glers, circus performers, folklore ensembles, and others participate in the programme. Besides the street performances, there are puppet shows and New Year carriage and sleigh rides for the children.

The Call Of The Wild And Other Stories

Jack London 1538 rsd

In The Call of the Wild, Buck, a domesticated dog, is stolen from his home in California and sold into sledge dog slavery during the 1890s Klondike gold rush in Alaska. Forced to shed the comforts of civilization, he reverts to more primitive instincts and emerges as the leader of the pack. White Fang, published before The Call of the Wild, is a companion novel about a wild wolf dog who is adopted by a human and eventually domesticated. Also included are The Sea-Wolf and many short stories centred on Alaska and the Far North. Jack London’s classic tales — often told from the animal’s viewpoint — have been popular for decades and add a bit of gold to any reader’s Word Cloud Classics collection.

Lady Joker

Kaoru Takamura 2186 rsd

Tokyo, 1995. Five men meet at the racetrack every Sunday to bet on horses. They have little in common except a deep disaffection with their lives, but together they represent the social struggles and griefs of post-War Japan: a poorly socialized genius stuck working as a welder; a demoted detective with a chip on his shoulder; a Zainichi Korean banker sick of being ostracized for his ethnicity; a struggling single dad of a teenage girl with Down’s syndrome. The fifth man bringing them all together is an elderly drugstore owner grieving his grandson, who has died in suspicious circumstances.

The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald 890 rsd

The quintessential portrait of Jazz Age America, it reflects the era’s postwar exuberance as well as the corruption and immorality lurking behind the glamour of wild parties, dancing, and illegal drinking. Narrator Nick Carraway -- a transplant from the Midwest like Fitzgerald himself - observes the wasteful lives of his well-to-do neighbours in this tale of money, love, and the pursuit of the American dream. The unforgettable cast is headed by Jay Gatsby, a self-made man whose determination to realize his fantasies embodies both the glories of imagination and the grimness of reality.

Confessions Of Felix Krull

Thomas Mann 1295 rsd

Discover Thomas Mann’s comic novel of deception and misplaced confidence - back in print for the first time in over twenty years. Waiter by day, a man about Paris by night; the young and good-looking Felix Krull has created for himself a personality to charm and deceive the world of wealth. When the Marquis de Venosta makes him a proposal that he can’t refuse, the young Felix finds himself on the pathway that will elevate him into the world of riches.

Midsummer Mysteries

Agatha Christie 1943 rsd

From Cornwall to the French Riviera, whether against a background of Delphic temples or English country houses, Agatha Christie’s most famous characters solve even the most devilish of conundrums as the summer sun beats down. Pull up a deckchair and enjoy plot twists and red herrings galore from the bestselling fiction writer of all time.

Despair

Vladimir Nabokov 1295 rsd

Self-satisfied, delighting in the many fascinating quirks of his own personality, Hermann Hermann is perhaps not to be taken too seriously. But then a chance meeting with Felix, a man he believes to be his double, reveals a frightening ‘split’ in Hermann’s nature. Convinced that he has found his doppelgänger, Hermann uses this discovery to weave a money-making plan that leads to disguise, betrayal and eventually murder. Filled with impudent, startling humour, and dominated by the egotistical and scornful figure of a killer who thinks himself an artist, Despair takes us into a deranged world of doubles and illusions, where nothing is quite as it seems.
