    Description wiki: (Russian: ??? ????? ?????????? Chto takoye iskusstvo?) is a book by Leo Tolstoy. It was completed in Russian in 1897 but first published in English due to difficulties with the Russian censors.[1] Tolstoy cites the time, effort, public funds, and public respect spent on art and artists[2] as well as the imprecision of general opinions on art[3] as reason for writing the book. In his words, “it is difficult to say what is meant by art, and especially what is good, useful art, art for the sake of which we might condone such sacrifices as are being offered at its shrine”.[4] Throughout the book Tolstoy demonstrates an “unremitting moralism”,[5] evaluating artworks in light of his radical Christian ethics,[6] and displaying a willingness to dismiss accepted masters, including Wagner,[7] Shakespeare,[8] and Dante,[9] as well as the bulk of his own writings.[10] Having rejected the use of beauty in definitions of art (see aesthetic theory), Tolstoy conceptualises art as anything that communicates emotion: “Art begins when a man, with the purpose of communicating to other people a feeling he once experienced, calls it up again within himself and expresses it by certain external signs”.[11] This view of art is inclusive: “jokes”, “home decoration”, and “church services” may all be considered art as long as they convey feeling.[12] It is also amoral: “[f]eelings very bad and very good, if only they infect the reader constitute the subject of art”.[13] Tolstoy also notes that the “sincerity” of the artist that is, the extent to which the artist “experiences the feeling he conveys” influences the infection

    Description Good Reads: During the decades of his world fame as sage & preacher as well as author of War & Peace & Anna Karenina, Tolstoy wrote prolifically in a series of essays & polemics on issues of morality, social justice & religion. These culminated in What is Art?, published in 1898. Although Tolstoy perceived the question of art to be a religious one, he considered & rejected the idea that art reveals & reinvents through beauty. The works of Dante, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Baudelaire & even his own novels are condemned in the course of Tolstoys impassioned & iconoclastic redefinition of art as a force for good, for the improvement of humankind

    Description Penquin: This profound analysis of the nature of art is the culmination of a series of essays and polemics on issues of morality, social justice, and religion. Considering and rejecting the idea that art reveals and reinvents through beauty, Tolstoy perceives the question of the nature of art to be a religious one. Ultimately, he concludes, art must be a force for good, for the progress and improvement of mankind.

    Description wiki: (also known as “A Letter to a Hindoo”) was a letter written by Leo Tolstoy to Tarak Nath Das on 14 December 1908.[1] The letter was written in response to two letters sent by Das, seeking support from the famous Russian author and thinker for Indias independence from colonial rule. The letter was published in the Indian newspaper Free Hindustan. The letter caused the young Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to write to the world-famous Tolstoy to ask for advice and for permission to reprint the Letter in Gandhis own South African newspaper, Indian Opinion, in 1909. Mohandas Gandhi was stationed in South Africa at the time and just beginning his lifelong activist career. He then translated the letter himself, from the original English copy sent to India, into his native Gujarati.[1] In “A Letter to a Hindu”, Tolstoy argued that only through the principle of love could the Indian people gain independence from colonial rule. Tolstoy saw the law of love espoused in all the worlds religions, and he argued that the individual, nonviolent application of the law of love in the form of protests, strikes, and other forms of peaceful resistance were the only alternative to violent revolution. These ideas ultimately proved to be successful in 1947 in the culmination of the Indian independence movement. In this letter, Tolstoy mentions the works of Swami Vivekananda. This letter, along with Tolstoys views, preaching, and his 1894 book The Kingdom of God Is Within You, helped to form Mohandas Gandhis views about nonviolent resistance.[1] The letter introduced Gandhi to the ancient Tamil moral literature, the Tirukku?a?, which Tolstoy referred to as Hindu Kural.[2] Gandhi then took to studying the Kural while in prison

