It is\n      so divinable, if not so perceptible, that its presence may usually be\n      recognized as a beginning of the turn in every tide which is sure, sooner\n      or later, to come. In reform, it is the menace of reaction; in reaction,\n      it is the promise of reform; we may take heart as we must lose heart from\n      it. A few years ago, when a movement which carried fiction to the highest\n      place in literature was apparently of such onward and upward sweep that\n      there could be no return or descent, there was a counter-current in it\n      which stayed it at last, and pulled it back to that lamentable level where\n      fiction is now sunk, and the word \"novel\" is again the synonym of all that\n      is morally false and mentally despicable. Yet that this, too, is partly\n      apparent, I think can be shown from some phases of actual fiction which\n      happen to be its very latest phases, and which are of a significance as\n      hopeful as it is interesting. Quite as surely as romanticism lurked at the\n      heart of realism, something that we may call \"psychologism\" has been\n      present in the romanticism of the last four or five years, and has now\n      begun to evolve itself in examples which it is the pleasure as well as the\n      duty of criticism to deal with.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 726 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Howells, William Dean \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Howells, William Dean,1837-1920 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211166875805,"sku":"gb-726-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/726_67f71a0f-681a-4618-8adb-213459989102.jpg?v=1671248690"},{"product_id":"the-lock-and-key-library-the-most-interesting-stories-of-all-nations-north-europe-russian-swedish-danish-hungarian-gb-1552","title":"The Lock and Key Library: The Most Interesting Stories of All Nations: North Europe — Russian — Swedish — Danish — Hungarian","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Lock and Key Library: The Most Interesting Stories of All Nations: North Europe — Russian — Swedish — Danish — Hungarian\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease take a look at the important information in this header.\r\nWe encourage you to keep this file on your own disk, keeping an\r\nelectronic path open for the next readers.

If Baron de Tott\n      dauntlessly discharged an enormous piece of artillery, the Baron\n      Munchausen has done more; he has taken it and swam with it across the sea.\n      When travellers are solicitous to be the heroes of their own story, surely\n      they must admit to superiority, and blush at seeing themselves out-done by\n      the renowned Munchausen: I doubt whether any one hitherto, Pantagruel,\n      Gargantua, Captain Lemuel, or De Tott, has been able to out-do our Baron\n      in this species of excellence: and as at present our curiosity seems much\n      directed to the interior of Africa, it must be edifying to have the real\n      relation of Munchausen's adventures there before any further intelligence\n      arrives; for he seems to adapt himself and his exploits to the spirit of\n      the times, and recounts what he thinks should be most interesting to his\n      auditors.\n    \n\n      I do not say that the Baron, in the following stories, means a satire on\n      any political matters whatever. No; but if the reader understands them so,\n      I cannot help it.\n    \n\n      If the Baron meets with a parcel of negro ships carrying whites into\n      slavery to work upon their plantations in a cold climate, should we\n      therefore imagine that he intends a reflection on the present traffic in\n      human flesh? And that, if the negroes should do so, it would be simple\n      justice, as retaliation is the law of God! If we were to think this a\n      reflection on any present commercial or political matter, we should be\n      tempted to imagine, perhaps, some political ideas conveyed in every page,\n      in every sentence of the whole. Whether such things are or are not the\n      intentions of the Baron the reader must judge.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3154 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Raspe, Rudolf Erich \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 6, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Raspe, Rudolf Erich,1737-1794 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212330369181,"sku":"gb-3154-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3154_d52cbc21-120e-4976-9e4c-bae8213edefb.jpg?v=1671255181"},{"product_id":"short-stories-and-essays-from-literature-and-life-gb-3379","title":"Short Stories and Essays (from Literature and Life)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShort Stories and Essays (from Literature and Life)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n      The other winter, as I was taking a morning walk down to the East River, I\r\n      came upon a bit of our motley life, a fact of our piebald civilization,\r\n      which has perplexed me from time to time, ever since, and which I wish now\r\n      to leave with the reader, for his or her more thoughtful consideration.\r\n    \n\r\n      The morning was extremely cold. It professed to be sunny, and there was\r\n      really some sort of hard glitter in the air, which, so far from being\r\n      tempered by this effulgence, seemed all the stonier for it. Blasts of\r\n      frigid wind swept the streets, and buffeted each other in a fury of\r\n      resentment when they met around the corners. Although I was passing\r\n      through a populous tenement-house quarter, my way was not hindered by the\r\n      sports of the tenement-house children, who commonly crowd one from the\r\n      sidewalks; no frowzy head looked out over the fire-escapes; there were no\r\n      peddlers carts or voices in the road-way; not above three or four\r\n      shawl-hooded women cowered out of the little shops with small purchases in\r\n      their hands; not so many tiny girls with jugs opened the doors of the beer\r\n      saloons. The butchers windows were painted with patterns of frost,\r\n      through which I could dimly see the frozen meats hanging like hideous\r\n      stalactites from the roof. When I came to the river, I ached in sympathy\r\n      with the shipping painfully atilt on the rocklike surface of the brine,\r\n      which broke against the piers, and sprayed itself over them like showers\r\n      of powdered quartz.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3379 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Howells, William Dean \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 22, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Howells, William Dean,1837-1920 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212349178013,"sku":"gb-3379-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3379_c6543a9d-6046-4264-804b-eea5cd34d10e.jpg?v=1671255760"},{"product_id":"in-the-sweet-dry-and-dry-gb-4249","title":"In the Sweet Dry and Dry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn the Sweet Dry and Dry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nAs far as this book is concerned, the public may Take It, or the public\r\nmay Let It Alone.

It was six o'clock of a warm summer afternoon: he was filling\r\nhis pipe and turning over the pages of the Final edition of the paper,\r\nwhich had just come up from the press-room. After the turmoil of the\r\nday the room had quieted, most of the reporters had left, and the\r\nshaded lamps shone upon empty tables and a floor strewn ankle-deep with\r\npapers.

