Description wiki: Five Children and It is a childrens novel by English author E. Nesbit. It was originally published in 1902 in the Strand Magazine under the general title The Psammead, or the Gifts, with a segment appearing each month from April to December. The stories were then expanded into a novel which was published the same year. It is the first volume of a trilogy that includes The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904) and The Story of the Amulet (1906). The book has never been out of print since its initial publication.
Description Good Reads: The five children find a cantankerous sand fairy, a psammead, in a gravel pit. Every day It will grant each of them a wish that lasts until sunset, often with disastrous consequences. Never out of print since 1902. The Introduction to this edition examines Nesbits life and her reading, showing the change in childrens literature from Victorian times.
Description Penquin: It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson s recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin s own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische s hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series debuted with an A for Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice, a B for Charlotte Br nte s Jane Eyre, and a C for Willa Cather s My ntonia. It continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or to showcase on your own shelves. N is for Nesbit. While exploring the environs of their summer home, five brothers and sisters find a Psammead, or Sand-fairy, in a nearby gravel pit: Its eyes were on long horns like a snail s eyes, and it could move them in and out like telescopes; it had ears like a bat s ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider s and covered with thick soft fur; its legs and arms were furry too, and it had hands and feet like a monkey s. The Psammead is magical and, every day, the ancient and irritable creature grants each of them a wish that lasts until sunset. Soon they find their wishes never seem to turn out right and often have unexpected and humorous consequences. And when an accidental wish goes terribly wrong, the children learn that magic, like life, can be as complicated as it is exciting. Five Children and It continues to be one of our most enduring stories, as fantastical and as it is true to the wonders of childhood.

Description wiki: The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is a childrens book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter and first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in August 1903. The story is about an impertinent red squirrel named Nutkin and his narrow escape from an owl called Old Brown. The book followed Potters hugely successful The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and was an instant hit. The now-familiar endpapers of the Peter Rabbit series were introduced in the book. Squirrel Nutkin had its origins in a story and picture letter Potter sent Norah Moore, the daughter of her former governess, Annie Carter Moore. The background illustrations were modelled on Derwentwater and St. Herberts Island in the Lake District. One commentator has likened Squirrel Nutkins impertinent behaviour to that of the rebellious working-class of Potters own day, and another commentator has noted the tales similarities to pourquoi tales and folk tales in its explanations of Squirrel Nutkins short tail and characteristics of squirrel behaviour. An abbreviated version of the tale appeared as a segment in the 1971 ballet film, The Tales of Beatrix Potter.
Description Good Reads: Beatrix Potters famous tale of a naughty squirrel who loses his tail is as popular today as it was when it was first published over 100 years ago. Join Nutkin, his brother Twinkleberry and all his cousins as they make their way over to Owl Island to gather nuts. See what happens when Old Brown, the terrifying owl guardian of the island decides he has had enough of silly Nutkins cheekiness! Ouch!! Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the worlds best-loved childrens authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm – Hill Top – in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing and bedding, nursery decor products and collectables. Upon her death, Beatrix Potter left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations to enjoy. Today Beatrix Potters original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books. The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is number two in Beatrix Potters series of 23 little books. Look out for the rest!

