Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray, Fiction, Classics - Bok av William Makepeace Thackeray - Inbunden

BARRY LYNDON was to be hailed by competent critics as one of Thackeray's finest performances, though the author himself seems to have had no strong regard for the story. His daughter has recorded, \My father once said to me when I was a girl: 'You needn't read Barry Lyndon, you won't like it.' Indeed, it is scarcely a book to like, but one to admire and to wonder at for its consummate power and mastery.\ Mr. Leslie Stephen says: \All later critics have recognized in this book one of his most powerful..

The Country of the Blind and Other Stories by H. G. Wells, Science Fiction, Classics, Short Stories - Bok av H. G. Wells - Inbunden

It crept into one's mind, a distress as vague..
