    Description wiki: The Mucker is a novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs.

    Description Good Reads: Billy Byrne is a low class American born in Chicagos ghetto. He grows up a thief and a mugger. “Billy was a mucker, a hoodlum, a gangster, a thug, a tough.” He is not chivalrous nor kind, and has only meager ethics – never giving evidence against a friend or leaving someone behind. He chooses a life of robbery and violence, disrespecting those who work for a living. He has a deep hatred for wealthy society. He trains as a prizefighter but can not stop drinking. When falsely accused of murder, he flees to San Francisco and is shanghaied aboard a ship. Ironically, enforced sobriety, brutal ships discipline and productive work improves him. The ships secret mission is soon enacted – the hijacking of a specific yacht to take a millionaires daughter, Barbara Harding, for ransom. Originally two stories, The Mucker begun in August 1913 and published by All-Story Weekly in October and November 1914; and The Return of the Mucker begun in January 1916 and published by All-Story Weekly in June and July 1916. The book version was first published by A. C. McClurg on 31 October 1921. From January 1922 to August 1939, Methuen (UK) published a version of The Return of the Mucker under the title The Man Without A Soul.

    Description wiki: The Four Million is the second published collection of short stories by O. Henry originally released on April 10, 1906 by McClure, Phillips & Co. in New York. There are twenty-five stories of various lengths including several of his best known works such as “The Gift of the Magi” and “The Cop and the Anthem”. The books title refers to the then population of New York City where many of the stories are set. O. Henry was responding to a newspaper editorial which opined that there were only four hundred people in New York City worth knowing.[1]

    Description Good Reads: The Four Million (1906) is a collection of short stories by American writer O. Henry. Inspired by his experiences as a fugitive and in prison, these stories address themes of poverty, persecution, and hope. The Four Million refers to the population of New York City, where O. Henry was living at the time of its composition. Containing twenty-five works of short fiction, the collection includes several of the authors best-known stories. “The Gift of the Magi” is a heartwarming story of a young married couple who struggle to afford gifts for one another in the days leading up to Christmas. Delia, placing her husbands happiness before her own, sells her own hair in order to afford a platinum pocket watch chain. When she returns home, however, she finds that Jim has made a similar sacrifice. In “The Skylight Room,” a typist named Miss Leeson tries to find work while renting the smallest room at Mrs. Parkers boarding house. In a moment of quiet desperation, she names a star “Billy Jackson” while staring out of the rooms tiny skylight, a view she soon struggles to afford. “The Cop and the Anthem” follows a homeless man named Soapy. As winter approaches, he commits a series of petty crimes in order to be taken to the shelter of jail. When his attempts fail, however, he discovers that justice has a cruel way of revealing itself. The Four Million, one of O. Henrys finest works, is an exemplary collection of short fiction that showcases the authors empathetic and hopeful outlook on poverty and American life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of O. Henrys The Four Million is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

    Description Good Reads: Arthur Annesley Ronald Firbank (1886-1926) was a British novelist. He published his first book, Odette dAntrevernes, in 1905 before going up to Cambridge. He converted to Catholicism in 1907. In 1909 he left Cambridge, without completing a degree. Living off his inheritance he travelled around Spain, Italy, the Middle East, and North Africa. His novel Valmouth (1918) is based on the activities of various people in a health resort on the West Coast of England. A musical comedy by Sandy Wilson gave the novel some popularity in the 1960s. It has several times been revived and recorded on CD. In The Flower Beneath the Foot (1923), the setting is an imaginary country which may be assumed to be somewhere in the Balkans. Sorrow in Sunlight, retitled at the suggestion of the publisher Prancing Nigger (1925) was especially successful in America. His other works include: The Princess Zoubaroff (1920), The Flower Beneath the Foot (1923), Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli (1926) and The New Rythum, begun 1926; fragments published posthumously.

