OLIVER TWIST
Penguin USA. 11/01/1994. Dickens's second novel was a far cry from THE PICKWICK PAPERS, his first. The story of an orphan who flees the workhouse only to fall in with a gang of thieves and prostitutes in London's sleazy underworld, it was a trenchant criticism of England's poor laws. Enacted in the 1830s, these laws provided assistance for the poor only through workhouses, which were deliberately squalid and miserable to encourage the poor--who were considered lazy and immoral--to better themselves and get out. The inequities between rich and poor were one of Dickens's constant themes, and with OLIVER TWIST he established himself as a staunch champion of the downtrodden, particularly children. The novel also, however, has its cheerful moments, and contains some of Dickens's most memorable characters, including Fagin, the Artful Dodger, the evil Bill Sykes, and the unfortunate Nancy.

Kingdom Alliance
Penguin USA. 06/01/1995. Reissue. The tale of the orphan, Pip, and his mysterious benefactor provides a grotesque but pointed comedy that explores the many levels of English society with insight and sympathy as well as a satiric eye. Considered by many to be Dickens's best novel, GREAT EXPECTATIONS is the story of a young man who rises out of a rough, deprived childhood to a life in which his expectations--or some of them--are fulfilled: he is a gentleman and a success, though he soon finds that happiness doesn't necessarily accompany money and position. The novel is full of fascinating scenes and characters, among them the coldhearted Estella, the vengeful and dotty Miss Havisham, Joe Gargery the noble blacksmith, the ever-lovable Herbert Pocket, and of course Magwitch, the grotesque and terrifying but ultimately benevolent convict, one of Dickens's most vital creations. As the compelling plot progresses, Pip's fortunes rise and fall, and he slowly gains in wisdom, learning to value what is important and to abandon most of his illusions. But the moral of the story is never heavy-handed or didactic, and in telling his tale, Dickens epitomizes all the best qualities for which he became famous: a comic vision, an inventive imagination, and a bountiful appreciation for the wonderful variety and boundless possibility inherent in the most ordinary humans.

The Dean's December (Penguin Classics)
Penguin USA. 05/01/1998. Reprint. 312 pgs. In Saul Bellow's novel of academic life, Albert Corde, the middle-aged dean of an American college, is on sabbatical in Eastern Europe with his wife, who is visiting her dying mother. In a simple attempt to sort through the events of his own life, he becomes embroiled in diplomatic embarrassments and criminal cases, and finds that he understands himself less and less with each new revelation. Written with the intellectual and psychological depth and insight that have become Bellow's trademarks, THE DEAN'S DECEMBER--his first novel after being awarded the Nobel Prize in 1976--is a moving portrait of a man's effort to take his own measure.

The Cunning Man
Penguin USA. 02/01/1996. Reprint. The mysterious death of a priest at the High Altar on Good Friday sets into motion a story narrated by Dr. Jonathan Hullah, the physician who signed the priest's death certificate. The doctor looks back over his long life, from Sioux Lookout, Ontario in the 1920s and 1930s to Toronto in the 1980s. Hullah made a name for himself as an expert diagnostician; he could usually divine what ailed his patients, although what ailed them was often found in their souls rather than in any particular organ of the body; he is the "cunning man" of the title. Some of the same characters from "Murther and Walking Spirits" show up in this story, however, this novel stands on its own and it is not necessary to have read MURTHER to enjoy THE CUNNING MAN. This outstanding novel was the last of Davies's books to be published during his lifetime. Originally published at $16.00 You save 94% off the cover price!

The Group (Qty: 2)
Harcourt. 09/01/1991. Reissue. First published in 1963, THE GROUP concerns eight young upper-class and upper-middle-class graduates of Vassar College (Class of 1933), who are proud of their "progressive" ideas. Because of the Depression's impact on their families and the job market, they've suffered economic setbacks into middle-class or bohemian life, but they quickly fall into a new sort of domesticity (canned goods rather than fresh, apartments rather than houses) and a new outlook on sex and romance (far more practical than their parents). However, the Vassar character-molding experience is such that despite all these "new" ideas, the women themselves remain essentially unchanged.

The Caine Mutiny: A Novel
Little Brown & Co. 04/01/1992. Reprint. 537 pgs. Herman Wouk's third novel, published in 1951, makes use of Wouk's experience as a Naval officer in the war to evoke a drama of duty, courage, and psychological insight. When a typhoon strikes the U.S.S. Caine, Captain Queeg's series of panicked commands completely destroy what little confidence and loyalty his crew has invested in him. Queeg's sanity is called into question by the higher ranking members of his crew. The resulting mutiny and court martial scenes dramatize the issues of obedience, military order, and justifiable insubordination. This novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1952.

$3.50 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $0.50 for each additional book from this seller)! New York, NY, U.S.A.: Ballantine Books, 1998. By the author of "Sleepers." "Remember these names: Boomer. Dead-Eye. Pins. Geronimo. Reverend Jim. Mrs. Columbo. They were great cops. The best cops. But they are cops no more. Now they are apaches--a renegade unit working on their own...It is the early 1980s. Crack cocaine has made its devastating appearance. Violence is escalating and so is an unnerving lack of morality. Things are happening that have never happened before. One of those things is the brutal kidnapping of an innocent 12-year-old girl. But the kidnapper has made a deadly mistake. He has brought Boomer Frontieri back to life, back to the streets. And back into action. A New York City detective forced to retire after being wounded in a drug bust, Boomer thirsts to return to the life he loved--the life of a cop. When an old friend turns to him for help, Boomer has the excuse he needs. Adn when the simple kidnapping turns into something more, something much more evil, even more horrifying, Boomer realizes that he can once again find a way to serve justice. There are others like Boomer. Cops who can no longer be cops. He brings them together, bringing them back to life as well. Even as they face almost certain death. Apaches is the story of an extraordinary band of cops. Some might call them criminals. Some might call them heroes. But theirs is a world where good is always shadowed by bad, where right is almost indecipherable from wrong, and where the living can, within mere moments, cross over to the world of the dead." . Paperback. Very Good. (more information)
