“Every time I finish a Charlotte Brontë novel, my heart pounds and my mind is disoriented. “ La Petite Americaine

“The deciding word in Charlotte Brontë’s ‘The Professor’ is mastery. At the heart of this narrative lies a quest for sexual, economic and social mastery.” The Thiessen Review

“As worthy as any other of Charlotte's works, even more so, as I think this book talks more about the writer's own view of life than any other of her novels.” Dolors

“What I love about Charlotte Brontë’s writing . . . is the way she writes about feelings and emotions. In The Professor she perfectly captures the loneliness and isolation a man might feel on arriving in an unfamiliar country with no money and without a friend in the world.” She Reads Novels Blog

THE PROFESSOR is Charlotte Brontë’s first novel which was only published after her death. Read this great novel in a beautifully presented edition specially designed for kindle. This is a book by the author of Jane Eyre which will stay with you forever.

“I really loved Villette - more so than Jane Eyre I think.” Maggie

“This may be my favourite book by the Brontë sisters . . . I really enjoyed the book, and am surprised to see that it isn’t nearly as popular as Jane Eyre, because Charlotte far surpasses her skills as an author and storyteller in this novel” Jules’ Book Reviews

“Lucy is an introverted, isolated, sarcastic heroine; she is extremely practical but not good at showing emotion. In fact, I think she’d rather just pretend she doesn’t have them. In addition, she mocks her “friends” mercilessly. All told, I found her completely relatable, even though she’s not the classical example of a perfect heroine. The back of the book promises two relationships: one with a doctor who frequents the pensione and the other with an irascible, emotional teacher.” A Girl Walks Into A Bookstore blog

“With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in face of unruly pupils, an initially suspicious headmaster and her complex feelings, first for the school's English doctor and then for a dictatorial professor.” The Guardian

VILLETTE is the story of Lucy Snowe, Charlotte Brontë’s unique and vivid heroine. Read one of the greatest novels of all time in a beautifully presented edition specially designed for kindle. This is a book by the author of Jane Eyre which will stay with you forever.

The definitive edition of DON QUIXOTE
-illustrated with beautiful historical material and illustrations by Gustave Doré
-formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-linked table of contents to navigate easily
-this well regarded translation by John Ormsby includes an introduction

“Don Quixote is the world's best book say the world's top authors.” The Guardian

"If there is one novel you should read before you die, it is Don Quixote" Ben Okri

“Don Quixote is a funny book. I mean laugh out loud funny. Sometimes at work I would unplug my iPod and read out a scene . . . It is funny ironic, funny slapstick, funny base, funny absurd.” Drew Gummerson

“So the best thing to say up front, perhaps, is get hold of Don Quixote and make time for it. It will be worth the television sitcoms you skip, the thirty or so quiet evenings you spend on it . . . But the book quite staggered me with its charm, beauty, and profundity. Once you enter (or re-enter) its expansive, ruminative, deeply nourishing world, the literary equivalent of eating "slow food," it's hard not to become a bit of a bore about how stupendous it is.” Terry Castle, The Atlantic

“I practically did a dance when I read this. It was wonderful. So many different characters drifted through this book and I became attached to all of them. I felt like something had been taken away from me when I finished.” 1001 Books you must read before you die

“Alonso Quixada, a retired gentleman of La Mancha, his mind addled through overconsumption of chivalric romances, dons a home-made helmet and rusty armour, saddles up his hack Rocinante, recruits a squire in the person of Sancho Panza (a local labourer lured by the promise of his own island to govern) and sets out as a knight-errant to perform feats of bravery in honour of his (supposed) lady, Dulcinea.” Adam Newey, The Guardian

DON QUIXOTE is Cervantes’s original, epic, and hilarious masterpiece in a specially produced edition. This is one of the best and most accessible English translations of the classic text. Packed full of beautiful illustrations and formatted for Kindle.

“I found this one full of more humor than all the other Brontë novels. I was grinning at her skewering of the awkward social habits of various neighbors, and at the bantering between friends and siblings. Those moments, along with the swooning crushes, brought the 1800s to life for me. “ Molly Ringle

“Much creepier than I expected and much smarter, The Island of Dr. Moreau, as with so much of H.G. Wells' science fiction, addressed the ethical pitfalls of a scientific eventuality far too early to be anything other than prophetic, yet it still manages to be more entertaining than preachy.“ Brad

“A thoroughly beautiful, eerie, entertaining read. This story is adventurous and terrifying in the same breath.” Nicola

LEE OLDS IS BACK



The writer Lee Olds sold 250,000 books in the 1960s and achieved great critical success. After a period in the publishing wilderness his books are now finally being released by Not So Noble Books for a new audience. His first novel ‘Too Much Sun’ came out in June and two of his other novels will be published this summer. 

TOO MUCH SUN is available on Amazon now:


 Product Details

Praise for TOO MUCH SUN:

“The astonishing first novel about a runaway kid in Alaska”

“By Kerouac out of Salinger . . . The pioneer of a new post-Beatnik generation.” New York Herald Tribune

“Rowdy, wild and bawdy. Barry is as engaging as Holden Caulfield and as believable.” Book of the Month Club

LEE OLDS describes himself thus:

“Grew up in mansion of rich parents, made honor roll plus athletic plaudits in prep school I detested and was asked to leave at year's end. Went to work, traveled to Alaska, Got B.A. from Cal Berkeley, M.A. in philosophy from SF State. My thesis was on 'time, space, and infinity' and though my adviser said his committee had decided to award me the degree he also claimed if he read it over for six months he doubted he'd understand it. Worked on waterfront in Manhattan as well as San Francisco. Was disinherited along the way. Wintered for many years in Puerto Vallarta. Wrote (and still do) constantly though I have been accused of being too original to be published, too harsh, too fatalistic, etc. well, I’m still here writing and perhaps now getting published.
     
