One of the iconic characters of all Russian literature, Grigori Aleksandrovich Pechorin is the ultimate 'superfluous man.' An aristocratic rake who loves the game of manipulating the lives of those around him, he callously kidnaps a Chechen teenager to be his bride, wagers the life of an inveterate gambler in a kind of philosophical Russian roulette, and engages in dangerous games with Crimean smugglers. 'A Hero of Our Time' is really a collection of stories rather than a novel, culminating in the brilliant psychological novella 'Princess Mary,' in which Pechorin toys tragically with the loves of two fragile women and sacrifices the life of his own friend for the sake of his own sociopathic amusement. In the process, he dissects his own motives with a kind of ruthless, surgical precision through which occasionally we see the human soul of a man in agony, who might not really want to be what he has become and who grieves over the loss of his own capacity for love and compassion. - Summary by Expatriate

But thankfully, equally brave, talented detectives (some of them hooded) are there to track them down and thwart their twisted plans. These six stories, along with two 'true fact detective shorts' were in the magazine Hooded Detective, January 1942. Are they well written? well, no, but they are fun. Here are a few of the blurbs: 'They had expected spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner, but were served instead, hot lead, with a little bit of blood on the side....' (A Dinner Date with Murder) 'Wilson Lamb cuddled his automatic to play 'Mr. Death' and fingered little Louis Engel for coffin cargo. But when he pulled the trigger, Whisper the gun-cobra from Chi spilled out of Doom's deck..' (Candidate for a Coffin). How can you top that last sentence? - Summary by Phil chenevert More information: http://librivox.org/hooded-detective-6-action-packed-pulp-detective-stories-by-t-w-ford/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

He wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, arguably the most famous published Christian allegory. In the Church of England he is remembered with a Lesser Festival on 30 August. Bunyan became a popular preacher as well as a prolific author, though most of his works consist of expanded sermons. In theology he was a Puritan, but there was nothing gloomy about him. The portrait his friend Robert White drew, which has often been reproduced, shows the attractiveness of his true character.

It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country. He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics.(Jim Mowatt) More information: http://librivox.org/the-history-of-england-from-the-accession-of-james-iivol-4-ch-17-by-thomas-babington-macaulay/