    Additional Research: AMAZON) Here is Tolstoys masterpiece on nonviolence in the first new English translation in decades by Damian Westfall. Also included with A Letter to a Hindu is the complete correspondence between Tolstoy and Gandhi, an introduction by Gandhi and a new preface and epilogue by Damian Westfall the translator. In 1908 Tarak Nath Das, an Indian revolutionary and editor of Free Hindustan , a magazine published to further the efforts of emancipating the Indians from the British colonial rule, sent Leo Tolstoy two issues of Free Hindustan and a letter explaining the oppression and subjugation of the people of India by the English and asked the world famous writer for advice on the best way to achieve freedom from the minority who enslaved 200,000,000 people and on December 14th , 1908, Tolstoy began writing what would be inevitably entitled A Letter to a Hindu in Russian, but it was soon translated into English by an anonymous writer and in 1909 Das published A Letter to a Hindu in an edition of Free Hindustan , his magazine. A young lawyer turned activist who worked nonstop for the emancipation of India named Gandhi read Tolstoy s A Letter to A Hindu in Free Hindustan while living in South Africa where he resided with a population of 30,000 other Indians who were being oppressed and subjugated by the white Christians in the Transvaal province of South Africa. Gandhi was already a follower of Tolstoy after he read and was radicalized by Tolstoy s The Kingdom of GOD is Within You and immediately Gandhi knew he wanted to publish A Letter to a Hindu in his own magazine Indian Opinion that he was printing and distributing from Transvaal. And so, the young Gandhi wrote to Tolstoy to make sure that Tolstoy actually wrote the letter and asked Tolstoy if he, Gandhi Himself, could translate A Letter to A Hindu into the Indian dialect Guajarati and this began a correspondence of six letters between Gandhi and Tolstoy which concluded with Tolstoy s death in 1910 at 82 years old. The story of Indias nonviolent revolution led by Gandhi is amazing and inspiring, but the reader of A Letter to a Hindu doesnt need to know all the details of the Indian problem presented by Tarak Nath, they are not necessary, because the Indian situation is used by Tolstoy only as an example. It is the theories presented by Tolstoy that are the guts of the letter, and at its center is the reason for publishing these texts, Tolstoy s thoughts on the concept of nonresistance to evil by violence (Matthew 5:38-42, Luke 6:27-31) which includes giving good to evil, not retaliating, loving your enemies, and most importantly the order from Christ that if someone slaps your face you should then turn your face so they can hit the other side as well. This is usually referred to as to turn the other cheek and it is roundly negated and discarded by most pastors and Christians, but this is a direct command from Christ that cannot be ignored or rejected, and this is the core of Tolstoy s ethics: Nonresistance to Evil by Violence

    Description wiki: (pre-reform Russian: ???????????; post-reform Russian: ???????????, tr. Voskres niye), first published in 1899, was the last novel written by Leo Tolstoy. Also translated as The Awakening. The book is the last of his major long fiction works published in his lifetime. Tolstoy intended the novel as an exposition of the injustice of man-made laws and the hypocrisy of the institutionalized church. The novel also explores the economic philosophy of Georgism, of which Tolstoy had become a very strong advocate towards the end of his life, and explains the theory in detail.

    Description Good Reads: Resurrection (1899) is the last of Tolstoys major novels. It tells the story of a noblemans attempt to redeem the suffering his youthful philandering inflicted on a peasant girl who ends up a prisoner in Siberia. Tolstoys vision of redemption, achieved through loving forgiveness and his condemnation of violence, dominate the novel. An intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger, and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, reflecting its authors outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived. This edition, which updates a classic translation, has explanatory notes, and a substantial introduction based on the most recent scholarship in the field.

    Description Penquin: Serving on the jury at a murder trial, Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov is devastated when he sees the prisoner Katyusha, a young maid he seduced and abandoned years before. As Dmitri faces the consequences of his actions, he decides to give up his life of wealth and luxury to devote himself to rescuing Katyusha, even if it means following her into exile in Siberia. But can a man truly find redemption by saving another person? Tolstoy s most controversial novel, Resurrection (1899) is a scathing indictment of injustice, corruption and hypocrisy at all levels of society. Creating a vast panorama of Russian life, from peasants to aristocrats, bureaucrats to convicts, it reveals Tolstoy s magnificent storytelling powers. Anthony Briggs superb new translation preserves Tolstoy s gripping realism and satirical humour. In his introduction, Briggs discusses the true story behind Resurrection, Tolstoy s political and religious reasons for writing the novel, his gift for characterization and the compelling psychological portrait of Dmitri. This edition also includes a chronology, notes and a summary of chapters. 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.