As Condorcet once said, 'the time will come when the sun will shine only upon a world of free men who recognize no master except their own reason, when tyrants, slaves, priests and their stupid or hypocritical tools will no longer exist except in history or on the stage'. One, of course, wonders if that time will ever come. must strive for it...”

An Interview with LEE OLDS


Q: You sold 1/4 million copies of Too Much Sun in the 60s What was it like being a best-selling author? What happened after that?

LO. What was it like being a 'best-selling' author? Nothing really. I’d just gotten something out there. it enabled me to engage some interesting people in Manhattan on a different level, but the publicity wasn't that great since Vanguard Press, the hardcover publisher promoted it little, and despite rave reviews bookstores didn't sell (or stock) many. The mass sales took place in worldwide supermarkets or chain stores of the paperback Bantam edition where people could pick the book up, read a few pages and either buy it or not.

After that no general trade house would publish my many submissions. Their invariable answer was 'though I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book I’d never publish it'.

Q: Too Much Sun is a coming of age story, does it mirror your own life?

LO: All first novels are pretty much bound to mirror one's life. It certainly helped develop my philosophy of it.

Q: What prompted you to work with Not So Noble, the upstart digital publishers who are releasing three of your novels?  

LO: ‘Not So Noble' caters to the arcane which my novels are, though how other trade house publishers have not picked up on this I can't say. Americans, of course, don't write philosophical novels. Might that be the reason they don't publish them? They’re too interested in perpetrating the great American myth, i.e. a country beyond analysis or quantification.

Q: You live in California, I imagine you as a 'Henry Miller in Big Sur' type figure, how far off am I?

LO:  Of course, have been exposed to all the scenes, jazz,  peace movement, rock movement, so-called spiritual quest in Big Sur and the Haight Ashbury, sometimes as an integral part of  but mostly behind them as my curiosity works in philosophical, strange, almost voyeuristic ways. They’re certainly a valid part of me, as valid as any other. I want to see whether they have any long lasting edifying effects for what one might call a better society. Or were they merely a gratuitous, hedonistic fad for capitalism to feed on and make the claim it has artists, more PR B.S.

Q: How has your writing style changed over the years?

LO: My writing style has changed over the years by becoming more didactically focused, more cooperation, less competition more socialism and atheism, less capitalism and religion two latter ideals which I believe as did the late Hitchens and Dawkins are bringing the world to an unpleasant close. Man has to confront man. Sublimations won't do it.

Q: Do you read much fiction, if so what, who are your favourite authors and why, and how has your reading changed since when you wrote Too Much Sun?

Who do I read? Tolstoy, Hamsun, Gide, Celine, Traven, Lowry, Conrad, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, etc. etc. VS Naipaul, Neruda, Borges, Marquez, Rulfo, Lillo, Hesse, Mann, Broch, Musil, Mishima, Ooka, Forester, Mistry, and many others with whom I can identify with and/or learn from. I don't read American writers much. James, Crane, Wharton and of course Lovecraft and Poe are among my favorites. The big four, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner and Fitzgerald I can do without though some of Faulkner and Fitzgerald provides interesting psychological insights. As to Pynchon, De Lillo, Franzen, Bellow, Vollman et al, forget it. As de Beauvoir said, but what about people. Where, I wonder, is the 'big picture' in America? It’s an interesting country. It must be somewhere. I’m still looking. I must say I don't consider myself well read. Foreign films are the same. You go to them to find life; not to Hollywood the bed of sensationalism and cheap entertainment.

Q: What next for Lee Olds?

LO:  Right now I’m reworking various versions of my past novels that I still hope to have published. I feel they'll better express my philosophy, i.e., no god, no free will, no nothingness. Happenstance and disposition as in evolution rule. In my foreshortening, the style itself suggests the perhaps uncomfortable, claustrophobic philosophy as well as a closer look, I believe, as to how things in actuality causally transpire. If we adapt to what I consider to be that more scientifically valid dictum and everything else goes well for us it just might lead to a more peaceful coexistence of species.

The Flight of the Goeben and the Breslau by Archibald Berkeley Milne

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DNH506Q/


The Flight of the Goeben and the Breslau (First World War Centenary Classics)

“For the peoples of the Middle East SMS Goeben carried more slaughter, more misery and more ruin than has ever before been borne within the compass of a ship.” Winston Churchill

“No other single exploit cast so long a shadow upon the world as the voyage accomplished by their commander [over]…seven days.” Barbara Tuchman

This is the account by Admiral Archibald Berkeley Milne of his forlorn search, in the capacity of Commander in Chief of the British forces in the Mediterranean, for the Goeben, the German battlecruiser whose fate was to have a decisive impact on the whole of the First World War. In the first two weeks of the war, the powerful Goeben and the smaller Breslau would slip out of the grasp of the Allied forces and fall into the hands of Turkey, accelerating that country’s entry into the war against Britain.

Despite being exonerated by the Admiralty, Milne attracted much criticism for his handling of this early episode in the war which was to have such drastic and bloody effects. Here is his side of this fascinating story in his own words.

“Possibly the greatest novel ever written. Tolstoy captures the rollercoaster arc of Anna's passion for Vronsky, and shows us the impossibility of her love ever being a match for what she's lost. “ Esther Freud

“What stuck with me about the novel was that fated love affair where that most beautiful of women, Anna Karenina, is driven by passion into the arms of that most engaging of heroes, Vronsky.” Gillian Slovo

“A sexy and engrossing read, this book tells the tale of one of the most enthralling love affairs in the history of literature” Oprah’s Book Club

ANNA KARENINA is one of the greatest novels ever written, presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle. This is Tolstoy’s epic love story which will stay with you forever.
