Excerpt from Science Progress, Vol. 2 The most important class of chemical substances with which the physiologist has to deal is that of the proteids. Their importance arises from the fact that they form the most essential of the constituents of a diet, and the most constant and abundant of the materials obtainable from protoplasm and living structures generally.

Excerpt from English Fashionables Abroad, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Those pines of the Villa Pamfili were almost the first objects that had risen to Emily's view on entering Rome, and they were the last that bounded her horizon as she quitted it, but her prospects in life had been widely changed since she had first beheld them, and, as this thought occurred to her, she blamed herself for the consciousness of regret with which it rose to her mind. ...

Excerpt from High Life, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel I'd mourn the hopes that leave me, If thy smiles had left me too, I'd weep when friends deceive me, If thou wert like them untrue, But while I've thee before me, With heart so warm, and eyes so bright, No clouds can linger o'er me, That smile turns them all to light, 'Tis not in fate to harm me, While fate still leaves my love to me, 'Tis not in joy to charm me, Unless that joy be shard ...

Detective dal nome impronunciabile, Sonchai Jitpleecheep della Polizia Reale Thailandese è quanto di più distante dal tipico investigatore di giallo seriale: è giovane, è figlio di una ex tenutaria di bordello e marito di Chanya, una ex prostituta che studia sociologia, è buddhista, è cinico, o meglio è abituato al cinismo assoluto del suo capo, il colonnello Vikorn. Vikorn, deciso a diventare sindaco di Bangkok, ha bisogno di pubblicità inter...
