The Gloved Hand
Excerpt: I was genuinely tired when I got back to the office, that Wednesday afternoon, for it had been a trying day—the last of the series of trying days which had marked the progress of the Minturn case; and my feeling of depression was increased by the fact that our victory had not been nearly so complete as I had hoped it would be. Besides, there was the heat; always, during the past ten days, there had been the heat, unprecedented for June, with the thermometer climbing higher and higher and breaking a new record every day.As I threw off coat and hat and dropped into the chair before my desk, I could see the heat-waves quivering up past the open windows from the fiery street below. I turned away and closed my eyes, and tried to evoke a vision of white surf falling upon the beach, of tall trees swaying in the breeze, of a brook dropping gently between green banks.

Eyes on the Street
The first major biography of the irrepressible woman who changed the way we view and live in cities, and whose influence is felt to this day.
Jane Jacobs was a phenomenal woman who wrote seven groundbreaking books, saved neighborhoods, stopped expressways, was arrested twice, and engaged in thousands of impassioned debates--all of which she won. Robert Kanigel's revelatory portrait of Jacobs, based on new sources and interviews, brings to life the child who challenged her third-grade teacher; the high school poet; the mother who raised three children; the journalist who honed her skills at Architectural Forum and Fortune before writing her most famous book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities; and the activist who helped lead a successful protest against Robert Moses's proposed expressway through her beloved Greenwich Village.
The Cat's Eye
When Andrew Drayton, a collector of jewelry, is found stabbed to death and the young woman who tried to stop the murderer is wounded, Dr Thorndyke is called in to investigate. But although the scene of the crime seems awash with the fingerprints of the attacker, there may be good reason why the police can't trace the killer. But not only are the facts of the case proving to be vexing but the discovery of a secret chamber and its sinister contents help to reveal that this is no ordinary murder and no ordinary murderer is behind it.

Robur the Conqueror
The story begins with strange lights and sounds, including blaring trumpet music, reported in the skies all over the world. The events are capped by the mysterious appearance of black flags with gold suns atop tall historic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. These events are all the work of the mysterious Robur (Latin for "oak" and figuratively taken to mean "strength"), a brilliant inventor who intrudes on a meeting of a flight-enthusiast's club called the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

A futuristic story of tragic love and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague, The Last Man is Mary Shelley's most important novel after Frankenstein. With intriguing portraits of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, the novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, and demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem the doomed characters.

Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil: 40th Anniversary (Deluxe Limited Box) 6LP
Mötley Crüe je americká heavymetalová skupina založená v Hollywoode v Kalifornii v roku 1981. Basgitarista Nikki Sixx a bubeník Tommy Lee sa najprv spojili s gitaristom/hlavným spevákom Gregom Leonom. Ale po nejakom čase Leona nahradil gitarista Mick Mars a hlavný spevák Michael White. Posledne menovaný bol čoskoro nahradený Vinceom Neilom a krátko na to bolo zvolené označenie Mötley Crüe. Skupina predala celosvetovo viac ako 100 miliónov albumov. Dosiahli tiež sedem platinových alebo multiplatinových certifikácií, deväť Top 10 albumov v rebríčku Billboard 200 (vrátane Dr. Feelgood z roku 1989, ktorý je jediným albumom Mötley Crüe, ktorý sa dostal na prvé miesto), dvadsaťdva hitov Top 40 mainstreamového rocku a šesť Top 20 popových singlov. Kapela zažila v priebehu rokov niekoľko zmien v zostave, pričom jediným stálym členom zostal Sixx; tieto zahŕňali predstavenie hlavného vokalistu Johna Corabiho (ktorý bol Neilovým náhradníkom v rokoch 1992 až 1996) a bubeníkov Randyho Castilla a Samanthy Maloneyovej, ktorí obaja nahradili Leeho po jeho odchode z Mötley Crüe v roku 1999; sa do kapely vrátil v roku 2004. V októbri 2022, po 41 rokoch služby, Mars oznámil svoj odchod z koncertovania s kapelou, pričom ho nahradil bývalý gitarista Marilyn Manson a Rob Zombie John 5.
Shout at the Devil je druhý štúdiový album, vydaný 23. septembra 1983 cez Elektra Records. Bol to prelomový album skupiny, vďaka ktorému sa Mötley Crüe stal jedným z najpredávanejších heavymetalových počinov 80. rokov. Single „Looks That Kill“ a „Too Young to Fall in Love“ boli pre kapelu miernymi hitmi.

The Baron's Sons
The post-prandial orator was in the midst of his toast, the champagne-foam ran over the edge of his glass and trickled down his fat fingers, his lungs were expanded and his vocal chords strained to the utmost in the delivery of the well-rounded period upon which he was launched, and the blood was rushing to his head in the generous enthusiasm of the moment. In that brilliant circle of guests every man held his hand in readiness on the slender stem of his glass and waited, all attention, for the toast to come to an end in a final dazzling display of oratorical pyrotechnics. The attendants hastened to fill the half-empty glasses, and the leader of the gypsy orchestra, which was stationed at the farther end of the hall, held his violin-bow in the air, ready to fall in at the right moment with a burst of melody that should drown the clinking of glasses at the close of the toast.

The Four Days' Night
Another in the "Doom of London" series, in which the author sounds a clarion call of potential disasters that may fall upon the great city. Here he relates a tale of air pollution. Excerpt:They crawled along through the black suffocating darkness, feeble, languid, and sweating at every pore. There was a murky closeness in the vitiated atmosphere that seemed to take all the strength and energy away. At any other time the walk to Clarence Terrace would have been a pleasure, now it was a penance. They found their objective after a deal of patience and trouble. Hackness yelled in the doorway. There was a sound of footsteps and Cynthia Grimfern spoke. "Ah, what a relief it is to know that you are all right," she said. "I pictured all sorts of horrors happening to you. Will this never end, Martin?" She cried softly in her distress. Hackness felt for her hand and pressed it tenderly. "We are going to try my great theory," he said. "Eldred is with me, andwe have got Williamson's permission to operate with the aeroplane."