In the lethargic noontide nothing stirred: all was so still, indeed, that the sound of someone snoring was clearly audible among the cane-fields far away. After dose yams an pods an de white falernum, I dats way sleepy too, she murmured, fixing heavy, somnolent, eyes upon the prospect that lay before her. Through the sun-tinged greenery shone the sea, like a floor of silver glass strewn with white sails. Somewhere out there, fishing, must be her boy, Bamboo! And, inconsequently, her thoughts wandered from the numerous shark-casualties of late to the mundane proclivities of her mother; for to quit the little village of Mediavilla for the capital was that dame s fixed obsession. Leave Mediavilla, leave Bamboo! The young negress fetched a sigh. In what, she reflected, way would the family gain by entering Society, and how did one enter it, at all? There would be a gathering, doubtless, of the elect (probably armed), since the best Society is exclusive, and difficult to enter. And then? Did one burrow? Or charge? She had sometimes heard it said that people pushed … and closing her eyes, Miss Miami Mouth sought to picture her parents, assisted by her small sister, Edna, and her brother, Charlie, forcing their way, perspiring, but triumphant, into the highest social circles of the city of Cuna-Cuna. Across the dark savannah country the city lay, one of the chief alluring cities of the world: The Celestial city of Cuna-Cuna, Cuna, city of Mimosa, Cuna, city of Arches, Queen of the Tropics, Paradise almost invariably travellers referred to it like that. Oh, everything must be fantastic there, where even the very pickneys put on clothes! And Miss Miami Mouth glanced fondly down at her own plump little person, nude, but for a girdle of creepers that she would gather freshly twice a day. It would be a shame, sh o, to cover it, she murmured drowsily, caressing her body; and moved to a sudden spasm of laughter, she tittered: No! really. De ideah!

    Description wiki: a 1904 novel made up of interlinked short stories, written by O. Henry and set in a fictitious Central American country called the Republic of Anchuria.[1] It takes its title from the poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, featured in Lewis Carrolls Through the Looking Glass. Its plot contains famous elements in the poem: shoes and ships and sealing wax, cabbages and kings. It was inspired by the characters and situations that O. Henry encountered in Honduras in the late 1890s.

    Description Good Reads: A series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period. In this book, O. Henry coined the term “banana republic”.

    Description wiki: (1874) is Thomas Hardys fourth novel and his first major literary success. It originally appeared anonymously as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, where it gained a wide readership. The novel is set in Thomas Hardys Wessex in rural southwest England, as had been his earlier Under the Greenwood Tree. It deals in themes of love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England. It describes the life and relationships of Bathsheba Everdene with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy. On publication, critical notices were plentiful and mostly positive. Hardy revised the text extensively for the 1895 edition and made further changes for the 1901 edition.[1] The novel has an enduring legacy. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 48 on the BBCs survey The Big Read,[2] while in 2007, it was ranked 10th on The Guardians list of greatest love stories of all time.[3] The novel has also been dramatised several times, notably in the Oscar-nominated 1967 film directed by John Schlesinger

    Description Good Reads: Independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. The first of his works set in the fictional county of Wessex, Hardys novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships

    Description Penquin: In Thomas Hardy s first major literary success, independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, the soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy, and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. One of his first works set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex, Hardy s novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships. This edition, based on Hardy s original 1874 manuscript, is the complete novel he never saw published, and restores its full candor and innovation. Rosemarie Morgan s introduction discusses the history of its publication, as well as the biblical and classical allusions that permeate the novel.

    Description Original: In Thomas Hardy s fourth novel, Far from the Madding Crowd, Bathsheba Everdene moves to Weatherbury in rural southwest England to be a farmer at a large estate. She attracts the attention of three suitors, the soldier Sergeant Troy, the older prosperous farmer, William Boldwood and Gabriel Oak, the devoted shepherd. Each in his own way complicates and unsettles her life. When tragedy strikes, the entire community s stability is threatened. Hardy is a master storyteller, unflinchingly honest about sexual relations and imbuing his scenes of courtship and love with beautiful descriptions of the natural rural landscapes.

