| Description: |
A summary of the "roaring twenties", and a expose of the "Jazz Age", this book, through the narration of Nick Carraway, takes the reader into the world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. |
| Synopsis: |
With an Introduction and Notes by Guy Reynolds, University of Kent at Canterbury, this book is generally considered to be F Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel. "The Great Gatsby" is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. |

Solar
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different.

Molotov's Magic Lantern
When Rachel Polonsky went to live in Moscow, she found an apartment block in Romanov Street. One apartment had been Vyacheslav Molotov's, Stalin's henchman. Molotov was ruthless - and an ardent bibliophile. Rachel visited cities and landscapes associated with the books in his library. In each place, she encountered the spirit of great artists such as Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova - and the terrible past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism.

Love Bites
Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed, Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one of the funniest.
