Book Description
Lymstock was a town with more that its share of shameful secrets – a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail caused only a minor stir. But all of that changed when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, committed suicide. Her final note said 'I can't go on'. Only Miss Marple questioned the coroner's verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner? Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 79 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots. "Beyond all doubt the puzzle in 'The Moving Finger' is fit for experts."THE TIMES

Book Description
THE MOVING FINGER WRITES By Bud Simpson REX STEPHENSON is on top of the writing world. He has a well earned reputation as the foremost writer of horror fiction in the United States and, possibly, in the entire world. He has loyal fans, money, fame, a loving wife; CHERYL, and a beautiful summer home in an equally beautiful setting on Millboro Lake in Western Maine. Then, in an instant, he is wrenched away from everything he has worked so hard for. Torn away not by illness or accident or even by a catastrophe of nature, but by one of the people who made him the famed author he is; his self proclaimed greatest fan, CHARLES MORRISON QUEEG. Queeg collects first editions of his favorite authors, but this crazed fan also collects some of the authors themselves. Rex Stephenson is destined to be his latest acquisition the latest "guest" in Queeg's New Hampshire home! Many twists and turns later, Rex discovers one of the reason for his abduction. He has not had book signings for several years, so Queeg has abducted him in order to force him to sign all the books in his Stephenson collection! Further events prove to Rex that Queeg is a truer madman than he thought and a possible psychotic killer. Rex is now sure that he is not the only "guest" Queeg has ever had. Rex fights a psychological war of the minds with Queeg and struggles through horrifying events that test his sanity and perseverance. As he signs an old manuscript for Queeg that he had written as a teenager, he finds that these same events he is living through had happened to the protagonist in that old, forgotten story! Rex determines that he must find a way to escape from the impregnable cell in the basement of Queeg's residence as soon as possible or he is certain he will die there. Armed with only his mind and brilliant imagination, Rex perseveres and with outside help from his agent, DAVE HARTMANN, and his policeman friend, JOHNNY REAGAN, he finally manages an escape from his flaming prison; set ablaze by Queeg to cover his tracks before he disappears. However, this is not the end of Rex's tribulations at the hands of Queeg. Time passes, and when Queeg is nothing but a horrible, distant memory, Queeg bursts back into Rex's life in full fury. During a blinding winter blizzard as Rex is closing up his summer home for the winter, to his horror, he is confronted by Queeg once more; shotgun in hand, determined to extract his final vengeance from Rex Stephenson. Can Rex Stephenson escape from Queeg's wrath once more, or, is this the final chapter in this writer's life story?

Book Description
The Moving Finger is a short story by Edith Wharton. Edith Wharton ( born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 - August 11, 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt. Wharton was born to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander in New York City. She had two brothers, Frederic Rhinelander and Henry Edward. The saying "Keeping up with the Joneses" is said to refer to her father's family. She was also related to the Rensselaer family, the most prestigious of the old patroon families. She had a lifelong friendship with her Rhinelander niece, landscape architect Beatrix Farrand of Reef Point in Bar Harbor, Maine. In 1885, at 23, she married Edward (Teddy) Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years older. From a well-established Philadelphia family, he was a sportsman and gentleman of the same social class and shared her love of travel. From the late 1880s until 1902, he suffered acute depression, and the couple ceased their extensive travel. At that time his depression manifested as a more serious disorder, after which they lived almost exclusively at The Mount, their estate designed by Edith Wharton. In 1908 her husband's mental state was determined to be incurable. She divorced him in 1913. Around the same time, Edith was overcome with the harsh criticisms leveled by the naturalist writers. Later in 1908 she began an affair with Morton Fullerton, a journalist for The Times, in whom she found an intellectual partner. In addition to novels, Wharton wrote at least 85 short stories. She was also a garden designer, interior designer, and taste-maker of her time. She wrote several design books, including her first published work, The Decoration of Houses of 1897, co-authored by Ogden Codman. Another is the generously illustrated Italian Villas and Their Gardens of 1904.

Book Description
The poems attributed to Omar Khayyam have a universal and timeless philosophical theme: life is a meaningful journey even if brief and uncertain. They inspire an unconstrained free-thinking mindset and a wise realization that guides thinking persons: it is impossible to see the absolute truth, as the universe has its own reality that remains largely hidden, and that one must think and act accordingly. This book presents a selection of Khayyam's poems in their original Persian language along with their English translations in a faithful and modern version. By relying only on the original Persian version of Khayyam's poems, and using the author's own body of literary and linguistic knowledge, this book presents a modern translation of Omar Khayyam's poems since Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat in 1859.
