69549 BARTLETT’S WORDS TO LIVE BY:


Advice and Inspiration for Everyday Life by John Bartlett, edited by Justin Kaplan,


In 1855, a Massachusetts bookseller self-published a small collection of prose and verse quotations. Since then, his work has been continuously expanded to reflect the ever-changing cultural climate, and people such as the esteemed Sir Winston Churchill have looked to Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations for wisdom, inspiration and fun. Now, here is an elegant new collection of the best advice ever given, from such varied sources as the Bible, Jane Austen, John F. Kennedy, Woody Allen, William Shakespeare and Martin Luther King. From Adversity to Youth and from Love to Science. 278 pages.

100387 GREAT GATSBY by F. Scott Fitzgerald Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald’s finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the “roaring twenties”, and a devastating expose of the “Jazz Age”. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick’s cousin Daisy, her


brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. With an Introduction and Notes by Guy Reynolds, University of Kent at Canterbury. 144pp. Paperback. ONLY £2


24266 LIFE’S LITTLE IRONIES: SELECTED SHORT STORIES OF THOMAS


HARDY by Thomas Hardy The proverbial phrase ‘life’s little ironies’ was coined by Hardy for his third volume of short stories. These tales and sketches possess all the power of his novels: the wealth of description, the realistic portrayal of the quaint lore of Wessex, the ‘Chaucerian’ humour and


characterisation, the shrewd and critical psychology, the poignant estimate of human nature and the brooding sense of wonder at the essential mystery of life. Ranging widely in length and complexity, they are unified by Hardy’s quintessential irony, which embraces both the farcical and the tragic aspects of human existence. 192pp. ONLY £2


Paperback. 23841 KING LEAR


by William Shakespeare King Lear has been widely acclaimed as Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedy. Elemental and passionate, it encompasses the horrific and the heart-rending. Love and hate, loyalty and treachery, cruelty and self-sacrifice: all these contend in a tempestuous drama which has become an enduring classic of the world’s literature. In


the theatre and on screen King Lear continues to challenge and enthral. This Wordsworth edition of King Lear provides a comprehensive, integrated text of the play. 160pp. Paperback. ONLY £2


68837 FINNEGANS WAKE by James Joyce


Finnegans Wake is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia Plurabelle and their family - their book, but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce’s last great work, it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like Ulysses, but, rather, formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. This ‘language’ is based on English


vocabulary and syntax but, at the same time, self- consciously designed to function as a pun machine with an astonishing capacity for resisting singularity of meaning. Announcing a ‘revolution of the word’, this astonishing book amounts to a powerfully resonant cultural critique - a unique kind of miscommunication which, far from stabilizing the world in meaning, constructs a universe radically unfixed by a wild diversity of possibilities and potentials. It also remains the most hilarious, ‘obscene’, book of innuendos ever to be imagined. 656 page Wordsworth paperback. ONLY £2
