformity. The initial quarter of the novel is about his growing up, and details incidents and relationships that shape our hero. He then develops a fancy of becoming a painter and travels to Paris, only to quit few years later to return to London, where he studies to become a doctor. The most engrossing part of novel starts here with the entry of Mildred, the waitress.The rest of the novel thrives on the passion of Philip, his love that carries him to the edge of self-destruction, and his coming of age. Unrequited love has never been potrayed better. Philip allows himself to become an instrument in hands of cold-hearted Mildred, who repeatedly ruins herself through absurd choices, and ruins him for not withstanding his love and care, he finds himself snubbed, ridiculed, bereft. Eventhough his reason tells him otherwise, Philip is unable to release himself from his passion for a considerable time. As is said in the novel, "But when all was said the important thing was to love rather than to be loved; and he yearned for Mildred with his whole soul."The novel is lot more than just story of Philip and Mildred, and there are other unforgettable characters. Each person Philip encounters and each friend he makes, leaves an indelible impression on him and the reader. Be it his idealist friend Hayward, who has too much promise too little product, the poet Cronshaw who dies in poverty, Fenny Price whose hard work cannot make her draw even reasonably well, his uncle and aunt whose love is both tacit and beautifully potrayed and the writer Norah who shows Philip of a caring and loving other.The most charming people in the novel are Athlneys. Athlney brings life and humor into the novel, and I think saves Philip from a total destruction. The novel really highlights the virtue that lies in a simple, happy married life and Anthlneys win over both Philip and readers with their goodness and simplicity. Thorpe Anthlney with his nine children is a jolly character, and be it his conversations or actions, he wins over our hearts outright.Philip finds love in most unexpected quarters and is surprised by how help crops up from strangers. His every experience makes him as richer as the reader becomes in reading about it. The thoughts about the meaning of life, or about love or religion or about virtue or vice, and about each aspect of life that Philip encounters are spelt out with a subtlety and mastery. These thoughts find easy resonance with the reader, and make Of Human Bondage an unforgettable affair. The honesty of this piece is stunning. This novel, written without any flourishes and intricate wordplay or mystery, is I think a celebration of the deep insight and understanding of the author.I have read his other works. The Razor's Edge, The Moon and Six Pence as well as his short stories are a proof of Maugham's ability to tell simple tales with great mastery. These, on their own, make Maugham a great novelist. But it is after reading Of Human Bondage that I realized why most novelists and readers have considered this piece as one the greatest pieces in World Literature. Maugham's aim was perhaps of catharisis and he put his own emotions into the characters, and therefore, he's created a work that is timeless and unforgettable. A must read for everyone who can read.

165 of 180 people found the following review helpful. One of my favorites...but why? By B. PERKINS I like this novel very much, but am always hard pressed to say why. Philip, the protagonist, isn't very sympathetic. The novel goes on at great length to describe several episodes that seem to be transparently taken from Maugham's own life. And I don't agree with Philip's lack of faith, although I understand it. Perhaps it has something to do with Philip's directionless nature, something most every young man can identify with. I read this first on graduating high school, wrote papers on it in grad school, and reread it again recently at the age of 34. Why? Because Philip is a very believable character. He suffers and endures, rather than swallow his pride when it would definitely be to his advantage. It's very easy to identify with someone who is so imperfect, instead of an idealized individual about whom you couldn't care less. Philip draws you in because he's so very human, flawed but purposeful, cynical yet still in possession of his dreams. Two last points: First, the novel is an _excellent_ look at London at the turn of the century. Reading this will teach you volumes about life as it was lived in this city, from its living conditions and social order to its worlds of medicine and bohemia. Second, the character of Mildred is the most callous, unfeeling individual I've ever met in print, although I've since seen many like her, both male and female, in my own life. Most likely, everyone encounters a Mildred sooner or later: better to meet her here first, where you can study her at your leisure. While I haven't found other works by Maugham nearly as interesting, this one has a special place on my bookshelf.

