Martin’s Scribbles takes the reader on a playful romp through the latter twentieth-century to the present, as seen through the eyes of award-winning architect Martin Holub. Not exactly a memoir, these anecdotes from childhood in Czechoslovakia, to adjusting to life in New York City, to galivanting around the world designing buildings sheds a playful light on the past century. Whether the pronouncements about life of a naive school boy, the observations of a resident alien in the Big Apple, or irreverent musings on politics and culture, we are caught up on this most un-memoir-ish memoir, as only Martin Holub can tell it.
Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, this Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms.
Controversial when it was first published, TESS OF THE D’URBERVILLES now sits in the canon as one of the great nineteenth-century novels. Driven by overwhelming guilt and her family’s poverty, Tess Durbeyfield claims shaky kinship with the wealthy D’Urberville family, hoping to procure a portion of their fortune. She encounters Alec D’Urberville, and is mortified to find herself the victim of her cousin’s relentless pursuit. When the kind and loving farmer Angel Clare enters her life, Tess is torn between a peaceful future with a loving husband and facing the truth of her past.
