<p>Sharp-talking, existentially troubled Dodger leads a frenzied life as PA and dogsbody to one of London’s top crime bosses. He dreams of a better, saner existence, but fate has other plans for him. Sent to hire the services of notorious contract killer Bill Kane, little does he suspect that he is about to embark on a wild odyssey through the heart of Rio’s favelas and the sizzling backlands of northeastern Brazil. His orders are simple: to help Kane hunt down and kill Captain America, the organisation’s double-crossing second-in-command. But where Kane is involved, nothing remains simple for long. The instant they set foot in Rio, the unlikely duo are catapulted into a series of confrontations as bizarre as they are frightening, as comical as they are wired. Kane, who believes he is possessed by the soul of an Oglala Sioux shaman, has declared war on modern society and its evils, with cataclysmic results. But even as the mission spirals out of control, Dodger finds himself little by little beginning to share in Kane’s unusual views on life, death and what it means to be human. Part gangster thriller in the Get Carter mould, part wild road-trip romp à la Fear and Loathing, this is a thousand-volt, turbo-paced tale that reads like an acid-fuelled rollercoaster ride through a war zone. The story takes you by the scruff of the neck, hurtles you halfway across the world, flips you upside-down, then drops you off at the end, breathless and reeling. And all told in the juiciest slang-and-expletive-filled mutation the English language has spawned in years.</p>

Excerpt from Corrigenda and Explanations of the Text of ShakspereNot having read the works of Shakspere for more than the third of a century, it has happened to me within the last few years to meet with passages, as quotations, etc., which appeared evidently to contain errors; but on referring to the Works themselves I was surprised to find the extracts correctly made.Being in possession of leisure, I thought that I might usefully employ some of it in giving a careful reading to these Plays, with the object of detecting errors and seeing how they might be amended, and the result is what I now lay before the reader.It is clear that many of these mistakes have arisen from the type being set up from undecypherable manuscript, and that there has been, in places, much guess-work in making out the copy. This is especially evident in such plays as Cymbeline and Measure for Measure, Very many wrong words arising from these causes have been corrected by the various editors; that many have not been noticed will appear from a perusal of the following pages; and that some are still left I can vouch, as I have tried at various undoubted faulty passages, but have been unable to suggest satisfactory corrections, and these I must leave to those better acquainted with Elizabethan literature than I am.That these mistakes should have occurred was in the nature of things. Considering the extreme juvenescence of the art of printing, when probably reader, compositor, and pressman were all one person, the probable inexperience of the editors, the absence of supervision of the author, it would have been surprising if there had not been a very large number of oversights; for even now, after all the improvements in the art of printing, in works having the great advantage of the supervision of their authors, very vexatious mistakes are not of uncommon occurrence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
