The Two Admirals: A Tale

The Two Admirals is an 1842 nautical fiction novel by James Fenimore Cooper. The novel was written after the Leatherstocking Tales novel The Deerslayer. Set during the 18th century and exploring the British Royal Navy, Cooper wrote the novel out of encouragement of his English publisher, who recommended writing another sea novel. Cooper had originally intended to write a novel where ships were the main characters, though eventually decided not to. The novels is one of three novels which Cooper would revise for editions following their first printing, the other two being The Pathfinder and Deerslayer.

So Big

So Big is a 1924 novel written by Edna Ferber. The book was inspired by the life of Antje Paarlberg in the Dutch community of South Holland, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. It won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1925. The story follows the life of a young woman, Selina Peake De Jong, who decides to be a school teacher in farming country. During her stay on the Pool family farm, she encourages the young Roelf Pool to follow his interests, which include art. Upon his mother's death, Roelf runs away to France. Meanwhile, Selina marries a Dutch farmer named Pervus. They have a child together, Dirk, whom she nicknames "So Big," from the common question and answer "How big is baby? " "So-o-o-o big!". Pervus becomes ill and dies, and Selina is forced to take over working on the farm to give Dirk a future. As Dirk gets older, he works as an architect but is more interested in making money than creating buildings and becomes a stock broker, much to his mother's disappointment. His love interest, Dallas O'Mara, an acclaimed artist, echoes this sentiment by trying to convince Dirk that there is more to life than money. Much later in life, Selina is visited by Roelf Pool, who has since become a famous sculptor. Dirk grows very distressed when, after visiting his mother's farm, he realizes that Dallas and Roelf love each other and he cannot compete with the artistically minded sculptor. In the end, Dirk comes to appreciate the wisdom of his mother, who always valued aesthetics and beauty even as she scraped out a living in a stern Dutch community. Ultimately, Dirk is left alone in his sumptuous apartment, saddened by his abandonment of artistic values.

Jack Tier or the Florida Reef

This work has already appeared in Graham's Magazine, under the title of "Rose Budd." The change of name is solely the act of the author, and arises from a conviction that the appellation given in this publication is more appropriate than the one laid aside. The necessity of writing to a name, instead of getting it from the incidents of the book itself, has been the cause of this departure from the ordinary rules. When this book was commenced, it was generally supposed that the Mexican war would end, after a few months of hostilities. Such was never the opinion of the writer. He has ever looked forward to a protracted struggle; and, now that Congress has begun to interfere, sees as little probability of its termination, as on the day it commenced. Whence honourable gentlemen have derived their notions of the constitution, when they advance the doctrine that Congress is an American Aulic council, empowered to encumber the movements of armies, and, as old Blucher expressed it in reference to the diplomacy of Europe, "to spoil with the pen the work achieved by the sword," it is difficult to say more than this, that they do not get them from the constitution itself. It has generally been supposed that the present executive was created in order to avoid the very evils of a distracted and divided council, which this new construction has a direct tendency to revive. But a presidential election has ever proved, and probably will ever prove, stronger than any written fundamental law.

Typhoon

Joseph Conrad’s Typhoon follows the stoic and seemingly ordinary Captain MacWhirr as he leads the steamer Nan-Shan, carrying hundreds of Chinese passengers, into the heart of a violent storm. As the signs of an approaching typhoon grow, tension mounts among the crew, exposing the vulnerability of humans before nature’s force. In the face of danger, MacWhirr demonstrates calm and decisive leadership, guiding the ship through chaos. Conrad vividly portrays both the merciless power of the sea and the quiet resilience of those who confront it. This novella reveals how an unremarkable man can rise to greatness in extraordinary circumstances.