Description wiki: The Story of the Treasure Seekers is a novel by E. Nesbit. First published in 1899, it tells the story of Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius (H. O.) Bastable, and their attempts to assist their widowed father and recover the fortunes of their family; its sequels are The Wouldbegoods (1901) and The New Treasure Seekers (1904). The novels complete name is The Story of the Treasure Seekers: Being the Adventures of the Bastable Children in Search of a Fortune. The original edition included illustrations by H. R. Millar. The Puffin edition (1958) was illustrated by Cecil Leslie. The story is told from a childs point of view. The narrator is Oswald, but on the first page he announces: “It is one of us that tells this story but I shall not tell you which: only at the very end perhaps I will. While the story is going on you may be trying to guess, only I bet you dont.”[1] However, his occasional lapse into first person, and the undue praise he likes to heap on himself, makes his identity obvious to the attentive reader long before he reveals it himself.
Description Good Reads: When their fathers business fails, the six Bastable children decide to restore the family fortunes. But although they think of many ingenious ways to do so, their well meant efforts are either more fun than profitable, or lead to trouble..
Description Penquin: When their father s business fails, the six Bastable children decide to restore the family fortunes. But although they think of many ingenious ways to do so, their well meant efforts are either more fun than profitable, or lead to trouble
Additional Research: AMZ: From the author of The Railway Children and Five Children and It comes this tale of six siblings and their adventures in Victorian London. The Bastable children are deeply saddened by the death of their mother, and to make things worse, theyre impoverished when their fathers business fails. Determined to restore both the familys fortune and its good name, the young Bastables embark on a variety of hilarious get-rich-quick schemes. Each chapter details a new adventure, from digging for treasure and becoming detectives and highway robbers, to writing a newspaper and selling wine. The children accost a nobleman on Blackheath and are mistaken for blackmailers, pay a visit to a moneylender, encounter a royal princess in Greenwich Park, and earnestly pursue other comic ventures. Their courage and determination provide a heartwarming complement to the droll narrative, and their hopes, disappointments, and triumphs remain as real and moving today as they were a century ago.
Description Original: “It is one of us that tells this story but I shall not tell you which: only at the very end perhaps I will. While the story is going on you may be trying to guess, only I bet you dont.” Thus begins The Story of the Treasure Seekers, a novel by E. Nesbit, author of Five Children and It and The Railway Children. Six siblings are intent on helping out their grieving father after their mother dies and his business fails. They begin a hilarious adventure through Victorian London trying a variety of get-rich schemes along the way. Each chapter tells of a different adventure from becoming highway robbers, to actually digging for treasure to selling wine and writing newspapers! The comic pursuits are a masterpiece in well-intentioned mishaps. Their triumphs and disappointments are as relatable today as they were when this novel delighted young and old alike over 100 years ago.

Description wiki: The Coral Island: A Tale of the Pacific Ocean (1857) is a novel written by Scottish author R. M. Ballantyne. One of the first works of juvenile fiction to feature exclusively juvenile heroes, the story relates the adventures of three boys marooned on a South Pacific island, the only survivors of a shipwreck. A typical Robinsonade a genre of fiction inspired by Daniel Defoes Robinson Crusoe and one of the most popular of its type, the book first went on sale in late 1857 and has never been out of print. Among the novels major themes are the civilising effect of Christianity, 19th-century imperialism in the South Pacific, and the importance of hierarchy and leadership. It was the inspiration for William Goldings dystopian novel Lord of the Flies (1954), which inverted the morality of The Coral Island; in Ballantynes story the children encounter evil, but in Lord of the Flies evil is within them. In the early 20th century, the novel was considered a classic for primary school children in the UK, and in the United States it was a staple of high-school suggested reading lists. Modern critics consider the books worldview to be dated and imperialist, but although less popular today, The Coral Island was adapted into a four-part childrens television drama broadcast by ITV in 2000.
Description Good Reads: In this adult edition of the childrens classic, three English boys, shipwrecked on a deserted island, create an idyllic society despite typhoons, wild hogs, and hostile visitors. Then evil pirates kidnap one of the youths whose adventures continue among the South Sea Islands.

