Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. While it is beyond doubt that Jerome K. Jerome is most well known for his comic masterpiece Three Men in a Boat, the range of his other literary achievements is staggering. Journalist, playwright and author, a wealth of his writing has remained just beyond the public gaze. Diary of a Pilgrimage is one such work. The pilgrimage of the title is a journey to see the famous Passion Play at Oberammergau, which has been performed every ten years since 1634, the middle of the Thirty Years War.Diary is a typically witty account of this journey, part travelogue and part social commentary. It is also a work which has long deserved its place in the sun, outside of the benevolent shade of Jeromes more famous writing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First published in 1844, Coningsby is regarded as one of Benjamin Disraeli's greatest works of fiction, and an unparalleled study of man, his manners and principles. It tells the tale of an orphan, given great opportunity through the benefices of his grandfather, only to have his fortune snatched away from him for falling in love with the wrong person. The young protagonist is forced to prove his character against difficult odds if he is to recover his fortune and his place in the world. Played out against the background of the real political events that followed the Reform Act of 1832, this novel is a fascinating insight into the tenor of these times, as well as a strong reflection of the author's own personal political ideology. Coningsby continues to have an enduring appeal for readers, not only as a perceptive portrait of aristocratic and political life during the early nineteenth century, but also as a traditional romance that showcases the literary abilities of one of Britain's greatest statesmen.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An epistolary novel, first published in 1778, "Evelina" tells the story of a young girl who is abandoned by her aristocratic father, who refuses to acknowledge his child's legitimacy. Left to enter the unfamiliar world of London society alone, and naively unprepared for the dangers it hides, the beautiful Evelina is dazzled by her new surroundings, and quickly becomes captivated by the handsome, gallant Lord Orville. But the experience soon turns bitter, when, exposed to the realities of fashionable society, she discovers that her beauty also attracts the unwanted attentions of the dissolute Sir Clement Willoughby. This romantic tale about a heroine who must raise herself to social prominence through the essential quality of her nature struck a chord with the reading public of the time, and "Evelina" became a publishing sensation. Today it is a novel which continues to attract new audiences with its simple tale of character and personal strength. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
