Yambo, a sixty-ish rare book dealer who lives in Milan has suffered a loss of memory; not the kind of memory neurologists call `semantic` (Yambo remembers all about Julius Caesar and can recite every poem he has ever read), but rather his `autobiographical` memory: he no longer knows his own name, doesn`t recognize his wife or his daughters, doesn`t remember anything about his parents or his childhood. His wife, who is at his side as he slowly begins to recover, convinces him to return to his family home in the hills somewhere between Milan and Turin. Yambo promptly retreats to the sprawling attic, cluttered with boxes of newspapers, comics, records, photo albums and adolescent diaries. There, he relives the story of his generation:...

The Man with the Golden Gun, Paco Scaramanga, is one of the deadliest hit men in the world and the British Secret Service want him eliminated. A brainwashed James Bond tried, and failed, to kill his boss, M. It`s time for him to prove he can be trusted again. Bond finds his man in the sweltering heat of Jamaica. His plan is to infiltrate Scaramanga`s gang of criminals to get close to the man himself. But if he fails, Bond will be the next target for the golden gun.
None of the great Victorian novels is more vivid and readable than `The Mayor of Casterbridge`. Set in the heart of Hardy`s Wessex, the `partly real, partly dream country` he founded on his native Dorset, it charts the rise and self-induced downfall of asingle `man of character`. The fast-moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and features some of the author`s most striking episodes and brilliant passages of description.

Wilkie Collins was an English novelist, playwright, and short story writer. The Moonstone, generally recognized as the first detective novel, is not only a work of historical importance but also a work that transcends the genre it created, in the artfulness of its plotting, in its compassionate depiction of servants, and in its enlightened resolution of the theme of the British Empire, its crimes and their consequences. Hinging on the theft of an enormous diamond originally stolen from an Indian shrine, this riveting novel features the innovative Sergeant Cuff, the hilarious house steward Gabriel Betteridge, a lovesick housemaid, and a mysterious band of Indian jugglers.
