What is Latin? If you will look at the map of Italy on the opposite page, you will find near the middle of the peninsula and facing the west coast a district called Latium,1 and Rome its capital. The Latin language, meaning the language of Latium, was spoken by the ancient Romans and other inhabitants of Latium, and Latin was the name applied to it after the armies of Rome had carried the knowledge of her language far beyond its original boundaries. As the English of to-day is not quite the...

Probably one of the first examples of journalistic fiction, Defoes A Journal of the Plague Year is a pseudo-eyewitness account of the London plague of 1665. Writing this in 1722, Defoe casts himself into the role of his uncle whom he calls H.F. and who recounts the events in grisly detail but with magnanimous compassion. Aside from the prose, the book has a surprisingly modern edge in the way it combines facts about a sensationally dire historical event with human interest stories for personal...

William Blake (28 November 1757 ? 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His prophetic poetry has been said to form what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language. <p> His visual artistry has led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him far and away the greatest...

Charles and Mary Beard are name brand historians. There are precious few historians that make it to that level. <p> This is an excellent textbook. Two general themes of the Beards are: <p> 1) economics is a dominant driver of history.<p> 2) America is a story of expanding rights – more groups of people are securing their rights as time goes on. <p> The book focuses on social issues such as how things were manufactured and societal heirarchy rather than battles,...

This biography by Henry Sutherland Edwards (1828-1906) was unusual because of the addition of the School: most of the other books dealt with an individual composer, but Edwards discusses Bellini and provides chapters on Donizetti and Verdi (still alive, and at the height of his powers, at the time this book was published) as well as his main subject. <p> The book covers Rossinis life and deals in detail with what the author regarded as his most significant works – a selection which may...

The Classic Account of the Versailles Peace Treaty – This book gave economist John Maynard Keynes a huge influence on perceptions of the peace treaty signed after World War I – an influence that has been controversial ever since. Critics still argue over whether Keynes exaggerated the deleterious effects of the treaty on Germanys economy. Some also contend that the account, which was widely read during the 1920s, encouraged both German intransigence to overturning the treaty and Allied...

BY FAR THE BEST BOOK on this SUBJECT!!!!!! – This book is a pleasant read about the dynamics of people and relationships, particularly as they relate to romantic interests. The book does not make sweeping generalizations about the sexes nor does it offer a one-size-fits-all snake oil salesman band-aid, that seems to be so prevalent in this genre. The book was not written by a psychologist, a romance guru, but from a young, curious decision making scientist-which I think makes it much more...

Although Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote many stories about societies of the distant future or past, peopled with anything from prehistoric creatures to aliens, I believe that this is the best representation of his talent for writing fast paced, fun to read science fiction. Although he did not have the advantage modern authors do of capitalizing on recent scientific advances for story material, he draws the reader in, especially in this book, with his ability to create a world of wild imagination and...

My imaginary grandmother, cultured, strong and wise, meets Henry David Thoreau meets Leon Leonwood Bean. This book is beyond the beyond sublime and precious. <p> Published in 1915, the authors account is as fresh today as it would have been then. It took me right to the old woods of New England and upstate New York. I wont say another word so that the book can say it for me.... <p> The joyous, exhilarating call of the wilderness and the forest camp is surely and steadily...

At the very beginning of the twentieth century, retired General Robert Baden-Powell, the hero of the siege of Mafeking, coalesced his ideas for an organization to train young British boys in scouting for the British Empire. Not a very organized thinker, Baden-Powell borrowed heavily from all sorts of unrelated resources – newspaper articles, military dispatches, fiction, and much more – and produced this, his first book on scouting. Originally published as six separate books, this book brings...

Brilliant thriller. Ostensibly its about a production of MACBETH, and reflects Leibers theatrical background, but people who have read THE BIG TIME will recognize the characters and realize something far darker is going on, and the choice of MACBETH is highly appropriate. I cant say anything more without spoiling the ending. <p> This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. <p> This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now,...