The Monikins

Although my ancestor was much too wise to refuse to look back upon his origin in a worldly point of view, he never threw his retrospective glances so far as to reach the sublime mystery of his moral existence; and while his thoughts might be said to be ever on the stretch to attain glimpses into the future, they were by far too earthly to extend beyond any other settling day than those which were regulated by the ordinances of the stock exchange. With him, to be born was but the commencement of a speculation, and to die was to determine the general balance of profit and loss. A man who had so rarely meditated on the grave changes of mortality, therefore, was consequently so much the less prepared to gaze upon the visible solemnities of a death-bed. Although he had never truly loved my mother, for love was a sentiment much too pure and elevated for one whose imagination dwelt habitually on the beauties of the stock-books, he had ever been kind to her, and of late he was even much disposed, as has already been stated, to contribute as much to her temporal comforts as comported with his pursuits and habits. On the other hand, the quiet temperament of my mother required some more exciting cause than the affections of her husband, to quicken those germs of deep, placid, womanly love, that certainly lay dormant in her heart, like seed withering with the ungenial cold of winter.

Homeward Bound, Or, The Chase: A Tale of the Sea

In "Homeward Bound; Or, the Chase: A Tale of the Sea," James Fenimore Cooper crafts a gripping maritime narrative that explores themes of adventure, responsibility, and human connection against the backdrop of early 19th-century America. Cooper's literary style blends rich descriptions and nautical terminology, reflecting his deep-seated appreciation for the sea and its inherent dangers. This novel, the second in Cooper's Sea Tales series, furthers his exploration of American identity through the lens of maritime life, presenting a vivid portrayal of the perilous balance between civilization and nature. James Fenimore Cooper, a celebrated American novelist and a pioneer in the development of the historical fiction genre, drew upon his own experiences at sea and his life in the burgeoning United States to inform his storytelling. His upbringing in the frontier life and passionate engagement with America's seafaring culture significantly shaped his literary output, reflecting both the triumphs and tribulations of the human spirit as it interacts with the untamed natural world. I highly recommend "Homeward Bound" to readers who appreciate intricately woven tales of adventure that offer profound insights into the human experience. Cooper's storytelling not only entertains but also invites reflection on the complex relationship between man and the environment.

Bring Up the Bodies

Origin and Ellipsis in the Writing of Hilary Mantel provokes a re-engagement with Derrida’s thinking in contemporary literature, with particular emphasis on the philosopher’s preoccupation with the process of writing. This is the first book-length study of Mantel’s writing, not just in terms of Derrida’s thought, but through any critical perspective or lens to date.

Pat O'Malley, héros de la Grande Guerre, y a créé et développé, avec l'aide de Nick, son ami et associé, un petit aéroport. Père de quatre filles et d'un garçon, Pat rêve de voir ce dernier prendre la relève. Mais c'est à Cassie sa cadette qu'il a transmis sa passion. Celle-ci, en effet, n'a qu'une idée en tête : devenir aviatrice. Or, pour Pat, il est inconcevable qu'elle puisse vouloir autre chose que se marier et avoir des enfants. Passant outre l'interdiction paternelle, Cassie aidée par Nick lui apprend à piloter en cachette, va remporter un concours de voltige aérienne. Remarquée à cette occasion par Desmond Williams, beau et riche propriétaire de l'une des plus grosses compagnies d'aviation du pays, qui lui propose un mirifique contrat, elle le suit à Los Angeles. Célèbre et adulée, devenue pilote vedette de superbes prototypes, Cassie a tout pour être heureuse. Mais l'est-elle vraiment? Cette vie, mondaine et superficielle, est-elle ce qu'elle recherche? Et Desmond est-il celui qu'elle attend ?

