This is the first-person narrative of Severian, a lowly apprentice torturer blessed and cursed with a photographic memory, whose travels lead him through the marvels of far-future Urth, and who--as revealed near the beginning--eventually becomes his land's sole ruler or Autarch. On the surface it's a colorful story with all the classic ingredients: growing up, adventure, sex, betrayal, murder, exile, battle, monsters, and mysteries to be solved.
Calling Jane Austen's "Emma" charming, Harold Bloom states, 'Austen is not writing a tragedy of the will...but a great comedy of the will.' He goes on to say that Austin's heroines have firmly defined selves, each molded with an individuality that suggest the author's potential for creating endless diversity in her enduring works. This new edition offers a selection of contemporary critical commentary on this classic novel, along with a bibliography, a chronology of Austen's life, and an index for quick reference.

A Dictionary of Modern English Usage: The Classic First Edition
No book had more influence on twentieth-century writers of English than Henry Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage. It rapidly became the standard work of reference for the correct use of English in terms of choice of words, grammar, and style. Much loved for his firm opinions, passion, and dry humor, Fowler has stood the test of time and is still considered by many to be the best arbiter of good practice.
