The Romantic Struggle

This immensely enjoyable collection of short stories and novels touches the tenderest emotions. At other times it is humorous and controversial but always entertaining. The suspense thriller Tempest of the Aquatania is a Christiesque mystery and a serpentine maze which keeps the reader guessing until the very last sentences. The short story, Miss Ann Thrope—a clever play on the word misanthrope—is amusing and particularly well developed. The Man Who Came From the Sun may challenge even the most progressive thinkers with its presentation of social enigma. Yet, it is the novels, Ian Andersen and the Sarcophagus Heart and The Romantic Struggle, which are unforgettable. We invite all those who love a good story—and one that is masterfully told—to read and enjoy this latest edition of the Hardcastle Classic Library.