He was mightily proud of it, all the same.\nThe great sight of his place, however, was the hero's private den at the\r\nbottom of the garden. Picture to yourself a large hall gleaming from top to\r\nbottom with firearms and weapons of all sorts: carbines, rifles,\r\nblunderbusses, bowie-knives, revolvers, daggers, flint-arrows--in a word,\r\nexamples of the deadly weapons of all races used by man in all parts of the\r\nworld. Everything was neatly arranged, and labelled as if it were in a\r\npublic museum. \"Poisoned Arrows. Please do not touch!\" was the warning on\r\none of the cards. \"Weapons loaded.

In 1858, when his feet\r\nbecame lame, he abandoned this study, and took up philology and\r\narchology. After 1859 he devoted himself almost exclusively to\r\nEgyptology. Having recovered from his long illness, he visited the most\r\nimportant European museums, and in 1869 he travelled to Egypt, Nubia, and\r\nArabia. On his return he took the chair of Egyptology at Leipzig\r\nUniversity. He went back to Egypt in 1872, and discovered, besides many\r\nother important inscriptions, the famous papyrus which bears his name. \"An\r\nEgyptian Princess\" is his first important novel, written during his\r\nillness, and published in 1864. It has gone through numerous editions, and\r\nhas been translated into most European languages. It was followed by\r\nseveral other similar works of fiction, of which \"Serapis\" achieved wide\r\npopularity.

Alma Lee, the coachman's handsome young daughter, is toiling up a\r\nsteep hill overlooking Chalkburne, tired and laden with parcels from the\r\ntown. As she leans on a gate, Judkins, a fellow-servant of her father's,\r\ndrives up in a smart dog-cart, and offers her a lift home. She refuses\r\nscornfully, to the young groom's mortification; he drives off, hurt by her\r\ncoquetry and prophesying that pride goes before a fall.\nThen a sound of bells is heard--a waggon drawn by a fine bell-team\r\nclimbs the hill, and stops by Alma. She accepts the waggoner's offer of a\r\nlift, and on reaching the gate of her home in the dusk, is distressed by\r\nhis insistence on a kiss in payment, when out of the tree-shadows steps\r\nCyril Maitland, the graceful and gifted son of the rector of Malbourne,\r\nnewly ordained deacon.\nHe rebukes the waggoner, rescues Alma, and escorts her across a field to\r\nher father's cottage. There he is welcomed with respectful affection as the\r\nrector's son and Alma's former playmate. Afterwards she lights him to the\r\ngate, where a chance word of his evokes from her an innocent and\r\nunconscious betrayal of her secret love, kindling such strong response in\r\nhim as he cannot conquer except by touching a letter in his breast-pocket.\r\nThis letter is from Marion Everard, to whom he has been a year engaged.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 10993 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Hammerton, J.

The son of\r\na London glass merchant, Peacock was born at Weymouth on October 18, 1785.\r\nEarly in life he was engaged in some mercantile occupation, which, however,\r\nhe did not follow up for long. Then came a period of study, and he became\r\nan excellent classical scholar. His first ambition was to become a poet,\r\nand between 1804 and 1806 he published two slender volumes of verse, which\r\nattracted little or no attention. Yet Peacock was a poet of considerable\r\nmerit, his best work in this direction being scattered at random throughout\r\nhis novels. In 1812 he contracted a friendship with Shelley, whose executor\r\nhe became with Lord Byron. Peacock's first novel, \"Headlong Hall,\" appeared\r\nin 1816, and is interesting not so much as a story pure and simple, but as\r\na study of the author's own temperament. His personalities are seldom real\r\nlive characters; they are, rather, mouthpieces created for the purposes of\r\ndiscussion. Peacock died on January 23, 1866. \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 11527 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Hammerton, J.

They had dwelt together almost all their days; both were\r\norphaned and destitute, and owed their lives to the same hand.

It had about\r\na score of houses and homesteads, with shutters of bright green or\r\nsky-blue, and roofs rose-red or black and white, and walls whitewashed\r\nuntil they shone in the sun like snow. In the centre of the village\r\nstood a windmill, placed on a little moss-grown slope; it was a landmark\r\nto all the level country round. It had once been painted scarlet, sails\r\nand all, but that had been in its infancy, half a century or more\r\nearlier, when it had ground wheat for the soldiers of Napoleon; and it\r\nwas now a ruddy brown, tanned by wind and weather.

