His pale grey eyes shone and twinkled, and\r\nhis usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burnt brightly,\r\nand the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver\r\ncaught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs,\r\nbeing his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat\r\nupon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere, when thought\r\nruns gracefully free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in\r\nthis waymarking the points with a lean forefingeras we sat\r\nand lazily admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it)\r\nand his fecundity.\r\n\n\r\nYou must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or\r\ntwo ideas that are almost universally accepted.

I dedicate it to all who have heart enough,\r\n      brain enough, and soul enough to understand it.\r\n    \n\r\n      What do I mean by a Hill-top Novel? Well, of late we have been flooded\r\n      with stories of evil tendencies: a Hill-top Novel is one which raises a\r\n      protest in favour of purity.\r\n    \n\r\n      Why have not novelists raised the protest earlier? For this reason.\r\n      Hitherto, owing to the stern necessity laid upon the modern seer for\r\n      earning his bread, and, incidentally, for finding a publisher to assist\r\n      him in promulgating his prophetic opinions, it has seldom happened that\r\n      writers of exceptional aims have been able to proclaim to the world at\r\n      large the things which they conceived to be best worth their telling it.\r\n      Especially has this been the case in the province of fiction. Let me\r\n      explain the situation. Most novels nowadays have to run as serials through\r\n      magazines or newspapers; and the editors of these periodicals are timid to\r\n      a degree which outsiders would hardly believe with regard to the fiction\r\n      they admit into their pages. Endless spells surround them. This story or\r\n      episode would annoy their Catholic readers; that one would repel their\r\n      Wesleyan Methodist subscribers; such an incident is unfit for the perusal\r\n      of the young person; such another would drive away the offended British\r\n      matron. I do not myself believe there is any real ground for this\r\n      excessive and, to be quite frank, somewhat ridiculous timidity. Incredible\r\n      as it may seem to the ordinary editor, I am of opinion that it would be\r\n      possible to tell the truth, and yet preserve the circulation. A\r\n      first-class journal does not really suffer because two or three formalists\r\n      or two or three bigots among its thousands of subscribers give it up for\r\n      six weeks in a pet of ill-temperand then take it on again. Still,\r\n      the effect remains: it is almost impossible to get a novel printed in an\r\n      English journal unless it is warranted to contain nothing at all to which\r\n      anybody, however narrow, could possibly object, on any grounds whatever,\r\n      religious, political, social, moral, or aesthetic. The romance that\r\n      appeals to the average editor must say or hint at nothing at all that is\r\n      not universally believed and received by everybody everywhere in this\r\n      realm of Britain. But literature, as Thomas Hardy says with truth, is\r\n      mainly the expression of souls in revolt. Hence the antagonism between\r\n      literature and journalism.\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: 4340 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Allen, Grant \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 1, 2003 \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":"Allen, Grant,1848-1899 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212413304989,"sku":"gb-4340-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4340_df1306e3-b556-4f46-8cd1-9004799ebc3f.jpg?v=1671277848"},{"product_id":"the-time-machine-gb-6620","title":"The Time Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\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: 6620 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Wells, H.

It is one of the most ambitious and least satisfactory of my\r\n      books, and I have taken the opportunity afforded by this reprinting to\r\n      make a number of excisions and alterations. Like most of my earlier work,\r\n      it was written under considerable pressure; there are marks of haste not\r\n      only in the writing of the latter part, but in the very construction of\r\n      the story. Except for certain streaks of a slovenliness which seems to be\r\n      an almost unavoidable defect in me, there is little to be ashamed of in\r\n      the writing of the opening portion; but it will be fairly manifest to the\r\n      critic that instead of being put aside and thought over through a\r\n      leisurely interlude, the ill-conceived latter part was pushed to its end.\r\n      I was at that time overworked, and badly in need of a holiday. In addition\r\n      to various necessary journalistic tasks, I had in hand another book, Love\r\n      and Mr. Lewisham, which had taken a very much stronger hold upon my\r\n      affections than this present story. My circumstances demanded that one or\r\n      other should be finished before I took any rest, and so I wound up the\r\n      Sleeper sufficiently to make it a marketable work, hoping to be able to\r\n      revise it before the book printers at any rate got hold of it. But fortune\r\n      was against me. I came back to England from Italy only to fall dangerously\r\n      ill, and I still remember the impotent rage and strain of my attempt to\r\n      put some sort of finish to my story of Mr. Lewisham, with my temperature\r\n      at a hundred and two. I couldnt endure the thought of leaving that\r\n      book a fragment. I did afterwards contrive to save it from the\r\n      consequences of that febrile spurtLove and Mr. Lewisham is\r\n      indeed one of my most carefully balanced booksbut the Sleeper\r\n      escaped me.\r\n    \n\r\n      It is twelve years now since the Sleeper was written, and that young man\r\n      of thirty-one is already too remote for me to attempt any very drastic\r\n      reconstruction of his work. I have played now merely the part of an\r\n      editorial elder brother: cut out relentlessly a number of long tiresome\r\n      passages that showed all too plainly the fagged, toiling brain, the heavy\r\n      sluggish driven pen, and straightened out certain indecisions at\r\n      the end. Except for that, I have done no more than hack here and there at\r\n      clumsy phrases and repetitions. The worst thing in the earlier version,\r\n      and the thing that rankled most in my mind, was the treatment of the\r\n      relations of Helen Wotton and Graham. Haste in art is almost always\r\n      vulgarisation, and I slipped into the obvious vulgarity of making what the\r\n      newspaper syndicates call a love interest out of Helen.\r\n      There was even a clumsy intimation that instead of going up in the\r\n      flying-machine to fight, Graham might have given in to Ostrog, and married\r\n      Helen. I have now removed the suggestion of these uncanny connubialities.\r\n      Not the slightest intimation of any sexual interest could in truth have\r\n      arisen between these two. They loved and kissed one another, but as a girl\r\n      and her heroic grandfather might love, and in a crisis kiss. I have found\r\n      it possible, without any very serious disarrangement, to clear all that\r\n      objectionable stuff out of the story, and so a little ease my conscience\r\n      on the score of this ungainly lapse. I have also, with a few strokes of\r\n      the pen, eliminated certain dishonest and regrettable suggestions that the\r\n      People beat Ostrog. My Graham dies, as all his kind must die, with no\r\n      certainty of either victory or defeat.\r\n    \n\r\n      Who will winOstrog or the People? A thousand years hence that will\r\n      still be just the open question we leave to-day.\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: 12163 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Wells, H.

