Wrath of Poseidon

Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo come up against an old enemy while searching for a treasure that has been lost for centuries in this exciting adventure in the bestselling series by the Clive Cussler, Grand Master of Adventure. Ten years ago, a chance meeting at the Lighthouse Café in Redondo Beach led Sam Fargo and Remi Longstreet on the adventure of a lifetime, hunting the legendary riches stolen from the Persian King Croesus in 546 B.C.

The Adventures of Cadet Cody


Book Description

A warm, sunny, beautiful Sunday, July 2, 2017, morning departure from our home and loving dog, Cody, and the scenic hills of southwestern Pennsylvania in Somerset County placed us on a collision course with the imminent sixty-second farewell on Reception Day, July 3, 2017, at West Point for our Class of 2021 son—Nate. The Adventures of Cadet Cody story comes to life in the summer weeks of July and August 2017 during the exchange of letters to our soon-to-be Plebe. Heartfelt and separated by time and distance, we revert to the antiquated pastime of writing letters, pen and paper in hand. Our imagination, Cody’s antics, our family experiences, and activities come to life in a cartoon, storylike fashion.







The Rhetoric of Character in Children's Literature


Book Description

Now available in paperback! Until now, there was no theoretical research of character in children's fiction and very few comprehensive theoretical studies of literary characters in general. In her latest intellectual foray, the author of From Mythic to Linear ponders the art of characterization. Through a variety of critical perspectives, she uncovers the essential differences between story ('what we are told') and discourse ('how we are told'), and carefully distinguishes between how these are employed in children's fiction and in general fiction. Yet another masterful work by a leading figure in contemporary criticism.




From Mythic to Linear


Book Description

In this radically new approach to text typology, Maria Nikolajeva examines the depiction of time in literature for children.




The Clive Cussler Adventures


Book Description

The author of more than 50 books--125 million copies in print--Clive Cussler is the current grandmaster of adventure literature. Dirk Pitt, the sea-loving protagonist of 22 of Cussler's novels, remains among the most popular and influential adventure series heroes of the past half-century. This first critical review of Cussler's work features an overview of Pitt and the supporting characters and other heroes, an examination of Cussler's themes and influences, a review of his most important adventures, such as Raise the Titanic! and Iceberg, and a look at adaptations of his work in other media. Cussler joins the pantheon of such as Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ian Fleming, and this overdue volume demonstrates that beneath Cussler's immense popularity lies a literary depth that well merits scholarly attention.
