Twenty-four years after the publication of 'Watership Down' - one of the century's best-loved works of imaginative literature - the superb storyteller Richard Adams re-enters that unique and special world to tell us about the lives of the rabbits after their defeat of General Woundwort. 'Tales from Watership Down' begins with some of the great folk stories well known to all rabbits.Then we listen in as Dandelion, the rabbits' master storyteller,relates the thrilling adventures experienced by El-ahrairah,the mythical rabbit-hero,and his stalwart,Rabscuttle,during the long journey home after their terrible encounter with the Black Rabbit of Inle (as narrated in 'Watership Down'). Finally,in the principal part of the book,we are told eight enchanting stories about the rabbits of the Down - Hazel,Fiver,Bigwig,and their companions - including the impact on the warren of the obsessive doe Flyairth,and the appointment of Hyzenthlay as a female Chief Rabbit and partner to Hazel. All readers - the millions who remember 'Watership Down' with the deepest affection,and also those for whom this volume will be their first encounter with the rabbits - will find these nineteen tales utterly compelling,the fruit of Richard Adams's spellbinding narrative power and ability to conjure up a world that is at the same time both real and unreal.

At the nadir of the Great Depression, in the summer of 1933, a million and a quarter in forged bonds and warrants were discovered in the state treasury and in bond brokerage houses. Before the affair was over, martial law was declared in the statehouse; four criminal convictions were effected—including the three longest sentences in the state's penal history; two state officers were impeached; six federal indictments were handed down, including one against the president of one of the Midwest's leading banks; a record number of civil suits jammed the courts; three banks closed permanently; a major Chicago brokerage firm went bankrupt; and one of the principals in the incident committed suicide. Political alliances had re-formed and regrouped, particularly in the progressive faction of the Republican Party. The honor, pride, and image of the state had been seriously, though not permanently, damaged.

UK: Routledge & Kegan Paul PLC, 1984. Soft cover. Very Good. 8.4 x 5.4 x 0.8 inches. THE ENGLISH NOVEL IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The Doom of Empire Martin Green has selected six authors whom he sees as the most interesting fiction writers of twentieth-century Britain: Kipling, Lawrence, Joyce, Waugh, Amis and Lessing. He asks how these novelists responded to and expressed in their work the pressure exerted upon all English people by their possession and subsequent loss of the Empire. The intrinsic literary interest of each writer turns out to have something to do with their response to England's plight as an imperialist and post-imperialist power. Dr Green begins with Kipling, who not only talks about the Empire but who also expresses the Empire in a number of indirect ways. He points out that Kipling is a much more pervasive and powerful presence in English literature after 1918 than has been recognized, and goes on to show that D. H. Lawrence reacted against Kipling in his major work - speaking against Empire, and for women and the private life. Next Dr Green turns to Joyce, and discusses both the overt and the implicit anti-imperialism of his work. In each case Dr Green has something to say about another novelist who can be associated with the principal subject of the chapter - for example, Forster with Lawrence, Wells with Joyce. He continues with chapters on Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis, who begin their careers by mocking Kipling and the ruling class of the Empire, but who gradually turn into their defenders - and who eventually take on some of Kipling's own characteristics. The book concludes with a discussion of Doris Lessing, the most committed of anti-imperialists., Routledge & Kegan Paul PLC, 1984, 3, Chatto & Windus, 1900. . 1st edition.
