Synopsis

Franz Kafka: The Complete Novels is an extraordinary collection of literary masterpieces that have captivated readers for generations. Franz Kafka, a master of existential dread and surreal storytelling, invites you into a world where the mundane twists into the nightmarish, and the boundaries of reality blur.

In The Trial, Josef K. finds himself inexplicably arrested and plunged into a labyrinthine legal system where guilt is assumed, and justice is elusive. As K. navigates his increasingly surreal circumstances, Kafka exposes the alienation and futility inherent in bureaucratic systems.

The Castle presents a land surveyor, K., who arrives in a village governed by an enigmatic castle. Despite his attempts to gain access and assert his purpose, he encounters opaque hierarchies and endless frustrations. This haunting tale explores themes of authority, belonging, and the human desire for meaning in an indifferent world.

In America (also titled The Man Who Disappeared), a young immigrant, Karl Rossmann, faces an unrelenting and bizarre version of the American Dream. With its disjointed episodes, the novel paints a grimly ironic portrait of freedom, opportunity, and displacement.

This collection is not just a journey into Kafka's brilliant mind but also a mirror to the absurdities and complexities of modern existence. A must-read for lovers of thought-provoking literature.

    A gritty, explosive gangland thriller from TOP 20 BESTSELLER Owen Mullen 
    Family first. Family last. The Glass family always... 
    Charley Glass arrived in her family’s lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up. 
    After years of hoping, Charley finally has the family she’s always wanted, but now she’s going to have to tell them the real reason she came looking for them. There is only one way she’s going to stay alive, and that is to employ the muscle of the notorious Glass Family. 
    The head of the family, Luke, isn't sure they're strong enough to take on one of New Orleans' biggest crime gangs. But he'd put his life on the line to protect the empire they've built - even if they’ll have to take on an enemy hurting enough to cross an ocean for revenge. 
    Page-turning, gritty, and utterly compelling. Perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller.

    Rumors said that the gang Ieaders of a dozen large cities had been bludgeoned into joining the Army of Death – controlled by a men calling himself the General. 
    He stumbled forward, and a last burst escaped from the machine-gun. One shot nicked Johnny Kerrigan along the ribs, another caught him in the thigh. Then the rest of the hail swept down lower and riddled Russ Kimber, where he cowered on the floor. 
    Johnny Kerrigan was sent staggering sideways against the wall. He steadied his revolver against his elbow, and emptied it into the doorway, where a second man had appeared. This one dropped, and a third stepped into his place, also with a machine-gun. He raised it. 
    Johnny Kerrigan’s gun was empty. He could not retreat, because of his injured leg. He could not charge, either. He shrugged. 
    “Okay, mug,” he said. “I can take it!”