His\r\nearly education was acquired first at home under his father, the rector\r\nof Birkin, then at Rugby, where he was sent at the age of fourteen. In\r\n1855 he entered Balliol College, Oxford, and came under the influence of\r\nJowett, afterwards famous as Master of Balliol and translator of Plato.\r\nThough he matured early, Green was not a brilliant student. On the\r\ncontrary, he appeared to be indolent and sluggish. \"No man,\" wrote one\r\nof his fellow-students in 1862, \"is driven with greater difficulty to\r\nwork not to his taste.... He wrote some of the best college essays: he\r\nnever sent them in on the right day, and might generally be seen on the\r\nMonday pondering over essays which every one else had sent in on the\r\nFriday night.\" These traits, however, as it proved later, were the index\r\nnot of a vagrant mind, but of independence of thought and of\r\npreoccupation with weightier matters. To quote again from the tribute of\r\na fellow-student: \"On everything he said or wrote there was stamped the\r\nimpress of[Pg 10] a forcible individuality, a mind that thought for itself,\r\nand whose thoughts had the rugged strength of an original character\r\nwherein grimness was mingled with humor, and practical shrewdness with a\r\nlove for abstract speculation.\" In the end, his solid qualities of mind\r\nand character made so strong an impression upon the University\r\nauthorities that in 1860 he was elected fellow of Balliol. At the same\r\ntime he became lecturer on ancient and modern history. Though from the\r\nbeginning of his student life he had been drawn to an academic career\r\nand especially to the study of philosophy, he was now for a period\r\nundecided what to make his life-work. At one time he thought of going\r\ninto journalism in India. In 1864, having accepted a place with the\r\nRoyal Commission on Middle Class Schools, he prepared a valuable report\r\nupon the organization of high schools and their relation to the\r\nuniversity. Finally, however, in 1866, his indecision was brought to an\r\nend. Obtaining an appointment in that year to a position on the teaching\r\nstaff of Balliol College, he settled down to the work of a tutor in\r\nphilosophy. When Jowett was made Master of Balliol, Green became, under\r\nhim, the responsible manager of the college, performing the manifold\r\nsmall duties of the position with patience, thoroughness, and tact.\nIn 1871 he was married to Miss Charlotte Symonds, sister of John Addington Symonds.\n[Pg 11]Twice Green was candidate for a professorship; once in 1864 when he\r\napplied for the chair of moral philosophy at St. Andrews, and again in\r\n1867 when the Waynflate professorship of moral and metaphysical\r\nphilosophy fell vacant at Oxford. In both cases he was unsuccessful. It\r\nwas not until 1878, by his election to the Whyte's professorship of\r\nmoral philosophy, that he obtained the position and the independence he\r\nhad long deserved. His enjoyment of the honor was brief. He died of\r\nblood-poisoning, after an illness of only ten days, March 26, 1882.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 20843 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Green, Thomas Hill \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 17, 2007 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Scott, Fred Newton, 1860-1931 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Green, Thomas Hill,1836-1882 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217898209437,"sku":"gb-20843-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/20843.jpg?v=1671457802"},{"product_id":"character-sketches-of-romance-fiction-and-the-drama-vol-3-gb-20851","title":"Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama, Vol. 3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharacter Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama, Vol. 3\r - A Revised American Edition of the Reader's Handbook\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA number of typographical errors have been maintained\r\nin the current version of this book.

Niinp vanha Ransonin kislli, Richard Hayes hyvin\r\nmielellns katseli mestarinsa tytrt, kuuli hnen puhuvan ja vaihti\r\nhnen kanssansa muutamia sanoja  tosiaankin paljoa mieluisemmin kuin\r\nvanha herra ja ylipns kukaan muukaan saattoi uneksia, paitsi tytr ja\r\nkislli itse. Mit vanha Ranson olisi tehnyt, jos hn olisi tmn\r\naavistanut, sit en tied. Mutta luultavasti olisi hn antanut\r\nkisllille kelpo selksaunan  ja tm kentiesi olisi yrittnyt\r\nvastarintaa. Kuinka lieneekin, melkein varmana pidn, ettei rakkaus sen\r\nkautta olisi sammunut, vaan pinvastoin kynyt viel kiihkemmksi.\r\nNmt arvelut siksens, palatkaamme kertomukseemme. Kisllin elm ei\r\nollut hupainen, sill vanha Ransonin ksitteet siit, miten kisllej\r\npiti soveliaasti kohteleman, olivat perityt kuningas Elisabetin\r\nkunnian-rikkaista ajoista ja olivat sitten kalliina perintn kulkeneet\r\npitkn esi-issarjan kautta, kunnes olivat sijaantuneet Ransonin\r\npkalloon. Hn uskoi, ett kaikissa kislleiss on auttamaton\r\nluonnollinen taipumus korttien-lyntiin, ryyppmiseen sek\r\nkaikenlaiseen muuhun rentustelemiseen. Hn uskoi ett, jos ei mestarien\r\nsilm ollut alituisesti heit valvomassa, he heittisivt tyns\r\nhunningolle, rystisivt raha-laatikon ja tekisivt kaiken maailman\r\nrosvotit. Tt satulamaakarimme lujaa uskoa eivt saattaneet mitkn\r\ntodistelemiset kumota.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 23793 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Various \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 10, 2007 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: Finnish \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Various \/ eBook \/ Finnish","offer_id":43218180276381,"sku":"gb-23793-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/23793.jpg?v=1671469613"},{"product_id":"eastern-tales-by-many-story-tellers-gb-26358","title":"Eastern Tales by Many Story Tellers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEastern Tales by Many Story Tellers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003en compiling this volume of Eastern Tales, the Editor has been careful\r\nto select only those best suited to youthful readers. They have been\r\ngathered from both ancient and modern, French, Italian, and English\r\nsources, and therefore offer great variety of style and subject.\nIn the stories taken from the Tales of the Genii, an omission of a few\r\nwords has been made, to fit them for their place in this volume.\n\n\n[1]\nnce upon a time there lived in the city of Bagdad a young man called\r\nJalaladdeen. It was not his native place; but, in his early days, his\r\nfather had taken up his abode there. He was, however, little\r\nacquainted with the town, in which he had grown up a sturdy youth; for\r\nhis father inhabited a small house in one of the suburbs, and lived a\r\nvery retired and frugal life. They managed[2] their household affairs,\r\nand cultivated their small garden, without the aid of any domestics.\nOne day the father, feeling his end approaching, called for his son\r\nonce more to his bed-side before his death, and said to him,\r\n\"Jalaladdeen, my dearest son, thou seest that I have arrived at the\r\nbourne of my earthly career: now I should joyously quit this life,\r\nwere it not for the thought that I must leave thee here alone. After\r\nmy death, thou wilt find that thou are not so poor as thou mayest have\r\nconceived, and that too with good reason, from our hitherto contracted\r\nhabits of life. Nevertheless, guard against the impression that thou\r\nart in possession of inexhaustible riches. Reflect that a year has\r\nthree hundred and sixty-five days, and that the smallest expenditure,\r\nwhen it occurs daily, will in the end amount to no inconsiderable sum.\r\nPay careful heed, therefore, to these my instructions, and be\r\ncontented with the necessaries of life. Provide that which is\r\nindispensable to thy subsistence; but beware of purchasing\r\nsuperfluities. Man's wants increase daily, if he do not accustom\r\nhimself in his early days to practise self-denial. But shouldest thou\r\never be so unhappy as to neglect these my sincere cautions, and\r\nconsequently fall into poverty, I have only this piece of advice left\r\nfor thee:Take this rope, fasten it to the nail in yonder wall, and\r\npull stoutly three times.\"\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 26358 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Valentine, L.

