Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Mark Hodder's second Burton & Swinburne steampunk adventure, following the acclaimed The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack, is filled with eccentric steam-driven technology, grotesque characters, and a deepening mystery. When a clockwork-powered man of brass is found abandoned in Trafalgar Square, Burton and his assistant, the wayward poet Algernon Swinburne, find themselves on the trail of the stolen Garnier Collection--black diamonds rumored to be fragments of the Lemurian Eye of Naga, a meteorite that fell to Earth in prehistoric times. From a haunted mansion to the Bedlam madhouse, from South America to Australia, from séances to a secret labyrinth, Burton struggles with shadowy opponents and his own inner demons. Can the king's agent expose a plot that threatens to rip the British Empire apart, leading to an international conflict the like of which the world has never seen? And what part does the clockwork man have to play? From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Eleventh Avatar
Author: Nandita and Ramesh
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 938600903X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This collection of stories is a work of fiction, which however, depicts the reality of life in India. The author has highlighted what she feels are facets of Indian life, which are blots on our national character. She hopes that these stories will influence the readers to fight against the evils of our society, which are not intrinsic, but have been created by greedy, corrupt and immoral people. The Eleventh Avatar brings out the changes and transformations of Indian society as seen through the eyes of Lord Vishnu as he journeys through the erstwhile Bharatha Desham after a span of few thousands of years. It talks about his delight at some of the positive changes and at the same time his sorrow at the degradation of the moral fibre of the Indian society. ?The Girl on a Cycle? is a romantic story where the author brings out her conviction that the most important emotion is kindness. Every act of kindness has ripple effects. If kindness becomes the norm rather than the exception then we could bid adieu to strife.

What was further surprising was that not a single tear had dropped out of the carved footprint .
