One of the particular pleasures of reading Kim is the full rangeof emotion, knowledge, and experience that Rudyard Kipling giveshis complex hero. Kim O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldierstationed in India, is neither innocent nor victimized. Raised byan opium-addicted half-caste woman since his equally dissolutefather's death, the boy has grown up in the streets of Lahore: Though he was burned black as any native; though he spoke thevernacular by preference, and his mother-tongue in a clippeduncertain sing-song; though he consorted on terms of perfectequality with the small boys of the bazar; Kim was white--a poorwhite of the very poorest. From his father and the woman who raised him, Kim has come tobelieve that a great destiny awaits him. The details, however, area bit fuzzy, consisting as they do of the woman's addled propheciesof "'a great Red Bull on a green field, and the Colonel riding onhis tall horse, yes, and'--dropping into English--'nine hundreddevils.'" In the meantime, Kim amuses himse

HANDFUL OF DUST, A(ISBN=9780375414206)
"All over England people were waking up, queasy anddespondent." Few writers have walked the line between farce and tragedy asnimbly as Evelyn Waugh, who employed the conventions of the comicnovel to chip away at the already crumbling English class system.His 1934 novel, A Handful of Dust , is a sublime example ofhis bleak satirical style: a mordantly funny exposé of aristocraticdecadence and ennui in England between the wars. Tony Last is an aristocrat whose attachment to an ideal feudalpast is so profound that he is blind to his wife Brenda's boredomwith the stately rhythms of country life. While he earnestly playsthe lord of the manor in his ghastly Victorian Gothic pile, shesets herself up in a London flat and pursues an affair with thesocial-climbing idler John Beaver. In the first half of the novelWaugh fearlessly anatomizes the lifestyles of the rich andshameless. Everyone moves through an endless cycle of parties andcountry-house weekends, being scrupulously polite in public andutterly horrid in

WAR AND PEACE(ISBN=9780375760648)
From Library Journal Thanks to Britishnarrator Frederick Davidson's performance, it is safe to say thatthere will not be a better recording of Tolstoy's masterpiece forsome time. The heart of this drama is the metamorphosis of fivefamiliesAsome peasant, some aristocraticAamid the backdrop of theNapoleonic Wars. Each individual is immersed in experiences andconversations elucidating Tolstoy's themes of self-sacrifice andself-indulgence, anguish and ecstasy, diplomacy and deception, andreligion and perdition. The complexities of character and plot aresometimes enigmatic, and names are often exhausting to recollect,but the genius of this book is everlasting. The impressive dialogsparkles with humor and wit, and the vivid scenes of battle areriveting. An entire universe is created by one of the foremostthinkers of the 19th century, and Davidson's exquisite narrationheightens the perfection of this novel, regarded as one of thegreatest in literature. Highly recommended for allcollections.ABarbara Mann, Adelphi

Cousin Pons(ISBN=9780140442052)
Novel by Honore de Balzac, published in 1847 as Le CousinPons . One of the novels that makes up Balzac's series LaComedie humaine (The Human Comedy), Cousin Pons is oftenpaired with La Cousine Bette under the title Les Parentspauvres ("The Poor Relations"). One of the last and greatest ofBalzac's novels of French urban society, the book tells the storyof Sylvain Pons, a poor musician who is swindled by his wealthyrelatives when they learn that his collection of art and antiquesis worth a fortune. In contrast to his counterpart Cousin Bette,who seeks revenge against those who have humiliated her, CousinPons suffers passively as his health deteriorates and he eventuallydies. Balzac shows how a person without means can be crushed by asociety that has no values except material ones. -- The Merriam-Webster Encylopedia ofLiterature

TO THE LIGHTHOUSE(ISBN=9780679405375)
From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. It's wondrous to listen to a fine reading of along-loved novel. Leishman makes masterly use of volume, timbre andresonance to distinguish between characters and draw us into theemotional swings and vibrations of the internal musings of each.She creates not a new but a more nuanced reading, following theinterwoven streams of consciousness in a British English that lendsauthenticity to each voice. Leishman swims smoothly through Woolf'ssentences that ebb and flow with numerous parenthetical thoughtsand fresh images. These passages are interspersed with quick,sharp, simple sentences that gain strength in contrast. Leishmanalso draws our attention to Woolf's poetic prose: her rhythms andimages, her use of hard consonants in monosyllabic words incounterpoint to long, soft, dreamy words and phrases. To TheLighthouse plays back and forth between telescopic and microscopicviews of nature and human nature. Mrs. Ramsey is both trapped inand pleased in her roles as wife, mother an
