Book Description
How did a journey to the tourist sites of Greece look like back in the 1800s? That is the question answered in Rambles and Studies in Greece by John Pentland Mahaffy. In 1876, the author was hired to accompany a Cambridge undergraduate, William Goulding, around Greece, and his account of those travels was published the same year. In the book, Mahaffy describes the world of ancient beauty, with eye-opening details on the dangers and unpleasant sites of the travel to a foreign country without the proper preparation.

Book Description
From the author of the international best seller An Instance of the Fingerpost, Arcadia is an astonishing work of imagination. In Cold War England, Professor Henry Lytten, having renounced a career in espionage, is writing a fantasy novel that dares to imagine a world less fraught than his own. He finds an unlikely confidante in Rosie, an inquisitive young neighbor who, while chasing after Lytten's cat one day, stumbles through a doorway in his cellar and into a stunning and unfamiliar bucolic landscape—remarkably like the fantasy world Lytten is writing about. There she meets a young boy named Jay who is about to embark on a journey that will change both their lives. Elsewhere, in a distopian society where progress is controlled by a corrupt ruling elite, the brilliant scientist Angela Meerson has discovered the potential of a powerful new machine. When the authorities come knocking, she will make an important decision—one that will reverberate through all these different lives and worlds.