Sous l'acacia d'Occident

A cinquante ans, après avoir conduit l'Egypte à une éclatante prospérité, Ramsès pourrait aspire à la sérénité de ses vieux jours.. Mais son fabuleux destin le lui interdit encore : il faut gouverner. Ramsès tente surtout de préserver la paix durement acquise, en dépit des obstacles : l'empereur des Hittites le somme d'épouser sa fille sous peine d'une nouvelle guerre, les Libyens avides de revanche se révoltent... Ramsès est toujours le faiseur de miracles, le Fils de la lumière qui sait modifier le climat, transformer l'ennemi en allier et se concilier les puissances divines. Mais le fil de ses quarante dernières années de règne, il ne peut empêcher le temps de lui dérober un à un ses amis de toujours, le laissant chaque fois un peu plus seul pour affronter les adversaires de l'Egypte. Et quand vient l'heure de la vieillesse, son ultime adversaire, Ramsès, va s'asseoir à l'ombre de l'acacia d'Occident, pour son dernier voyage. Alors seulement, le scribe Améni, qui a fidèlement servi son souverain pendant soixante sept années de règne, peut poser son pinceau.

El Honor del Silencio

Una vibrante narración, a veces trágica, a veces enternecedora, sobre una joven japonesa que estudia en California a principios de los años cuarenta. Atrapada entre la pasión por la modernidad occidental de su padre, un profesor de Kioto, y el arraigado tradicionalismo de su madre, la joven Hiroko vive inmersa en profundas contradicciones desde su llegada a Estados Unidos, llegando a plantearse incluso regresar a su querido Japón natal. Su malestar se agudiza aún más tras el ataque a Pearl Harbor: de la noche a la mañana toda la colonia japonesa se convierte en enemiga del país donde reside y sufre la hostilidad y los prejuicios de los norteamericanos. Solamente la cálida relación que Hiroko mantiene con Peter Jenkins, un profesor universitario, introduce un rayo de esperanza en su negro horizonte, pero ni siquiera el amor puede sustraerse a los efectos de la guerra. Con incuestionable sensibilidad, la autora crea un conmovedor retrato de una familia dividida y unos personajes desgarrados por la injusticia humana, y presenta una perspicaz crítica de uno de los episodios más vergonzosos de la historia reciente de Estados Unidos.

Inés del alma mía

Nacida en España, y proveniente de una familia pobre, Inés Suárez sobrevive a diario trabajando como costurera. Es el siglo dieciséis, y la conquista de América está apenas comenzando. Cuando un día el esposo de Inés desaparece rumbo al Nuevo Mundo, ella aprovecha para partir en busca de él y escapar de la vida claustrofóbica que lleva en su tierra natal. Tras el accidentado viaje que la lleva hasta Perú, Inés se entera de que su esposo ha muerto en una batalla. Sin embargo, muy pronto da inicio a una apasionada relación amorosa con el hombre que cambiará su vida por completo: Pedro de Validivia, el valiente héroe de guerra y mariscal de Francisco Pizarro. Valdivia sueña con triunfar donde otros españoles han fracasado, llevando a cabo la conquista de Chile. Aunque se dice que en aquellas tierras no hay oro y que los guerreros son feroces, esto inspira a Valdivia aun más ya que lo que busca es el honor y la gloria. Juntos, los dos amantes fundarán la ciudad de Santiago y librarán una guerra sangrienta contra los indígenas chilenos en una lucha que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.

Caddie Woodlawn

An illustrated edition of the Newberry Medal–winning Caddie Woodlawn, which has been captivating young readers since 1935. Caddie Woodlawn is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew and plow than bake, and tries to beat her brother's dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with Indians, who scare most of the neighbors—neighbors who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all. Caddie is brave, and her story is special because it's based on the life and memories of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn. Her spirit and sense of fun have made this book a classic that readers have taken to their hearts for more than seventy years.

Like no other masterpiece of historical fiction, Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II is the great novel of America's Greatest Generation. Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events, as well as all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II, as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom. The Winds of War and its sequel War and Remembrance stand as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers.

