‘I have so enjoyed your books and love reading those which are set in South Africa. You know South Africa very well and have got right under its skin.’ J E S Hart Moti’s a big wheel in Port Elizabeth and that’s not just because the suits who run City Hall hang on his every word. But Moti’s got a problem. His not-so-favourite son-in-law has gone AWOL. And that matters because his daughter is distraught, or so he tells rich but mentally troubled PI Sol Nemo. Sol takes the case but soon faces complications because of Anton’s missing wife and pregnant girlfriend. Soon too, the outline of a major conspiracy starts to unfold involving various parties including an unsettling interest from State Security. Sol comes to realise it’s dangerous to pursue enquiries when his every move is being watched. By then though, Sol’s motivation has become personal. You see there’s an obligation to a young woman who’s literally been scared to death and one also to some of the Eastern Cape’s most disadvantaged citizens who are being ruthlessly exploited. All in all, it’s a confusing picture and that’s to say nothing of the absent Anton who remains out of sight until suddenly he needs Sol’s help. It’s only then the truth emerges, but is it the truth and nothing but, or is it some version of it designed to beguile and deceive?

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

This is Volume 10 of a collection of ten of the selected works of I. A. This volume presents a selection of contemporary criticism discussing those of Richards’ works published between 1919 and 1938.

This is Volume Nine of Ten on the writings of I. A. Richards. This edition presents a collection of his shorter writings in books and articles from 1919 to 1938.

Part of the Selected Works by I. A. Richards 1919-1938, Volume 8 out of ten, focuses on the interpretation in teaching from 1938. The earliest work towards Interpretation in Teaching dates from 1928. With Practical Criticism substantially completed Richards was planning revisions to his courses and new directions to his writing, which was increasingly moving away from the subject of poetry.

This is Volume 2 of ten the selected works of I. A. Richards from 1919 to 1938. This book is a study of the difficulties and the influence of language upon thought and the study of that influence, a new avenue of approach to traditional problems hitherto regarded as reserved for the philosopher and the metaphysician, has been found.

In the sixth volume of his Selected Works, I. A. Richards focuses on the writings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

First published in 1843 and reissued here in its expanded second edition of 1845, this biography represents an early and informed portrait of the prolific landscape artist and draughtsman John Constable (1776–1837). An upbringing in the East Anglian countryside and his first sighting of a painting by Claude Lorrain inspired his lifelong dedication to capturing scenes from nature, reflected in early works such as Dedham Vale (1802) and in his mature masterpieces, notably The Hay Wain (1821). Prepared by Charles Robert Leslie (1794–1859), a close friend and fellow member of the Royal Academy, this work is based principally on his collection of Constable's letters and papers, drawing also on friends' accounts of the artist. Illuminating his relationship with Maria Bicknell and the influence of early mentor Sir George Beaumont, the book details the development of Constable's career, revealing the nature of his opinions and anxieties.