Description wiki: Twelve Years a Slave is an 1853 memoir and slave narrative by American Solomon Northup as told to and edited by David Wilson. Northup, a black man who was born free in New York state, details his being tricked to go to Washington, D.C., where he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Deep South. He was in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana before he was able to secretly get information to friends and family in New York, who in turn secured his release with the aid of the state. Northups account provides extensive details on the slave markets in Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, and describes at length cotton and sugar cultivation and slave treatment on major plantations in Louisiana. The work was published eight years before the Civil War by Derby & Miller of Auburn, New York,[1] soon after Harriet Beecher Stowes best-selling novel about slavery, Uncle Toms Cabin (1852), to which it lent factual support. Northups book, dedicated to Stowe, sold 30,000 copies, making it a bestseller in its own right.[3] After being published in several editions in the 19th century and although later cited by specialist scholarly works on slavery in the United States, the memoir fell into public obscurity for nearly 100 years. It was re-discovered on separate occasions by two Louisiana historians, Sue Eakin (Louisiana State University at Alexandria) and Joseph Logsdon (University of New Orleans).[4] In the early 1960s, they researched and retraced Solomon Northups journey[5] and co-edited a historically annotated version that was published by Louisiana State University Press (1968).[6] The memoir has been adapted as two film versions, produced as the 1984 PBS television film Solomon Northups Odyssey and the Oscar-winning 2013 film 12 Years a Slave.[7]
Description Good Reads: Twelve Years a Slave, sub-title: Narrative of Solomon Northup, citizen of New-York, kidnapped in Washington city in 1841, and rescued in 1853, from a cotton plantation near the Red River in Louisiana, is a memoir by Solomon Northup as told to and edited by David Wilson. It is a slave narrative of a black man who was born free in New York state but kidnapped in Washington, D.C., sold into slavery, and kept in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana.

Twelve Years a Slave Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave is a harrowing memoir about one of the darkest periods in American history. Brought to new attention by the Academy Award winning film adaptation, it is recognized for its unusual insight and eloquence as one of the very few portraits of American slavery produced by someone as educated as Solomon Northup, or by someone with the dual perspective of having been both a free man and a slave.

Description Original: EMS: Twelve years a slave is a harrowing memoir of Solomon Northup an American citizen of New York. Northrup was tricked into traveling from New York to Washington D.C. where he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana. He was able to get word to his family up north eventually and, with the help of the state, was freed after 12 brutal years. His perspective during the darkest time in American history as both a slave and a free man was unique and his eloquence, truth, and insights conveyed in this memoir give the reader an up-close look into the sugar and cotton cultivation on plantations as well as the ongoing slave markets in the south. Northrup dedicated his book to Harriet Beecher Stowe who had just published Uncle Tom s Cabin. It sold 30,000 copies in its initial release making it a bestseller at the time. There have been several adaptations of this book, including an Academy Award-winning movie in 2013.

