In 1915, Lawrence`s frank representation of sexuality in The Rainbow caused a furore and the novel was seized by the police and banned almost as soon as it was published. Today it is recognised as one of the classic English novels of the twentieth century.The Rainbow is about three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire from the 1840s to the early years of the twentieth century. Within this framework Lawrence`s essential concern is with the passional lives of his characters as he explores the pressures that determine their lives, using a religious symbolism in which the `rainbow` of the title is his unifying motif.His primary focus is on the individual`s struggle to growth and fulfilment within marriage and changing social...

His case is against a giant insurance company which could have saved a young man`s life, but instead refused to pay the claim until it was too late.

The last book-length work of fiction by J. D. Salinger published in his lifetime collects two novellas about "one of the liveliest, funniest, most fully realized families in all fiction" (New York Times).These two novellas, set seventeen years apart, are both concerned with Seymour Glass--the eldest son of J. D. Salinger`s fictional Glass family--as recalled by his closest brother, Buddy. "He was a great many things to a great many people while he lived, and virtually all things to his brothers and sisters in our somewhat outsized family. Surely he was all real things to us: our blue-striped unicorn, our double-lensed burning glass, our consultant genius, our portable conscience, our supercargo, and our one full poet..."

The author writes: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker—Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters in 1955, Seymour: An Introduction in 1959. Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my still—uncompleted series about the Glass family. It struck me that they had better be collected together, if not deliberately paired off, in something of a hurry, if I mean them to avoid unduly or undesirably close contact with new material in the series. There is only my word for it, granted, but I have several new Glass stories coming along—waxing, dilating—each in its own way, but I suspect the less said about them, in mixed...
