Julius Caesar - The Original Classi...

Shakespeare William

Julius Caesar - The Original Classic Edition

Julius Caesar is a tale of honor and betrayal. Pompey, a beloved Roman leader, is defeated in civil war with Caesar. A small brotherhood, let by Marcus Brutus, is still devoted to him after his death, and wants nothing less than the assassination of their new leader. I had expected Caesars death (Et tu, Bruté? Then fall Caesar.) to be near the end of the book. However, it turned out to be within the third of five acts. The rest of the book is devoted to the attempts by Brutuss followers and Marc...

From the Earth to the Moon - The Original Classic Edition

While I naturally have long admired Jules Verne for his outstanding scientific vision and prodigious talent as a writer, I really had no idea that he could also write in such an entertaining and humorous fashion as revealed in this short novel. My memories of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea consist to a large degree of stretches of pages devoted to pure scientific language that could be hard to get through, but this book is an easy read full of action and laugh-out-loud commentary. Dont get me...

Lord Jim - The Original Classic Edition

This is one of those books that anybody who has been through high school should have been exposed to. I remember being assigned this book as a junior or senior and bluffing my way through without really reading it. I even got a literature degree without reading it. Finally, after many years, I felt that I should give the novel its due, and picked up a copy. The novel is the story of Jim, an overly romantic seaman, who during a moment of crisis loses his courage. He is first mate on a...

Norton Andre

Time Traders - The Original Classic Edition

There is nothing quite like the type of space yarn that the great and greatly prolific Andre Norton wrote in the 1950s and 1960s. Well-crafted, colorful, exciting, with a wonderful sense of strangeness and awe to the settings and descriptions, these books never fail to delight, no matter how many times you read them. Even the elements which tend to date these novels add a sort of nostalgic charm that I find irresistable. If you have yet to get into Andre Norton, now is...

Morgan William

The Mysteries of Free Masonry - The Original Classic Edition

William Morgan was ultimately murdered by Freemasons after publishing this book. Interestingly, after his death his wife became a plural wife of Mormonisms founder, Joseph Smith. This is the straight account of the rituals of Freemasonry, with no spin. Highly recommended. This book represents a great historical artifact of the anti-masonic movement of the 19th Century. While supposed detailed descriptions of Masonic ritual abound on the internet today, at the time this tell-all book...

The Divine Comedy - The Original Classic Edition

The Divine Comedy (Italian: La Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The poems imaginative and allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian...

GASKELL ELIZABETH

North and South - The Original Classic Edition

In so many ways this novel is a treasure. Its not easy to write a political novel with a strong love story and good characterizations. Gaskell takes on quite a bit and mostly succeeds in her task of describing the changes industrialization brought to England. She balances her sympathy for the workers in the factories with the dilemmas posed to the mill owners by new machinery, competition from abroad, and the threats of potential workers strikes. She contrasts very effectively the excitement of...

Warlord of Mars - The Original Classic Edition

Edgar Rice Burroughs did not intended to write a trilogy, but his 1914 pulp novel The Warlord of Mars completes the story begun in A Princess of Mars and continued in The Gods of Mars and finally brings John Carter and his beloved Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium (i.e., no cliffhanger this time around, boys and girls). The characters are all extremely likable. John Carter is the perfect southern gentleman. Honorable, loyal, incredibly brave, respectful to women, extremely handsome;...

Tarzan of the Apes - The Original Classic Edition

Edgar Rice Burroughs started writing adventure novels nearly 100 years ago. The most famous of his characters is, or course, Tarzan. And this book is the one that got the Tarzan legacy started. In this book you meet Tarzan, learn who he really is, where he came from, how he became lord of the apes and protector of the jungle, and the English Earl of Greystoke. You also learn the story behind the story about Tarzan and Jane. This Tarzan book is probably the best of the...

