John Connolly great fiction book author

John Connolly is a well renowned mystery fiction writer from Ireland. His most intriguing character to date is called The Collector.

The most interesting aspect of Connoly's mystery literature is that he does not use the traditional style that most mystery books are accustomed. He goes beyond mystery fiction conventions. His novels aren't completely solved by the reason and intelligence of a detective such as Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes.

Rather, characters are brought to the depths of evil and malice through the experiences of a former police detective, whose name is Charlie Parker. The Collector encounters Parker on a number of occasions brining him to situations of horror and evil. Connolly's mystery fiction novels include 'The Whisperers' and 'The Killing Kind.'

One of the popular new fiction books is Dekker's 'Adam' which is purely a story centering on a special agent in the FBI. He is saddled with catching a budding serial killer who has already murdered 15 women, ridiculously one on each new moon. With a new moon on the horizon, the time is drawing night to catch the killer before he strikes again. The agent almost catches the killer, but it nearly costs him his precious life. His remembrance of the killer fails him for those brief moments when he was presumably dead. Now, his wife is brutally going to be the next victim of Eve, until and unless he can hold the murderer in his custody. Anyone can ask, how he can do this? Well, by dying over again and again to put the pieces together and remember the killer in order to catch him. All in all Ted Dekker is mysteriously one of the best suspense best new fiction books author out there right now.x

The Enchantress of Florence- A Wild and Whirling Novel

Filed in archive Literature on June 19, 2010

Salman Rushdie with his choice of subjects from Kashmir to Andalusia is generally identified as a negotiator of East and West through his classic fiction books. However, "The Enchantress of Florence" is a shift from his traditional collection of top fiction books which is vivid, gripping, irreverent, bawdy, profoundly moving, and completely absorbing. The novel revolves around the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man's world. This fascinating novel is replete with gorgeous young women both historical and imagined, beautiful queens and irresistible enchantresses, along with some whores and a few quarrelsome old wives - all stock figures, females perceived solely in relation to the male counterparts. The novel brilliantly connects the two cities together- the hedonistic Mughal capital and the sensual city of Florence during the High Renaissance. The book brilliantly depicts the process of disillusionment both of the Mughal emperor Akbar and Niccoln Machiavelli as they learn about the true brutality of power. The novel is also a discovery of the East by the West such that each culture becomes a dream of the other. Like all of Rushdie's books, the playfulness, the passion, the erudition and the sensuousness go hand in hand in this novel.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Filed in archive Literature on June 18, 2010

The Irish novelist James Joyce's novels are an intricate comment on the artistic twist associated with the term "aestheticism". Joyce's aesthetic notion that may well be paralleled with the dictum, "art for art's sake" is well developed in his novel "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" regarded as one of the greatest fiction books. The novel traces the evolution of the artist- Stephen Dedalus , as a young boy to that of an artist - with all his aspirations, longings, frustrations with the daily course of life and its monotony but finally seizes over all barriers of mediocrity. The book reviews the spiritual abyss in which Stephen plunges into which are depicted as some sinful activities in which he takes part which are followed by his repentance such that he leads an austere lifestyle--totally at odds with an emerging love of sensuous beauty. However, the incident of a young girl wading into the sea appears as an ethereal vision which completely transforms his perspective and develops his aesthetic theory which asserts "…. art as stasis and separates beauty from good or evil…"

Lord of the Flies: A Moral Fable

Filed in archive Literature on June 18, 2010

© jonathan229

William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" listed among the top 100 fiction books is the study of Evil in the contemporary society, which is generalized by the interweaving of an adventurous tale with the fabulous structure of the novel. Eventually this seemingly adventure book touches upon the Conradian theme of the darkness of the human heart. Golding uses the behavior of a group of young British school boys, Jack, Roger, Ralph and others to show how each succumbs to the evil within. According to the book reviews, the rendering of "a human interest" to the fiction lends a moralistic attribute and fabulous to the novel. The "Lord of the Flies" is concerned with the primal loss of innocence which is well depicted through the transformation which Jack- the symbol of Goodness- undergoes during the course of events. His failure to satisfy his hunger for power (by becoming chief of the boys) causes him to lose decency and indulge in the immoral act of killing. The binary confrontation between Good and Evil is presented in the novel and also illuminates the human condition in the world of today.