The Boy Scouts of America has incorporated the\r\n\"campfire\" in its program for council and friendship\r\nand story-telling. In one volume, the Boy Scouts Book\r\nof Campfire Stories makes available to scoutmasters and\r\nother leaders a goodly number of stories worthy of\r\ntheir attention, and when well told likely to arrest and\r\nhold the interest of boys in their early teens, when \"stirs\r\nthe bloodto bubble in the veins.\"\nAt this time, when the boy is growing so rapidly in\r\nbrain and body, he can have no better teacher than some\r\nmighty woodsman.

Alles\r\nist neu fr sie und dennoch vertraut, abenteuerlich und\r\ndennoch Besitz. Die Welt ist weit und doch wie das\r\neigene Haus, denn das Feuer, das in der Seele brennt,\r\nist von derselben Wesensart wie die Sterne; sie scheiden\r\nsich scharf, die Welt und das Ich, das Licht und das\r\nFeuer, und werden doch niemals einander fr immer\r\nfremd; denn Feuer ist die Seele eines jeden Lichts\r\nund in Licht kleidet sich ein jedes Feuer. So wird\r\nalles Tun der Seele sinnvoll und rund in dieser Zweiheit:\r\nvollendet in dem Sinn und vollendet fr die Sinne;\r\nrund, weil die Seele in sich ruht whrend des Handelns;\r\nrund, weil ihre Tat sich von ihr ablst und selbstgeworden\r\neinen eigenen Mittelpunkt findet und einen geschlossenen\r\nUmkreis um sich zieht. Philosophie ist\r\neigentlich Heimweh, sagt Novalis, der Trieb berall\r\n10zu Hause zu sein. Deshalb ist Philosophie als Lebensform\r\nsowohl wie als das Formbestimmende und das\r\nInhaltgebende der Dichtung immer ein Symptom des\r\nRisses zwischen Innen und Auen, ein Zeichen der\r\nWesensverschiedenheit von Ich und Welt, der Inkongruenz\r\nvon Seele und Tat. Deshalb haben die seligen\r\nZeiten keine Philosophie, oder, was dasselbe besagt,\r\nalle Menschen dieser Zeiten sind Philosophen, Inhaber\r\ndes utopischen Zieles jeder Philosophie. Denn was ist\r\ndie Aufgabe der wahren Philosophie, wenn nicht das\r\nAufzeichnen jener urbildlichen Landkarte; was ist das\r\nProblem des transzendentalen Ortes, wenn nicht die\r\nBestimmung des Zugeordnetseins jeder aus dem tiefsten\r\nInnern quellenden Regung zu einer ihr unbekannten,\r\nihr aber von Ewigkeit her zugemessenen, sie in erlsender\r\nSymbolik einhllenden Form? Dann ist die\r\nLeidenschaft der von der Vernunft vorherbestimmte\r\nWeg zur vollendeten Selbstheit, und aus dem Wahnsinn\r\nsprechen rtselvolle, aber enthllbare Zeichen einer\r\nsonst zum Stummsein verurteilten transzendenten Macht.\r\nDann gibt es noch keine Innerlichkeit, denn es gibt noch\r\nkein Auen, kein Anderes fr die Seele. Indem diese\r\nauf Abenteuer ausgeht und sie besteht, ist ihr die\r\nwirkliche Qual des Suchens und die wirkliche Gefahr\r\ndes Findens unbekannt: sich selbst setzt diese Seele\r\nnie aufs Spiel; sie wei noch nicht, da sie sich verlieren\r\nkann und denkt nie daran, da sie sich suchen\r\nmu. Es ist das Weltzeitalter des Epos. Nicht Leidlosigkeit\r\noder Gesichertheit des Seins kleiden hier\r\n11Menschen und Taten in frhlich-strenge Umrisse (das\r\nSinnlose und Trauervolle des Weltgeschehens ist nicht\r\ngewachsen seit Beginn der Zeiten, nur die Trostgesnge\r\nklingen heller oder gedmpfter), sondern diese Angemessenheit\r\nder Taten an die inneren Anforderungen\r\nder Seele: an Gre, an Entfaltung, an Ganzheit. Wenn\r\ndie Seele noch keinen Abgrund in sich kennt, der sie\r\nzum Absturz locken oder auf wegelose Hhen treiben\r\nknnte, wenn die Gottheit, die die Welt verwaltet und\r\ndie unbekannten und ungerechten Gaben des Geschickes\r\nausteilt, unverstanden aber bekannt und nahe den\r\nMenschen gegenbersteht, wie der Vater dem kleinen\r\nKinde, dann ist jede Tat nur ein gutsitzendes Gewand\r\nder Seele. Sein und Schicksal, Abenteuer und Vollendung,\r\nLeben und Wesen sind dann identische Begriffe.\r\nDenn die Frage, als deren gestaltende Antwort das Epos\r\nentsteht, ist: wie kann das Leben wesenhaft werden?\r\nUnd das Unnahbare und Unerreichbare Homers  und\r\nstreng genommen sind nur seine Gedichte Epen  stammt\r\ndaher, da er die Antwort gefunden hat, bevor der Gang\r\ndes Geistes in der Geschichte die Frage laut werden lie.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 26972 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lukács, György \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 20, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: German \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lukács, György,1885-1971 \/ eBook \/ German","offer_id":43218834292893,"sku":"gb-26972-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/26972.jpg?v=1671507860"},{"product_id":"jutelmia-ja-tarinoita-gb-27470","title":"Jutelmia ja tarinoita","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJutelmia ja tarinoita\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSrkynyt ruukku, H.