    Description wiki: Notre-Dame de Paris (French: [n?t?? dam d? pa?i] (About this soundlisten); meaning “Our Lady of Paris”), referred to simply as Notre-Dame,[a] is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the le de la Cit in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. The cathedral was consecrated to the Virgin Mary and is considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colourful rose windows, as well as the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style.[5] Major musical components that make Notre Dame stand out include its three pipe organs, one of which is historic; and its immense church bells.[6] The cathedrals construction began in 1163 under Bishop Maurice de Sully and was largely complete by 1260, though it was modified frequently in the following centuries. In the 1790s, Notre-Dame suffered desecration during the French Revolution; much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. In the 19th century, the cathedral was the site of the coronation of Napoleon I and the funerals of many presidents of the French Republic. Popular interest in the cathedral blossomed soon after the 1831 publication of Victor Hugos novel Notre-Dame de Paris (better known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). This led to a major restoration project between 1844 and 1864, supervised by Eug ne Viollet-le-Duc. The Allied liberation of Paris in 1944 was celebrated within Notre-Dame with the singing of the Magnificat. Beginning in 1963, the cathedrals fa ade was cleaned of centuries of soot and grime. Another cleaning and restoration project was carried out between 1991 and 2000.[7] The cathedral is one of the most widely recognized symbols of the city of Paris and the French nation. As the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame contains the cathedra of the archbishop of Paris (Michel Aupetit). In 1805, Notre-Dame was given the honorary status of a minor basilica. Approximately 12 million people visit Notre-Dame annually, making it the most visited monument in Paris.[8] The cathedral was renowned for its Lent sermons, founded by the Dominican Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire in the 1830s. In recent years, an increasing number have been given by leading public figures and state-employed academics. The cathedral has been progressively stripped of its original decoration and works of art. Several noteworthy examples of Gothic, Baroque, and 19th-century sculptures and a group of 17th- and early 18th-century altarpieces remain in the cathedrals collection. Some of the most important relics in Christendom, including the Crown of Thorns, a sliver of the true cross and a nail from the true cross, are preserved at Notre-Dame. While undergoing renovation and restoration, the roof of Notre-Dame caught fire on the evening of 15 April 2019. Burning for around 15 hours, the cathedral sustained serious damage, including the destruction of the fl che (the timber spirelet over the crossing) and most of the lead-covered wooden roof above the stone vaulted ceiling.[2] Contamination of the site and the nearby environment resulted.[9] Following the fire, many proposals were made for modernizing the cathedrals design. However, on 29 July 2019, the French National Assembly enacted a law requiring that the restoration must preserve the cathedrals historic, artistic and architectural interest.[10] Stabilizing the structure against possible collapse was completed in November 2020,[11] and the reconstruction began in 2021. The government of France hopes the reconstruction can be completed by Spring 2024, in time for the opening of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.[12][13] President Emmanuel Macron confirmed on 14 April 2021 that the cathedral site will be formally returned to the church on 15 April 2024, and the first mass will be held in the cathedral nave on that day, even if the reconstruction is not finished by then.[14]

    Description Good Reads: More commonly known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Victor Hugo s Romantic novel of dark passions and unrequited love In the vaulted Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral lives Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bellringer. Mocked and shunned for his appearance, he is pitied only by Esmerelda, a beautiful gypsy dancer to whom he becomes completely devoted. Esmerelda, however, has also attracted the attention of the sinister archdeacon Claude Frollo, and when she rejects his lecherous approaches, Frollo hatches a plot to destroy her, that only Quasimodo can prevent. Victor Hugo s sensational, evocative novel brings life to the medieval Paris he loved, and mourns its passing in one of the greatest historical romances of the nineteenth century. John Sturrock s clear, contemporary translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing it as a passionate novel of ideas, written in defence of Gothic architecture and of a burgeoning democracy, and demonstrating that an ugly exterior can conceal moral beauty. This revised edition also includes further reading and a chronology of Hugo s life.

    Additional Research: At the center of Hugos classic novel are three extraordinary characters caught in a web of fatal obsession. The grotesque hunchback Quasimodo, bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, owes his life to the austere archdeacon, Claude Frollo, who in turn is bound by a hopeless passion to the gypsy dancer Esmeralda. She, meanwhile, is bewitched by a handsome, empty-headed officer, but by an unthinking act of kindness wins Quasimodos selfless devotion. Behind the central figures moves a pageant of picturesque characters, including the underworld of beggars and petty criminals whose assault on the cathedral is one of the most spectacular set-pieces of Romantic literature. Alban Kraisheimers new translation offers a fresh approach to this monumental work by Frances most celebrated Romantic authors. For over 100 years has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxfords commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

    Description wiki: Riders of the Purple Sage is a Western novel by Zane Grey, first published by Harper & Brothers in 1912. Considered by scholars[1] to have played a significant role in shaping the formula of the popular Western genre, the novel has been called “the most popular western novel of all time.”[2

    Description Good Reads: Told by a master storyteller who, according to critic Russell Nye, combined adventure, action, violence, crisis, conflict, sentimentalism, and sex in an extremely shrewd mixture, Riders of the Purple Sage is a classic of the Western genre. It is the story of Lassiter, a gunslinging avenger in black, who shows up in a remote Utah town just in time to save the young and beautiful rancher Jane Withersteen from having to marry a Mormon elder against her will. Lassiter is on his own quest, one that ends when he discovers a secret grave on Jane s grounds. [Zane Grey s] popularity was neither accidental nor undeserved, wrote Nye. Few popular novelists have possessed such a grasp of what the public wanted and few have developed Grey s skill at supplying it.

