Roy Lewis Boeken

Here is a typical Stone Age family, reimagined by Roy Lewis in this hilarious novel as characters in some glittering drawing-room comedy. Father, who has a scientific turn of mind, has just discovered fire. Mother makes sure the children finish supper, even when the plat du jour is toad. Uncle Vanya thinks that the species has been flirting with disaster ever since it began to chip flint into tools. While little Alexander has gotten himself in deep trouble by making the first cave artists are always so misunderstood.Long out of print, The Evolution Man  would make Charles Darwin turn over in his grave. Lewis has written a witty, intelligent satire of the lives of our remote ancestors, complete with highly revisionist accounts of everything from the origins of courtship to the staples of Pleistocene cuisine. It's the funniest thing to happen to prehistory since Raquel Welch donned a fur bikini in One Million B.C.

Set against the backdrop of a South Wales coal mine, a woman arrives from the north-east to search for her missing husband. Her quest leads her to an enquiry agent, but the discovery of her body raises questions in the local community. The investigation quickly unfolds as the local police connect the dots, especially after the husband admits to the crime. This gripping tale explores themes of loss, desperation, and the consequences of hidden truths.

Romanzo storico. La regina Vittoria non regnò per più di mezzo secolo, dovette abdicare nel 1848 davanti alla rivolta dei cartisti, i socialisti inglesi. Si stabili' un regime socialista mite e bucolico, interessato soprattutto a garantire il lavoro a tutti e mantenere l'uguaglianza.
