Out of Africa is Isak Dinesen's memoir of her years in Africa, from 1914 to 1931, on a four-thousand-acre coffee plantation in the hills near Nairobi. She had come to Kenya from Denmark with her husband, and when they separated she stayed on to manage the farm by herself, visited frequently by her lover, the big-game hunter Denys Finch-Hatton, for whom she would make up stories "like Scheherazade." In Africa, "I learned how to tell tales," she recalled many years later. "The natives have an ear still. I told stories constantly to them, all kinds." Her account of her African adventures, written after she had lost her beloved farm and returned to Denmark, is that of a master storyteller, a woman whom John Updike called "one of the most picturesque and flamboyant literary personalities of the century."

Leo Tolstoy embodies the most extraordinary contradictions. He was a wealthy aristocrat who preached the virtues of poverty and the peasant life, a misogynist who wrote Anna Karenina, and a supreme writer who declared, "Literature is rubbish." From Tolstoy's famously bad marriage to his enormously successful career, Troyat presents a brilliant portrait that reads like an epic novel written by Tolstoy himself.

The terrifyingly prophetic novel of a post-literate future.Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books.The classic dystopian novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity.Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, decades on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.--back cover

Haruki Murakami(村上 春樹,Murakami Haruki, born January 12, 1949)is a Japanese writer. His books and stories have been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. His work has received numerous awards, including the World Fantasy Award, the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the Franz Kafka Prize, and the Jerusalem Prize.Murakami's most notable works includeA Wild Sheep Chase(1982),Norwegian Wood(1987),The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle(1994–95),Kafka on the Shore(2002), and1Q84(2009–10). He has also translated into Japanese works by writers including Raymond Carver and J. D. Salinger. His fiction, sometimes criticized by Japan's literary establishment as un-Japanese, was influenced by Western writers from Chandler to Vonnegut by way of Brautigan. It is frequently surrealistic and melancholic or fatalistic, marked by a Kafkaesque rendition of the "recurrent themes of alienation and loneliness" he weaves into his narratives. Steven Poole ofThe Guardianpraised Murakami as "among the world's greatest living novelists" for his works and achievements.