Le Temple des Millions d'Années

Pour Ramsès, le Fils de la lumière, l'heure du couronnement est arrivée. Il a tous les atouts pour devenir un grand pharaon. L'amour de Néfertari, la grande épouse royale, et celui de sa mère, le réseau d'amitiés solides tissé dans son adolescence, dont celle de l'Hébreu Moïse, et l'aptitude de Ramsès à jauger les hommes l'aideront à assumer ses lourdes fonctions. Encore faut-il que le jeune pharaon conserve son trône. Car, dans l'ombre, les complots se multiplient. Ramsès parviendra-t-il à déjouer les pièges dressés par son frère aîné, à conjurer la magie noire d'un mystérieux sorcier et à prévenir les intrigues des Hittites ? Les embûches s'accumulent, les parades s'épuisent. Pour vaincre l'adversaire, visible et invisible, le couple royal choisit la seule voie possible : bâtir un Temple des millions d'années.

Eaters of the Dead

From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes an epic tale of unspeakable horror. It is 922 A.D. The refined Arab courtier Ibn Fadlan is accompanying a party of Viking warriors back to their home. He is appalled by their customs—the gratuitous sexuality of their women, their disregard for cleanliness, and their cold-blooded sacrifices. As they enter the frozen, forbidden landscape of the North—where the day’s length does not equal the night’s, where after sunset the sky burns in streaks of color—Fadlan soon discovers that he has been unwillingly enlisted to combat the terrors in the night that come to slaughter the Vikings, the monsters of the mist that devour human flesh. But just how he will do it, Fadlan has no idea.

The Shelters of Stone

The Shelters of Stone opens as Ayla and Jondalar, along with their animal friends, Wolf, Whinney, and Racer, complete their epic journey across Europe and are greeted by Jondalar’s people: the Zelandonii. The people of the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii fascinate Ayla. Their clothes, customs, artifacts, even their homes—formed in great cliffs of vertical limestone—are a source of wonder to her. And in the woman Zelandoni, the spiritual leader of the Ninth Cave (and the one who initiated Jondalar into the Gift of Pleasure), she meets a fellow healer with whom to share her knowledge and skills. But as Ayla and Jondalar prepare for the formal mating at the Summer Meeting, there are difficulties. Not all the Zelandonii are welcoming. Some fear Ayla’s unfamiliar ways and abhor her relationship with those they call flatheads and she calls Clan. Some even oppose her mating with Jondalar, and make their displeasure known. Ayla has to call on all her skills, intelligence, knowledge, and instincts to find her way in this complicated society, to prepare for the birth of her child, and to decide whether she will accept new challenges and play a significant role in the destiny of the Zelandonii. Jean Auel is at her very best in this superbly textured creation of a prehistoric society. The Shelters of Stone is a sweeping story of love and danger, with all the wonderful detail—based on meticulous research— that makes her novels unique. It is a triumphant continuation of the Earth’s Children® saga that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear. And it includes an amazing rhythmic poem that describes the birth of Earth’s Children and plays its own role in the narrative of The Shelters of Stone. This eBook includes the full text of the novel plus the following additional content: • An Earth’s Children® series sampler including free chapters from the other books in Jean M. Auel’s bestselling series • A Q&A with the author about the Earth’s Children® series

King Rat

The time is World War II. The place is a brutal prison camp deep in Japanese-occupied territory. Here, within the seething mass of humanity, one man, an American corporal, seeks dominance over both captives and captors alike. His weapons are human courage, unblinking understanding of human weaknesses, and total willingness to exploit every opportunity to enlarge his power and corrupt or destroy anyone who stands in his path. From the Paperback edition.

Le fils de la lumière

Ramsès. Son nom incarne l'éclat et la puissance de la civilisation pharaonique. Fils du soleil et du dieu vivant, il a régné pendant plus de soixante ans et porté l'Egypte à un degré de grandeur jamais atteint dans l'histoire. Pour l'heure, l'enfant-dieu n'a que quatorze ans. Comment succédera-t-il au pharaon Séthi, son père ? Quelles seront les étapes surprenantes de son initiation secrète ? Saura-t-il choisir entre Iset la Belle et la mystérieuse Néfertari ? Dans sa marche vers le trône, Ramsès ne peut compter que sur de rares amis : Améni, le scribe, Sétaou, le charmeur de serpents, et Moïse, son condisciple hébreu. Romancier magique, Christian jacq sort l'Antiquité des manuels scolaires, et offre au lecteur un immense territoire de rêve, d'action et de poésie. La reconstitution grandiose d'un règne fastueux. Une entreprise romanesque sans précédent.

