"Moonfleet" (1898) begins as a mystery and an adventure story, a tale of smuggling set among the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset. What will be the outcome of the conflict between smugglers and revenue men? And how can the hero, John Trenchard, discover the secret of Colonel John Mohune`s treasure? As the book progresses these two interwoven themes resolve themselves into a third and richer one, with the friendship and suffering of both John Trenchard and the craggy, taciturn Elzevir Block. Falkner`s feeling for history and for the landscape of his Dorset setting combine with his gift for storytelling to turn "Moonfleet" into a historical romance of moving intensity.

Margaret Atwood`s latest brilliant collection of short stories follows the life of a single character, seen as a girl growing up the 1930s to a young woman in the 50s and 60s to half of a couple in the present day, no longer young, reflecting on the new state of the world. Each story focuses on the ways that relationships transform a character`s life: a woman`s complex love for a married man, the grief upon the death of parents and the joy with the birth of children, the realization of what growing old with someone you love really means. By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwood`s celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.
