Slocumb had the 1953 Eugene Lehman violin for less than a year and hoped it would take him through college and into his professional playing career. “I looked for a third time and it wasn’t there.” Slocumb, who had been playing violin since he was 9, went immediately to the hiding spot under his bed. In his senior year of high school, Slocumb’s family found their home ransacked after a trip to an amusement park.

Those novels can be described as a family saga, in that characters appear in various books and not always as a main character. The historical period ranges from the 1820s, up to World War Two. All but one of my historical novels are loosely connected, linked by a many-branched family tree: two German families who arrived in Texas in the late 1840s through the Adelsverein consortium, another family of mostly German descent who had long been residents of Pennsylvania before migrating to Texas in response to Stephen Austin’s invitation to settlers, and a fourth family of well-to-do Bostonians - who nonetheless, also have a connection to Texas. ![]() ![]() As the classic story, first told over half a century ago, moves forward, the greatest love affair in all fiction is reignited amidst heartbreak and joy, the endless, consuming passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler reaches its startling culmination.

And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands. Each carries a desperate hope-and a terrible secret. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it.

The novel is set in seventeenth-century Boston, a city governed by strict Puritan law.

She investigates medieval England, tsarist Russia, Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian novelists and modern essayists. What she produced is an eccentric and unofficial literary and social history from the fourteenth to the twentieth century, with an excursion to ancient Greece thrown in. She read, and wrote, as an outsider: a woman set to school in her father's library, denied the educational privileges of her male siblings - and with no fixed view of what constitutes 'English Literature'. In them, she attempts to see literature from the point of view of the 'common reader' - someone whom she, with Dr Johnson, distinguished from the critic and the scholar. ![]() This is Virginia Woolf's first collection of essays, published in 1925. ![]() |