Do you know the painting by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte, where a well-dressed young man stands in front of a mirror, but chillingly the mirror reflects the back of his head, not his face? That is the feeling one has when reading these poems. An unsettling feeling; a feeling of distance and distortion. A fleeting sense that all is not quite as it appears.Interestingly, the painting "La Reproduction Interdite" ("Not to be Reproduced") of 1937 is a portrait which is also of a poet, Edward James. On the mantelpiece, reflected as it would normally appear to us, is a book by Edgar Allan Poe, entitled, "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym". Magritte much admired Poe's works, and made several references to them in his paintings. Many of Poe's stories also conjure up these feelings of isolation, emptiness and self-deception; the ambiguity of the human condition. Things in Poe's stories too, are never as they appear. But whereas Poe used this device to haunt and horrify us, Pessoa was more concerned with philosophical musings about identity, and what he represented as an "Other" separate version of himself. Poe wrote stories about doppelgangers (see "William Wilson", link here to my review.) And indeed the poet and writer Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa had over 70 alter-egos during his lifetime. Many had their own voice and writing styles. Four voices stand out in particular. Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis wrote both prose and poetry, and Alberto Caeiro, the fourth main "voice", wrote poetry. Pessoa invented the term "heteronyms" to describe these nom-de-plumes, preferring this to "pseudonyms". He maintained they were not false names but "other names", each having their own distinct literary persona. Each had differing political and religious views; different ways of thinking and different temperaments. This led to his extraordinary claim that they wrote things that he, Pessoa himself, would or could, never write. His own name, Pessoa, means "person" in Portuguese. It seems clear that his view of these alter-egos was not as imaginary characters, as his readers might see them. Clearly they were facets of Pessoa's own character, but he maintained they were separate entities, or "Other."35 Sonnets was self-published in 1918, along with another short volume of verse, when Pessoa was thirty years of age, and before he had achieved any literary success. It was received without enthusiasm, the critics apparently not recognising a talent that was to become one of Lisbon's best loved writers. Because of Pessoa's heteronyms, it has been wittily said that the four greatest Portuguese poets of modern times are Fernando Pessoa! Yet his was a brief flame of talent; he died in 1935, at the age of forty-seven.  The first sonnet starts, "Whether we write or speak or do but lookWe are ever unapparent. What we areCannot be transfused into word or book." (1)These concepts of the human condition, and the process of self-examination allied with hints of self-deception, perceptions and illusion are explored throughout the series of sonnets."I find me listening to myself, the noiseOf my words othered in my hearing them." "I love my love for thee more than I love thee." (13)The poet proceeds to not only contemplate himself and his own sensations, vainly attempting definition and a detached viewpoint. He also becomes aware of an Other, a lover, but only as the Other relates to his own experience. At the start of sonnet 14, the inner world is beginning to expand, yet the reader is still overwhelmed by the sense of isolation, fragility, impermanence, emptiness, and an overall sense of loss,"We are born at sunset and we die ere morn,"And the rhyming couplet to end sonnet 15,"I daily live, i'th' fame I dream to see,But by my thought of others' thought of me." (15)again reverts to philosophical musings on self-image and identity, and perceptions of the Other. The couplet ending the next sonnet encapsulates the sense of the whole poem. It is the kind of "summing-up", sonnets so often have. The poet reiterates the transitoriness of feelings. The more one tries to grasp at thoughts or feelings, (in this case, joy) the more they will just drift away,"Yet the more thought we take to thought to proveIt must not think, doth further from joy move." (16)Pessoa is moving us into the realms of paradox. Things may not be just not as they appear, but in actuality may be the opposite. Again, he ponders the illusory nature of things, how aspects are masked by others. Here are the final lines from sonnet 25, which explores the idea of Fate, maintaining that we are mere puppets,"An unknown language speaks in us, which weAre at the words of, fronted from reality." (25)The idea of reality surfaces time after time,"Only what in this is not this is real.If this be to have sense, if to be awakeBe but to see this bright, great sleep of things,"The poet - or is he a philosopher - decides to trust his own thoughts,"for truth commune with imaginings," rather than,"This common sleep of men, the universe.""My weary life" in sonnet 29, describes the ennui of, "this endless succession of empty hours," which,"dull even thought's active inaction,Tainting with fore-unwilled will the dreamed actTwice thus removed from the unobtained fact."These later sonnets, despite their simple language, return again and again to the idea of paradox, of illusion, of destiny and powerlessness in the hands of Fate. All is deceit, self-deception, mirrors and mask. The convoluted byways remind the reader of drawings by M. C. Escher. At first the mazes appear to be be complicated but solvable. Yet as we look further, they are revealed as impossible. Impossible objects, impossible thoughts. More paradoxes in sonnet 33, "And there means something by the nought it means.For thinking nought does on nought being confer," (33)Within the vast maze, the vast conundrum, aspects seem to have a duality, and take on their opposite side, as in the final couplet,"So why call this world false, if false to beBe to be aught, and being aught Being to be?"And by the end of sonnet 35, Pessoa has expanded his thinking from the internal self to encompass the entire universe. The Elizabethan sonnet is an interesting and highly structured form by which to express these thoughts about reality, illusion, paradox and the self. "The Times Literary Supplement" rather waspishly remarked that the author's,"command of English is less remarkable than his knowledge of Elizabethan English."Yet a tight short form lends itself very well to such a paring-down of language; to what seems to be an attempt to grasp the illusion. They remind a modern reader of R. D. Laing's poems, (link here to my review) having the same psychoanalytical quality, yet they are if anything more disturbing, with more of a sense of isolation. And he is not only popular but very highly regarded by modern critics. Harold Bloom refers to him in "The Western Canon" as "the most representative poet of the twentieth century, along with Pablo Neruda."One personal experience may be worth a smile. In the third sonnet, Pessoa observes, with an eye to destiny,"That future eyes more clearly shall feel meIn this inked page than in my direct soul;" (3)It seemed a fitting paradox to me, that I came across these words of Pessoa, not on an "inked page" as he musingly predicted, but in an e-book - a form impossible for the poet to envisage."The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged By any skill of thought or trick of seeming." 

If you are a fan of the post apocolypse genre, then you will appreciate this gem of a book. It is difficult to find, but it is well worth perservering with a search. The title of the book refers to an old castle in rural France, and which is owned by our hero, the narrator of the story. By a happy coincidence of ancient stone and being sheltered by a cliff, a small community survives the aftermath of a "clean" bomb by sheltering within its walls. At first the community is obsessed with the everyday challenges of life - what to eat, drink, will there be fallout? But as the novel progresses, and we learn of other survivors, it begins to look at the very nature of human behaviour when stripped of the facade of civilization.

At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.A magnificent blending of the music, the mood, and the ethos that was the sixties with the story of one college student's romantic coming of age, Norwegian Wood brilliantly recaptures a young man's first, hopeless, and heroic love.

