The Underdogs

The Underdogs is Mariano Azuela's sweeping novel of war, romance,and the spirit of Mexico. Demetrio Macias is a peasant whose hard but simple life is overtaken by the Mexican Revolution. Joining the rebels in their struggle to overthrow the corrupt Porfirio Diaz, he finds he has a gift for tactics and soon rises to the rank of general. Surviving battle after battle, his revolutionary zeal is ultimately tested to the limit not by warfare, but by the divisiveness within the rebel movement. Written with passion and authenticity by Azuela, who himself participated in the Mexican Revolution, The Underdogs has become one of Mexico's best-loved novels.

Paradise Lost is a tale of good and evil on the grandest scale - the struggle between God and the Devil for the soul of humankind. Beginning with Satan's fall from heaven, the poem then follows Adam and Eve's temptation and ultimate expulsion from the Garden of Eden. John Milton wrote Paradise Lost to "justify the ways of God to men", particularly the concept of free will. To many, it is most notable for its lively anti-hero, Satan, who despite Milton's piety comes off as an almost romantic character. One of the most famous poems in the English language, Paradise Lost is a must-read for all those who are interested in our literary heritage, as well as lovers of good poetry.

<p>Tarzan the Terrible, first published in 1921, is considered by devotees one of the best of Burroughs' tales of the ape-man. Set during the First World War, the eighth adventure begins with Tarzan frantically looking for his wife Jane, who has been taken captive by German soldiers. His search brings him to the strangest land he has yet encountered, where dinosaurs of bygone ages coexist with strange human-like tribes. Finding that he is now a captive as well, Tarzan must find a way to survive and be reunited with the woman he loves. The usual mix of thrills and high adventure for which Burroughs' writing is known, are present in satisfying and liberal quantities. First brought to life by Burroughs in 1912, the enduring popularity of Tarzan in radio, television and film gives all the more reason to have a look at the original tales.</p>

Some people like to distance themselves from the animal world - not so Clarence Day Jr. In this witty collection, Day muses on our similarities with our ape cousins and how our simian blood affects the way we live our lives. He ponders what a world with other animals in charge would be like. Day was a noted humorist and author of the famous memoir Life with Father, which was made into one of the longest-running Broadway plays ever. Written in 1920, Simian World is a timeless and entertaining look at the essence of our humanity, for anyone who has ever thought we might be more animal than not.
