The King James Bible has often been called the Book of Books both in itself and in what it stands for.

`I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I travelled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain`... So begins Paul Auster`s remarkable new novel, The Brooklyn Follies.

The name Edgar Allan Рое conjures up thoughts of hearts beating long after their owners are dead, of disease and plague amid wealth, and of love that extends beyond the grave. The richness of Poe`s writing, however, includes much more than horror, loss, and death. Poe`s stories teem with irony and black humor, in addition to plot twists and surprise endings.
