10989 LOST WORLD AND OTHER STORIES by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

73024 SIRENS OF TITAN by Kurt Vonnegut A very funny novel about The Meaningless of It All, vast in scope and staggering in its originality. When Winston Niles Rumfoord flies his spaceship into a chrono- synclastic infundibulum he is converted into pure energy and only materialises when his waveforms intercept Earth or some other planet. As a result, he only gets home to Newport, Rhode Island once every 59 days, and then only for an hour. But at least, as a consolation, he now knows everything that has ever happened or that will ever happen. First published in 1959, facsimile reprinted paperback, 224pp.

73271 AACHEN MEMORANDUM by Andrew Roberts May 2045. England has become a minor region of the European super state, politically correct but inert, weighed down by bureaucracy and unaware of past glories. With British culture diluted to near extinction, the nation having lost its Crown and its Parliament, nationalistic pride is liable to land you in prison, or even worse. Oxford Don Horatio Lestoq finds the dead body of a prominent politician and is immediately tagged as prime suspect. Can he free himself from government conspiracy or will he become ensnared like those who try to reveal fiercely guarded hidden truths? 279pp, paperback. £8.99 NOW £3.75

25248 RIGHTS OF MAN by Thomas Paine


Published as a reply to Burke’s Reflections of the Revolution in France, Rights of Man is a classic statement of the belief in humanity’s potential to change the world for the better. Paine writes with the vigour of a self-taught mast-maker and excise man. With a passion and rapier wit, he advocates such measures as free education, old age pensions, welfare benefits and child allowance over 100 years before these things were introduced in Britain. The work remains a compelling manifesto for social change. 240 page reprint in paperback.

25259 CONCISE PEPYS edited by Tom Griffiths


Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) began his celebrated diary on the 1st January 1660 immediately prior to the Restoration of Charles II to the throne and subsequent loosening of the rigid moral and social codes enforced during the Puritan Commonwealth. As variously Clerk to the Council, an MP, a prisoner in the Tower of London, twice Secretary to the Admiralty and President of the Royal Society, Pepys was in a unique position to observe and record in detail a fascinating ten-year period of English history. This included not only the


Restoration, but the Great Plague of 1665 and the Fire of London the following year. A regular attendant at the King’s Theatre, he was a hearty eater and drinker and delighted in recording his fondness for women, especially his own and his friends’ young servant girls. 816 page paperback at great value.

55434 EPIGRAMS OF OSCAR WILDE by Oscar Wilde


Wilde’s well-turned phrases and spontaneous insults still cause much amusement and admiration. Many of the quotes in this book are taken from Wilde’s plays, novels and essays which were also packed with witticisms amounting to an outrageous philosophy. Though from prison came a few last brilliant works, Wilde was never to recover his health or standing in society. He died in Paris bankrupt, broken and alone. He is buried at Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise, one of Paris’s finest cemeteries. 240pp. Paperback.

25257 VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE by Charles Darwin


Darwin’s writings as an independent naturalist on the HMS Beagle between 1831 and 1836 capture the natural world’s beauty in his own sublime language. In a travel journal which takes us from the coasts and interiors of South America to the South Sea Islands, his descriptive powers are constantly challenged, but never once overcome. Here is his speculative mind at work, posing questions about the Earth’s structure, animal forms, anthropology and the origins of life itself. 480 page reprint in paperback. Line illus.