The reasons for this apparently arbitrary preference on\r\nthe part of authors are perfectly easy to explain. The instinctive acts\r\nof the dog, who is a company-loving brute, are very human; his\r\npsychology on occasion is almost human. He often behaves as a man would\r\nbehave. It is therefore a comparatively simple matter to insert a dog\r\ninto a story about men, for he can often carry it along after the\r\nfashion of a human character.\nBut, as Andrew Lang has so well observed, literature can never take a\r\nthing simply for what it is worth. \"The plain-dealing dog must be\r\ndistinctly bored by the ever-growing obligation to live up to the\r\nanecdotes of him.... These anecdotes are not told for his sake; they are\r\ntold to save the self-respect of people who want an idol, and who are\r\ndistorting him into a figure of pure convention for their domestic\r\naltars. He is now expected to discriminate between relations and mere\r\nfriends of the house; to wag his tail at God Save the Queen; to count\r\nup to five in chips of fire-wood, and to seven in mutton bones; to howl\r\nfor all deaths in the family above the degree of second cousin; to post\r\nletters, and refuse them when they have been insufficiently stamped; and\r\nlast, and most intolerable, to show a tender solicitude when tabby is\r\nout of sorts.\" The[Pg x] dog, indeed, for the most part, has become as\r\nsentimental and conventional a figure in current fiction as the ghost\r\nwho haunts the ouija board or the idealistic soldier returned from the\r\nwars to reconstruct his own country.\nNow the cat, independent, liberty-loving, graceful, strong, resourceful,\r\ndignified, and self-respecting, has a psychology essentially feline,\r\nwhich has few points of contact with human psychology. The cat does not\r\nrescue babies from drowning or say his prayers in real life;\r\nconsequently any attempt to make him do so in fiction would be\r\nridiculous. He has, to be sure, his own virtues. To me these are\r\nconsiderably greater than those of any other animal. But the fact\r\nremains that the satisfactory treatment of the cat in fiction requires\r\nnot only a deep knowledge of but also a deep affection for the sphinx of\r\nthe fireside. Even then the difficulties can only be met in part, for\r\nthe novelist must devise a situation in which human and feline\r\npsychology can be merged. The Egyptians probably could have written good\r\ncat stories. Perhaps they did. I sometimes ponder over the possibility\r\nof a cat room having been destroyed in the celebrated holocaust of\r\nAlexandria. The folk and fairy tales devoted to the cat, of which there\r\nare many, are based on an understanding, although often superficial, of\r\ncat traits. But the moderns, speaking generally, have not been able to\r\ndo justice, in the novel or the short story, to this occult and lovable\r\nlittle beast.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 30092 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Alden, W.

