A Right Ambition (Text Only)
¥66.61
The origins of this book lie in its predecessor, Heroes and Contemporaries, published by my good friends at Collins in 1983. It was then felt that these present memoirs and observations would represent an interim collection of writings before I embark upon the story of my complete cricketing career.There is such intense interest in the lives and performances of public figures that one would need to be a recluse of hermit-like proclivity to avoid revealing personal details, opinions and beliefs. The trick is to try to satisfy that interest without leaving oneself entirely naked and I have not, as far as I know, committed myself in this book on race, religion, sex, politics or on the cricket correspondents of popular newspapers. A Right Ambition starts where every book on cricket should begin, with a small boy’s wish to wield a bat. It ends, like all good fairy stories, with that small boy having grown up to join an England team which won back the Ashes from Australia and with his joy and delight at having been able to play the game in so many wonderful places and to have made so many lasting friends.

The Rise and Fall of Renaissance France (Text Only)
¥122.33
If one stands by the west wall of the church at Penmarc’h, by the Atlantic coast in south-west Brittany, one sees how this building was intended to be on a grand scale. Founded in 1508, it was to be paid for by the shipbuilders and shipowners of the parish, a testimony to their wealth as well as to their faith. The heads of three of them are depicted on the wall. Penmarc’h was then one of the most important and flourishing ports of France, sending ships south to Portugal and north to Britain, trading in fish and wine. It was natural that carvings of ships, fish, seagulls and sailors should decorate the church walls. But the great tower which was to crown the west wall was never completed. No statues were erected. Penmarc’h’s prosperity rapidly disappeared as the discovery of Newfoundland brought activity to the Normandy coast and as larger ships, some as large as 300 tons, took over the trade. The flat-bottomed boats of Penmarc’h, which were beached on the sand and on the river-beds, could not compete. Penmarc’h fell into obscurity, its only fame being its legends. A sad song tells how at night its people used to set up decoy lights to lure ships on to the rocks. One night they wrecked a ship only to discover that it had on board their own children, who drowned before their eyes.

The Call of Cthulhu
¥8.09
"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

Liquid Cool (The Cyberpunk Detective Series):The Cyberpunk Detective Series
¥0.01
Liquid Cool is the action-packed and funny,?debut cyberpunk detective series!? It’s cyberpunk reimagined—science fiction meets the detective thriller in an ever-rainy world of colossal skyscrapers. Hovercars fly above in the dark, bustling skies and gray people walk below on the grimy, flashy streets of this “neon jungle.” Metropolis isn’t a bad place, but it isn’t a good one either. Uber-governments and megacorporations fight for control of the super-city, but so does crime. We were introduced to Liquid Cool, in the prequel short, These Mean Streets, Darkly. We met an average woman, Carol—hardworking and decent in every way—only to have her daughter kidnapped by the psycho cyborg Red Rabbit. Can Police Central find the girl in time—alive? And is it really another senseless act of random violence in the fifty-million-plus supercity?? This story continues…and there are so many more. For the first time, we meet Cruz, our private eye (and unlikely hero), in a supercity with a million victims and perpetrators. Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.? But watch out for tech-tricksters, analog hustlers, and digital gangsters—psychos, samurais, and cyborgs aplenty—they may want your money, or your life, more than you do. Get Your Copy of LIQUID COOL?Right Now and Prepare to be Thrilled with Mystery, Action, and Laughs!?And don’t get shot by a laser-pistol-packing cyber-punk on your way to the digital store. FIVE STAR REVIEWS “Lots of shooting, lots of crazy maniacs, lots of action and fun!” “I loved this book. It takes place in the future, and what a weird future.” “A funny, intelligent (and sometimes crazy) main character…playing detective” “Cool and Smooth.” “I had a hard time putting this book down to do things like sleeping and eating.” Enjoy!
The Little Prince

Goodbye, said the fox. And now here is my secret, a very simple secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.Antoine de Saint-Exupeacutery, The Little Prince The Little Prince first published in 1943, is a novella and the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupeacutery.The novella is both the most read and most translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects selling over a million copies per year with sales totalling more than 140 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling books ever published.Saint-Exupeacutery, a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and a reserve military pilot at the start of the Second World War, wrote and illustrated the manuscript while exiled in the United States after the Fall of France. He had travelled there on a personal mission to persuade its government to quickly enter the war against Nazi Germany. In the midst of personal upheavals and failing health he produced almost half of the writings he would be remembered for, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form of a young prince fallen to Earth.
