Book Description
When Captain Albert “Bertie” McGregor of the British Army deployed to India, he never expected, green as he was, to find himself swiftly taken up in the great adventures of a lifetime—least of all under the command of one enigmatic colonel called Archibald Korn. Whispers around the men labeled the Colonel a crackpot, unfit for the rigors of war. That is, until Bertie found himself owing the Colonel a lifelong debt and with it, his (exasperated) loyalty. The Imperial Adventures of A.R. Korn is recorded in the journals of Captain McGregor as he follows the eccentric colonel on a whimsical journey of mystery. Always a step behind, Bertie is whisked all across the British Isles as he and the Colonel are entrusted with a mission of utmost secrecy from the Queen herself! Never mind that the Colonel never lets Bertie actually read the missive from Her Majesty. Nor does he brief him on the mission at hand. Nor, even, does he inform the frustrated soldier where they’ll lay their head the coming night. Regardless, someone—or something—has been raiding the grain silos in Uig, and if they aren’t careful, Bertie and the Colonel may just well find out who. The debut novel from author Seth Acerni, A.R. Korn is a joyful tribute to the adventure stories of the book’s own period. With its colorful characters and quick-paced capers, The Imperial Adventures of A.R. Korn is a fanciful ode to loyalty that is sure to have you singing a round of “God Save the Queen” and it might even make you believe that not all fairy tales are make-believe, after all.

Hav
Author: Jan Morris
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590174704
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
“Journey through a mystical country where everything is possible and easily arranged” in this 2-part travelogue set in a fictional Mediterranean city of dreams (Los Angeles Times). “A touching lover letter . . . to life itself”—featuring Last Letters from Hav, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and a foreword by Ursula K. Le Guin (The Independent) Hav is like no place on earth. Rumored to be the site of Troy, captured during the crusades and recaptured by Saladin, visited by Tolstoy, Hitler, Grace Kelly, and Princess Diana, this Mediterranean city-state is home to several architectural marvels and an annual rooftop race that is a feat of athleticism and insanity. As Jan Morris guides us through the corridors and quarters of Hav, we hear the mingling of Italian, Russian, and Arabic in its markets, delight in its famous snow raspberries, and meet the denizens of its casinos and cafés. When Morris published Last Letters from Hav in 1985, it was short-listed for the Booker Prize. Here it is joined by Hav of the Myrmidons, a sequel that brings the story up-to-date. Twenty-first-century Hav is nearly unrecognizable. Sanitized and monetized, it is ruled by a group of fanatics who have rewritten its history to reflect their own blinkered view of the past. Morris’s only novel is dazzlingly sui-generis, part erudite travel memoir, part speculative fiction, part cautionary political tale. It transports the reader to an extraordinary place that never was, but could well be. “Jan Morris is to other travel writers what John le Carré is to other spy novelists.” —New York Times

Book Description
bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown presents a much easier way to write books and technical publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for technical writing, so that you can make better use of document elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations, and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can even include live examples so readers can interact with them while reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R. Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R, either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C++, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on GitHub.