Nietzsche called The Gay Science "the most personal of all my books." It was here that he first proclaimed the death of God -- to which a large part of the book is devoted -- and his doctrine of the eternal recurrence.Walter Kaufmann's commentary, with its many quotations from previously untranslated letters, brings to life Nietzsche as a human being and illuminates his philosophy. The book contains some of Nietzsche's most sustained discussions of art and morality, knowledge and truth, the intellectual conscience and the origin of logic.Most of the book was written just before Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the last part five years later, after Beyond Good and Evil. We encounter Zarathustra in these pages as well as many of Nietzsche's most interesting philosophical ideas and the largest collection of his own poetry that he himself ever published.Walter Kaufmann's English versions of Nietzsche represent one of the major translation enterprises of our time. He is the first philosopher to have translated Nietzsche's major works, and never before has a single translator given us so much of Nietzsche.

The Old Man and the Sea is a novella written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cayo Blanco (Cuba), and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction written by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.

In this dark and compelling short novel, Dostoevsky tells the story of Alexey Ivanovitch, a young tutor working in the household of an imperious Russian general. Alexey tries to break through the wall of the established order in Russia, but instead becomes mired in the endless downward spiral of betting and loss. His intense and inescapable addiction is accentuated by his affair with the General’s cruel yet seductively adept niece, Polina. In The Gambler, Dostoevsky reaches the heights of drama with this stunning psychological portrait.

The Jungle Book key characters are Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves and Sher Khan, biggest tiger in India. As Baloo the sleepy brown bear, Bagheera the cunning black panther, Kaa the python, and his other animal friends teach their beloved “man-cub” the ways of the jungle, Mowgli gains the strength and wisdom he needs for his frightful fight with Shere Khan, the tiger who robbed him of his human family. But there are also the tales of Rikki-tikki-tavi the mongoose and his “great war” against the vicious cobras Nag and Nagaina; of Toomai, who watches the elephants dance; and of Kotick the white seal, who swims in the Bering Sea.

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (; Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой, tr. Lev Nikoláyevich Tolstóy; [lʲef nʲɪkɐˈlaɪvʲɪtɕ tɐlˈstoj] (listen); 9 September [O.S. 28 August] 1828 – 20 November [O.S. 7 November] 1910), usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received multiple nominations for Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906, and nominations for Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1910, and his miss of the prize is a major Nobel prize controversy.Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852–1856), and Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murad (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.

The Idiot is a novel by the 19th-century Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published serially in the journal The Russian Messenger in 1868–69.

When Marshal of the Nobility Pozdnyshev suspects his wife of having an affair with her music partner, his jealousy consumes him and drives him to murder. Controversial upon publication in 1890, The Kreutzer Sonata illuminates Tolstoy’s then-feverish Christian ideals, his conflicts with lust and the hypocrisies of nineteenth-century marriage, and his thinking on the role of art and music in society.In her Introduction, Doris Lessing shows how relevant The Kreutzer Sonata is to our understanding of Tolstoy the artist, as well as to feminism and literature. This Modern Library Paperback Classic also contains Tolstoy’s Sequel to the Kruetzer Sonata.

Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep's clothing. He's handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He's a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened—of himself or some other fiend.

See alternate cover edition: hereHe's a charming monster... A macabre hero... A serial killler who only kills bad people.Dexter Morgan has been under considerable pressure. It's just not easy being an ethical serial killer - especially while trying to avoid the unshakable suspicions of the dangerous Sergeant Doakes (who believes Dexter is a homicidal maniac...which, of course, he is). In an attempt to throw Doakes off his trail, Dexter has had to slip deep into his foolproof disguise. While not working as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, he now spends nearly all his time with his cheerful girlfriend, Rita, and her two children, sipping light beer and slowly becoming the world's first serial couch potato. But how long can Dexter play Kick the Can instead of Slice the Slasher? How long before his Dark Passenger forces him to drop the charade and let his inner monster run free?In trying times, opportunity knocks. A particularly nasty psychopath is cutting a trail through Miami - a man whose twisted technique leaves even Dexter speechless. As Dexter's dark appetite is revived, his sister, Deborah (a newly minted, tough-as-nails Miami detective), is drawn headlong into the case. It quickly becomes clear that it will take a monster to catch a monster - but it isn't until his archnemesis is abducted that Dex can finally throw himself into the search for a new plaything. Unless, of course, his plaything finds him first...With the incredible wit and freshness that drew widespread acclaim to Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Jeff Lindsay now takes Dexter Morgan to a new level of macabre appeal and gives us one of the most original, colorful narrators in years.
