Of Human Bondage (1915) is a novel by William Somerset Maugham. It is generally agreed to be his masterpiece and to be strongly autobiographical in nature, although Maugham stated in a signed inscription: “This is a novel, not an autobiography, though much in it is autobiographical, more is pure invention.†The novel is considered a classic.
The book begins with the death of the mother of the nine-year-old Philip Carey, the protagonist. Philip’s father had already died a few months before, and the orphan Philip is sent to live with his aunt and uncle. His uncle is vicar of Blackstable, a small village in East Anglia. Philip inherits a small fortune but the money is held in custody by his uncle until he is twenty-one, giving his uncle a great deal of power over him until he reaches his maturity.

In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings…. When we grow up, we learn that it’s far more common for human beings to turn into rats…
We all have heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty… and what curses accompanied Cinderella’s exquisite looks?
Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris’s path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister.
Clara was the prettiest child, but was her life the prettiest tale?
While Clara retreats to the cinders of the family hearth, burning all memories of her past, Iris seeks out the shadowy secrets of her new household–and the treacherous truth of her former life.
God and Satan snarling at each other like dogs… Imps and fairy godmothers trying to undo each other’s work. How we try to pin the world between opposite extremes!
Far more than a mere fairy-tale, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is a novel of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding us that deception can be unearthed–and love unveiled–in the most unexpected of places.

Based on the famous British TV series starring Patrick McGoohan, and the Graphic Novel by Dean Motter and Mark Askwith.
Once upon a time there was a land called The Sixties, where brave men and women fought a new kind of campaign, a secret war of deception, diplomacy and sometimes murder. But many learned that in this conflict it was hard to tell who were the real enemy. That they did not even know how many factions were involved in the war.
Then there was The Village. A sinister Shangri-La for people too dangerous to be allowed freedom. A place without names. The heart of an authority that used ruthless mental conditioning and torture to rule with absolute control.
One man was brought to the island who refused to submit. His battle was long and hard, but eventually he escaped and The Village was destroyed. That’s a version of the story. One for comforting children.
Set twenty years after the final episode of the television series, Shattered Visage follows former secret agent Alice Drake as she is shipwrecked on the shores of The Village and encounters an aged, psychologically scarred Number Six. While the decades-old conflict unfolds between Six and Number Two, secret agents in London have their own plans regarding the intelligence mine that is The Village, as well as the secret lying at its very core.

From the bestselling author of Thursday Next – a brilliant new novel about a world where social order and destiny are dictated by the colors you can see
Part social satire, part romance, part revolutionary thriller, Shades of Grey tells of a battle against overwhelming odds. In a society where the ability to see the higher end of the color spectrum denotes a better social standing, Eddie Russet belongs to the low-level House of Red and can see his own color – but no other. The sky, the grass, and everything in between are all just shades of grey, and must be colorized by artificial means.
Eddie’s world wasn’t always like this. There’s evidence of a never-discussed disaster and now, many years later, technology is poor, news sporadic, the notion of change abhorrent, and nighttime is terrifying: no one can see in the dark. Everyone abides by a bizarre regime of rules and regulations, a system of merits and demerits, where punishment can result in permanent expulsion.
Eddie, who works for the Color Control Agency, might well have lived out his rose-tinted life without a hitch. But that changes when he becomes smitten with Jane, a Grey Nightseer from the dark, unlit side of the village. She shows Eddie that all is not well with the world he thinks is just and good. Together, they engage in dangerous revolutionary talk.
Stunningly imaginative, very funny, tightly plotted, and with sly satirical digs at our own society, this novel is for those who loved Thursday Next but want to be transported somewhere equally wild, only darker; a world where the black and white of moral standpoints have been reduced to shades of grey.

John R. Brice should be on top of the world: he’s brilliant, has a beautiful family, and his company’s about to go public, which will make him a multimillionaire. But when his ten-year-old daughter is kidnapped, which exposes fractures in the Brice family, John would give it all up in a heartbeat to get her back. More than just a kidnap-for-ransom, though, Gracie’s abduction is part of a plot that threatens the White House. When the FBI and local law enforcement close the case, it’s John’s father, Ben, a Vietnam vet, who helps the Brice family unravel the long-held secrets that hold the key to Gracie’s return. In his dynamic follow-up to The Color of Law, Gimenez has written a startling, multilayered thriller in which complex characters and a fast-moving plot grab the reader immediately. Smart dialog and a spunky Gracie, who never loses her cool, make for a memorable read that twists and turns until the final, cinematic conclusion.
