Daisy Miller by Henry James, Fiction, Classics - Bok av Henry James - Häftad

It was in Rome during the autumn of 1877; a friend then living there but settled now in a South less weighted with appeals and memories happened to mention -- which she might perfectly not have done -- some simple and uninformed American lady of the previous winter, whose young daughter, a child of nature and of freedom, accompanying her from hotel to hotel, had "picked up" by the wayside, with the best conscience in the world, a good-looking Roman, of vague identity, astonished at his..

Common Sense - An Argument for Independence (Wildside Classics) - Bok av Thomas Paine - Häftad

Common Sense - An Argument for Independence (Wildside Classics) - Bok av Thomas Paine - Häftad

\Common Sense\ presented the American colonists with a powerful argument for independence from British rule at a time when the question of independence was still undecided. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood; forgoing the philosophy and Latin references used by Enlightenment era writers, Paine structured \Common Sense\ like a sermon and relied on Biblical references to make his case to the people. Historian Gordon S. Wood described \Common Sense\ as, \the most..

In the Cage by Henry James, Fiction, Classics, Literary - Bok av Henry James - Häftad

It was always rather quiet at Cocker's while the contingent from Ladle's and Thrupp's and all the other great places were at luncheon, or, as the young men used vulgarly to say, while the animals were feeding. She had forty minutes in advance of this to go home for her own dinner; and when she came back and one of the young men took his turn there was often half an hour during which she could pull out a bit of work or a book -- a book from the place where she borrowed novels, very greasy,..

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, Fiction, Classics - Bok av H. G. Wells - Häftad

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, Fiction, Classics - Bok av H. G. Wells - Häftad

Wells touches gently on time travel as a notion, but mostly The Time Machine is about the terminal future he sees for mankind: His nameless time traveler ventures to the world that will be 802,701 A.D., And there he finds mankind divided among the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi are a gentle, winsome, idle race, who do not labor; the Morlocks, in contrast, are a barbaric race -- who use the Eloi for food. It's a grim vision, and a gripping one. There's a reason that The Time Machine has become a..
