Excerpt from The Question of Cain, Vol. 2 of 3 His own estimate, was his getting possession of the Old house and small park on which he had conferred the name of Horndean. The place had been known by another name for more than two centuries, and had many recollections and traditions connected with it, some of them worthy and lofty, others evil and mean, but there had come an end to the Old line and the old history. The last of the historic family to which the place had belonged had revived its evil and mean traditions in his own person during a. Long and worthless life that came to its fitting close in exile and contempt. No son of his succeeding to an inheritance which was simply one of debt and dis honour, the place was sold. Mr. Horndean bought it, and all who knew him at the time, and the neighbourhood who did not know him, supposed that now another of the fine old English country places would be turned into building-ground, and a vul.

Excerpt from The Question of Cain, Vol. 1 of 3 Rhodes, the English chaplain, whom every one knew and everyone liked, and whom no division divided from the most or the least important of those among whom his ministry lay - this was an event to create a wide-spread sensation indeed. A sensation which seemed to suspend every other for the moment, and to make all the people in the place realise more forcibly than they had ever before realised it, how emphatic ally uncertain a possession is human life in the plains of Bengal.

Excerpt from The Legacy of Cain, Vol. 2 of 3 They all notice at home that I am looking worn and haggard. That hideous old maid, Miss Jillgall, had her malicious welcome ready for me when we met at breakfast this morning: 'Dear Helena, what has become of your beauty? One would think you had left it in your room!' Poor deluded Eunice showed her sisterly sympathy: 'Don't joke about it, Selina: can't you see that Helena is ill?' I have been ill; ill of my own wickedness. But the recovery of my tranquillity will bring with it the recovery of my good looks.

This is the journal of Joe Necchi, a junkie living on a barge that plies the rivers and bays of New York. Joe's world is the half-world of drugs and addicts -- the world of furtive fixes in sordid Harlem apartments, of police pursuits down deserted subway stations. Junk for Necchi, however, is a tool, freely chosen and fully justified; he is Cain, the malcontent, the profligate, the rebel who lives by no one's rules but his own. Like DeQuincey and Baudelaire before him, Trocchi's muse was drugs. But unlike his literary predecessors, in his roman a clef, Trocchi never romanticizes the source of his inspiration. If the experience of heroin, of the "fix," is central to Cain's Book, both its destructive force and the possibilities for creativity it creates are recognized and accepted without apology. "Cain's Book is the classic late-1950s account of heroin addiction. . . . An un-self-forgiving existentialism, rendered with writerly exactness and muscularity, set this novel apart from all others of the genre." -- William S. Burroughs

Excerpt from Tubal Cain Alexander Hulings sat at the dingy, green-baize covered table, with one slight knee hung loosely over the other, and his tenuous fingers lightly gripping the time-polished wooden arms of a hickory chair. He was staring somberly, with an immobile, thin, dark countenance, at the white plaster wall before him. Close by his right shoulder a window opened on a tranquil street, where the vermilion maple buds were splitting; and beyond the window a door was ajar on a plank sidewalk. Some shelves held crumbling yellow calf-bound volumes, a few new, with glazed black labels; at the back was a small cannon stove, with an elbow of pipe let into the plaster; a large steel engraving of Chief Justice Marshall hung on the wall; and in a farther corner a careless pile of paper, folded in dockets or tied with casual string, was collecting a grey film of neglect. A small banjo clock, with a brass-railed pediment and an elongated picture in color of the Exchange at Manchester, traced the regular, monotonous passage of minutes into hour. The hour extended, doubled; but Alexander Hulings barely shifted a knee, a hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
