Thomas Gage

Thomas Gage is a happy man. He has a fine house in Norfolk, two delightful children, a wife who brought with her a nice income from her father's paint firm, a Waterloo medal (he fought in the battle when he was nineteen), and a painting on show at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Then, a few months after Thomas Gage's fiftieth birthday, Julius Gooby enters his life. Mr. Gooby is a man of the future, manager of the proposed North Norfolk Railway from Norwich to Cromer, and the route of the railway crosses Gage's land. With the railway comes tragedy, and Thomas Gage's life begins to unravel until, at the end, medal on his chest, he travels to London to watch the Duke of Wellington's funeral and to take his revenge. Following the acclaimed "Temple of Optimism", in "Thomas Gage", James Fleming has fashioned another historical fiction of the very first rank, a portrait of a good man undone by grief, by others' greed and, ultimately, by progress.

An epic novel of Russia on the eve of revolution 
 The son of an English father and a Russian mother, Charlie Doig is a big man -- big in stature and big in spirit. A naturalist, he roughs it around the world collecting birds and insects for museums. In 1914 he is on a mission for the Academy of Sciences in Russian Turkestan when war breaks out. His pay is stopped and his companion goes off to enlist. Doig, however, has no intention of volunteering to be killed. He returns to the Pink House, his family's home near Smolensk, and to the woman he loves, his cousin Elizaveta. 
 At first the Pink House remains almost untouched by outside events, and the familiar ways continue as before. But imperial Russia is doomed and with it all the old certainties. Trapped by the snow with Doig and Elizaveta are a motley collection of old aristocrats, their servants and hangers-on -- and two soldiers who have sought refuge with them, one of whom, Doig fears, is a Bolshevik out to destroy them all. 
 Beautifully written, richly imagined, by turns savage and tender, this exhilarating novel confirms James Fleming as one of the very best novelists at work today.

Excerpt from The Art of Reading and Speaking T1113 demand for this book indicates that there is a strong desire for improved reading and speaking. I wish to thank many correspondents, from all parts of the kingdom, and from America, who have taken so warm an interest in the subject on which I have sought to stir public Opinion. Language is the greatest power in the world. It cm power. English is the most powerful tongue in the world to-day. Science, art, commerce, the intellect, the soul - all bask under it. Nowhere else is there such a literature as we possess. Liberty has been born and fostered under it. By-and-by the English tongue will be the world's tongue. It is worth our while, then, to study it. To quicken its study has been my object in this book, and to raise the standard of speaking in the Senate, in the Church, at the Bar, in the School, in the Home.
