In this second adventure, Sir John Fielding, a blind magistrate, comes across a crime that shocks even eighteenth-century London. A bookseller-publisher, his wife and two sons are found murdered in their living quarters above his shop in Grub Street. On the scene, ranting and brandishing an axe, stands John Clayton, identified by the broadsheets as a "mad poet." Clearly, the culprit has been caught, and justice in Fielding's court will be swift. But Fielding himself is not so sure. Discrepancies nibble at him, and easy evidence seems too easy. To satisfy both his curiosity and his conscience, he decides to dig a little deeper with the help of his "eyes," young Jeremy Proctor. What the pair uncover is an astonishingly evil stew of politics, religion, and greed.

Faulkner said that THE SOUND AND THE FURY was the closest to his heart as it had cost him the most anguish to write. For in this novel, first published in 1929, he created his "heart's darling," the tragic Caddy Compson, and projects her through the eyes of her three brothers -- the idiot Benjy, the neurotic Quentin and the monstrous Jason. Here is the first of Faulkner's indisputable masterpieces, displaying in its passion and its power his genius at full reach. By turns lyrical and dramatic, hilarious and heartbreaking, it's the novel which established Faulkner at 20th century literature's center.

NewBOT-4 3953 (Rebel Private: Front and Rear; William A. Fletcher)

During the Civil War, William Fletcher, was a private in the Confederate army and served under Stonewall Jackson. He fought in many of the famous campaigns, was wounded, and after the war returned to Texas, where he operated a successful lumber business. He published his memoirs in the early 1900s, but with time and fortune, they were lost and forgotten. But one copy did make it to the Library of Congress. It's fortunate, because historians now hail it as a key to understanding the South. (Margaret Mitchell used it in her research for Gone with the Wind). "Immediate and compelling...written with extraordinary perception and expression."

NewBOT-6 2708 (The Captain From Connecticut; C.S. Forester)

No one but a madman would put to sea in such conditions. A blizzard cut visibility to yards. Long Island Sound was galloping whitecaps. But in this second year of the war of 1812, conditions like these spelled opportunity to Captain Josiah Peabody, USN. His mission: break the British Blockade. The only thing in his favor was surprise. Who would expect a Yankee frigate in Long Island Sound at night? Peabody is a fictional character, and C.S. Forester's first American hero. Yet it was men like him who compensated for our tragic lack of warships and set the world sounding with the feats of our small navy. "His exploits have the ring of the truth. There is no better man than C.S. Forester to tell the tale.

GOODBYE TO ALL THAT is the author's autobiographical statement about WW I and the disillusionment that set in afterward. Graves went to Oxford, knew T. E. Lawrence and the Bloomsbury set, and lived at the artistic center as one of the reigning spirits. But in 1929 he abdicated and went to Majorca, there to live at his own pace and to produce works of his own design and construction. "Argument about which is the finest set of British memoirs of WW I stops here. If there are standard works of autobiography, this is one." (The List of Books) One of the finest modern British authors.

NewBOT-4 9199 (Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman; E. W. Hornung)

Raffles is the greatest cracksman in the literature of roguery. He could have succeeded in any career, but he chose a life of crime. He intended his first robbery, to be his last, but once he sampled the thrill of theft, he loved it. "Why settle down to some humdrum, uncongenial billet," he once asked Bunny Manders, "when excitement, romance, danger and a decent living were all going begging together? Of course, it's wrong, but we can't all be moralists, and the distribution of wealth is very wrong to begin with." E.W. Hornung was an English author of crime and mystery stories but is best known as the creator of Raffles, the greatest of all fictional thieves. Hornung's craft certainly ran in the family since his brother-in-law was none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

What is it like to be in battle? John Keegan, a senior instructor at Sandhurst, the British Military Academy, speaks for soldiers who were present in the fray. For examples, Keegan selects Agincourt in 1415, Waterloo in 1815, and the Somme in 1916. What is common about them, what is different? Agincourt was hand-to-hand combat, thrust and cut--a fearful and personal encounter. At Waterloo, 400 years later, the battle was still largely personal. As it swayed back and forth, men on opposite sides came to recognize the same individuals they had fought off in previous charges. Keegan closes his book with the Somme. For him it stands as the distillation of wars in the industrial age: long-distance killing of faceless men by others who merely activate the instruments of destruction.
