Yet despite frequent physical collapses-mainly due to constant respiratory illness-he was an indefatigable writer of novels, poems, essays, letters, travel books, and children's books. He was born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, of a prosperous family of lighthouse engineers. Though he was expected to enter the family profession, he studied instead for the Scottish bar. By the time he was called to the bar, however, he had already begun writing seriously, and he never actually practiced law. In 1880, against his family's wishes, he married an American divorcée, Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne, who was ten years his senior; but the family was soon reconciled to the match, and the marriage proved a happy one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll his life Stevenson traveled-often in a desperate quest for health. He and Fanny, having married in California and spent their honeymoon by an abandoned silver mine, traveled back to Scotland, then to Switzerland, to the South of France, to the American Adirondacks, and finally to the south of France, to the South Seas. As a novelist he was intrigued with the genius of place: \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(1883) began as a map to amuse a boy. Indeed, all his works reveal a profound sense of landscape and atmosphere: \u003cb\u003eKidnapped\u003c\/b\u003e (1886); \u003cb\u003eThe Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde\u003c\/b\u003e (1886); \u003ci\u003eThe Master of Ballantrae\u003c\/i\u003e (1889). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1889 Stevenson's deteriorating health exiled him to the tropics, and he settled in Samoa, where he was given patriarchal status by the natives. His health improved, yet he remained homesick for Scotland, and it was to the \"cold old huddle of grey hills\" of the Lowlands that he returned in his last, unfinished masterpiece, \u003ci\u003e Weir of Hermiston\u003c\/i\u003e (1896). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStevenson dies suddenly on December 3, 1894, not of the long-feared tuberculosis, but of a cerebral hemorrhage. The kindly author of \u003cb\u003eJekyll and Hyde\u003c\/b\u003e went down to the cellar to fetch a bottle of his favorite burgundy, uncorked it in the kitchen, abruptly cried out to his wife, \"What's the matter with me, what is this strangeness, \u003ci\u003ehas my face changed\u003c\/i\u003e?\"-and fell to the floor.

He wrote humorous sketches and vignettes of contemporary Russian life under a pseudonym. His freelance journalism and comic writings made him immensely popular in the Russian public and literary circles by 1888. In 1887, The Lottery Ticket, one of Chekhov's most well-known short stories, was published. Russian drama saw its high point when Chekhov's plays came out. He wrote fourteen plays, of which four were critically acclaimed-- The Seagull (written in 1895), Uncle Vanya (written in 1897), The Three Sisters (written in 1900), and The Cherry Orchard (written in 1903). His stories that created a stir in Russia include ' Peasants' (1897), ' The Black Monk' (1894), ' An Anonymous Story' (1893), ' The Student' (1894), ' Gooseberries' (1898), and ' About Love' (1898), among others.

The capstone to the collection is a previously unpublished novella of supernatural terror, \"Mother of Stone.\" With an introduction by Jeffrey Ford and an afterword by Laird Barron.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Langan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hippocampus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614980544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"John Langan \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47284011532445,"sku":"9781614980544","price":45.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_448ca396-0d3e-4445-aaa9-524a667fa1f3.jpg?v=1759978078"},{"product_id":"ghost-summer-stories-9781607014539","title":"Ghost Summer: Stories","description":"Nominated for an NAACP Image Award!

In her debut collection of short fiction, Due takes us to Gracetown, a small Florida town that has both literal and figurative ghost; into future scenarios that seem all too real; and provides empathetic portraits of those whose lives are touched by Otherness.

Born in 1832, he was educated at Rugby School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he was appointed lecturer in mathematics in 1855, and where he spent the rest of his life. In 1861 he took deacon's orders, but shyness and a stammer prevented him from seeking the priesthood. His most famous works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1872), were originally written for Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Dean of his college.

His father, Munson Lockwood, was a brigadier general in the New York State Militia, a lawyer, and also went on to hold the position of Warden at the famous Sing Sing prison. Both of Ingersoll's uncles, Ralph and Albert Lockwood, were also attorneys. Ingersoll was trained in the law, but before establishing a practice, he was appointed Consul to the Kingdom of Hanover by the Lincoln Administration - becoming the youngest member of a U.S. delegation. After his federal service, Ingersoll came back to New York City where he established a successful firm with his brother Henry. In addition to his legal work, Ingersoll began a writing career, which included political essays, fiction and poetry. His most successful works were his children's novels surrounding the character of Baron Trump. He retired to Saratoga Springs New York where he continued to write, publishing his last book of poetry five years before his death in 1918.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Ingersoll Lockwood \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47285189607581,"sku":"9781946774453","price":28.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_e3d5496b-e18d-4773-b45e-0db0ae988092.jpg?v=1760001713"},{"product_id":"looking-glass-9781984805638","title":"Looking Glass","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn four new novellas, Christina Henry returns to the world of \u003ci\u003eAlice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRed Queen\u003c\/i\u003e, where magic runs as freely as secrets and blood.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLovely Creature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the New City lives a girl with a secret: Elizabeth can do magic.

Lovecraft's fiction is celebrated for its creation of the Cthulhu Mythos, a universe populated by ancient cosmic entities and forbidden knowledge, which has profoundly influenced the horror genre.

P.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer whose innovative blend of horror, science fiction, and fantasy established him as a cornerstone of modern speculative fiction. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft faced early personal tragedies that shaped his fascination with the macabre and the unknown. His works often explored themes of cosmic insignificance and ancient, godlike entities, epitomized by the Cthulhu Mythos-a fictional universe that has profoundly influenced the horror genre.Although Lovecraft struggled financially and received little recognition during his lifetime, his stories, including The Call of Cthulhu and At the Mountains of Madness, have since become classics. His vivid imagination, meticulous world-building, and extensive correspondence inspired a network of authors who expanded on his mythos.Despite his enduring literary impact, Lovecraft's legacy is complicated by his xenophobic and racist views, which have drawn critical scrutiny. Today, his works remain widely read and celebrated for their imaginative depth, while also prompting reflection on the complexities of the author's life and beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"H.
