Zustand: Fair. A novel of serendipity, of fortunes won and lost, and of the spectre of imprisonment that hangs over all aspects of Victorian society When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in the affairs of Amy's father, William Dorrit, a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in Marshalsea prison. As Arthur soon discovers, the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls to affect the lives of many, from the kindly Mr Panks, the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and the tipsily garrulous Flora Finching, to Merdle, an unscrupulous financier, and the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. A masterly evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, Little Dorrit is one of the supreme works of Dickens's maturity. Stephen Wall's introduction examines Dickens's transformation of childhood memories of his father's incarceration in the Marshalsea debtors' prison. This revised edition includes expanded notes, appendices and suggestion for further reading by Helen Small, a chronology of Dickens's life and works, and original illustrations.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself. Jarndyce and Jardyce is an infamous lawsuit that has been in process for generations. Nobody can remember exactly how the case started but many different individuals have found their fortunes caught up in it. Esther Summerson watches as her friends and neighbors are consumed by their hopes and disappointments with the proceedings. But while the intricate puzzles of the lawsuit are being debated by lawyers, other more dramatic mysteries are unfolding that involve heartbreak, lost children, blackmail, and murder. This highly critical look at the flaws of the British judiciary system contains the illustrations by Phiz that are found in the original editions. Browne, H.K. (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Caring for an aging loved one requires navigating a labyrinth of policies, procedures, prejudices, and dangerous assumptions. Every twist and turn of events assaults the mind and heart with confusion, fear, anger, frustration, and a fatigue which threatens to exhaust one's very soul. She told her daughter, Shoot me first. Don't ever put me in a home. She really didn't mean those words, but nobody questioned how adamant she was about not going into a nursing home. Long term care was definitely not in the plans, but in the end it became her reality. I'll Love Ye Forever is not an expos of nursing homes, rehab centers, or any institutional elder care in America, though it's packed with valuable information about how our health care system works. While the specific details of this story are unique to the Browne family, such overall frustration with elder care is being felt from coast to coast. There are no pat answers in this book, but there are flashes of insight, small victories, and countless examples of courage. This is not a how to book. It is simply a mother and daughter's love story, and what they did to make the best of their journey through long term care. For that reason, the truth and value of the story is best summarized in its very title, I'll Love Ye Forever.…