201 of 221 people found the following review helpful. The Skull Beneath the Skin By James Paris What Buddhist burst of contemplation led to this great novel written by that "technician," W Somerset Maugham? Of all the great books of the 20th century, which one could compare with its raw nerve and sinew? Here are no word games, no playing with the chronology, no obfuscation. With the limpid prose that had become his trademark, Maugham took us by the most direct route into his own private inferno. What in his hero Philip Carey was a clubfoot was for Maugham a painful stammer. What was Carey's public school at "Tercanbury" was Maugham's Canterbury. And, what is most interesting, what were Carey's tortured amours with the opposite sex were Maugham's tortured amours with the same sex. Yet with all the "translation" going on, the intensity of the feelings was transferred intact. The pain of Philip's on-again off-again relationship with Mildred has few equals in the literature of self-torture and self-delusion, ranking with Swann's pursuit of Odette de Crecy. OF HUMAN BONDAGE is a big book. There are hundreds of characters; and many of the lesser characters are memorable. The ineffectual dilettante Hayward, the skeptical poet Cronshaw, the icily bland Mildred, the despairing artist Fanny Price, the treacherous Griffiths -- even the walk-on role of grumpy old Dr. South comes alive in the last few pages of the novel. The settings are equally diffuse: London, the English countryside, Heidelberg, Paris, a Channel fishing village, and -- an amusing canard -- Toledo in Spain. (Carey is always dreaming of going there, but he never does.) When one is young, life looks like a triumphant progress through love, fame, and wealth. There appears, however, to be an inherent weakness in the organism; and it tends to go astray more than it does forward. We give ourselves to uncaring people; we constantly meet with reverses; we see our childhood dreams trampled by money-grubbing and the quiet desperation of which Thoreau wrote. And yet there is a spring that runs through us all. Even when it is dammed up, as Philip Carey's so often is, it can break out and rush forward, carrying everything in its path. When it happens deus-ex-machina style in BONDAGE, we are exhilarated (if not convinced). Maugham lets us down easily. He is too great and generous a writer to leave us in despair. Maugham's own story turned out well: he died rich, at an advanced age, and full of honors. His books are still in print and read by millions. What is more, Maugham, particularly in OF HUMAN BONDAGE, showed us what lay beneath the unperturbable veneer: We saw the skull beneath the skin.

Well produced Kindle edition of a classic Oppenheim story By Phil (not) in Mågnoliá Remarkably, given the large number of different versions of this book available here on Amazon (at the moment I count two Kindle editions, 16 different hardcover editions, and 29 different paperback editions), there are presently no reviews offered. The large number of offerings is no doubt due to the public domain status of this work; still it surely deserves some comment here by the reviewing community.The version I have myself is the Open Road Kindle Edition of A Prince of Sinners which has been recently (late November, 2014) issued by Open Road publishing, together with MysteriousPress dot com. Open Road is a publisher who has been issuing very well done Kindle editions of many classic works, all well edited and presented. In printed form, this book is approximately 400 pages long.E. Phillips Oppenheim was a very successful English novelist, born in 1866 and living until 1946. Over the course of his lifetime he produced well in excess of 100 novels, as well as 37 collections of short stories, and 30 or so film adaptations. He was well enough known that his picture was featured on the September 12, 1927 edition of Time Magazine, commemorating the publication of his 100th novel. Wiki reports that he was successful enough to have purchased a villa in France, a yacht, and a house in Guernsey. He died at the house, le Vanquiédor in St. Peter Port, Guernsey.A Prince of Sinners was originally published in 1903.

20 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Some of this book made me cringe, but I couldn't stop reading By Linda Linguvic I almost stopped reading this book after the first few paragraphs. Set in a plantation in the Solomon Islands, it is blatantly racist towards the natives and started off with describing a disgusting disease which had infected many of them. Even the British plantation owner, who was the only white man there, had symptoms of the disease but he still needed to maintain discipline over his black workers who were recruited for five-year stints and paid very low wages. I cringed at the description of the disease and I cringed at the description of the discipline, but frankly, I couldn't stop reading.Written in 1911, this is a novel about a time and a place. It is also a story of a romance. And a story about a young beautiful liberated American woman named Joan who was raised free and wild in Hawaii, taught to captain a ship, handle a rough crew, and resist marital entanglements. When her ship runs adrift on the plantation owner's property, he naturally falls head over heels in love with her.What follows is nothing short of high adventure and I can well understand the title of this short 190 page novel. There are worker uprisings, long treks through the jungle, murder, revenge, a duel between two white men and a wild assortment of shady characters. The story moves fast and gives quite a sordid picture of life in the Solomon Islands at time. It is a hard life for everybody and yet, as Jack London describes it, is also a life of high adventure as well as a great example of the work of this author.

If you're a Jack London fan you will not be dissapointed By Phil Jack London’s detailed knowledge of the subjects he writes about astounds me, this level of detail can not be dreamed up, it must come from his real experience and to have been out amongst the world that he writes about is what I find most amazing as are the characters he discusses – never a dull moment. If Jack London were alive today I’d absolutely want to spend some time with

An average length book full of interesting facets and offshoots of activity that flow out into what I think is a masterpiece of story telling. The title, "Adventure," is most cleverly chosen and fits perfectly the "drift" of the narrative. I enjoyed it very much.
