Stories
This major collection contains all of Doris Lessing’s short fiction, other than the stories set in Africa, from the beginning of her career until now. Set in London, Paris, the south of France, the English countryside, these thirty-five stories reflect the themes that have always characterized Lessing’s work: the bedrock realities of marriage and other relationships between men and women; the crisis of the individual whose very psyche is threatened by a society unattuned to its own most dangerous qualities; the fate of women.
A Dangerous Inheritance
A DANGEROUS INHERITANCE follows the lives of two Greek immigrant families who made Sydney their home in the nineteen fifties. From humble beginnings and hard work one family opened a restaurant in suburban Newtown, the other family could not adapt to the Australian way of life and returned to their home country leaving their 16 year old son, Sev, to fend for himself. He worked his way through university and in later years became a successful solicitor. From humble beginnings with the restaurant an empire was built importing kitchen appliances and foodstuffs from Europe. In later years love blossomed and families grew to take over management of the business. Then corruption entered the scene and the empire was threatened from within and by an international drug cartel. The book runs the full gamut from greatest love to deepest despair, drugs, corruption, and finally redemption.
Second Contact (Colonization, Book One)
“[A] tour de force of speculative historical fiction. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal In the extraordinary Worldwar tetralogy, set against the backdrop of World War II, Harry Turtledove, the “Hugo-winning master of alternate SF” (Publishers Weekly), wove an explosive saga of world powers locked in conflict against an enemy from the stars. Now he expands his magnificent epic into the volatile 1960s, when the space race is in its infancy and humanity must face its greatest challenge: alien colonization of planet Earth. Yet even in the shadow of this inexorable foe, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany are unable to relinquish their hostilities and unite against a massive new wave of extraterrestrials. For all the countries of the world, this is the greatest threat of all. This time, the terrible price of defeat will be the conquest of our world, and perhaps the extinction of the human race itself. Praise for Second Contact “An exciting, often surprising, story that will not only delight his fans but will probably send newcomers back to the Worldwar saga.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Outstanding entertainment.”—Booklist