But like other\r\nparvenus it is still a little uncertain of its position in the\r\nsociety in which it moves. It is a newcomer in the literary\r\nworld; and it has the self-assertiveness and the touchiness\r\nnatural to the situation. It brags of its descent,\r\nalthough its origins are obscure. It has won its way to\r\nthe front and it has forced its admission into circles where\r\nit was formerly denied access. It likes to forget that it\r\nwas once but little better than an outcast, unworthy\r\nof recognition from those in authority. Perhaps it is\r\nstill uneasily conscious that not a few of those who were\r\nborn to good society may look at it with cold suspicion\r\nas though it was still on sufferance.\nStory-telling has always been popular, of course; and\r\nthe desire is deep-rooted in all of us to hear and to tell\r\nsome new thing and to tell again something deserving\r\nremembrance. But the novel itself, and the short-story\r\nalso, must confess that they have only of late been able\r\nto claim equality with the epic and the lyric, and with\r\ncomedy and tragedy, literary forms consecrated by antiquity.\r\nThere were nine muses in Greece of old, and\r\n[pg x]\r\nno one of these daughters of Apollo was expected to inspire\r\nthe writer of prose-fiction. Whoever had then a\r\nstory to tell, which he wished to treat artistically, never\r\ndreamed of expressing it except in the nobler medium\r\nof verse, in the epic, in the idyl, in the drama. Prose\r\nseemed to the Greeks, and even to the Latins who followed\r\nin their footsteps, as fit only for pedestrian purposes.\r\nEven oratory and history were almost rhythmic;\r\nand mere prose was too humble an instrument for those\r\nwhom the Muses cherished. The Alexandrian vignettes\r\nof the gentle Theocritus may be regarded as anticipations\r\nof the modern short-story of urban local color; but this\r\ndelicate idyllist used verse for the talk of his Tanagra\r\nfigurines.\nEven when the modern languages entered into the\r\ninheritance of Latin and Greek, verse held to its ancestral\r\nprivileges, and the brief tale took the form of the\r\nballad, and the longer narrative called itself a chanson\r\nde geste. Boccaccio and Rabelais and Cervantes might\r\nwin immediate popularity and invite a host of imitators;\r\nbut it was long after their time before a tale in prose,\r\nwhether short or long, achieved recognition as worthy\r\nof serious critical consideration. In his study of Balzac,\r\nBrunetire recorded the significant fact that no novelist,\r\nwho was purely and simply a novelist, was elected to the\r\nFrench Academy in the first two centuries of its existence.\r\nAnd the same acute critic, in his \"History of Classical\r\nFrench Literature,\" pointed out that French novels were\r\nunder a cloud of suspicion even so far back as the days\r\nof Erasmus, in 1525. It was many scores of years thereafter\r\nbefore the self-appointed guardians of French\r\nliterature esteemed the novel highly enough to condescend\r\nto discuss it.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 30776 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Hamilton, Clayton Meeker \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 28, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Hamilton, Clayton Meeker,1881-1946 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219498664093,"sku":"gb-30776-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/30776.jpg?v=1671527803"},{"product_id":"devil-stories-an-anthology-gb-31754","title":"Devil Stories: An Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDevil Stories: An Anthology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf all the myths which have come down to us from\r\nthe East, and of all the creations of Western fancy and\r\nbelief, the Personality of Evil has had the strongest\r\nattraction for the mind of man. The Devil is the greatest\r\nenigma that has ever confronted the human intelligence.\r\nSo large a place has Satan taken in our\r\nimagination, and we might also say in our heart, that\r\nhis expulsion therefrom, no matter what philosophy may\r\nteach us, must for ever remain an impossibility. As a\r\ncharacter in imaginative literature Lucifer has not his\r\nequal in heaven above or on the earth beneath. In contrast\r\nto the idea of Good, which is the more exalted in\r\nproportion to its freedom from anthropomorphism, the\r\nidea of Evil owes to the presence of this element its\r\nchief value as a poetic theme. The discrowned archangel\r\nmay have been inferior to St. Michael in military\r\ntactics, but he certainly is his superior in matters\r\nliterary. The fair angelsall frankness and goodnessare\r\nbeyond our comprehension, but the fallen\r\nangels, with all their faults and sufferings, are kin to us.\nThere is a legend that the Devil has always had\r\nliterary aspirations. The German theosophist Jacob\r\nBhme relates that when Satan was asked to explain the\r\ncause of Gods enmity to him and his consequent downfall,\r\nhe replied: I wanted to be an author.\r\nWhether or not the Devil has ever written anything\r\nover his own signature, he has certainly helped others[xii]\r\ncompose their greatest works. It is a significant fact\r\nthat the greatest imaginations have discerned an attraction\r\nin Diabolus. What would the worlds literature be\r\nif from it we eliminated Dantes Divine Comedy, Calderns\r\nMarvellous Magician, Miltons Paradise Lost,\r\nGoethes Faust, Byrons Cain, Vignys Eloa, and Lermontovs\r\nDemon? Sorry indeed would have been the\r\nplight of literature without a judicious admixture of the\r\nDiabolical. Without the Devil there would simply be\r\nno literature, because without his intervention there\r\nwould be no plot, and without a plot the story of the\r\nworld would lose its interest. Even now, when the belief\r\nin the Devil has gone out of fashion, and when the\r\nvery mention of his name, far from causing men to cross\r\nthemselves, brings a smile to their faces, Satan has continued\r\nto be a puissant personage in the realm of letters.\r\nAs a matter of fact, Beelzebub has perhaps received his\r\ngreatest elaboration at the hands of writers who believed\r\nin him just as little as Shakespeare did in the\r\nghost of Hamlets father.\nCommenting on Anatole Frances The Revolt of the\r\nAngels, an American critic has recently written: It\r\nis difficult to rehabilitate Beelzebub, not because people\r\nare of one mind concerning Beelzebub, but because\r\nthey are of no mind at all. How this demon must\r\nhave laughed when he read these lines! Why, he needs\r\nno rehabilitation. The Devil has never been absent\r\nfrom the world of letters, just as he has never been\r\nmissing from the world of men. Since the days of\r\nJob, Satan has taken a deep interest in the affairs of the\r\nhuman race; and while most writers content themselves[xiii]\r\nwith recording his activities on this planet, there never\r\nhave been lacking men of sufficient courage to call upon\r\nthe prince of darkness in his proper dominions in order\r\nto bring back to us, for our instruction and edification,\r\na report of his work there. The most distinguished\r\npoet his infernal Highness has ever entertained at his\r\ncourt, it will be recalled, was Dante. The mark which\r\nthe scorching fires of hell left on Dantes face, was to\r\nhis contemporaries sufficient proof of the truth of his\r\nstory.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 31754 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Rudwin, Maximilian J.