    Description wiki: The Prince (Italian: Il Principe [il ?print?ipe]; Latin: De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccol Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes such as glory and survival can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.[1] From Machiavellis correspondence, a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities).[2] However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavellis death. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but “long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings”.[3] Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it was generally agreed as being especially innovative. This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dantes Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature.[4][5] The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the “effectual” truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It is also notable for being in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those concerning politics and ethics.[6][7]

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI A short treatise on how to acquire power, create a state, and keep it, The Prince represents Machiavelli s effort to provide a guide for political action based on the lessons of history and his own experience as a foreign secretary in Florence. His belief that politics has its own rules so shocked his readers that the adjectival form of his surname, Machiavellian, came to be used as a synonym for political maneuvers marked by cunning, duplicity, or bad faith.

    Description wiki: The Republic (Greek: ????????, translit. Politeia; Latin: De Republica[1]) is a Socratic dialogue, authored by Plato around 375 BC, concerning justice (??????????), the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man.[2] It is Platos best-known work, and has proven to be one of the worlds most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically.[3][4] In the dialogue, Socrates talks with various Athenians and foreigners about the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man.[5] They consider the natures of existing regimes and then propose a series of different, hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis (??????????), a utopian city-state ruled by a philosopher-king. They also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society.[6] The dialogues setting seems to be during the Peloponnesian War.

    Description Good Reads: Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, this classic text is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation, other questions are raised: what is goodness?; what is reality?; and what is knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of education and the role of both women and men as guardians of the people. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by philosopher kings.

    Description Penquin: The Republic is Plato s masterwork. It was written 2,400 years ago and remains one of the most widely read books in the world, famous for both the richness of its ideas and the virtuosity of its writing. Presented as a dialogue between Plato s teacher Socrates and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to study philosophy, inviting its readers to reflect on the choices we must make if we are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work creates a picture of an ideal society governed not money, power, or fame, but by philosophy, wisdom, and justice.

    Description wiki: s a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialised in 1897 by Pearsons Magazine in the UK and by Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The novels first appearance in hardcover was in 1898 from publisher William Heinemann of London. Written between 1895 and 1897,[2] it is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extra-terrestrial race.[3] The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as southern England is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.[4] The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears, and prejudices. Wells said that the plot arose from a discussion with his brother Frank about the catastrophic effect of the British on indigenous Tasmanians. What would happen, he wondered, if Martians did to Britain what the British had done to the Tasmanians?[5] At the time of publication, it was classified as a scientific romance, like Wellss earlier novel The Time Machine. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never been out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a number of television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. It was most memorably dramatised in a 1938 radio programme directed by and starring Orson Welles that allegedly caused public panic among listeners who did not know the Martian invasion was fictional. The novel has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert H. Goddard, who, inspired by the book, helped develop both the liquid-fuelled rocket and multistage rocket, which resulted in the Apollo 11 Moon landing 71 years later

    Description Good Reads: When an army of invading Martians lands in England, panic and terror seize the population. As the aliens traverse the country in huge three-legged machines, incinerating all in their path with a heat ray and spreading noxious toxic gases, the people of the Earth must come to terms with the prospect of the end of human civilization and the beginning of Martian rule. Inspiring films, radio dramas, comic-book adaptations, television series and sequels,The War of the Worlds is a prototypical work of science fiction which has influenced every alien story that has come since, and is unsurpassed in its ability to thrill, well over a century since it was first published.

    Description Penquin: Now in paperback, and accompanied by Edward s Gorey s masterful, timelessly haunting illustrations, H. G. Wells s classic story of alien invasion. When massive, intelligent aliens from Mars touch down in Victorian England and threaten to destroy the civilized world, humanity s vaunted knowledge proves to be of little use. First published in 1898, H. G. Wells s masterpiece of speculative fiction has thrilled and delighted generations of readers, spawned countless imitations, and inspired dramatizations by such masters as Orson Welles and Steven Spielberg. The War of the Worlds is a fantasy that is startlingly up-to-date yet in touch with the most ancient of human fears. In 1960, Edward Gorey prepared a set of his inimitable pen-and-ink drawings to illustrate a new edition of The War of the Worlds for the legendary Looking Glass Library. Characteristically quirky, elegant, and entrancing, Gorey s visual take on Wells s seminal tour de force was unavailable until 2005, when NYRB Classics reissued it in a special hardcover edition. Now in paperback, this edition brings back for today s readers a richly rewarding

