Irving Stone

They called her "liar" and "adulteress"—yet Rachel Robards married Andrew Jackson and led him straight into the White House.

She fell in love but learned too late thar it was not worth it! "Tell Auburn... I... loved him so!" -- These last words from a dying girl still haunted Dr. Noel Frensham; still made him bitter. The voyage back from India had been a memorable one for Frensham. Racked with a terrible sickness, he had come very close to death. Convinced that his hours were numbered, he had persuaded a pretty fellow passenger, Peta Marley, to marry him, hoping to repay her goodness with the money he would leave her after his death. But amazingly he had recovered. It was then that Peta told him of her love for Auburn Lyell. She pleaded with him to annul their marriage and set her free. But Noel had seen death on one young innocent face because of this man, and he was determined to prevent it happening again.

From the acclaimed writer of "The Authority", Warren Ellis, the return of the smash-hit series that managed to shock, move and thought-provoke in one foul swoop! Spider Jerusalem is back in the City, writing again: his subjects this time include the transformation of man into cloud; the grim fate awaiting the 'revivals' brought back from 20th century cryogenic suspension; and the 'reservations', where entire cultures are preserved for eternity. But Spider's past is catching up with him - in the form of a vengeful, frozen ex-wife, a crazed police dog, and the son he never knew he had! Acclaimed writer Warren Ellis ("X-Men") and artist Darick Robertson ("The Boys") invite you back to visit their dysfunctional dystopia!

Mr. Stone gives his signature style and thought to this story of Michelangelo. He points out often in this book that Michelangelo, before beginning a work, asks what it is he is trying to capture in the moment of his painting, sculpture, or poem. So it is with Mr. Stone. He wants to portray, as close as he can find, the moments of the life of this artist. What shaped him, what he loved, what (and whom) he hated. At the moments Stone writes of. A great book, and one I hope to read again.

Covers "California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado."

Life of Eugene V. Debs, champion of the working man, and his wife who staunchly opposed him in his work.

Based on the life of Jessie Benton Fremont.
