In 1550 Rochester was the only Medway town. It dominated the river estuary & an agricultural hinterland in which Strood, Chatham & Gillingham were nearby villages, reliant on fishing & farming for their livelihood. By the beginning of the twentieth century these four towns had become an urban conurbation. The key factor in this dramatic change was the growth of the Royal Naval Dockyards at CA--A--hatham, home to the English fleet from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century & subsequently the foremost shipbuilding & repair docks in Engl&. The yards at Chatham soon became the largest industrial complex in the south of Engl&. Over the course of the next 350 years, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham & Strood grew. They merged physically but developed distinct characteristics. Chatham became the dockyard town whilst Rochester retained a more genteel air. Gillingham gained a military presence & covered agricultural land with terraced housing. Strood, on the opposite bank of the river, abandoned fishing & farming for brick & cement manufacture & engineering. This book explores the impact of these changes on the people who lived & worked in the Medway Towns, the transformation of the political & economic scene & of the built environment. ...

Winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize The Melancholy of Resistance, Laszlo Krasznahorkai`s magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumours. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, & the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find
- music, cosmology, fascism. The novel`s characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town; her weakling husband; & Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender centre of the book, the only pure & noble soul to be found. Compact, powerful & intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, `is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type.` & yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of Guardian, `lifts the reader along in lunar leaps & bounds.`