On the approach to execution all is changed.\r\nThe artist must now step down, don his working clothes, and become the\r\nartisan. He now resolutely commits his airy conception, his delicate\r\nAriel, to the touch of matter; he must decide, almost in a breath, the\r\nscale, the style, the spirit, and the particularity of execution of his\r\nwhole design.\"\nThus Stevenson, in \"A Note on Realism,\" takes it for granted that the\r\nartist in pigments, stone, or words cannot reproduce until he first has\r\nproduced, cannot show a perfect work unless he paints, builds, or writes\r\nalong the lines of a perfected design.\nOne cannot dabble long at architecture or the graphic arts without\r\ngaining keen realization of the fact that conception in its elaborative\r\naspects is as much a part and phase of technique as the executive\r\nhandling of materials. But the art of literature, and, more narrowly,\r\nthe art of fiction, deal with materials other than those employed in the\r\nother arts; words, not colors or marble, nor yet sounds, are the\r\nresource of the story teller to precipitate his conception in enduring[14]\r\nform; and words are at once frank and mysterious things. Their primary\r\noffice is to forward the common business of life; each has some meaning\r\nin itself, more or less definite. It results that the writer of a story\r\nwho sets out with only the merest glimmering of what he means to do in\r\nmind can produce a superficially plausible work, a work not too\r\nobviously misshapen, a work that means something, at any rate, although\r\nhis failure to trace a design to guide his hand almost inevitably will\r\nprohibit his giving the basic conception most effective expression. And,\r\nsince almost any sequence of words has some significance, it also\r\nresults that the writer of fiction who works at haphazard may fail to\r\ndiscover that failure in his work as a whole is due to lack of planning\r\nrather than to defective execution. The mere grammatical coherence of a\r\nfictionally slipshod piece of work is a shield between its writer's\r\ninquiring eye and its essential defects.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 32092 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Dowst, Robert Saunders \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 22, 2010 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Dowst, Robert Saunders,1890-1959 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219752747165,"sku":"gb-32092-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/32092.jpg?v=1671532634"},{"product_id":"kertoelmia-ja-jutelmia-suomennoksia-ja-alkuperaisia-gb-34652","title":"Kertoelmia ja jutelmia: Suomennoksia ja alkuperäisiä","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKertoelmia ja jutelmia: Suomennoksia ja alkuperäisiä\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTmn jlkeen vietti hn vuoden ajan europalaista kuljeksiaelm,\r\nmatkusteli rautateill ja asui hotelleissa, nki kaikki mit\r\nmatkustavaisen tulee nhd, kyllstyi kaikkeen ja pyshtyi vihdoin\r\nKpenhaminaan, jossa hn vuokrasi itsellens komean asunnon, sisusti\r\nsen loistavasti ja otti palveliavaimon laittamaan itsellens ruo'an ja\r\npitmn huoneet siivossa.\nTm eli keski-ikinen nainen, sangen rivakka toimissansa, ja hn\r\nviihtyikin hyvin siin kodissa, vaan hn pelksi olla yksinns kotona\r\niltasilla, ja sangen usein tapahtui, ett hnen isntns vietti ulkona\r\nillat  ja vlist ytkin.\nHn oli jokseenkin tuikeannkinen; hnell oli laihat, punaisenruskeat\r\nkasvot, punaisenruskeat kihartelevat hiukset ja punaisenruskea hame\r\npllns, ja koska hn ei jokapivisiss tilaisuuksissa kyttnyt\r\nsellaista ylellisyyskappaletta, kuin valkoinen kaulus oli, ei voitu\r\nhnest koskaan tarkalleen nhd, miss kaula loppui ja miss hame\r\nalkoi.\n\"Koko minun elmni on ollut yksi ainoa kemu.

Having discussed the possibility of teaching the\r\nart of writing fiction with a good many different kinds of people, I\r\nknow quite intimately the opinions which are likely to be expressed\r\nabout this little book; and although I do not intend to burden the\r\nreader with an account of their respective merits, I do intend to make\r\nmy own position as clear as possible. First of all, I will examine the\r\nresults of a recent symposium on the general question.[1:A]\n[2]When asked as to the practicability of a School of Fiction, Messrs\r\nRobert Barr, G. Manville Fenn, M. Betham Edwards, Arthur Morrison, G. B.\r\nBurgin, C. J. C. Hyne, and \"Mr\" John Oliver Hobbes declared against it;\r\nMiss Mary L. Pendered and Miss Clementina Blackwith certain\r\nreservationsspoke in favour of such an institution. True, these names\r\ndo not include all representatives of the high places in Fiction, but\r\nthey are quite respectable enough for my purpose. It will be seen that\r\nthe vote is adverse to the object I have in view. Why? Well, here are a\r\nfew reasons. Mr Morrison affirms that writing as a trade is far too\r\npleasant an idea; John Oliver Hobbes is of opinion that it is impossible\r\nto teach anyone how to produce a work of imagination; and Mr G. B.\r\nBurgin asserts that genius is its own teachera remark characterised by\r\nunwitting modesty. Now, with the spirit of these convictions I am not\r\ndisposed to quarrel. This is an age which imagines that everything can\r\nbe crammed into the limits of an academical curriculum; and there are\r\nactually some people who would not hesitate to endow a chair [3]of \"Ideas\r\nand Imagination.\" We need to be reminded occasionally that there are\r\nincommunicable elements in all art.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 38887 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Anonymous \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 15, 2012 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Anonymous \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220758036637,"sku":"gb-38887-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/38887.jpg?v=1671559611"},{"product_id":"great-ghost-stories-gb-41170","title":"Great Ghost Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreat Ghost Stories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGhost stories lend themselves well to fiction. They leave the\r\nimagination entirely free. In ordinary fiction, especially of the\r\nrealistic type, we expect some concessions to be made to facts but when\r\nit comes to a ghost story we assign no limits to the imagination. This\r\nis because the supernatural world offers us no standards for curbing our\r\nfancy. Icarus is given impunity in that atmosphere and there is no sun\r\nto melt his wings. Whatever our wishes, we do not expect ghosts to be\r\nreal, and we are fancy free to invent or distort as we may. But in the\r\ntwilight of human knowledge it was not thus. The boundaries of the real\r\nand the unreal were undefined and the belief in the supernatural, while\r\nit allowed the imagination free reins, revealed little difference\r\nbetween its creations and the ideas men held of the actual world. In\r\nthis overlapping of the real and the imaginary, the ghost story arose\r\nand has never lost its interest for men, though the cold judgment of\r\nscience deprived the real thing of its terrors.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 41170 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: French, Joseph Lewis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 24, 2012 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"French, Joseph Lewis,1858-1936 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221281538205,"sku":"gb-41170-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/41170.jpg?v=1671589232"},{"product_id":"de-verrezen-gulliver-gb-42878","title":"De verrezen Gulliver;","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDe verrezen Gulliver;\r - behelzende de zonderlinge reizen en avonturen, van den baron van Munchhausen, In Rusland, Ysland, Turkije, Egipte, Gibraltar, in de Kaspische, Middellandsche en Atlantische Zeëen, en door het middenpunt van den berg Etna naa de Zuid-zee\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverduidelijke druk- en spelfouten in het origineel zijn gecorrigeerd; deze zijn voorzien van een\r\n  dunne rode stippellijn,\r\n  waarbij de Brontekst via een zwevende pop-up beschikbaar is.\nErrata zijn in de tekst gecorrigeerd; deze zijn voorzien van een\r\n  dunne grijze stippellijn.\nVoor de samenstelling van dit e-boek dienden de scans van\r\n   Early Dutch Books Online als bron.\r\n   Als bron daarvoor diende het exemplaar uit de Universiteitsbibliotheek van Amsterdam.\nHet verhaal van zijne reis naa de MAAN en\r\n  de HONDSTAR, en de Burgerlijke en Staatkundige\r\n  gesteldheid aldaar; met vele bijzonderheden\r\n  van Wezens met kookende maagen,\r\n  die men hier gewoon is Menschen te noemen, enz. enz.\n't Werkje, dat wij den Nederlander,\r\n  in zijne moedertale, thands aanbieden,\r\n  is oorspronglijk in 't Engelsch geschreven,\r\n  en in Engeland met zoo veel\r\n  graagte en goedkeuringe ontvangen, dat\r\n  het binnen weinige dagen driemaal herdrukt\r\n  moest worden.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 42878 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Raspe, Rudolf Erich \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 4, 2013 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: Dutch \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Raspe, Rudolf Erich,1737-1794 \/ eBook \/ Dutch","offer_id":43221385085085,"sku":"gb-42878-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/42878.jpg?v=1671595476"},{"product_id":"tales-of-our-coast-gb-45198","title":"Tales of Our Coast","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTales of Our Coast\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crying at our little window raised me out of a sound sleep, for I\r\nhad been out seeing the Myreside lasses late the night before, and was\r\nfar from being wake-rife at two by the clock on a February morning.\nIt was the first time the summons had come to me, for I was then but\r\nyoung.

