Paperback. Etat : Good. Anna Sewell's classic book tells the story of Black Beauty, a handsome horse who is born and raised in happy circumstances. Unfortunately, in Victorian England horses were used much as people use cars today: they were things to be bought, sold and gotten rid of when they were no longer useful. Black Beauty is first sold to a good home, but as time passes he is sold again and again--and not always to people who treat him kindly or even give him common care. There are adventures aplenty, like a stable fire and a dangerous bridge; there are many memorable characters, like the horse Ginger and the kind cabbie Jerry. All of them are seen from Black Beauty's point of view, and beautifully, perfectly described. All in all Black Beauty is a very fine book, and one that every parent should place in the hands of their children.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Acclaimed graphic artist Peter Kuper presents a brilliant, darkly comic reimagining of Kafka's classic tale of family, alienation, and a giant bug. Kuper's electric drawings--which merge American cartooning with German expressionism--bring Kafka's prose to vivid life, reviving the original story's humor and poignancy in a way that will surprise and delight readers of Kafka and graphic novels alike. A brilliant illustrated adaptation of Franz Kafka's famous story. It's a real pleasure to read and one in which everyone will recognize the existential drama and uncanny wit of the original text.--Susan Bernstein, associate professor of comparative literature and German studies, Brown University. …

Paperback. Etat : Fair. H.G. Wells at his best The Island of Doctor Moreau is a chilling tale of secrets and shadows woven by the masterful pen of H.G. Wells, who is considered one of the fathers of science fiction. First published in 1896, this is the story of Edward Prendick, an Englishman who finds himself stranded on a remote island in the South Pacific after being shipwrecked. The island is home to Dr Moreau, an eminent physiologist from London who has fled England after his ghoulish experiments in vivisection had been publicly exposed. Prendick soon learns that Moreau has continued his experiments on the island of transforming animals into men with monstrous results. Worrying that he may be next on the list of subjects, Prendick flees into the jungle trying to escape whatever gruesome plan Moreau may have in store for him. The novel which has intrigued and horrified readers for generations deals with a number of philosophical themes, including interference with nature. the scientific quest to control and manipulate the natural world, pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, and, ultimately, human nature itself. Wells brought enormous inventiveness, an underlying social vision and moral concern to his strange tales and bizarre imaginings. A student of Darwinian biology, he formed his romantic conceptions of the scientific world at an early age. This is one of his earliest and most sinister novels in the science fiction genre and one of his best known works.…