Description wiki: For the 2015 film adaptation, see Peter and Wendy (film). Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldnt Grow Up Peter-pan-play-announcement.jpg 1904 programme for original play at the Duke of Yorks Theatre, London Written by J. M. Barrie Date premiered 27 December 1904 Original language English Peter and Wendy PeterAndWendy.png Title page, 1911 UK edition Author J. M. Barrie Illustrator F. D. Bedford Country United Kingdom Language English Genre Fantasy Publisher Hodder & Stoughton (UK) Charles Scribners Sons (US) Media type Print Pages 267 pp.; Frontispiece and 11 half-tone plates Preceded by The Little White BirdPeter Pan in Kensington Gardens Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldnt Grow Up or Peter and Wendy, often known simply as Peter Pan, is a work by J. M. Barrie, in the form of a 1904 play and a 1911 novel. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americans, and pirates. The Peter Pan stories also involve the characters Wendy Darling and her two brothers, Peters fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were inspired by Barries friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family. Barrie continued to revise the play for years after its debut until publication of the play script in 1928. The play debuted at the Duke of Yorks Theatre in London on 27 December 1904 with Nina Boucicault, daughter of the playwright Dion Boucicault, in the title role. A Broadway production was mounted in 1905 starring Maude Adams. It was later revived with such actresses as Marilyn Miller and Eva Le Gallienne. The play has since been adapted as a pantomime, a stage musical, a television special, and several films, including a 1924 silent film, the 1953 Disney animated film, and a 2003 live action production. The play is now rarely performed in its original form on stage in the UK, whereas pantomime adaptations are frequently staged around Christmas. In the U.S., the original version has also been supplanted in popularity by the 1954 musical version, which became popular on television. The novel was first published in 1911 by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK, and Charles Scribners Sons in the US. The original book contains a frontispiece and 11 half-tone plates by the artist F. D. Bedford (whose illustrations are still under copyright in the EU). The novel was first abridged by May Byron in 1915, with Barries permission, and published under the title Peter Pan and Wendy, the first time this form was used. This version was later illustrated by Mabel Lucie Attwell in 1921. In 1929, Barrie gave the copyright of the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital, a childrens hospital in London.
Description Good Reads: In Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, J.M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living a wild and secret life with birds and fairies in the middle of London. Later Barrie let this remarkable child grow a little older and he became the boy-hero of Neverland, making his first appearance, with Wendy, Captain Hook, and the Lost Boys, in Peter and Wendy. The Peter Pan stories were Barries only works for children but, as their persistent popularity shows, their themes of imaginative escape continue to charm even those who long ago left Neverland. This is the first edition to include both texts in one volume and the first to a present an extensively annotated text for Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.
Description Penquin: ABOUT PETER PAN J.M. Barrie s classic tale of the boy who would not grow up Peter Pan originally appeared as a baby living a magical life among birds and fairies in J.M. Barrie s sequence of stories, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. His later role as flying boy hero was brought to the stage by Barrie in the beloved play Peter Pan, which opened in 1904 and became the novelPeter and Wendy in 1911. In a narrative filled with vivid characters, epic battles, pirates, fairies, and fantastic imagination, Peter Pan s adventures capture the spirit of childhood and of rebellion against the role of adulthood in conventional society. This edition includes the novel and the stories, as well as an introduction by eminent scholar Jack Zipes. Looking at the man behind Peter Pan and sifting through the psychological interpretations that have engaged many a critic, Zipes explores the larger cultural and literary contexts in which we should appreciate Barrie s enduring creation and shows why Peter Pan is a work not for children but for adults seeking to reconnect with their own imagination. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Description wiki: The Pens es (“Thoughts”) is a collection of fragments written by the French 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascals religious conversion led him into a life of asceticism, and the Pens es was in many ways his lifes work.[1] It represented Pascals defense of the Christian religion, and the concept of “Pascals wager” stems from a portion of this work
Description Good Reads: Blaise Pascal, the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes, was a gifted mathematician and physicist, but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests. The Pense s is a collection of philosohical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in pscyhological, social, metaphysical and – above all – theological terms. Mankind emerges from Pascals analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in Gods grace.

Description wiki: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklins death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklins account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them. There are actual breaks in the narrative between the first three parts, but Part Threes narrative continues into Part Four without an authorial break. In the “Introduction” of the 1916 publication of the Autobiography, editor F. W. Pine wrote that Franklins biography provided the “most remarkable of all the remarkable histories of our self-made men” with Franklin as the greatest exemplar

The Portrait of a Lady The Portrait of a lady cover.jpg First edition (US) Author Henry James Country United Kingdom United States Language English Publisher Houghton, Mifflin and Company, Boston Macmillan and Co., London Publication date 29 October 1881 (Houghton) 16 November 1881 (Macmillan) Media type Print (hardback and paperback) Pages Houghton: 520 Macmillan: volume one, 266; volume two, 253; volume three, 248 The Portrait of a Lady is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and Macmillans Magazine in 1880 81 and then as a book in 1881. It is one of Jamess most popular novels and is regarded by critics as one of his finest. The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer, who, “affronting her destiny,”[1] finds it overwhelming. She inherits a large amount of money and subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming by two American expatriates. Like many of Jamess novels, it is set in Europe, mostly England and Italy. Generally regarded as the masterpiece of Jamess early period,[2] this novel reflects Jamess continuing interest in the differences between the New World and the Old, often to the detriment of the former. It also treats in a profound way the themes of personal freedom, responsibility, and betrayal.

Description Penquin: ABOUT THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY Regarded by many as Henry James s finest work, and a lucid tragedy exploring the distance between money and happiness, The Portrait of a Lady contains an introduction by Philip Horne in Penguin Classics. When Isabel Archer, a beautiful, spirited American, is brought to Europe by her wealthy aunt Touchett, it is expected that she will soon marry. But Isabel, resolved to enjoy the freedom that her fortune has opened up and to determine her own fate, does not hesitate to turn down two eligible suitors. Then she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Gilbert Osmond. Charming and cultivated, Osmond sees Isabel as a rich prize waiting to be taken. Beneath his veneer of civilized behaviour, Isabel discovers cruelty and a stifling darkness. In this portrait of a young woman affronting her destiny , Henry James created one of his most magnificent heroines, and a story of intense poignancy. This edition of The Portrait of a Lady, based on the earliest published copy of the novel, is the version read first and loved by most readers in James s lifetime. It also contains a chronology, further reading, notes and an introduction by Philip Horne.

