Woolson Constance

The Front Yard And Other Italian Stories - The Original Classic Edition

Constance Fenimore Woolson (March 5, 1840 ? January 24, 1894) was an American novelist and short story writer. She was a grandniece of James Fenimore Cooper, and is best known for fictions about the Great Lakes region, the American South, and American expatriates in Europe. In 1880 she met Henry James, and the relationship between the two writers has prompted much speculation by biographers, especially Lyndall Gordon in her 1998 book, A Private Life of Henry James. Woolson?s most...

Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Poetical Works - The Original Classic Edition

I love the imagery Poe conjurs. I love the dark psychological revelations experienced by the characters. Dark, intelligent, and at times underrated. Poe is probably one of the best poets/writers from his time. Died way too soon. His body of work is a must have for anyone interested in classic and intelligent literature. His writings depicted very real characters and subjects, at times dark but always cleverly written. Some of classic literature from this time seemed a...

A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis - The Original Classic Edition

While Freud generally has a pretty clear writing style, in this book he assumes absolutely no knowledge of psychoanalysis or his writings whatsoever. A great introduction to Freud for anyone! This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick...

The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories - The Original Classic Edition

This volume spans the length of Mark Twains career, and contains some of his most famous shorter works, which all centre on the subject of Money. The Celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County is the most perfect tall tale in the English language, three flawless pages about Jim Smiley and the bizarre sidelines he would investigate to win a bet, any bet, written in a miraculous mid-19th century California vernacular. If that isnt enough, Twain tops it with the best closing paragraph of any work...

The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished races - The Original Classic Edition

In this volume the author has sought to lay before the reader a description of life and times lying beyond the light of history. This is indeed an extensive subject, and calls for some explanation, both as to the general design of the work and what steps have been taken to secure correct information. History is a word of varied import. In general, when we talk about history, we mean those accounts of past events, times, and circumstances of which we have written records. Not...

Yogananda Paramahansa

Autobiography of a Yogi - The Original Classic Edition

Like Gandhi, Yogananda writes humbly and includes his foibles and the pratfalls he takes as he journeys through lifes lessons. In fact, unless you read elsewhere about his life you wont realize how much he understates his own accomplishments while he honors other spiritual seekers and teachers he encounters. His stories of encounters with amazing saints of all regions and religions are spell-binding, and you may find yourself (like me) devouring the whole book on your first read –...

Pride and Prejudice - The Original Classic Edition

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, Call me Ishmael, the first sentence of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage–tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking...

Wyss Johann

Swiss Family Robinson - The Original Classic Edition

But lets be clear right up front. My 5-star rating of this book applies only to this original unabridged version in Johann Wyss own words. The modernized versions are watered down, time-wasters for word wusses. When I was nine years old I spent months struggling through this book for the first time. The old style language made for rough going, but I persevered. In the end I was rewarded with more than a classic tale marvelously told; I discovered a love of books and earned...

This is a great collection of Dutch recipes. Dutch cooking is not a widely known cruisine and this book will introduce it to more people. You will really...

Songs Of Innocence And Songs Of Experience - The Original Classic Edition

William Blake is one of the giants of poetry. He is often overlooked because of the obliqueness of many of his poems. But this affordable (read: cheap) collection of poems is well worth the price of admission. Most of Blakes most famous and well loved poems are included in this volume. Most of us had to read at least a couple of these poems in school. The Tyger still stands as one of the great poems of the English language. The Fly, The Lamb, Children of a Future Age, London and Ah, Sunflower...

Taft William

On Secret Service - The Original Classic Edition

24 Detective-Mystery Stories Based on Real Cases Solved By Government Agents. This book reads like a James Bond novel…The author did a fantastic job with the sublte foreshadowing in all 24 stories. In addition to this, the usual spy trademarks are here. You have a horrifying villain, revolting flunkies, glorious scenary, a desperate chase that almost gets the goverment agents killed and an unforgetable ending.

