The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The Rime Of The
Ancient Mariner
£5.99
This title comes with an introduction by Marina Warner & illustrations by Mervyn Peake. Coleridge`s celebrated poem was written at the suggestion of William Wordsworth in the early days of their friendship, & published for the first time in 1798. It is the story of a nightmare voyage to the South Pole told by the sole survivor, the bright-eyed ancient mariner whose wanton killing of an albatross, a bird of good omen, brought misfortune on the ship & all its crew. The poem is brilliantly illustrated by Mervyn Peake. His powerful, arresting images perfectly express the qualities of the text, its gothic atmosphere & supernatural terrors, ultimately softened by pity & the hope of redemption. ...

The Ring: & The Opposite of Death
The Ring: & The
Opposite Of Death
£7.99
In Italy`s impoverished south, choices are limited. Rules & traditions are more powerful than the lives of individuals, & young Italians who stand on the right side of the law still find themselves on the frontline. In ` The Opposite of Death`, Maria is a seventeen-year-old widow before she has even made it to the altar; her fiance enlisted & died in Afghanistan to avoid a life controlled by the mafia. In ` The Ring`, a tale of bloody vengeance, a young woman comes to visit from the north, bringing with her ignorance & prejudice. Two women at separate poles of experience. Roberto Saviano has become a symbol of a whole generation of lost young Italians; these stories demonstrate once more the commitment to truth & justice that made Gomorrah such an exceptionally brave book. ...
