Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Tom Stallings, a retired university professor and widower, returns to his small hometown of Eden Valley, Pennsylvania, to spend the Christmas holidays with his three older siblings. While he is there, he renews his relationship with his high school sweetheart, Lisa Stevens, and reunites with his two life-long buddies-one who is now the mayor of Eden and the other who is sheriff. Because of their trusted friendship, they manage to persuade Tom to help out at the police station until their staffing shortage can be resolved. Although Tom has no law enforcement or investigative experience, he quite unexpectedly finds himself becoming personally involved in the disappearance of Susie Carter, an eighteen-year-old local girl and friend of the family. It is a case that evolves into a series of stories based on deception, lies, and secrets, and for each tale the common thread appears to lead Tom back to the old Crick Road Bridge, a favorite swimming hole when he was a teenager.As the mystery unfolds, Tom must contend with the small-town gossip and fear that causes neighbors to doubt one another and even make false accusations. Additionally, the relationship between Tom and Lisa very quickly develops into a genuine love affair, and he must grapple with dividing his time and attention between his love for Lisa and the unwitting promise he makes to Susie's father that he will find his missing daughter.Tom knows that every hour is precious as he struggles to unravel the secrets of Crick Road Bridge, and with multiple suspects to choose from, the reader will be kept guessing as to whether Tom will be able to identify the real kidnapper before time runs out and Susie Carter becomes just another cold statistic.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Coloured by poverty and horrifying brutality, Gorky's childhood equipped him to understand - in a way denied to a Tolstoy or a Turgenev - the life of the ordinary Russian. This volume of an autobiographical trilogy, was in part an act of exorcism. It describes a life begun in the raw, remembered with charm and poignancy and without bitterness.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Aleksey Peshkov overcame indigence, violence, and suicidal despair to become Maksim Gorky, one of the most widely read and influential writers of the twentieth century. Childhood, the first book in Gorky's acclaimed autobiographical trilogy, depicts his early years, when after his father's death he was taken to live in the home of his maternal grandfather, a violent and vindictive man who both provided the child with a rudimentary education and subjected him to savage beatings. With remarkable freshness and candor, Gorky immerses his reader in a young child's world, recreating in dynamic prose a boy's bewilderment at the senseless cruelty that surrounds him, his solace in the quiet beauty of the natural world, and his often funny, guileless observations of the many vivid characters who enter his early life. At the center of this story stands Gorky's grandmother, Akulina Kashirina, one of Russian literature's most remarkable heroines. Her tender love for her grandson serves as a vital antidote to the brutality that threatens to consume him. Her buoyant faith in a merciful, loving, but limited God provides the young Gorky with a life-affirming alternative to the vengeful, omniscient deity his grandfather worships ardently. Although often unsettling in its portrayal of the poverty and ignorance that gripped nineteenth-century Russia, Childhood is ultimately a heartening account of a young boy's formative struggle to overcome the limitations of a decaying and corrupt society, and the remarkable old woman who enabled him to succeed and instilled in him an abiding, fierce compassion for Russia's destitute and defenseless. Childhood is freshly and beautifully translated by Graham Hettlinger, lauded for his translations of Ivan Bunin.…
