Franz Kafka, Idris Parry, J. Underwood
The Castle (Penguin Modern Classics)

2000 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `The Castle` is the story of K, the unwanted Land Surveyor who is never to be admitted to the Castle nor accepted in the village, and yet cannot go home. As he encounters dualities of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, and reason and nonsense, K`s struggles in the absurd, labyrinthine world where he finds himself seem to reveal an inexplicable truth about the nature of existence. Kafka began `The Castle` in 1922 and it was never finished, yet this, the last of his three great novels, draws fascinating conclusions that make it feel strangely complete. [detailed...]

Edward Montague
The Castle of Berry Pomeroy

2007 y.
Publisher: Valancourt Books
Description: The Castle of Berry Pomeroy, reduced to ruins in the early 1700s, has long been recognised as one of the most haunted places in Britain. It is said that the ghost of Margaret Pomeroy, starved to death in a dungeon by her sister Eleanor, still inhabits the castle today. In `The Castle of Berry Pomeroy` (1806), Edward Montague adapts the legends surrounding the castle into a Gothic tale of horror, jealousy, and revenge. The Lady Elinor de Pomeroy, envious that her sister Matilda has won possession of the castle and the love of the handsome De Clifford, decides to have her murdered. She enlists the aid of Father Bertrand, one of the blackest villains ever to appear in a Gothic novel. But Matilda`s death is just the beginning. Her spectre appears, bringing terror to Elinor and Bertrand, whose ambition and fear of discovery lead them to commit more and more murders. The body count rises and the horror increases, but will Matilda`s spectre lead to the discovery and punishment of… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: The Newbery-winning fantasy series now available in gorgeous new paperback editions!

Released over a period of five years, Lloyd Alexander`s beautifully written tales not only captured children`s imaginations but also garnered the highest critical praise.

Horace Walpole
The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story. (Oxford World`s Classics)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: First published pseudonymously in 1764, The Castle of Otranto purported to be a translation of an Italian story of the time of the crusades. In it Walpole attempted, as he declared in the Preface to the second edition, `to blend the two kinds of romance: the ancient and the modern`. He gives us a series of catastrophes, ghostly interventions, revelations of identity, and exciting contests. Crammed with invention, entertainment, terror, and pathos, the novel was an immediate success and Walpole`s own favourite among his numerous works. His friend, the poet Thomas Gray, wrote that he and his family, having read Otranto, were now `afraid to go to bed o`nights`. The novel is here reprinted from a text of 1798, the last that Walpole himself prepared for the press. [detailed...]

The Castle of Wolfenbach

2006 y.
Publisher: Valancourt Books
Description: Matilda Weimar flees her lecherous and incestuous uncle and seeks refuge in the ancient Castle of Wolfenbach. Among the castle`s abandoned chambers, Matilda will discover the horrifying mystery of the missing Countess of Wolfenbach. But when her uncle tracks her down, can she escape his despicable intentions? One of the seven `horrid novels` named in Jane Austen`s `Northanger Abbey`, `The Castle of Wolfenbach` is perhaps the most important of the early Gothic novels, predating both `The Mysteries of Udolpho` and `The Monk`. This edition reprints the complete text of the 1793 edition and includes a new introduction and notes by Diane Long Hoeveler, one of the foremost modern scholars of Gothic literature and feminism.

The Cat Behavior Answer Book: Practical Insights &, Proven Solutions for Your Feline Questions

2007 y.
Publisher: Storey Publishing, LLC
Description: Cats can be difficult to understand. They often seem secretive, aloof, and maddeningly independent. But they also earn deep love and devotion from millions of cat owners who cherish that incomparable feline spirit. For cat lovers everywhere, pet expert Arden Moore explores cat behavior in an inviting, browsable Q&,A format. She answers the questions that come up again and again among devoted cat owners, opening an intriguing window on the feline brain and physiology. How, for example, can a cat in deep sleep three rooms away from the kitchen come zooming in within seconds of the refrigerator door opening? It`s not just instinct. Cats really do have amazing hearing. Their ears are perfectly designed to pick up more sound vibrations and at higher frequencies than either humans or even dogs. And what does it mean when a cat`s tail swishes slowly from side to side? That cat is probably getting ready to pounce on a mouse—either a toy or the real thing. Tail swishing is part of… [detailed...]

They soon sniff out a shocking secret, and when Koko snoops into an unusual edition of Shakespeare, it may prove catastrophic… because somewhere in Pickax a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean, hungry look.

Jeremy Barlow
The Cat and the Fiddle: Images of Musical Humour from the Middle Ages to Modern Times

2007 y.
Publisher: Bodleian Library, University of Oxford
Description: In The Cat and the Fiddle, Jeremy Barlow explores 700 years of musical humor, a topsy-turvy world in which monkeys fiddle and pigs play the bagpipes. It is a vision of chaos and devilry as depicted in a variety of sources—the illuminated borders of medieval manuscripts, eighteenth-century prints of urban life, and even the illustrations of children`s books. Barlow reveals the shifting meanings behind such images, as they were often symptomatic of larger cultural trend such as rapid industrialization and urbanization, an emerging class system, and the moral movements of the late nineteenth century. As he compellingly argues, the development of the printing press, the popular spectacle of public concerts, and the rise of new political uses for music all played a critical role in musical history and were distinctly evident in images of musical humor. The archives of Oxford`s Bodleian Library provided a rich supply of previously unpublished material for Barlow`s research. With… [detailed...]

Stefano Zuffi
The Cat in Art

2007 y.
Publisher: Abrams
Description: `The Cat in Art` is both full of surprises and hauntingly familiar, as cats play and pounce and sleep and purr their way through 170 great art masterpieces from the ancient world to the present. What cats represent to us in life, they bring to art: elegance and grace, domestic tranquility, symbols of sensuality and mischievousness. Here are paintings by Van Eyck, Raphael, Leonardo, Bruegel, Rembrandt, Chardin, Gainsborough, Manet, Renoir, Bonnard, Gauguin, Matisse, Balthus, Picasso, Warhol, and many others. Sometimes the cats are the stars of the work, and sometimes they are working their magic from the corners of rooms-in which case both the whole work and a detail showing the cat are illustrated. Stefano Zuffi`s charming text tells the reader what it all means, from the feline goddesses of the ancients, to the devilish cats of the Middle Ages, to the indispensable companions of our own time.

Description: Book Description A dark story of love and betrayal set against the brilliant colors of the Catalan country in southern France. This novel, long out of print, is a powerful successor to Testimonies , Patrick O`Brian`s first novel written for adults. It is set in that corner of France that became O`Brian`s adopted home, where the long dark wall of the Pyrenees runs headlong to meet the Mediterranean.

His dour, middle-aged cousin Xavier, mayor and most powerful citizen of the town, has fallen in love and plans to marry the young daughter of the local grocer. The Roig family property is threatened by this union, and Madeleine`s relatives object on different grounds. Xavier is a tragic figure, damned by what he perceives as a lack of feeling, Madeleine is to be his salvation.