The Bonesetter's Daughter

A mother and daughter find what they share in their bones in this compelling novel from the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Backyard Bird Chronicles. Ruth Young and her widowed mother have always had a difficult relationship. But when she discovers writings that vividly describe her mother’s tumultuous life growing up in China, Ruth discovers a side of LuLing that she never knew existed. Transported to a backwoods village known as Immortal Heart, Ruth learns of secrets passed along by a mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World; and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal. Within the calligraphied pages awaits the truth about a mother's heart, secrets she cannot tell her daughter, yet hopes she will never forget... Conjuring the pain of broken dreams and the power of myths, The Bonesetter’s Daughter is an excavation of the human spirit: the past, its deepest wounds, its most profound hopes.

Liebeszauber

The two fields of contemporary Native American literature and culture exist in the tension between two literary traditions: the Native oral and literary tradition and the modern Western mainstream literary influence. In her North Dakota quartet Love Medicine (1984), The Beet Queen (1986), Tracks (1988), The Bingo Palace (1994), Native American mixedblood author, Louise Erdrich (b. 1954) exemplifies where and how these traditions meet and interact. A postmodern reading of the quartet shows that Native American authors and literary critics alike need not be afraid to tread into postmodernism, since an interpretation from this perspective opens up the possibility of freeing Native American literature from the limiting label of "ethnic or minority literature" and of establishing it as a vital part of American literature. This postmodern interpretation of Louise Erdrich's quartet offers a discussion of the theoretical issues involved in the context of ethnic writing and its relation to postmodernism, as well as an analysis of her intricate narrative strategies, in particular, her use of multiple perspectives and of intertextual techniques. The main part of the interpretation consists of a reading of postmodern concepts such as magical realism, carnivalesque humor, the relationship between reader and text, gender roles and sexual identities, history and textuality, the trickster figure, and games and chance as can be found in Louise Erdrich's North Dakota quartet.

The Alienist

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A TNT ORIGINAL SERIES • “A first-rate tale of crime and punishment that will keep readers guessing until the final pages.”—Entertainment Weekly “Caleb Carr’s rich period thriller takes us back to the moment in history when the modern idea of the serial killer became available to us.”—The Detroit News When The Alienist was first published in 1994, it was a major phenomenon, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list, receiving critical acclaim, and selling millions of copies. This modern classic continues to be a touchstone of historical suspense fiction for readers everywhere. The year is 1896. The city is New York. Newspaper reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned by his friend Dr. Laszlo Kreizler—a psychologist, or “alienist”—to view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge. From there the two embark on a revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before their hunt is over. Fast-paced and riveting, infused with historical detail, The Alienist conjures up Gilded Age New York, with its tenements and mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. It is an age in which questioning society’s belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and fatal consequences. Praise for The Alienist “[A] delicious premise . . . Its settings and characterizations are much more sophisticated than the run-of-the-mill thrillers that line the shelves in bookstores.”—The Washington Post Book World “Mesmerizing.”—Detroit Free Press “The method of the hunt and the disparate team of hunters lift the tale beyond the level of a good thriller—way beyond. . . . A remarkable combination of historical novel and psychological thriller.”—The Buffalo News “Engrossing.”—Newsweek “Gripping, atmospheric . . . intelligent and entertaining.”—USA Today “A high-spirited, charged-up and unfailingly smart thriller.”—Los Angeles Times “Keeps readers turning pages well past their bedtime.”—San Francisco Chronicle

World Without End

On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed. As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day. Ken Follett’s masterful epic The Pillars of the Earth enchanted millions of readers with its compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the building of a cathedral. Now World Without End takes readers back to medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical change. ‘Follett’s storytelling skills keep you compulsively turning the pages to the satisfactory ending of good triumphant over evil’ Daily Mail