Description Good Reads: Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.

Rejecting suitors who offer her wealth and devotion, she follows her own path and finds it leads to a dark and constricted future. The Portrait of a Lady is the masterpiece of Jamess middle period, and Isabel is his most engaging central character.

Description Good Reads: This work explores the role of orality in shaping and evaluating medieval Icelandic literature. Applying field studies of oral cultures in modern times to this distinguished medieval literature, Gisli Sigurosson asks how it would alter our reading of medieval Icelandic sagas if it were assumed they had grown out of a tradition of oral storytelling, similar to that observed in living cultures. Sigurosson examines how orally trained lawspeakers regarded the emergent written culture, especially in light of the fact that the writing down of the law in the early twelfth century undermined their social status. Part II considers characters, genealogies, and events common to several sagas from the east of Iceland between which a written link cannot be established. Part III explores the immanent or mental map provided to the listening audience of the location of Vinland by the sagas about the Vinland voyages. Finally, this volume focuses on how accepted foundations for research on medieval texts are affected if an underlying oral tradition (of the kind we know from the modern field work) is assumed as part of their cultural background. This point is emphasized through the examination of parallel passages from two sagas and from mythological overlays in an otherwise secular text
Description Penquin: Ren Descartes was a central figure in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. In his Discourse on Method he outlined the contrast between mathematics and experimental sciences, and the extent to which each one can achieve certainty. Drawing on his own work in geometry, optics, astronomy and physiology, Descartes developed the hypothetical method that characterizes modern science, and this soon came to replace the traditional techniques derived from Aristotle. Many of Descartes most radical ideas such as the disparity between our perceptions and the realities that cause them have been highly influential in the development of modern philosophy.This edition sets the Discourse on Method in the wider context of Descartes work, with the Rules for Guiding One s Intelligence in Searching for the Truth (1628), extracts from The World (1633) and selected letters from 1636-9. A companion volume, Meditations and Other Metaphysical Writings, is also published in Penguin Classics. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Description Original: The Alchemist is a comedy by English playwright Ben Jonson. Samuel Taylor Coleridge believed that it had one of the three most perfect plots in all of literature. The plays clever fulfilment of the classical unities and vivid depiction of human folly have made it one of the few Renaissance plays (except the works of Shakespeare) with a continuing life on stage, apart from a period of neglect during the Victorian era. The plot, like his other play Volpone, or the Foxe, deal with man s folly in pursuit of wealth. In The Alchemist, a character named Face sets about London deceiving a steady stream of dupes as he goes about dispensing spurious potions and charms. While Face s goal is ostensibly wealth, in Johnson s able hands, the play really deals with those who want to change their station in life, to make themselves into gold. The servant longs to be a master and the ordinary man to be a magician. It s Johnson s genius that allows this dark unfulfilled desire to be an entertaining and humorous life lesson in the end.

Description wiki: The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas Kempis, is a Christian devotional book first composed in Medieval Latin as De Imitatione Christi (c. 1418 1427).[1][2] The devotional text is divided into four books of detailed spiritual instructions: (i) “Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life”, (ii) “Directives for the Interior Life”, (iii) “On Interior Consolation”, and (iv) “On the Blessed Sacrament”. The devotional approach of The Imitation of Christ emphasises the interior life and withdrawal from the mundanities of the world, as opposed to the active imitation of Christ practised by other friars.[1] The devotions of the books emphasise devotion to the Eucharist as the key element of spiritual life.[1] The Imitation of Christ is a handbook for the spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, which Thomas followed.[3]The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional work after the Bible,[2][4] and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic.[5] Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650.[6] Apart from the Bible, no book had been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ at the time.[7]
Description Good Reads: Only the Bible has been more influential as a source of Christian devotional reading than The Imitation of Christ. This meditation on the spiritual life has inspired readers from Thomas More and St. Ignatius Loyola to Thomas Merton and Pope John Paul I. Written by the Augustinian monk Thomas Kempis between 1420 and 1427, it contains clear instructions for renouncing wordly vanities and locating eternal truths. No book has more explicitly and movingly described the Christian ideal:
Description Penquin: A passionate celebration of God and his love, mercy, and holiness, The Imitation of Christ has inspired conversion and stimulated religious devotion for more than five hundred years. With great personal conviction, the medieval monk Thomas Kempis demonstrates the individual s reliance on God and on the words of Christ, and the futility of life without faith. Thomas spent some seventy years of his life in the reclusive environment of monasteries, yet in this astonishing work he demonstrates an encompassing understanding of human nature, and his writing speaks to readers of every age and every nationality.