    Description Good Reads: Watersgreen House Classic Editions Herman Melville Collection places Melvilles early novels in the canon of gay literature. *”Melville has the strange, uncanny magic of sea-creatures, and some of their repulsiveness. He isnt quite a land animal. There is something slithery about him. Something always half-seas-over. In his life they said he was mad – or crazy. He was neither mad nor crazy. But he was over the border. …There he is then, in Typee, among the dreaded cannibal savages. And they are gentle and generous with him, and he is truly in a sort of Eden. Here at last is Rousseaus Child of Nature and Chateaubriands Noble Savage called upon and found at home. Yes, Melville loves his savage hosts. He finds them gentle, laughing lambs compared to the ravening wolves of his white brothers, left behind in America and on an American whaleship. The ugliest beast on earth is the white man, says Melville. In short, Herman found in Typee the paradise he was looking for. It is true, the Marquesans were immoral, but he rather liked that. Morality was too white a trick to take him in. …There they are, these South Sea Islanders, beautiful big men with their golden limbs and their laughing, graceful laziness. And they will call you brother, choose you as a brother.” – D.H. Lawrence Typee, a semi-autobiographical work, is Melvilles first novel. Like all his work, it is infused with a latent homoeroticism and is important not only as literature but as philosophical, psychological, and anthropological commentary. Most of all, however, it is a fine story that captured the publics imagination and remained one of Melvilles most popular works throughout his lifetime.

    Description Penquin: Typee, a Romance of the South Sea is the first book by American writer Herman Melville. Herman Melville (1819 1891) was an American novelist, poet, and writer of short stories. A classic in the literature of travel and adventure partly based on his actual experiences as a captive on the island Nuku Hiva, which Melville spelled as Nukuheva, in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands, in 1842. The title comes from the name of a valley there called Tai Pi Vai. It was Melvilles most popular work during his lifetime, but made him notorious as the “man who lived among the cannibals.” Typee may have provided the writers Robert Louis Stevenson, Louis Becke and Jack London with the themes and images of the Pacific experience: cannibalism, cultural absorption, colonialism, exoticism, eroticism, natural plenty and beauty, and a perceived simplicity of native lifestyle, desires and motives.

    Description wiki: Tender Buttons is a 1914 book by American writer Gertrude Stein consisting of three sections titled “Objects”, “Food”, and “Rooms”. While the short book consists of multiple poems covering the everyday mundane, Steins experimental use of language renders the poems unorthodox and their subjects unfamiliar. Stein began composition of the book in 1912 with multiple short prose poems in an effort to “create a word relationship between the word and the things seen” using a “realist” perspective. She then published it in three sections as her second book in 1914.[1] Tender Buttons has provoked divided critical responses since its publication. It is renowned for its Modernist approach to portraying the everyday object and has been lauded as a “masterpiece of verbal Cubism”.[2] Its first poem, “A Carafe, That Is a Blind Glass”, is arguably its most famous, and is often cited as one of the quintessential works of Cubist literature. The book has also been, however, criticized as “a modernist triumph, a spectacular failure, a collection of confusing gibberish, and an intentional hoax”

    Description Good Reads: One evening in the winter, some years ago, my brother came to my rooms in the city of Chicago bringing with him a book by Gertrude Stein. The book was called Tender Buttons and, just at that time, there was a good deal of fuss and fun being made over it in American newspapers. I had already read a book of Miss Steins called Three Lives and had thought it contained some of the best writing ever done by an American. I was curious about this new book. My brother had been at some sort of a gathering of literary people on the evening before and someone had read aloud from Miss Steins new book. The party had been a success. After a few lines the reader stopped and was greeted by loud shouts of laughter. It was generally agreed that the author had done a thing we Americans call putting something across the meaning being that she had, by a strange freakish performance, managed to attract attention to herself, get herself discussed in the newspapers, become for a time a figure in our hurried, harried lives. My brother, as it turned out, had not been satisfied with the explanation of Miss Steins work then current in America, and so he bought Tender Buttons and brought it to me, and we sat for a time reading the strange sentences. It gives words an oddly new intimate flavor and at the same time makes familiar words seem almost like strangers, doesnt it, he said. What my brother did, you see, was to set my mind going on the book, and then, leaving it on the table, he went away.