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AIThe War of the Worlds was written by H. G. Wells, a four-time Nobel Prize in Literature nominee. It is widely known as one of the earliest stories that depict the conflict between the human race (and an extraterrestrial) and the human race. H. G. Wells is regarded as the father of science fiction. He was also an influential social critic with an eye on the future. He wrote many novels and short stories during his life that explored how society would change if it followed his progressive vision of the future. His science-fiction fantasies included alien invasions and time travel. However, he also predicted the existence of nuclear weapons and space travel through his writings. The War of the Worlds tells the story of an unnamed protagonist from Surrey, who survives the invasion of South England by Martians. Something drops from the sky; it contains something. It drops and then a sudden explosion! It opens to reveal an alien with grey skin and large eyes. A human delegation forms around the Martians, waving peace flags as each canister drops. One canister falls from the sky with a loud explosion, landing near the home of the narrator. The British military arrives in the south of England, and the human population engages in a war against the Martians to stop them from assembling their mysterious machinery. However, the military is unable to match the power of the Martians. The War of the Worlds is lauded for its technology predictions, a cultural criticism of Victorian England, and influence on science fiction, which led to later works about alien invasions. Many interpretations of The War of the Worlds, including those on evolution, religion, colonialism, and imperialism. Despite the social criticism, it is a fascinating and enjoyable story that anyone who wants to read science fiction will enjoy.

    Description wiki: is an American childrens novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow.[1] The first novel in the Oz series, the story chronicles the adventures of a young Kansas farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their home by a tornado.[2] Upon her arrival in Oz, she learns she cannot return home until she has destroyed the Wicked Witch of the West.[3] The book was first published in the United States in May 1900 by the George M. Hill Company.[4] In January 1901, the publishing company completed printing the first edition, a total of 10,000 copies, which quickly sold out.[4] It had sold three million copies by the time it entered the public domain in 1956. It was often reprinted under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the successful 1902 Broadway musical adaptation as well as the popular 1939 live-action film.[5][6] The ground-breaking success of both the original 1900 novel and the 1902 Broadway musical prompted Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books which serve as official sequels to the first story. Over a century later, the book is one of the best-known stories in American literature, and the Library of Congress has declared the work to be “Americas greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale.

    Description wiki: Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens and his penultimate completed novel. It depicts the education of an orphan nicknamed Pip (the book is a bildungsroman, a coming-of-age story). It is Dickenss second novel, after David Copperfield, to be fully narrated in the first person.[N 1] The novel was first published as a serial in Dickenss weekly periodical All the Year Round, from 1 December 1860 to August 1861.[1] In October 1861, Chapman and Hall published the novel in three volumes. The novel is set in Kent and London in the early to mid-19th century[5] and contains some of Dickenss most celebrated scenes, starting in a graveyard, where the young Pip is accosted by the escaped convict Abel Magwitch. Great Expectations is full of extreme imagery poverty, prison ships and chains, and fights to the death and has a colourful cast of characters who have entered popular culture. These include the eccentric Miss Havisham, the beautiful but cold Estella, and Joe, the unsophisticated and kind blacksmith. Dickenss themes include wealth and poverty, love and rejection, and the eventual triumph of good over evil. Great Expectations, which is popular both with readers and literary critics,[6][7] has been translated into many languages and adapted numerous times into various media. Upon its release, the novel received near universal acclaim.[6] Although Dickenss contemporary Thomas Carlyle referred to it disparagingly as “that Pip nonsense,” he nevertheless reacted to each fresh instalment with “roars of laughter.”[8] Later, George Bernard Shaw praised the novel, as “All of one piece and consistently truthful.”[9] During the serial publication, Dickens was pleased with public response to Great Expectations and its sales;[10] when the plot first formed in his mind, he called it “a very fine, new and grotesque idea.”[11] In the 21st century, the novel retains good ratings among literary critics[12] and in 2003 it was ranked 17th on the BBCs The Big Read poll.[13]

    Description Good Reads: GREAT EXPECTATIONS A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor- these form a series of events that changes the orphaned Pips life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman. Dickenss haunting late novel depicts Pips education and development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his “great expectations.”

