The Awkward Age

Henry James's «The Awkward Age» is the coming of age story of Nanda, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brookenham, a couple who travel in a rather decadent and corrupt social circle. Originally serialized in «Harper's Weekly» during 1898-1899, the novel is a biting attack on the English fin de siècle society life, what James personally believed to be an increasingly immoral and irresponsible time in English history.

The Betrothed

Set in northern Italy in 1628, during the terrible, oppressive years under Spanish rule, it is sometimes seen as a veiled attack on Austria, which controlled the region at the time the novel was written. It is also noted for the extraordinary description of the plague that struck Milan around 1630.

The Blue Behemoth

The Blue Behemoth

Shannon's Imperial Circus was a jinxed space-carny leased for a mysterious tour of the inner worlds. It made a one-night pitch on a Venusian swamp-town—to find that death stalked it from the jungle in a tiny ball of flame! Classic science fiction.
