Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien`s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien`s own design, the definitive text, & a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power
- the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring
- the ring that rules them all
- which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home & make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring & foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Now published again in B format, J.R.R. Tolkien`s great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance & a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic & homely, epic & diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene & character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail.

The Female Detective was published in 1864 & it introduces the first professional female detective in British fiction, Mrs Gladden. Typical of detective fiction of its time, Forrester`s book features various cases narrated by Gladden, whose deductive methods & energetic approach anticipate those of Arthur Conan Doyle`s Sherlock Holmes. Mrs Gladden uses similar methods to her male counterparts
- she enters scenes of crime incognito, tracking down killers while trying to conceal her own tracks & her identity from others. She does much physical detective work, examining scenes of crime, looking for clues & employing all manner of skill, subterfuge, observation & charm to achieve her ends. Like Holmes, Gladden regards the regular constabulary with disdain. For all the intrigue & interest of the stories, little is ever revealed about Mrs Gladden herself, & her personal circumstances remain a mystery throughout. But it is her ability to apply her considerable energy & intelligence to solve crimes that is her greatest appeal, & the reappearance of the original lady detective will be welcomed by fans of crime fiction.

This is the new novel from Milan Kundera. Casting light on the most serious of problems & at the same time saying not one serious sentence; being fascinated by the reality of the contemporary world & at the same time completely avoiding realism
- that`s The Festival of Insignificance. Readers who know Kundera`s earlier books know that the wish to incorporate an element of the ”unserious” in a novel is not at all unexpected of him. In Immortality, Goethe & Hemingway stroll through several chapters together talking & laughing. & in Slowness, Vera, the author`s wife, says to her husband: ”you`ve often told me you meant to write a book one day that would have not a single serious word in it...I warn you: watch out. Your enemies are lying in wait.” Now, far from watching out, Kundera is finally & fully realizing his old aesthetic dream in this novel that we could easily view as a summation of his whole work. A strange sort of summation. Strange sort of epilogue. Strange sort of laughter, inspired by our time, which is comical because it has lost all sense of humor. What more can we say? Nothing. Just read.