    Description Penquin: As a young orphan, Pip encounters an escaped criminal while living with his cruel sister. He is then sent to spend time with the eccentric Miss Havisham and her cold, beautiful ward, Estella, who enchants Pip. As a young man, Pip is given money by a mysterious benefactor, who turns out to be both the convict and Estella s father. With the hopes of winning Estella s love and becoming a gentleman in London, Pip is tasked with many “great expectations.”

    Additional Research: amazon – Great Expectations is Charles Dickenss thirteenth novel. It is his second novel, after David Copperfield, to be fully narrated in the first person. Great Expectations is a bildungsroman, or a coming-of-age novel, and it is a classic work of Victorian literature. It depicts the growth and personal development of an orphan named Pip. The novel was first published in serial form in Dickenss weekly periodical All the Year Round, from 1 December 1860 to August 1861. In October 1861, Chapman and Hall published the novel in three volumes. Dickens originally intended Great Expectations to be twice as long, but constraints imposed by the management of All the Year Round limited the novels length. The novel is collected and dense, with a conciseness unusual for Dickens. According to G. K. Chesterton, Dickens penned Great Expectations in “the afternoon of [his] life and fame.” It was the penultimate novel Dickens completed, preceding Our Mutual Friend. It is set among the marshes of Kent and in London in the early to mid-1800s. The novel contains some of Dickens most memorable scenes, including its opening, in a graveyard, when the young orphan Pip is accosted by the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch. Great Expectations is a graphic book, full of extreme imagery, poverty, prison ships (“the hulks”), barriers and chains, and fights to the death. Upon its release, Thomas Carlyle spoke of “All that Pips nonsense.” Later, George Bernard Shaw praised the novel as “All of one piece and consistently truthful.” Dickens felt Great Expectations was his best work, calling it “a very fine idea,” and was very sensitive to compliments from his friends: “Bulwer, who has been, as I think you know, extraordinarily taken by the book. “Great Expectations has a colorful cast that has entered popular culture: the capricious Miss Havisham, the cold and beautiful Estella, Joe the kind and generous blacksmith, the dry and sycophantic Uncle Pumblechook, Mr. Jaggers, Wemmick with his dual personality, and the eloquent and wise friend, Herbert Pocket.

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI The classic novel Great Expectations was one of its Charles Dicken s greatest critical and popular successes. It chronicles the coming of age of the orphan Pip while also addressing such issues as social class and human worth. Pip (Philip Pirrip) narrates the tale from an unspecified time in the future. Noted for its blend of humor, mystery and tragedy the novel explores how Pip comes to realize that his great expectations social standing and wealth are less important than loyalty and compassion.

    Description wiki: The Yellow Wallpaper” (original title: “The Yellow Wall-paper. A Story”) is a short story by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine.[1] It is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature for its illustration of the attitudes towards mental and physical health of women in the 19th century. Narrated in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented an old mansion for the summer. Forgoing other rooms in the house, the couple moves into the upstairs nursery. As a form of treatment, the husband forbids the unnamed woman from working or writing and encourages her to eat well and get plenty of air so that she can recuperate from what he calls a “temporary nervous depression a slight hysterical tendency”, a diagnosis common to women during that period.[2][3][4]

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI A Pickle for the Knowing Ones also known as Plain Truths in a Homespun Dress is an autobiographical series of letters from Lord Timothy Dexter published in 1802. Many referred to the self-published book as a rant , but it has withstood the test of time. Lord Dexter was a well-known eccentric of the time who had an uncanny ability to make business decisions that seemed insane at the time and wound up being extremely lucrative. One famous example that most thought would lead to bankruptcy was his notion to send Coals to Newcastle, a town built in large part on its coal industry. The coal arrived however, just as the coal miners went on strike. These crazy accidentally brilliant entrepreneurial stories and the author s complete disregard for the rules of punctuation and capitalization make for a thoroughly enjoyable read. The randomness of the punctuation was met with many critics complaints which led Lord Dexter to create a second edition wherein he wrote extra pages filled with only punctuation marks and invited his readers to salt and pepper them as they pleased throughout the book on their own.

