Fool on the Hill
Author: Matt Ruff
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802193625
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
From the author of Lovecraft Country: Myth and reality collide on a college campus “in a comic fantasy of wonderful energy, invention, and generosity of spirit” (Alison Lurie). Stephen Titus George is a young writer-in-residence at Cornell University in upstate New York. A bestselling author in search of a new story, he sees his life as a modern-day fairy tale starring himself as a would-be knight trying to woo a lovely maiden—or, actually, two: the bewitching Calliope and his guiding light, Aurora Borealis Smith. But he’s not quite in control of the narrative. There’s another writer with even greater influence on campus. The unseen Mr. Sunshine is an eternal, semi-retired deity who’s been fashioning his own story for centuries. He has all his characters in place: dragons, sprites, gnomes, and villains. And now, finally, his hero. As Mr. Sunshine’s world comes to fabulous and violent life, how can Stephen decide his own fate if it’s already being plotted by a god? An epic of life and death, good and evil, love and sorcery, Fool on the Hill lands Matt Ruff happily on the shelf between Tom Robbins and J. R. R. Tolkien for every lover of the “funky and fantastical” (New York magazine). “Inspired . . . rich in flavorful language . . . [a] dazzling tour de force.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The plot comes together like a brilliant clockwork toy.” —Locus

As the medicine man's teenage daughter reveals the plants behind the cure, their lives become irrevocably intertwined. Through These Veins weaves together the dramatically different worlds of traditional healing, U.S. government funded AIDS research, and the pharmaceutical industry in an intensely personal, fast-paced tale of scientific intrigue and love, with both devastating and hopeful effect.

The Wonderful Garden
Author: E. Nesbit
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1528787625
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
While their parents are away in India, Caroline, Charlotte and Charles are left with their great uncle Charles. Looking for entertainment, they come across an old book entitled “The Language of Flowers”, which seems to contain a variety of magical spells. The trio waste no time in trying to perform these invocations, which may or may not have been the cause of the decidedly queer things that happen next. Edith Nesbit's 1911 “The Wonderful Garden” is a fantastic example of children's literature that would make for perfect bedtime reading and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of her seminal literature. Contents include: “The Beginning”, “The Manor House”, “The Wonderful Garden”, “In Thessalonians”, “The Midnight Adventure”, “Hunted”, “Being Detectives”, “The Heroine”, “The Morning After”, “Brewing the Spell”, “The Rosicrucians”, “The Other Books”, “The Rosy Cure”, “The Mineral Woman”, “Justice”, “The Appeal to Caesar”, “The Le-O-Pard”, “The Leopard's-Bane”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
