Woman of the Earth (9781543185812)



No wonder the Scotch countryside was interested in the schoolmaster's pretty, new assistant. Twenty years before, her mother had left the place under a cloud. Is it true, the old saying, "Like father, like son"? Then must it also be true, they asked, Like mother, like daughter? Originally published as a complete novella in Cosmopolitan magazine (November 1933), WOMAN OF THE EARTH is A. J. Cronin's poignant story of Davie, a lame-footed schoolmaster; Jess, his vibrant young assistant, whose unwed mother fled in disgrace from their very town a generation earlier; farmer Rob, his hale and hearty brother; and Ailie, Rob's wife and a "woman of the earth."

Ugly Americans (9780099455059)

The true story of the Ivy League hedge fund cowboys who gambled with the dangerously high stakes of the Asian stock market. John Malcolm, high school football hero and Princeton graduate made his millions back in the early '90s, a time when dozens of elite young American graduates made their fortunes in hedge funds in the Far East, beating the Japanese at their own game, riding the crashing waves of the Asian stock markets, gambling at impossibly high stakes and winning. Failure meant not only bankruptcy and disgrace a la Nick Leeson, but potentially even death - at the hands of the Japanese Yakuza: one of the world's most notoriously violent organised crime syndicates. Ugly Americans tells Malcolm's story, and that of others like him, in a high octane book, filled with glamour, money and the dangers these incur, this true story is a cross between Mezrich's own best-selling Bringing Down the House and Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker. ...