    Description wiki: The Brothers Karamazov (Russian: ??????? ???????????, Bratya Karamazovy, pronounced [?brat?j? k?r??maz?v?]), also translated as The Karamazov Brothers, is the last novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger from January 1879 to November 1880. Dostoevsky died less than four months after its publication. Set in 19th-century Russia, The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel that enters deeply into questions of God, free will, and morality. It is a theological drama dealing with problems of faith, doubt and reason in the context of a modernizing Russia, with a plot that revolves around the subject of patricide. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting.[1] It has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature

    Description Good Reads: The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the wicked and sentimental Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons?the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture. This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal inventiveness of Dostoevsky s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky s last and greatest novel.

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI The Brothers Karamazov, the final novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, was first published as Bratya Karamazovy in 1879 80 and is generally considered to be his masterpiece. It is the story of Fyodor Karamazov and his sons Alyosha, Dmitry, and Ivan. It is also a story of patricide, into the sordid unfolding of which Dostoyevsky introduces a love-hate struggle with profound psychological and spiritual implications. Throughout the novel, there persists a search for faith, for God the central idea of the work. The dramatization of Ivan s repudiation of God s world is concentrated in the famous Legend of the Grand Inquisitor. A response to Ivan is contained in the preaching of the monk Zosima that the secret of universal harmony is achieved not by the mind but by the heart.

It was more real than any dream he had ever had in his life. He could still hear and feel the sharp, ripping-metal explosion, the violent heave that had tossed him furiously out of bed, the searing wave of heat. He sat up convulsively and stared, not believing what he saw, at the quiet room and the bright sunlight coming in the window. He croaked, “Mary?” Pinching yourself is no way to see if you are dreaming. Surgical instruments? Well, yes — but a mechanics kit is best of all!

    Description wiki: Little Fuzzy is a 1962 science fiction novel by H. Beam Piper, now in public domain. It was nominated for the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The story revolves around determining whether a small furry species discovered on the planet Zarathustra is sapient, and features a mild libertarianism that emphasizes sincerity and honesty. The book was followed by a sequel, Fuzzy Sapiens (original title The Other Human Race) published in 1964, the same year that Piper died by suicide. In the wake of Pipers suicide, rumor spread of a lost “second sequel”; in 1981, at the behest of Ace Books, William Tuning produced the critically acclaimed Fuzzy Bones. Ace also hired Ardath Mayhar in 1982 to write Golden Dreams: A Fuzzy Odyssey, which tells the events of Little Fuzzy from the viewpoint of the Fuzzies (or Gashta, as they call themselves). Later, Pipers lost manuscript was discovered, and published in 1984 as Fuzzies and Other People. Wolfgang Diehr wrote or co-wrote three sequels, published by Pequod Press: Fuzzy Ergo Sum (2011), Caveat Fuzzy (2012), and Fuzzy Conundrum (2016, with well-known Piper historian John F. Carr). In 2011, John Scalzi published Fuzzy Nation, which he described as a “reboot” of Pipers original.[1]

    Description Good Reads: he chartered Zarathustra Company had it all their way. Their charter was for a Class III uninhabited planet, which Zarathustra was, and it meant they owned the planet lock stock and barrel. They exploited it, developed it and reaped the huge profits from it without interference from the Colonial Government. Then Jack Holloway, a sunstone prospector, appeared on the scene with his family of Fuzzies and the passionate conviction that they were not cute animals but little people.

    Description Penquin: Zarathustra was a Class-III uninhabited planet, and the chartered Zarathustra Company owned it lock, stock, and barrel. They developed it, exploited it, and reaped huge profits without any interference from the Colonial Government. But then, out of nowhere, came Jack Holloway with a family of Fuzzies and a great deal of evidence that they were more than just cute little animals. If the Fuzzies were a race of intelligent beings, then Zarathustra would automatically become a Class-IV inhabited planet, and the Company s charter and privileges would be over. The chartered Zarathustra Company wasn t going to allow that to happen

Later English editions sometimes combined the two under the title From the Earth to the Moon and Around It. From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon served as the basis for the 1902 film A Trip to the Moon.
