An old, dreamlike passivity in him that he no longer finds it necessary to resist will dissolve the boundary between what is solid and tangible in the world around him – mulberry leaves afloat on their shadows, the knobbly extrusions on the trunk of a pine – and the weightless medium in which his consciousness is adrift, where the gods, in their bodily presence, have the same consistency as his thoughts. Often, in the lapse of light in the chamber where he sits nodding, or in a leisure hour beside the fishpond in his garden, one or other of the gods will materialise, jelly-like, out of the radiant vacancy. It’s a shame that in the modern times we can see nothing but dreams. ![]() In the ancient times, when gods were many, they were easy to reach – should one just doze off and some numinous being wouldn’t take long to appear. The ancient times… They still agitate us and we are ready to return to antiquity again and again. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years," Lee was quoted as saying. That scene seemed at odds with Tuesday's announcement by an arm of HarperCollins Publishers that included an eloquent statement attributed to Lee, 88, who spends her days in an assisted living center not far from where she grew up in this south Alabama town, the inspiration for "Mockingbird." The publisher said Tonja Carter, an attorney who practiced with Alice Lee, found an unpublished manuscript titled "Go Set a Watchman," and that it will be released in July as a sequel to the beloved novel. Both spoke on condition that they not be identified - one for fear of upsetting those handling the author's affairs, the other not wanting to upset the family. ![]() ![]() Lee mumbled in a manner that shocked some in attendance, said one of the friends.

Vickers' real skill as a story teller is in allowing each distinct voice to contribute to a complete, or as complete as can be, picture of one family. ‘Vickers has a formidable knack for laying open the human heart’ Sunday Times ‘Underneath the delightful patina of nostalgia for post-War England, there are stern and spiky questions about why we are allowing our children to be robbed of their heritage of story.’ Frank Cottrell Boyce ![]() The Librarian is a moving testament to the joy of reading and the power of books to change and inspire us all. ![]() But her love affair with the local married GP, and her befriending of his precious daughter, her neighbour’s son and her landlady’s neglected grandchild, ignite the prejudices of the town, threatening her job and the very existence of the library with dramatic consequences for them all.
