The Outlaw

Max Brand

Young Larry Lynmouth had been the most fabulous outlaw of them all. Now he was determined to go straight. But going straight wasnt that easy-not with ugly leeches like Jay Cress around, who couldnt believe any man was fool enough to be honest. Renowned Western writer Max Brand does it again in the eminently enjoyable novel The Outlaw. Packed with enough action, twists and turns to please even the most die-hard fans of the genre, the novel also addresses a wide range of important themes with insight and sensitivity. This classics appeal extends far beyond the core audience for Westerns give it to a yet-to-be-won-over friend or loved one, and soon theyll be clamoring for more.

Daniel Deronda

Crushed by a loveless marriage to the cruel and arrogant Grandcourt, Gwendolen Harleth seeks salvation in the deeply spiritual and altruistic Daniel Deronda.

George Eliots radical dual narrative constantly challenges all solutions and ensures that the novel is as controversial now, as when it first appeared.