Description wiki: The Mill on the Floss is a novel by Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot), first published in three volumes in 1860 by William Blackwood. The first American edition was published by Harper & Brothers, Publishers, New York.
Description Good Reads: Brought up at Dorlcote Mill, Maggie Tulliver worships her brother Tom and is desperate to win the approval of her parents, but her passionate, wayward nature and her fierce intelligence bring her into constant conflict with her family. As she reaches adulthood, the clash between their expectations and her desires is painfully played out as she finds herself torn between her relationships with three very different men: her proud and stubborn brother, a close friend who is also the son of her familys worst enemy, and a charismatic but dangerous suitor. With its poignant portrayal of sibling relationships, The Mill on the Floss is considered George Eliots most autobiographical novel; it is also one of her most powerful and moving. In this edition writer and critic A.S. Byatt provides full explanatory notes and an introduction relating Mill on the Floss to George Eliots own life and times.
Description Penquin: n The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot re-creates her own childhood through the story of the wild, gifted Maggie Tulliver and her spoiled, selfish brother. Though tragic in its outcome, this tenderly comic novel combines vivid vignettes of family life with a magnificent portrait of the heroine and an acute critique of Victorian sexual politics. Eliot had no peer when it came to finding the drama at the heart of normal lives lived in tandem with the gigantic rhythms of nature itself, and in The Mill on the Floss she shows us once again how thoroughly the art of fiction can satisfy our deepest mental and emotional crav

Description Original: A moving powerful novel by author Geroge Eliot, the Mill on the Floss is considered her most autobiographical. Maggie Tulliver is a fiercely intelligent young woman whose desires in life constantly conflict with parental and societal expectations. Her relationship with her spoiled and selfish brother is poignantly portrayed as Maggie is torn between their relationship and that of two suitors. The novel combines humor and social criticism of the repressed Victorian sexual culture with vividly told vignettes of family life and coming of age. Eliot s genius lies in part on her ability to depict the most compelling drama within seemingly normal lives.

