Smith Online Book Store - English Patient - (DVD) The English Patient is the sweeping World War II romantic epic that's being compared to such legendary films as Casablanca and Doctor Zhivago. After a badly burned pilot is pulled from the wreckage of his plane in the Sahara Desert he's placed in the care of an army nurse and identified only as "the English patient." ... Midshipman Bolitho Richard Bolitho - Midshipman / Midshipman Bolitho and the 'Avenger' Two novels in one volume: the first 'Richard Bolitho - Midshipman' begins in Portsmouth in October 1772 where young Richard Bolitho is waiting to join the 'Gorgon'; the second 'Midshipman Bolitho and the 'Avenger'' finds Bolitho aboard his brother's cutter at Falmouth in the winter of 1773. ... The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time 'The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs Shears' house. It looked as if it was running on its side the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream. But the dog was not running or asleep. The dog was dead. There was a garden fork sticking out of the dog.' The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective and narrator is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down. Christopher is a brilliant creation and Mark Haddon's depiction of his world is deeply moving very funny and utterly convincing. The novel is being published simultaneously for adults by Jonathan Cape and for children by David Fickling publisher of Philip Pullman. We are convinced that both audiences will recognise it as one of those very rare books that change the way you see everything. ...
