This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, part-metafiction, part-satire, part-case study of totalitarian thought, it can also be thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction in which the story is told, for the most part, from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero. The action of the novel is located in a historically definable Scotland with accurately observed settings, and simultaneously implies a pseudo-Christian world of angels, devils, and demonic possession. The narrative is set against the antinomian societal structure flourishing in the borders of Scotland in Hogg's day.

This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story traces Robert Wringhim's gradual decline into despair and madness, as his doubts about the righteousness of his cause are counteracted by what appears to be the Devil himself, who is increasing domination over his life. Finally, Robert loses control over his own identity and start's committing murders. The action of the novel is located in a historically definable Scotland with accurately observed settings, and simultaneously implies a pseudo-Christian world of angels, devils, and demonic possession. Many of the events of the novel are narrated twice; first by the 'editor', who gives his account of the facts as he understands them to be, and then in the words of the 'sinner' himself. Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, it can be thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction in which the story is told, for the most part, from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero. James Hogg (1770-1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand, and was largely self-educated through reading. He was a friend of many of the great writers of his day, including Sir Walter Scott, of whom he later wrote an unauthorized biography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical success on both sides of the Atlantic, this darkly imaginative novel from Scottish author James Robertson takes a tantalizing trip into the spiritual by way of a haunting paranormal mystery. When Reverend Gideon Mack, a good minister despite his atheism, tumbles into a deep ravine called the Black Jaws, he is presumed dead. Three days later, however, he emerges bruised but alive-and insistent that his rescuer was Satan himself. Against the background of an incredulous world, Mack's disturbing odyssey and the tortuous life that led to it create a mesmerizing meditation on faith, mortality, and the power of the unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Carpenter’s Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out, but never down for good—a Dostoyevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. The novel follows the adventures of Jack Levitt, an orphaned teenager living off his wits in the fleabag hotels and seedy pool halls of Portland, Oregon. Jack befriends Billy Lancing, a young black runaway and pool hustler extraordinaire. A heist gone wrong gets Jack sent to reform school, from which he emerges embittered by abuse and solitary confinement. In the meantime Billy has joined the middle class—married, fathered a son, acquired a business and a mistress. But neither Jack nor Billy can escape their troubled pasts, and they will meet again in San Quentin before their strange double drama comes to a violent and revelatory end.
Book Synopsis Classic Crimes by : William Roughead
Download or read book Classic Crimes written by William Roughead and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2000-08-31 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorothy Sayers called William Roughead "the best showman who ever stood before the door of the chamber of horrors," and his true crime stories, written in the early 1900s, are among the glories of the genre. Displaying a meticulous command of evidence and unerring dramatic flair, Roughead brings to life some of the most notorious crimes and extraordinary trials of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England and Scotland. Utterly engrossing, these accounts of pre-meditated mayhem and miscarried justice also cast a powerful light on the evil that human beings, and human institutions, find both tempting to contemplate and all too easy to do.

Download or read book After Esther written by Collins Aki and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Esther, The Red Book is an experiment of literary experience comparable to David Foster Wallace's *Infinite Jest* or James Hogg's *The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner*. Written in an original style that splices together the genres of poetry, fiction, and philosophy, this eccentric work of meta-fiction, based mostly in Puerto Rico, weaves one story out of two. In the first story, the fictional translator of the second story, the zany but well-meaning Gustav Z. Itohahn, narrates his admiration for the fictional author of the second story, the mysterious poet-philosopher, Jorge Manuel Belmarez. Itohahn's life is turned inside out when Belmarez asks him to translate a novel he has written in Spanish, which he claims will introduce a new poetic philosophy of love. But Belmarez dies before they can complete the project, and Itohahn, now enthralled in the mystique of Belmarez and his philosophy of love, life, and literature, takes it upon himself to see the publication through. In the second story, Itohahn presents Belmarez's story of love and tragedy that parallels the affair the author's mother had with his uncle with his one-night rendezvous with a lady who realizes she has been wanting to leave her mediocre-minded fiancé for some time. Both stories dare to challenge every idea of love and marriage, from the vow "till death do we part" to the old courtly-love edict that "marriage is no proper defense against love." As Itohahn's tour of the second story comes to its tragic end, he tries his best to not only answer the daunting question of being in time, but to answer that question by answering the most intimate question ever asked about being in time: the question of being in love. After Esther, The Red Book is an effort to push the experience of reading a novel to its furthest extreme, towards that strange frontier where fiction and nonfiction merge in an illuminating originality of time and space. In parts, written in poetic verse, in other parts baroque prose, The Red Book can only be read as a gathering of provocative conversations and confidences. Composed of many allusive layers, it is not only a story about love, but a story that engages the most intimate questions raised regarding existence, identity, politics, religion, literature, art, language, and even music. It may somehow find itself in the memory of its readers as more than a difficult experiment in literature, but a daring experiment in challenging our deepest ideas and beliefs.