    Description Penquin: Before becoming the patron of Lost Generation artists, Gertrude Stein established her reputation as an innovative author whose style was closer to painting than literature. Steins strong influence on 20th-century literature is evident in this 1915 work of highly original prose rendered in thought-provoking experimental techniques.

The most famous of these poems, “A Carafe, That Is a Blind Glass”, is often cited as one of the quintessential works of Cubist literature. Described in general as a “masterpiece of verbal Cubism” these poems have an artistic style that affects the reader more viscerally as a painting rather than as a work of literature. Critical response to the book has been very controversial. While some describe its Modernist approach to language as genius, others have criticized it as “a spectacular failure, a collection of confusing gibberish, and an intentional hoax.”

    Description wiki: The White Feather is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published on 9 October 1907 by A & C Black, London.[1] It is set at Wrykyn school, scene of Wodehouses earlier book The Gold Bat (1904), and the later Mike (1909). Like many early Wodehouse novels, the story first appeared as a serial in the boys magazine The Captain, between October 1905 and March 1906. The phrase “white feather” is a reference to cowardice. In the novel, Sheen, a quiet and studious boy, finds himself facing a street brawl between boys of Wrykyn and a gang of local toughs. He slips away to safety, but his cowardliness is noticed by his fellows, who ostracize him. He trains secretly under boxing legend Joe Bevan, hoping to restore his honour in the boxing ring.

    Additional Research: Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (1881-1975) was a comic writer who has enjoyed enormous popular success for more than seventy years. Wodehouses main canvas remained that of prewar English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career. Wodehouse was admired both by contemporaries like Rudyard Kipling as well as by modern writers like Terry Pratchett. Best known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical comedies. He worked with Cole Porter on the musical Anything Goes. His other works include: A Prefects Uncle (1903), Tales of St. Austins (1903), The Gold Bat (1904), The Head of Kays (1905), Love Among the Chickens (1906), The White Feather (1907), Mike (1909), Psmith, Journalist (1909), Psmith in the City (1910), The Little Nugget (1913), Something New (1915), The Man with Two Left Feet, and Other Stories (1917), Piccadilly Jim (1917), A Damsel in Distress (1919), Indiscretions of Archie (1921) and The Clic

    Description wiki: A Prefects Uncle is an early novel by author P. G. Wodehouse, one of his school stories for children. It was first published on 11 September 1903 by A & C Black. An American edition was issued by Macmillan from imported sheets in October 1903.[1] The action of the novel takes place at the fictional public school Beckford College, a boarding school for boys. The title alludes to the arrival at the school of a mischievous young boy called Reginald Farnie, who turns out to be the uncle of the older “Bishop” Gethryn, a prefect, cricketer and popular figure in the school. His arrival, along with that of another youngster, Wilson, who becomes a personal servant to Gethryns friend Marriott, leads to much excitement and scandal in the school, and the disruption of some important cricket matches.

    Description Good Reads: Marriott walked into the senior day-room and finding no one there hurled his portmanteau down on the table with a bang. The noise brought William into the room. William was attached to Leicesters House Beckford College as a mixture of butler and bootboy.

    Description wiki: William Tell Told Again is a retelling of the William Tell legend in prose and verse with illustrations. The main prose element was written by P. G. Wodehouse, while Philip Dadd supplied the frontispiece and 15 full-page illustrations, all in colour. The 15 illustrations were each accompanied by a verse written by John W. Houghton, who also wrote the prologue and epilogue in verse. The book was published on 11 November 1904 by Adam & Charles Black, London, and was dedicated “to Biddy OSullivan for a Christmas present”.[1] Wodehouse dedicated books to 43 different people;[2] “Biddy OSullivan” was the last to be traced. Her identity was not known until 2006, when she was identified as the young daughter of Denis OSullivan (1869 1908), an actor and singer who was a friend of Wodehouse in the early 1900s.

    Description Good Reads: Friesshardt and Leuthold lay on the ground beside the pole, feeling very sore and bruised, and thought that perhaps, on the whole, they had better stay there. There was no knowing what the crowd might do after this, if they began to fight again. So they lay on the ground and made no attempt to interfere with the popular rejoicings. What they wanted, as Arnold of Sewa might have said if he had been there, was a few moments complete rest. Leutholds helmet had been hammered with sticks until it was over his eyes and all out of shape, and Friesshardts was very little better.
