Book summary:
"The Call of the Wild" is considered to be one Jack London's greatest novels. During the Yukon Gold Rush of the late 19th century London traveled there to strike it rich. While he didn't find any gold he came away with the experiences that would inspire some of his greatest writing. "The Call of the Wild", one of the greatest examples of this inspiration, is an exciting tale of adventure set in the great frozen north of the Yukon wilderness. [via]

Book summary:
With an Introduction and Notes by Lionel Kelly, University of Reading The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906) are world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, The Call of the Wild is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the decivilisation of Buck as he answers the call of the wild , an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. In contrast, White Fang relates the tale of a wolf born and bred in the wild which is civilised by the master he comes to trust and love. The brutal world of the Klondike miners and their dogs is brilliantly evoked and Jack London s rendering of the sentient life of Buck and White Fang as they confront their destiny is enthralling and convincing. The deeper resonance of these stories derives from the author s use of the myth of the hero who survives by strength and courage, a powerful myth that still appeals to our collective unconscious.

Eragon

Hardcover, Bt Bound

Find This Book

› Find signed collectible books: 'Eragon'
Book summary:
Here's a great big fantasy that you can pull over your head like a comfy old sweater and disappear into for a whole weekend. Christopher Paolini began Eragon when he was just 15, and the book shows the influence of Tolkien, of course, but also Terry Brooks, Anne McCaffrey, and perhaps even Wagner in its traditional quest structure and the generally agreed-upon nature of dwarves, elves, dragons, and heroic warfare with magic swords.
Eragon, a young farm boy, finds a marvelous blue stone in a mystical mountain place. Before he can trade it for food to get his family through the hard winter, it hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon, a race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon, and when his family is killed by the marauding Ra'zac, he discovers that he is the last of the Dragon Riders, fated to play a decisive part in the coming war between the human but hidden Varden, dwarves, elves, the diabolical Shades and their neanderthal Urgalls, all pitted against and allied with each other and the evil King Galbatorix. Eragon and his dragon Saphira set out to find their role, growing in magic power and understanding of the complex political situation as they endure perilous travels and sudden battles, dire wounds, capture and escape.
In spite of the engrossing action, this is not a book for the casual fantasy reader. There are 65 names of people, horses, and dragons to be remembered and lots of pseudo-Celtic places, magic words, and phrases in the Ancient Language as well as the speech of the dwarfs and the Urgalls. But the maps and glossaries help, and by the end, readers will be utterly dedicated and eager for the next book, Eldest. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell [via]

Book summary:
Three-volume boxed set edition lavishly illustrated in full color by Alan Lee

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth still it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.

On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo dissapeared bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.

The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard, the hobbits Merry, Pippin and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

Book summary:
Der Bund ist zerbrochen, Gandalf verloren. Frodo und Sam sind fort, nur Merry und Pippin bleiben mit Boromir zurück. Da werden sie von einem Orkheer überfallen. Boromir verteidigt die Freunde bis zu seinem eigenen Tod, doch die Hobbits werden gefangengenommen. Aragorn, Legolas und Gimli nehmen ihre Spur auf. Merry und Pippin gelingt die Flucht, und sie kommen in einen geheimnisvollen Wald, wo sie Baumbart treffen, einen uralten, baumähnlichen Riesen vom Geschlecht der Ents. Er erkennt die Gefahr, die Mittelerde droht, und sammelt sein Volk, um Saruman anzugreifen. Aragorn, Legolas und Gimli treffen überraschend auf Gandalf, der nicht tot ist, aber verändert. Sie begeben sich an den Hof von Rohan, einem pferdeliebenden Volk, entlarven Schlangenzunge, Sarumans Spion, der König Thoden in seiner Gewalt hatte. Vor Helms Klamm schlagen sie eine unvergessliche Schlacht Gimli und Legolas wetteifern, wer die meisten Orks tötet Gimli gewinnt. Sie erreichen Sarumans Festung Isengard, entdecken, daß sie bereits von den Ents zerstört worden ist, und finden Merry und Pippin, beide unversehrt. Sie befreien Saruman, nachdem sie seinen Zauberstab zerbrochen haben. Zur gleichen Zeit nähern sich Frodo und Sam Mordor. Gollum, angezogen von dem Ring, folgt ihnen. Sie fangen ihn ein und machen ihn zu ihrem Führer. Gollum bringt sie zu den geheimen Stufen, dem Zugang zum Land Mordor. Dieser finstere Ort wird von Kankra bewacht, einer Riesenspinne, die Frodo mit ihrem Stachel vergiftet. Sam beschließt schweren Herzens, den Ring zu nehmen und die Quest alleine zu beenden. Doch da belauscht er ein Gespräch der Orks und erfährt, daß Frodo nicht tot ist, sondern nur bewußtlos. [via]