Description wiki: A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792), written by the 18th-century British proto-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, is one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy. In it, Wollstonecraft responds to those educational and political theorists of the 18th century who believed that women should not receive a rational education. She argues that womens education ought to match their position in society, and that they are essential to the nation because they raise its children and could act as respected “companions” to their husbands. Wollstonecraft maintains that women are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, and that treating them as mere ornaments or property for men undercuts the moral foundation of society.[citation needed][clarification needed] Wollstonecraft was prompted to write the Rights of Woman after reading Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-P rigords 1791 report to the French National Assembly, which stated that women should only receive a domestic education; from her reaction to this specific event, she launched a broad attack against sexual double standards, indicting men for encouraging women to indulge in excessive emotion. Wollstonecraft hurried to complete the work in direct response to ongoing events; she intended to write a more thoughtful second volume but died before completing it. While Wollstonecraft does call for equality between the sexes in particular areas of life, especially morality, she does not explicitly state that men and women are equal. Her ambiguous statements regarding the equality of the sexes have made it difficult to classify Wollstonecraft as a modern feminist; the word itself did not emerge until decades after her death. Although it is commonly assumed that the Rights of Woman was unfavourably received, this is a modern misconception based on the belief that Wollstonecraft was as reviled during her lifetime as she became after the publication of William Godwins Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1798). The Rights of Woman was generally received well when it was first published in 1792. Biographer Emily W. Sunstein called it “perhaps the most original book of [Wollstonecrafts] century”.[1] Wollstonecrafts work had significant impact on advocates for womens rights in the 19th century, particularly the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention which produced the Declaration of Sentiments laying out the aims of the suffragette movement in the United States
Description Good Reads: In the present state of society, it appears necessary to go back to first principles in search of the most simple truths, and to dispute with some prevailing prejudice every inch of ground. To clear my way, I must be allowed to ask some plain questions, and the answers will probably appear as unequivocal as the axioms on which reasoning is built; though, when entangled with various motives of action, they are formally contradicted, either by the words or conduct of men.In what does mans pre-eminence over the brute creation consist?The answer is as clear as that a half is less than the whole; inReason.
Description Penquin: It would be an endless task to trace the variety of meannesses, cares, and sorrows, into which women are plunged by the prevailing opinion that they were created rather to feel than reason, and that all the power they obtain, must be obtained by their charms and weakness. Mary Wollstonecraft Composed in 1790, Mary Wollstonecraft s seminal feminist tract A Vindication of the Rights of Woman broke new ground in its demand for women s education. A Vindication remains one of history s most important and elegant manifestos against sexual oppression. In her introduction, renowned socialist feminist Sheila Rowbotham casts Wollstonecraft s life and work in a radical new light

Description wiki: This article is about the Christian allegory, which has been adapted into several formats. For the Vaughan Williams opera, see The Pilgrims Progress (opera). For the Kula Shaker album, see Pilgrims Progress (album). For 2019 film, see The Pilgrims Progress (film). The Pilgrims Progress Pilgrims Progress first edition 1678.jpg First edition title page Author John Bunyan Country England Language English Genre Religious allegory Publication date 1678 The Pilgrims Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious, theological fiction in English literature.[1][2][3][4] It has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print.[5][6] It appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727. The first North American edition was issued in 1681.[7] It has also been cited as the first novel written in English.[8] Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county prison for violations of the Conventicle Act of 1664, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars such as John Brown believed The Pilgrims Progress was begun in Bunyans second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675,[9] but more recent scholars such as Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyans initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660 to 1672 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.[10] The English text comprises 108,260 words and is divided into two parts, each reading as a continuous narrative with no chapter divisions. The first part was completed in 1677 and entered into the Stationers Register on 22 December 1677. It was licensed and entered in the “Term Catalogue” on 18 February 1678, which is looked upon as the date of first publication.[11] After the first edition of the first part in 1678, an expanded edition, with additions written after Bunyan was freed, appeared in 1679. The Second Part appeared in 1684. There were eleven editions of the first part in John Bunyans lifetime, published in successive years from 1678 to 1685 and in 1688, and there were two editions of the second part, published in 1684 and 1686.
Description Good Reads: The Pilgrims Progress has been printed, read, and translated more often than any book other than the Bible. People of all ages have found delight in the simple, earnest story of Christian, the Pilgrim, and his life-changing, life-affirming adventures.
Description Penquin: It is a masterpiece of religious allegory transformed into intense drama, its style unsurpassed, its characters superbly individualized, indelibly alive, and as memorable as the landmarks on Christian s perilous journey toward salvation

Description wiki: Ancient Greek: ???????? ??? ??????, Oidipous epi Kol?n?i) is one of the three Theban plays of the Athenian tragedian Sophocles. It was written shortly before Sophocless death in 406 BC and produced by his grandson (also called Sophocles) at the Festival of Dionysus in 401 BC. In the timeline of the plays, the events of Oedipus at Colonus occur after Oedipus Rex and before Antigone; however, it was the last of Sophocless three Theban plays to be written. The play describes the end of Oedipuss tragic life. Legends differ as to the site of Oedipuss death; Sophocles set the place at Colonus, a village near Athens and also Sophocless own birthplace, where the blinded Oedipus has come with his daughters Antigone and Ismene as suppliants of the Erinyes and of Theseus, the king of Athens.
