Book excerpt: The masterpiece of one of the most important and overlooked British women writers of the twentieth century, with a new introduction by Melissa Harrison; 'Isabel Colegate has no rival' (The Times) 'If you are curious as to why Britain is still ruled by a tiny cadre of not-very-introspective aristo-capitalists, Orlando King is essential reading' Sunday Times 'Colegate's sharp-eyed trilogy about a young man on the make in 1930s London feels particularly resonant right now, given its acute take on male privilege and power' i paper, Summer Reading Picks 2020 'An extraordinary achievement' Frances Wilson, Times Literary Supplement, Summer Reading Picks 2020 Orlando King is a trilogy about a beautiful young man, raised in a remote and eccentric wilderness, arriving in 1930s London and setting the world of politics ablaze. In a time of bread riots and hunger marches, with the spectre of Fascism casting an ever lengthening shadow over Europe, Orlando glidingly cuts a swathe through the thickets of business, the corridors of politics, the pleasure gardens of the Cliveden set, acquiring wealth, adulation, a beautiful wife, and a seat in Parliament. But the advent of war brings with it Orlando's downfall; and his daughter Agatha, cloistered with him in his banishment, is left to pick through the rubble of his smoking, ruined legacy. Elegant and muscular, powerful and razor-sharp, Orlando King is a bildungsroman, Greek tragedy and political saga all in one; a glittering exorcism of the inter-war generation's demons to rival the work of Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark.

Book excerpt: Like Ariosto's Orlando Furioso and Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, Boiardo's chivalric stories of lords and ladies first entertained the culturally innovative court of Ferrara in the Italian Renaissance. Inventive, humorous, inexhaustible, the story recounts Orlando's love-stricken pursuit of "the fairest of her Sex, Angelica" (in Milton's terms) through a fairyland that combines the military valors of Charlemagne's knights and their famous horses with the enchantments of King Arthur's court. Today it seems more than ever appropriate to offer a new, unabridged edition of Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato, the first Renaissance epic about the common customs of, and the conflicts between, Christian Europe and Islam. Having extensively revised his earlier translation for general readers, Charles Ross has added headings and helpful summaries to Boiardo's cantos. Tenses have been regularized, and terms of gender and religion have been updated, but not so much as to block the reader's encounter with how Boiardo once viewed the world. Charles Stanley Ross has degrees from Harvard College and the University of Chicago and teaches English and comparative literature at Purdue University. "Neglect of Italian romances robs us of a whole species of pleasure and narrows our very conception of literature. It is as if a man left out Homer, or Elizabethan drama, or the novel. For like these, the romantic epic of Italy is one of the great trophies of the European genius: a genuine kind, not to be replaced by any other, and illustrated by an extremely copious and brilliant production. It is one of the successes, the undisputed achievements." -C. S. Lewis

Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf's most unusual and fantastic creation, a funny, exuberant tale that examines the very nature of sexuality. WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY PETER ACKROYD AND MARGARET REYNOLDS As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth's court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. Orlando will not only witness the making of history from its edge, but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart. The Vintage Classics Virginia Woolf series has been curated by Jeanette Winterson and Margaret Reynolds, and the texts used are based on the original Hogarth Press editions published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. **One of the BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as 'unforgettable' by The Mail on Sunday, A Hundred Million Years and a Day is a pocket-sized epic adventure story of a professor's journey to an Alpine glacier. ‘Powerful’ Sunday Times When he hears a story about a huge dinosaur fossil locked deep inside an Alpine glacier, university professor Stan finds a childhood dream reignited. Whatever it takes, he is determined to find the buried treasure. But Stan is no mountaineer and must rely on the help of old friend Umberto, who brings his eccentric young assistant, Peter, and cautious mountain guide Gio. Time is short: they must complete their expedition before winter sets in. As bonds are forged and tested on the mountainside, and the lines between determination and folly are blurred, the hazardous quest for the Earth’s lost creatures becomes a journey into Stan’s own past. This breathless, heartbreaking epic-in-miniature speaks to the adventurer within us all.

Book excerpt: This is the book of a long storied novel, entitled as 'The Skyfall' containing a few side stories also, certain imaginary scenes, episodes, events and incidences, characters, dialogues and some other very interesting phenomena, underlying a few more fanciful and also to some extent more factual descriptions of life or living pertaining to family and the outward society. It has been divided into two parts. Part 1st is based on 1 to 8 chapters and the Part 2nd covers as many as 9 to 14 chapters in all. This novel is, really speaking, a mixture of tragedy, romance and comedy. Hence, the running spirit of the story looks like a perfect novel because of the fact that I preferred to choose such a new style; it corresponds to my taste. There is a variety of wonderful imaginations which are attempted to be produced in such a way as to look like the real one. As such, the role of imagination has also been tried to be highly lighted; it was necessary from the literary point of view. In its analysis the book is entitled as 'The Skyfall' which basically contains five love stories, three wide spread kingdoms and eight devastative battles. The main Story is related to a person's deep love and lust for obtaining a state and becoming a king of such a kingdom or state. Apparently he looks normal but internally he is a villain having the madness for achieving his goal. 'The Skyfall', the name, appears dreadful, may it be so, because apparently the meaning of the title so given is 'bursting forth of the sky'. May not, nowhere happen so; if any how anywhere lt happens, the result will be shaking heart, disastrous and horrible. But it is certain that it will happen at every cost before the day of judgment, the so called 'Qayamat' when the whole universe will be destroyed and nothing shall remain in being except God. However, in spite of all this I have tried my best to create a healthy and harmonious atmosphere, an amusing as well as a most charming situation along with a peculiar pleasantness and also a tinge of sweetness in putting up the scenes, the characters, the dialogues etc. running between the major figures of the story or novel-hero and heroine, if there in, and so on. It's of course a nice book of fictions or story or stories in which basically the characters of L. W. Doson, A. Adams, A. Doson, L. Lorenzo, R. Doson, Am. Doson, M. Arden, B. Jonson, R.D. Spenser, M. Robinson and J. Watson have artistically been produced to read and relish the sweet, sour and saline flavors implied there in. A brief account of their different characters has also been given in the onward passages. I believe that the story of the novel must have all that which the readers may desire and expect. I have been passionate to a plausible extent to enrich the story of the novel with some of the heart touching experiences of life. I am sure that the readers will find in it the flavor of their personal interests, viz., pain, pleasure, pathos, thrill, dismay, terror, excitement, horror, love, hate, sympathy, apathy and also so much, so that. But apart from all these qualities it has been my strenuous efforts to shield out the story from the suspense with a view to let the readers feel free and entirely relaxed.
