FROM THE PUBLISHER - The story of Victor Frankenstein and of the monstrous creature he created has held the reading public spellbound since its publication almost a century and a half ago. On the surface, it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting horror; but on a more profound level, it offers searching illumination of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience and of a monster brought to life in an alien world, ever more desperately attempting to escape the torture of his solitude. A brilliant exercise in the macabre, written with near - hallucinatory intensity, Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination. Of its contemporary significance, Harold Bloom writes: 'The greatest paradox and most astonishing achievement of Mary Shelley's novel is that the monster is more human than his creator. This nameless being, as much a modern Adam as his creator is a modern Prometheus, is more lovable than his creator and more hateful, more to be pitied and more to be feared, and above all able to give the attentive reader that shock of added consciousness in which aesthetic recognition compels a heightened realization of the self.' inventory #31256, 0, New York, NY, USA.: Marvel Comics/Curtis. , 1976.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Impressionistic and experimental, these stories from the middle period of Chekhov’s career explore complex, ambiguous and often extreme emotions, presenting a world without easy answers or universal truths. Influenced by Chekhov’s experiences as a doctor, ‘Ward No. 6’, set in a mental hospital, is a savage indictment of the medical profession. ‘The Black Monk’, the story of an academic who has strange hallucinations, explores ideas of genius and insanity. Both ‘A Woman’s Kingdom’ and the extended tale ‘Three Years’ show women discovering that money, marriage and choices do not bring happiness. In ‘Murder’, religious fervour leads to violence, while in The Student’, Chekhov’s favourite story, a young man recounts a tale from the gospels and undergoes a sudden spiritual epiphany. Here, Chekhov’s characters face madness, alienation and frustration before they experience brief, ephemeral moments of insight, often earned at great cost, where they confront the reality of their existence.

True friendship, true community, social and sexual alienation, the death of God, the importance of the present momment, individual autonomy, the corruption of the state, revolution, the end of the present age -- such are the intellectual themes of classic rock. Sixties rock music left behind the harmless bubblegum and surfing ditties of the 1950s to become a vehicle for the thoughtful commentary upon the human condition. Theories and motifs from philosophy, theology, and literature were reshaped, refracted, and transfigured in this intelligent new popular art form. -- rear panel blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 280 pages.

The Four Just Men is the brilliantly crafted first novel of Edgar Wallace, England's "King of the Thrillers." Wallace issued the original edition (1905) without a concluding chapter and offered substantial cash prizes to readers who could figure out the ending. He lost a considerable sum of money but won an enduring place in the public eye for his audacity. This Dover reprint includes the complete text of the first edition, the concluding chapter from a later edition and a facsimile of Wallace's original contest blank. You'll also find an informative introduction outlining the literary talents and public-relations genius that made Wallace so remarkably prolific a master of crime fiction and the most popular writer of his day. The cat-and-mouse game played for the life of Sir Philip Ramon is quite as sensational as the contest and publicity campaign that promoted it; Seekers of fast-paced reading excitement need look no further. The Four Just Men is an absorbing, provocative and sure-to-please literary entertainment. Unabridged (1984) republication of the main text of the first edition, originally published by The Tallis Press, London, 1905, plus the concluding chapter in the form originally published by George Newnes, London, 1911. New Introduction by Alan Weissman. Facsimile of contest blank from the original edition. 160pp. ---- Manfred, Poiccart, Gonsalez and Thery are modern-day vigilantes - angels of death who mete out punishment to wrongdoers whom the law cannot (or will not) touch. "We kill for justice," says Manfred, "which lifts us out of the ruck of professional slayers." "The Four Just Men" have marked Sir Philip Ramon for death because of his support of the unjust Aliens Extradition Bill- -they have even made public the exact day and hour of the EngHsh Foreign Secretary's execution. The Four have never failed to carry out their threats - they assassinated a corrupt French military contractor "with a hundred policemen within call," and hanged a murderous South American despot from his own public gallows ... and escaped. Is it any wonder that Superintendent Falmouth, with all the King's horses and all the King's men at his disposal, nevertheless fears he may be unable to stay Ramon's sentence? . 1st Prtg.
