Diplomacy by other means may, at times, sound heroic. A fight for principles and ideals carried out by young men armed to the teeth and directed by older men in pursuit of their own version of glory for themselves and their Nations. Right will triumph over wrong. But war can be an illusion, stirred up by schemers and opportunists to take something from other nations that may or may not be right. As blood and limb are sacrificed the true cost is seen but often set to one side as the dispute becomes embedded in emotions and reason falls away.

Fear affects us all in some way, shape or form. Whilst we would rather shy away from it in real life, when it comes to stories, we tend to move towards it. In this volume of short stories our malevolent authors, including the talents of H P Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, Charles Dickens, M R James, Victor Hugo, E T A Hoffman and many, many others, seem to take great delight in assaulting our senses with heart stopping narratives designed to put the fear of God, the Devil and just about every other form of disturbed terror into our eager hearts and minds.

Paru en 1874, il a pour toile de fond les plus terribles années de la Révolution française : la Terreur. À l'origine, ce roman devait constituer le dernier volume d'une trilogie romanesque consacrée à la Révolution française, dont L'Homme qui rit constituerait le premier volume, mais Victor Hugo n'a pas mené ce projet jusqu'à son terme (le deuxième tome sur la monarchie n'ayant jamais été rédigé).

They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that are difficult to achieve elsewhere. The City of Lights may be one of the glories of the world but for those whose three score and ten have passed it is the final resting place for some of the very finest of literary talents.

The classic tale of Les Miserables abridged for a ten year old child, yet still enjoyable for an adult of any age.

Murder comes in two familiar forms. Whether as a crime of passion with high emotions or a cold dispassionate plot to take life in order to gain in some way, the act strikes us all as somehow inhuman. Beneath us as civilised beings. But however we cloak our animal instincts the need to remove a human being and gain relief from abuse or gain from money, the term is just the same – MURDER. Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, J M Barrie, W W Jacobs and many others bring their literary heft to bear in as calculating a way as any killer could.

En un mar embravecido, un buque se encuentra en medio de una tormenta. A bordo, la tripulación lucha no solo contra la furia de la naturaleza, sino contra un cañón suelto que amenaza con destruir la embarcación. La desesperación y el coraje se entrelazan mientras los marineros enfrentan esta amenaza inesperada. Victor Hugo, en Pelear contra un cañón, nos sumerge en un intenso drama donde la lucha del hombre contra la máquina se convierte en una metáfora del desafío humano ante adversidades imprevistas.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.
