Fitzgerald was an American writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald`s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. Being acclaimed by generations of readers, the story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan remains one of the most famous Fitzgerald`s works. It is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. All the Sad Young Men is a wonderful short-story collection. It contains two of the most famous tales: the beautifully elegiac "The Rich Boy" and "Winter Dreams", dealing with wealthy protagonists as they come to terms with lost love and "Absolution", a boy`s confession to a priest.

A new, small-format edition of one of Gorey`s "dark masterpieces of surreal morality" (Vanity Fair) - a witty, disquieting journey through the alphabet.
In a hidden studio in an area of Rome where the Vatican liked to keep an eye on the city’s prostitutes, an art expert from the Louvre is found dead in front of one of the most beautiful paintings that Nic Costa has ever seen – an unknown Caravaggio masterpiece. But before long tragedy will strike Nic far closer to home. The main suspect’s identity is known, but he remains untouchable – protected in his grand palazzo by a fleet of lawyers and a sinister cult known as the Ekstasists. If Costa and his team can crack the reasons for the cult’s existence, he may well stand a chance of nailing the double-killer. But the mystery will take him right back to Caravaggio himself and the reasons he had to flee Rome all those centuries