No\r\nattribute or property of metal can be mentioned,hardness,\r\nbrittleness, malleability, magnetism, lustre,but some\r\nacknowledged metal can be found which lacks it. So when\r\nwe come to define what is classic in literature, we find not a\r\nsingle quality that may not be dispensed with, or that is not\r\nlacking in some universally accepted and canonized piece of\r\ncomposition. Is age a requisite? Consider Mr. Lincoln's\r\nspeech at Gettysburg, which was recognized as classic and\r\nimmortal the hour it was flashed from the wires and printed\r\nor misprinted in the five thousand journals of the land. Is\r\nperfection of plot or unity of design necessary? \"David Copperfield\"\r\ncan hardly be said to have a plot, and the \"Merchant\r\nof Venice\" is notably lacking in unity. Is detailed\r\ngrammatical and idiomatic correctness indispensable? Then\r\nhow few are the absolute masters of English prose! It is\r\nwith some feeling of embarrassment at this lack of any perfect\r\ntest, that I have gathered the contents of these volumes and\r\nventured to call them Little Classics. And yet the genuine\r\nlovers of literature, setting aside all attempt at conscious definition,\r\nand following only their artistic instincts, will not seriously\r\ndiffer in their opinion as to what deserves the name of\r\nclassic and bears the warrant of immortality.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 46088 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Johnson, Rossiter \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 24, 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Johnson, Rossiter, 1840-1931 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Johnson, Rossiter,1840-1931 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221631008925,"sku":"gb-46088-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/46088.jpg?v=1671608504"},{"product_id":"the-fiction-factory-gb-47455","title":"The Fiction Factory","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Fiction Factory\r - Being the experience of a writer who, for twenty-two years, has kept a story-mill grinding successfully\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was in 1893 that John Milton Edwards (who sets\r\nhis hand to this book of experiences and prefers using\r\nthe third person to overworking the egotistical pronoun)\r\nturned wholly to his pen as a means of livelihood.

Spare hours alone were spent in his\r\nFiction Factory. In the summer of 1893, however, when\r\nhis evening and Sunday work brought returns that\r\ndwarfed his salary as paymaster, he had a heart to\r\nheart talk with Mrs. John Milton Edwards, and, as a\r\nresult, the paymaster-crutch was dropped by the wayside.\r\nThis came to pass not without many fears and\r\nanxieties, and later there arrived gray days when the literary\r\npace became unsteady and John Milton turned\r\nwistful eyes backward in the direction of his discarded\r\ncrutch.

He\r\nwas of an ancient Huguenot family, and had once been wealthy; but a\r\nseries of misfortunes had reduced him to want. To avoid the\r\nmortification consequent upon his disasters, he left New Orleans, the\r\ncity of his forefathers, and took up his residence at Sullivan's\r\nIsland, near Charleston, South Carolina.\nThis island is a very singular one. It consists of little else than the\r\nsea-sand, and is about three miles long. Its breadth at no point\r\nexceeds a quarter of a mile. It is separated from the mainland by a\r\nscarcely perceptible creek oozing its way through a wilderness of reeds\r\nand slime, a favorite resort of the marsh-hen. The vegetation, as might\r\nbe supposed, is scant, or at least dwarfish. No trees of any magnitude\r\nare to be seen. Near the western extremity, where Fort Moultrie stands,\r\nand where are some miserable frame buildings, tenanted, during summer,\r\nby the fugitives from Charleston dust and fever, may be found, indeed,\r\nthe bristly palmetto; but the whole island, with the exception of this\r\nwestern point, and a line of hard, white beach on the sea-coast, is\r\ncovered with a dense undergrowth of the sweet myrtle, so much prized by\r\nthe horticulturists of England. The shrub here often attains the height\r\nof fifteen or twenty feet, and forms an almost impenetrable coppice,\r\nburdening the air with its fragrance.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 48696 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Johnson, Rossiter \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 13, 2015 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Johnson, Rossiter, 1840-1931 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Johnson, Rossiter,1840-1931 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221823324317,"sku":"gb-48696-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/48696.jpg?v=1671618262"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/fiction-general.oembed","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
