Book Description
Excerpt from A Country Reader I This Country Reader is not meant for the very young children, but for the elder children of our village schools - children who are supposed to read with ease, and who are expected to know the meaning of ordinary English words. I have striven to use the shortest words and simplest sentences at my command, and to make my meaning as plain as possible. I should like to remind my readers that this little work is a Reader and not a text book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
'A brilliant, unlikely book' Spectator How can we celebrate, challenge and change our remarkable world? In 2012, the world arrived in London for the Olympics...and Ann Morgan went out to meet it. She read her way around all the globe's 196 independent countries (plus one extra), sampling one book from every nation. It wasn't easy. Many languages have next to nothing translated into English; there are tiny, tucked-away places where very little is written down; some governments don't like to let works of art escape their borders. Using Morgan's own quest as a starting point, Reading the World explores the vital questions of our time and how reading across borders might just help us answer them. 'Revelatory... While Morgan's research has a daunting range...there is a simple message- reading is a social activity, and we ought to share books across boundaries' Financial Times

Book Description
Excerpt from A Country Reader, Vol. 1: Book One In preparing this American edition of Mr. Buchanan's Country Readers, I have tried throughout to preserve the simple language of the English author. Naturally, many changes were necessary to make the book suitable for our American schools. Volume I is devoted entirely to farm animals, an arrangement which I think is highly desirable. Volume II will deal with the soil and crops. As Mr. Buchanan states in his preface to the English edition, this book is not intended for very young children, but for the older children of both our rural and city schools; children who are able to read and understand the meaning of ordinary English words. The value of reading - especially of reading aloud - in training the young mind is, I think, recognized by all. It is the aim of these readers to assist in this valuable training by presenting correct information about those things around us which we have found to be especially interesting to the child.

Book Description
Celebrated Ecuadorian author Gabriela Alemán's first work to appear in English: a noir, feminist eco-thriller in which venally corrupt politicians and greedy land speculators finally get their just comeuppance! "In the squalid settlement of Poso Wells, women have been regularly disappearing, but the authorities have shown little interest. When the leading presidential candidate comes to town, he and his entourage are electrocuted in a macabre accident witnessed by a throng of astonished spectators. The sole survivor—next in line for the presidency—inexplicably disappears from sight. Gustavo Varas, a principled journalist, picks up the trail, which leads him into a violent, lawless underworld. Bella Altamirano, a fearless local, is on her own crusade to pierce the settlement's code of silence, ignoring repeated death threats. It turns out that the disappearance of the candidate and those of the women are intimately connected, and not just to a local crime wave, but to a multinational magnate's plan to plunder the country's cloud forest preserve. Praise for Poso Wells: "The story is a condemnation not only of the corrupt businessmen and the criminal gangs that rule Poso Wells but also of the violence against women that plagues Latin America's real slums."—The New Yorker "One part Thomas Pynchon, one part Gabriel García Marquez, and one part Raymond Chandler, Alemán’s novel contains mystery, horror, humor, absurdity, and political commentary … A concoction of political thriller and absurdist literary mystery that never fails to entertain."—Kirkus Reviews "A wild, successful satire of Ecuadorian politics and supernatural encounters. … Alemán’s singular voice keeps the ride fresh and satisfying."—Publishers Weekly "Poso Wells is ironic, audacious, and fierce. But what is it, exactly? A satire? A scifi novel? A political detective yarn? Or the purest reality of contemporary Latin America. It's unclassifiable—as all great books are."—Samanta Schweblin, author of Fever Dream "Poso Wells is brilliant, audacious, doubtlessly playful and at the same time so dark and bitter. A truly unforgettable book."—Alejandro Zambra, author of Multiple Choice
