The Kingdom

[This is the Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.] [Read by Frederick Davidson] The Kingdom is the story of a country -- a country of astonishing contrasts, where routine computer printouts open with the words ''In the name of God,'' where men who grew up in goat-hair tents now dominate the money markets of the world, and where murderers and adulterers are publicly executed in the street. By its own reckoning, this country is just entering the fifteenth century.  The Kingdom is also the story of a family -- a family that has fought its way from poverty and obscurity into wealth and power the likes of which the world has never known, a family characterized by fierce loyalty among its members, ruthlessness toward its enemies, and dedication to one of the world's most severe and demanding creeds.  The Kingdom is Saudi Arabia -- the only country in the world to bear the name of the family that rules it.

A skillful translation of the classical French tragedy about the captivity of Hector's wife after her abduction by the son of Achilles. The rhymed couplets retain the simplicity of form and powerful language of the original. "[This translation] is a striking tour de force" (Hudson Review). Drawings by Igor Tulipanov.

<p>Maurice Allington is a worldly but haunted publican. His pub is inhabited by the spirit of Dr. Thomas Underhill, the seventeenth-century scholar rumored to have killed his wife. The local sexton had refused to dig Underhill's grave. The rector had declined to officiate at his funeral. And there are skeletons in the cupboard of Allington's own domestic affairs -- just rattling to get out...</p>

The Green Man

AMIS, Kingsley

Harcourt, Brace & World [Published date: 1961]. Hard cover, 501 pp. [From front jacket flap] This is an important and revealing book about America's newest state, a Hawaii that fun-loving tourists have never seen.Hawaii Pono "Hawaii the excellent" will remain the definitive book on the fiftieth state for many years to come.Here is the vivid story about the varied races that came to Hawaii to form a new culture- the native Hawaiians who tried to recapture the past; the haoles, the white men who brought religion and education and oligarchy to the Islands; the Chinese and their search for economic independence; the Japanese and their struggle for acceptance; and the Filipinos, the last of the major ethnic groups. Here is the story also of the colorful native empire that fell to the Americans, the entrepreneurs who built prosperous plantations worked by men and women who were nearly slaves; the stern missionaries whose children believed in a kingdom on earth more than a kingdom in heaven, and who maneuvered to possess it; the dedicated teachers, whose patron saint was John Dewey, bringing knowledge and therefore hope to the children of Hawaii. Lawrence Fuchs's dramatic narrative of an adventure in democracy is rich with names and dates and facts, many of them reported for the first time.