I\r\narrogated a small viewing machine,\r\nand scanned the centuries\r\nof the past in the hope that a\r\nsanctuary might reveal itself to\r\nmy aching eyes. Kwel tediety\r\nthat was! Back, back I went\r\nthrough the ages. Back to the\r\nCentury of the Dog, back to the\r\nAge of the Crippled Men. I\r\nfound no time better than my\r\nown. Back and back I peered,\r\nback as far as the Numbered\r\nYears. The Twenty-Eighth Century\r\nwas boredom unendurable,\r\nthe Twenty-Sixth a morass of\r\ndullness. Twenty-Fifth, Twenty-Fourthwherever\r\nI looked, tediety\r\nwas what I found.\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: 22559 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Pohl, Frederik \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 10, 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrator\u003c\/b\u003e: Emshwiller, Ed, 1925-1990 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Pohl, Frederik,1919-2013 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218057167005,"sku":"gb-22559-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/22559.jpg?v=1671465078"},{"product_id":"no-great-magic-gb-23162","title":"No Great Magic","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo Great Magic\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI dipped through the filmy curtain into the boys' half of the dressing\r\nroom and there was Sid sitting at the star's dressing table in his\r\nthreadbare yellowed undershirt, the lucky one, not making up yet but\r\nstaring sternly at himself in the bulb-framed mirror and[151]\r\nexperimentally working his features a little, as actors will, and\r\nkneading the stubble on his fat chin.\n[152]I said to him quietly, \"Siddy, what are we putting on tonight?

No historical fact is, however, better established than\r\nthat till nearly the end of the nineteenth century it was the general\r\nbelief that the ancient industrial system, with all its shocking\r\nsocial consequences, was destined to last, with possibly a little\r\npatching, to the end of time. How strange and wellnigh incredible does\r\nit seem that so prodigious a moral and material transformation as has\r\ntaken place since then could have been accomplished in so brief an\r\ninterval[Pg xix]? The readiness with which men accustom themselves, as\r\nmatters of course, to improvements in their condition, which, when\r\nanticipated, seemed to leave nothing more to be desired, could not be\r\nmore strikingly illustrated. What reflection could be better\r\ncalculated to moderate the enthusiasm of reformers who count for their\r\nreward on the lively gratitude of future ages!\nThe object of this volume is to assist persons who, while desiring to\r\ngain a more definite idea of the social contrasts between the\r\nnineteenth and twentieth centuries, are daunted by the formal aspect\r\nof the histories which treat the subject. Warned by a teacher's\r\nexperience that learning is accounted a weariness to the flesh, the\r\nauthor has sought to alleviate the instructive quality of the book by\r\ncasting it in the form of a romantic narrative, which he would be glad\r\nto fancy not wholly devoid of interest on its own account.\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: 25439 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bellamy, Edward \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 12, 2008 \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":"Bellamy, Edward,1850-1898 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218717933725,"sku":"gb-25439-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/25439.jpg?v=1671502221"},{"product_id":"the-defiant-agents-gb-25550","title":"The Defiant Agents","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Defiant Agents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopyright  1962 by Andre Norton\r\nAll rights reserved.
