Description

This vintage book contains Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes”. First published in 1879, this book is one of the most personal and lucid of Stevenson’s works. Half guide book, half social commentary, this volume furnishes an interesting and authentic insight into ‘Auld Reekie’: the Edinburgh of times past. The chapters of this book include: “Introductory”, “Old Town – The Lands”, “The Parliament Close”, “Legends”, “Greyfriars”, “New Town – Town and Country”, “The Villa Quarters”, “The Calton Hill”, “Winter and New Year”, and “To The Pentland Hills”. Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850 – 1894) was a famous Scottish essayist, novelist, poet, and travel writer whose most famous works include “Treasure Island” and “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern edition – complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Description

From the best-selling author of How To Write an Autobiographical Novel, Alexander Chee’s award-winning debut is “One of the great queer novels . . . of our time.”—Brandon Taylor, GQ Twelve-year-old Fee is a shy Korean-American boy growing up in Maine whose powerful soprano voice wins him a place as section leader of the first sopranos in his local boys choir. But when, on a retreat, Fee discovers how the director treats the boys he makes section leader, he is so ashamed, he says nothing of the abuse, not even when Peter, Fee’s best friend, is in line to be next. The director is eventually arrested, and Fee tries to forgive himself for his silence. But when Peter takes his own life, Fee blames only himself. Years later, after he has carefully pieced a new life together, Fee takes a job at a private school near his hometown. There he meets a young student, Arden, who, to his shock, is the picture of Peter—and the son of his old choir director. Told with “the force of a dream and the heft of a life” (Annie Dillard), this is a haunting, lyrically written debut novel that marked Chee “as a major talent whose career will bear watching” (Publisher’s Weekly).
