The Return of Sherlock Holmes - The Original Classic Edition

This was the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes had died in The Adventure of the Final Problem. Having published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901?1902 (although setting it before Holmes death) Doyle came under intense pressure to revive his famous character. The first story is set in 1894 and has Holmes returning in London end explain the period from 1891-94, a period called The Great Hiatus by Sherlockian enthusiasts. Also of note is Watsons statement...

A Little Book of Filipino Riddles - The Original Classic Edition

Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich in his Geschichte des Räthsels, says: ?The riddle is an indirect presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors to so present an...

Selected Essays - The Original Classic Edition

This is an excellent selection of the writings of Karl Marx. This includes many writings which do not make it into the usual Marx/Engels Readers; Writings including Marxs Letters, his criticism of Bakunin, more writings on economics than in the usual Reader, and so on. The book is one of the most valuable tomes of Marxism Ive bought. Id recommend anyone interested in the thought of Karl Marx to get this book; If one is interested in both the writings of Marx and Engels, Id recommend...

The History of the Peloponnesian War - The Original Classic Edition

History of the Peloponnesian War is, superficially, merely an account of a war that happened centuries ago, the Peloponnesian War, between Athenas and Sparta. Of course, you might think that the subject is trivial to you. After all, how important can a book like that be?. Well, if you were to think that, you would be enormously mistaken. To start with, this book is a milestone you need to be aware of. Thucydides, its author, is very possibly the first modern historian. He tried to...

Ibsen Henrik

A Doll's House - The Original Classic Edition

Norwegian-born Henrik Ibsens classic play about the struggle between independence and security still resonates with readers and audience members today. Often hailed as an early feminist work, the story of Nora and Torvald rises above simple gender issues to ask the bigger question: To what extent have we sacrificed our selves for the sake of social customs and to protect what we think is love? Noras struggle and ultimate realizations about her life invite all of us to examine our own lives and...

Daddy-Long-Legs - The Original Classic Edition

A sweet Story with a twist : Usually I absolutely hate novels that are supposed to be a collection of letters and/or diary entries for this simple reason, they are as transparent as saran wrap. Something along the lines of Im just jotting down a casual letter to inform you that I just had a terrible fight with so-and-so, heres what we said word for word complete with speaker attributes Thats why I was so pleasantly suprised with this book. The writing is entertaining, intelligent and...

The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, by Richard F. Burton - The Original Classic Edition

Richard Burtons translation of The Arabian Nights is one of the oldest in existence and some people have a problem with this version; its too old, antiquated, etc.; but for this reviewer, the very fact that its an early translation lends the tales much of their charm; it underscores the fact that The Arabian Nights go back for hundreds of years, all the way back to once upon a time. Richard Burton introduces us to Sharazad, that seductive storyteller who took the bull by the horns...

Sonnets - The Original Classic Edition

A colleague advised that I assign my college students this edition, and I am glad she did. Rather than reading the few anthologized works together with some handouts, students now own the entire set. For anyone not familiar with Shakespeares 154 sonnets, this gives an affordable and portable version. For anyone familiar with the works, this book offers them in a beautifully light, compressed format that itself enhances rereading and re-interpretation. As an enthusiast...

Little Men - The Original Classic Edition

Youll laugh and cry: This is truly one of the two best books I have ever read. (The other off course is Little Women). Little men is a book that can make you both laugh and cry. The morals inside are more useful than any of the ten commandments. Louisa May Alcott has definetly done it again. Without giving away everything, these are some of the reasons why you will enjoy the book: 1) You see Jo grow up. She is no longer the wild child whos impetuous and...

James Joyce

Ulysses - The Original Classic Edition

Ulysses has been labeled dirty, blasphemous, and unreadable. In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book–although he found it sufficiently unobscene to allow its importation into the United States–and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyces cloacal obsession. None of these adjectives, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to...

Echoes of the War - The Original Classic Edition

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 look inside: This home of hers (from which, to look after your house, she makes occasionally temporary departures in great style, escorting a barrow) is in one of those what-care-I streets that...

The Wolves of God - The Original Classic Edition

The tales in this book (back in print for the first time in who knows how many years) are by turns mystifying, horrifying, intensely moving, funny, incredibly beautiful… and sometimes all of them at once! Algernon Blackwood is mostly remembered as a great writer of ghost stories, but he was SO much more than that – a writer of (mostly) supernatural tales with a truly unique vision. Theres hardly a ghost to be found in this book, but it is chock full of other kinds of weird manifestations that...

Gov. Bob. Taylor's Tales - The Original Classic Edition

This book presents the famous lectures of Governor Robert L. Taylor. His great popularity as an orator and entertainer, and his wide reputation as a humorist, have caused repeated inquiries from all sections of the country for his lectures in book form; and this has given rise to an earlier publication than was expected. The lectures are given without the slightest abridgment, just as delivered from the platform throughout the country. The consecutive chain of each is left...

The History of Caliph Vathek - The Original Classic Edition

Vathek, the ninth Caliph of the Abassides, is a majestic figure, terrible in anger and addicted to the pleasures of the flesh. He is also insatiable for knowledge, inviting scholars to converse with him. If he fails to convince the scholar of his points of view, he attempts a bribe; if this does not work, he sends the scholar to prison. But for all his powers, Vathek wants even more. Renouncing Islam, he engages in a series of licentious and deplorable activities designed to gain...

This Side of Paradise - The Original Classic Edition

The first thing that will strike you on reading this book will be the timelessness of its subject matter, no matter how dated the setting is. The Ivy League of Fitzgeralds indifferent hero, Amory Blaine, is a thing of the past, with only the faintest reminders of its aura of American royalty remaining today. Reading about Amorys days at Princeton is a bit like looking at the ancient photographs of 19th century football teams that every university seems to have on display in some corner of the...

My Life and Work - The Original Classic Edition

Sometimes with the pace of business we dont take the time to review the thoughts and concepts of the great people of the past. When I read this book I was amazed at his level of thinking. We tend to believe that our generation is always coming up with the great thoughts and ideas. If this is your thinking you need to step back 100 years or so to the life and times of Henry Ford. All we are doing is reinventing what he did. It was amazing to read that many of the ideas and ideals...

Ozma of Oz - The Original Classic Edition

Though I first read this book nearly 50 years ago, it still remains one of the best books I have ever read. Adults may feel that it is a kids book, and of course it is perfect for kids, but believe me, it can be enjoyed by people of any age. All you need is love of a good story. For many years Ozma was my heroine–I dreamed that I would meet her somehow, somehow be transported like Dorothy to the Land of Oz. Though these dreams faded, I still often think that this book might be the...

Romeo And Juliet - The Original Classic Edition

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of playwright William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately unite their feuding families. It was among Shakespeares most popular archetypal stories of young, teenage lovers. Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and...

The Chessmen of Mars - The Original Classic Edition

Burroughs Best Martian Tale – Conventional wisdom has it that the first three books of Burroughs Martian series, A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, and The Warlord of Mars form an excellent trilogy and all the rest of the Martian tales are quite poorly done in comparison. You will disagree. Here are two examples as to why Chessmen is Burroughs best work in this series.

Chesterton G

Orthodoxy - The Original Classic Edition

Entertaining, humorous, intelligent, and full of surprises: Portly, fun loving, witty G.K. Chesterton decided to write this book as a companion volume to his book HERETICS. Since HERETICS had criticised contemporary philosophies, ORTHODOXY was written to present an alternative viewpoint, and is therefore both affirmative in tone and autobiographical in many places. A sampling of his chapter titles gives some idea of Chestertons sense of fun as well as his unusual approach to the...