Dickens Charles

Martin Chuzzlewit - The Original Classic Edition

With this novel, Dickens left behind the shallow characters that sometimes marred his early works, and developed full-fledged people. Pecksniff and his daughters are marvelous creations that make one cringe with embarassment while laughing at their incredible selfishness. Tom Pinch is another character in a distinguished line of too good to be true Dickensian personalities, but he is shown to suffer and grow into a believable human being. The American episodes are biting in their satire, but...

Aurelius Emperor

Meditations - The Original Classic Edition

Timeless wisdom for a weary world – Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill will, and selfishness-all of them due to the offenders ignorance of what is good or evil. But for my part I have long perceived the nature of good and its nobility, the nature of evil and its meanness, and also the nature of the culprit himself, who is my brother; therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in...

Masoch Leopold

Venus in Furs - The Original Classic Edition

If youve ever been curious about where the term masochism comes from, you will find it laden in the pages of Leopold von Sacher-Masochs masterpiece, Venus in Furs, for whom the term was named. Drawn in part from his own life experiences, Sacher-Masochs novel develops an eroticism unlike any other. The books protagonist, Severin, is so infatuated and obsessed with the object of his desire, Wanda, that he asks to be her slave. Although hesitant at first, Wandas treatment of Severin becomes more...

Poems - The Original Classic Edition

Every now and then certain turns of phrase or glimpses of landscapes in special light or just buried memories of poetic lines surface and send us back to the source for more. So often that source for this reader is TS Eliot and encountering this wondrous collection of his poems written between 1909 and 1962 reinforces the power of this great man of letters. This collection includes the major poems, those works that impacted our philosophy and our art in ways we are only now...

Bunyan Campbell John

The Pilgrim's Progress - The Original Classic Edition

In contrast to Dante, Bunyan fills his allegory with real people, not just stereotypes – or even archetypes. Though his characters have names like Honest, Feeble-mind, and Ignorance, they come across as real people given a nickname. The names apply to some extent, of course, but not to the point of making caricatures out of the characters. This volume contains parts I and II of Pilgrims progress. The first part concerns the journey of a pilgrim named Christian, while the second...

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin - The Original Classic Edition

This book is well-written and engaging, even 300+ years later. It stops in 1760, well before his involvement with the Revolution, but it covers in detail his youth, apprenticeships, the formation of his philosophy and ideals, and his path from poor roots to business and social success – the first telling of the American Dream, the idea that a poor young man could Find His Fortune in the New World through enterprise, wisdom, and work. There is a high degree of self-hagiography here,...

Джейн Остин

Northanger Abbey - The Original Classic Edition

Austens means of poking fun at Gothic horror literature are far from mean-spirited and, as a matter of fact, can be delightfully humorous indeed. Her heroine, Catherine Morland, is by no means the type of heroine to be found in the giant tomes of Radcliffe and her indulgent imitators, as Austen tells her reading audience directly from the very start. Almost attractive on a good day, this unintellectual tomboy has reached her fifteenth year without inspiring a young mans fancy, nor would she be...

The Lost Continent - The Original Classic Edition

For two hundred years, a civilized America had cut off all contact with the war-ruined Eastern Hemisphere until such places as Europe and Great Britain had become mere legends. Then Jefferson Turck dared take his U.S. aero-sub across the 30th Longitude West on the mission of a new Columbus, and a fascinating voyage of discovery. First published in 1915, the motivations for this story are obvious. The nations of the western hemisphere have taken an extreme isolationist stance in the...

The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter - The Original Classic Edition

Although the recommended age range is 4 to 8, I can speak from our own familys experience that 2 is not to young to start learning from the richness of the prose; neither is 63 to old to be enchanted all over again by the animal characters drawn upon her days living in the pastoral region of Lake Windermere, England. One can picture Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck and friends in the ponds, woods and hedgerows of that gentle region. I had several of the small Beatrix Potter books as...