King Solomon's Mines - The Original Classic Edition

In this classic adventure story so much of the action and plot devices are used in other adventure stories (and comic books and movies), yet Rider Haggard came decades earlier. This book is one of the prototypes (along with Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island, written just a few years earlier) of the modern adventure-action story. There is lots to admire in this well crafted story: great action, excitement, characters, and exotic locations. If theres a kid you know that only wants to watch...

Diary of Anna Green Winslow - The Original Classic Edition

A rare view of colonial life from a bright and sensitive 12 year old girl from Nova Scotia, who was sent to Boston in 1770 by her parents to be educated in Boston schools. The diary was not published until 1894 when it was issued with notes and an introduction by Alice Morse Earle. ALICE MORSE EARLE (1851-1911) was a popular writer of the Colonial Revival movement. She was the author of seventeen books, many of them about daily life in early America, especially in New England. Thanks...

Mansfield Park - The Original Classic Edition

After having read (and loved) Jane Austens more famous novels EMMA and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, you will find MANSFIELD PARK a true delight. Fanny Price is taken in by her wealthy aunt and uncle as charity to her more lowly-married mother, and is raised with her cousins with the idea she needs refinement and education to become as good a woman as her lesser social standing will allow. Fanny is nervous and self-effacing, struggling with her new situation until her cousin Edmund makes her feel more at...

Utopia - The Original Classic Edition

Utopia, written in 1516 by Thomas More, is probably one of the most important books ever written. Why?. Simply because it influenced many people, and motivated many events: it made a difference. Utopia means, literally, no place. The word didnt exist until More coined it in this book. He wanted to make a critic regarding the English society of his time, but needed to cloak it under a fictional mantle due to censure. Displeasing the king was very dangerous in Mores time. ...

The Princess and the Goblin - The Original Classic Edition

C.S. Lewis has written of encountering a sense of the holy while reading the works of George MacDonald. I agree with Lewis assessment when it comes to The Princess and the Goblin. Anyone who reads this book with profit by having done so. First, and perhaps most importantly The Princess and the Goblin is a delightful story. There is a lot of the just plain fun reading stuff going on in this story. There is also a lot more. MacDonald has buried a lot of treasures within the...

House of Mirth - The Original Classic Edition

It had been 16 years since I last read of Lily Bart and her life, and I didnt realize how much I had missed her upon re-reading. For me, this is one of the great reading experiences, one of a handful that make reading a book the deeply moving and human exchange that it is. Despite the distance of wealth, property, time and manners, Wharton manages to make Lilys world and life palpable to anyone who will listen. The clash of money, morals, personality and circumstance is infinitely developed and...

A Princess of Mars - The Original Classic Edition

Although Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is justifiably famous as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes, that uprooted Englishman was not his only popular hero. Burroughss first sale (in 1912) was A Princess of Mars, opening the floodgates to one of the must successful–and prolific–literary careers in history. This is a wonderful scientific romance that perhaps can be best described as early science fiction melded with an epic dose of romantic adventure. A Princess of Mars is the first...

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations - The Original Classic Edition

Addressing the nature and causes of the wealth of nations, Adam Smith made one of the most potent contributions to subsequent ideological history. In the West since the early-19th century he has been the patron saint of homo economicus. More recently, successive British governments have invoked his policy recommendations of free trade and laissez-faire to aid their extension of privatization and market effectiveness into areas such as health and education. Smith, however, not only viewed...

Through the Looking-Glass - The Original Classic Edition

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). It is the sequel to Alices Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May (4 May), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night...

Villette - The Original Classic Edition

Having read this book 7 times over the past 15 years, I find that the story and characters just get better and better! As much as I idolize Jane Eyre, this story of the oft depressed and melancholy Lucy Snowe sparks the imagination. Lucy is a Jane Eyre without the chutzpah, and with loads less self-esteem; but shares Janes strict code of conduct, and forces you to value her. In a way, I believe Lucy finds an even worthier match than Jane did–in M. Paul Emmanuel, passionate professor...
