Notes from Underground
Notes from the Underground is a dystopian tale of the Underground Man, a retired civil servant living in St Petersburg who retreats from society. This work is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel and influenced many classic works including Metamorphosis and Invisible Man.
The tale draws on Dostoevsky's acute observation of Russian life; his thoughts on philosophy and social mores; and his reactions to the work of Nikolai Gogol. At its heart lies Dostoevsky's rumination on the need to establish one's true identity and how society can distort the perception of who one truly is.
This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic translation by Constance Garnett; a facsimile of Dostoevsky's signature on the title page; silver gilded page edges and beautifully designed endpapers. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series this book makes wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.

Hopeless Necromantic - The Catseye Chronicles 1
SHE RAISES HELL. HE RAISES THE DEAD. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
When new recruit Helspira takes on the doomed mission that no other soldier wants, life - and death - start to get a little complicated.
Helspira must play escort to Sikras - a frustratingly handsome necromancer with the power to raise the dead - as he attempts a mission that he's failed twice before; stopping an undead army at the edges of the kingdom.
No-one thinks he will succeed. Not even Sikras. But the more time the two spend together, the more they find they can imagine a brighter future. As secrets come out and the two grow closer - and Sikras's lively skeleton companion Benjamin tries desperately not to be a third wheel - will Sikras' and Helspira's changing feelings for each other be enough to overcome the growing danger?
RAISE A GLASS. RAISE THE DEAD. JUST DON'T RAISE YOUR HOPES.
Necromantasy is the new romantasy in Hopeless Necromantic, a debut romantic fantasy for fans of Gideon the Ninth, The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy, Long Live Evil or Assistant to the Villain.

Two Lives with You
“Who knew flirting with your husband who doesn’t know he’s your husband could be this romantic?” —Mindy KalingWhat if they never married? For an overwhelmed husband and wife, that what-if wish comes true in an emotional and bittersweet novel about choices, sacrifice, and the love that they might lose forever. When Dana and Nigel got married, they had such promise. After sixteen years, the cracks are showing. Dana is a burned-out ER nurse, and Nigel is a recently unemployed stay-at-home dad whose professional identity is disappearing. Questioning the directions their lives have taken, Dana and Nigel are each granted a wish from a mysterious stranger. For one week they can escape the pressure of their lives in favor of ones in which they never married. Waking up in an alternate reality where their youthful, individual dreams have come true is, at first, a marvel. When they meet by chance in Bali, Dana recognizes Nigel instantly, but he feels only an inexplicable connection to this stranger. And they discover there’s a catch to their wishes. Returning to normal—and to the long-haul love they vowed would be forever—won’t be as easy as they thought. As the clock ticks down, Dana and Nigel face an impossible choice that will test the very foundation of their relationship and alter their lives forever.
Mrs Dalloway
Set in London during the aftermath of the First World War, the elegant Clarissa Dalloway is putting the finishing touches on her house as she prepares to host a high-society party. Meanwhile, Septimus Smith struggles with the after-effects of shell-shock. At first glance, the two could not appear to be any more different - Dalloway is a middle-aged woman at home in the high-flying lifestyle of the prosperous upper classes, while Smith is poor, young and traumatised. And yet the two narratives brilliantly interweave to tell a haunting tale of life in interwar London.

When fate-and fame-pull them back into each other's orbit, the sparks are instant.But the scars left by one another still burn deep. To move forward, they'll have to unearth every truth they buried.

Visions in the Frame
Reveals how mise-en-scene has shaped the fields of film and television studies. Visions in the Frame provides a detailed evaluation of the journey and status of mise-en-scene—the organization of the visual field within the frame—as a critical concept in film and television studies. The first part of the book looks at the persistence of mise-en-scene within film studies amid a series of fluctuations in theoretical, historical, cultural, philosophical, and critical approaches. The second part shifts focus to consider television studies and the extent to which mise-en-scene has remained an ambiguous element in the growth of the discipline. The third part engages in a series of close readings from a range of styles and genres of television shows, exploring the relationship between visual composition, meaning, and significance as a central critical focus. Across the three parts of the book, Visions in the Frame presents a rigorous and valuable context for understanding the contrasting position and influence of mise-en-scene within film and television studies, using this to offer guidance for its future role within both disciplines.
Universal Tyranny
Elucidates the shared insight into the critique of tyrannical rule among Plato, Xenophon, and Aristotle. Universal Tyranny offers the first comprehensive interpretation of the critique of tyranny in the thought of Socrates's greatest students: Plato, Aristotle, and Xenophon. The Socratics are the only thinkers to confront the problem of tyranny on its own terms, as a permanent and plausibly attractive option in politics. They explore what people find attractive in tyrannical power and elucidate the core psychological features of tyrannical ambition: pleasure in violence toward enemies, hostility to the rule of law, a desire for love and admiration, and a rejection of any limit to the fulfillment of one's desires. In their view, these characteristics are not the result of anomalous sadism but of misguided and unhealthy versions of attributes that otherwise play an important role in human flourishing. Through a synthetic study of the early Socratic school, author Avery Williams argues that tyrannical rule debases not only the tyrant's subject but the tyrant himself, making true human excellence impossible. Tyranny thus fails at the fundamental aim of politics: It makes neither ruler nor ruled happy.
Derrida and Prosthetic Usage; or, How to Return to Cinder
Explores in both theory and practice the deconstructive demand to never let traces die. At a time when technological advancements, especially LLMs, have all of us wondering about the future of reading and writing, Derrida and Prosthetic Usage; or, How to Return to Cinder studies deconstruction as an ethical injunction to read and write on every technological surface one can find or create. To study this general theory of deconstruction, and Derrida's powerful demand that we "never let the dead bury the dead," this book works in tandem with the website Return to Cinder, an enormous concordance of notes on Derrida taken by author Jake Reeder. Less media studies and more a reading of philosophy and thought in general, Reeder claims that all thought, speech, and writing are forms of re-marking, and that imbedded in the condensation of every re-mark is the demand to create new technological formats. Thus, returning to cinder is both a call for more technological innovation in the humanities and a call to leave more traces.
Man on a Mission
Man on a Mission is the inside story of David Sheepshanks’ time leading both Ipswich Town and the Football League, and how his drive to build the FA’s St George’s Park is enabling England to be winners again. There were ecstatic highs, like finally winning promotion at Wembley after three successive play-off defeats, finishing fifth in the Premier League and beating Inter Milan; but also the painful lows of the realities of life in the Championship caused by the ever-widening financial gulf between the top two flights. Packed with anecdotes and a cast ranging from Bobby Robson and Alex Ferguson to Elton John and Mark Knopfler, this book lifts the lid on what really happened when Ipswich was sold to Marcus Evans, and follows Sheepshanks on his fascinating journey through nearly a quarter of a century in leadership roles in the corridors of football power.

Leina never asked to be chosen. And she's certainly not interested in saving the kingdom that enslaved her people.
But destiny has other plans... and the gods should fear what they've awakened.
