Having discovered their remote and isolated country, Quatermain and his crew become embroiled in its internal affairs, culminating in a bitter and violent civil war.

Legends of Vancouver was originally published around 1910 as a series of newspaper articles based on stories related by Johnson's friend, Chief Joe Capilano of the Squamish people. It is the first collection of native legends retold by a native artist and has become a classic of Canadian literature.

"Jacob's Room," penned by the renowned author Virginia Woolf, is a milestone in modernist literature. As one of the significant Virginia Woolf books, the novel showcases her pioneering writing style and the profound exploration of the human condition.The novel centers around Jacob Flanders, a young man whose life and death are depicted through a series of fragmented scenes and impressions from different perspectives. This unique narrative technique marks the novel as a fundamental piece of stream-of-consciousness literature.Woolf's depiction of Jacob's life in pre-war England provides an evocative portrayal of the era's social norms and expectations. With its intricate exploration of societal norms, Jacob's Room is an engaging read for those interested in social critique literature and early 20th-century British narratives.While Jacob is the central figure, readers never hear directly from him. Instead, they learn about him through the observations of those around him. This innovative narrative approach offers an intricate study of character perception in literature.The novel is also a commentary on the futility and destruction of war, making it a relevant read for those interested in war critique literature. It questions the waste of young lives, like Jacob's, making the narrative a poignant reflection on the human cost of conflict.Woolf's deep exploration of identity, perception, and society in "Jacob's Room" demonstrates her enduring influence on literature. Its innovative narrative, multifaceted characters, and insightful commentary on society and war make it a thought-provoking and engaging read, continuing to resonate with readers to this day.

"Gamiani, ou Deux Nuits d'excès" est une ¿uvre érotique du poète et dramaturge français Alfred de Musset. Écrite en 1833, elle a été publiée de manière anonyme et attribuée à tort à l'écrivain italien Nicolas-Edme Rétif de la Bretonne.L'histoire est racontée par un narrateur anonyme qui rencontre une mystérieuse femme nommée Gamiani. Cette dernière lui raconte ses expériences sexuelles les plus intimes et scandaleuses au cours de deux nuits. Gamiani décrit en détail ses relations avec deux autres femmes, Fanny et Alcide.Les échanges entre le narrateur et Gamiani explorent des thèmes érotiques, tels que la passion, la luxure et le désir, et sont explicitement sexuels. L'¿uvre est considérée comme pornographique et a été controversée depuis sa publication."Gamiani" a été écrite à une époque où les ¿uvres érotiques étaient souvent publiées de manière anonyme, et Musset n'a jamais revendiqué la paternité de cette ¿uvre. Bien que son style d'écriture soit reconnaissable, "Gamiani" reste l'une des ¿uvres les plus controversées et méconnues d'Alfred de Musset.

The setting of A Passage to India is the British Raj, at a time of racial tension heightened by the burgeoning Indian independence movement. Adela Quested, a young British subject, is visiting India to decide whether to marry a suitor who works there as a city magistrate. During her visit, a local physician, Aziz, is accused of assaulting her. His trial brings tensions between the British rulers and their Indian subjects to a head.The novel is a complex exploration of colonialism, written at a time when the popular portrayal of the Indian continent was of mystery and savagery. Forster humanized the Indian people for his at-home British audience, highlighting the damage that colonialism caused not just to interpersonal relationships, but to society at large. On the other hand, some modern scholars view the failure of the human relationships in the book as suggesting a fundamental ¿otherness¿ between the two cultures: a gulf across which the disparate cultures can only see each other¿s shadows. In any case, the novel generated¿and continues to generate¿an abundant amount of critical analysis.A Passage to India is the last novel Forster published in his lifetime, and it frequently appears in ¿best-of¿ lists of literature: The Modern Library selected it as one of its 100 great works of the 20th century, Time magazine included it in its ¿All Time 100 Novels¿ list, and it won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.

In 1839, Thoreau and his brother took a small boat upriver and back. Some years later, while in his cabin at Walden Pond, he gathered his notes from that journey and other writings from his journals, and composed this, his first book.Like the rivers it describes, the book meanders through varying territories and climates. He writes of the natural surroundings they encounter and of the history of the region, but also takes long and remarkable detours through topics like friendship, history, a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism, Vedic literature, government and conscience, Thoreaüs philosophy of literature, monuments and graveyards, poetry (in particular Ossian, Chaucer, and certain minor Greek poets), and the satires of Aulus Persius Flaccus. Thoreau also includes several poems of his own.Thoreau had the first edition of this book published at his own expense, and at first it struggled to find an audience. ¿I have now a library of nearly 900 volumes,¿ he remarked at one point, ¿over 700 of which I wrote myself.¿

A Sicilian Romance begins when a tourist meets a local monk at the crumbling ruins of the castle Mazzini. The monk invites her to the monastery to view a manuscript that records the mysterious happenings that occurred hundreds of years ago in the once-great castle. The manuscript tells of the plight of two sisters, Julia and Emilia Mazzini, who, after the return of their tyrannical father, witness supernatural phenomena around the castle¿s neglected southern wing.Radcliffe was viewed as the greatest writer of the Gothic literary style by most early 19th century critics and literary historians despite Horace Walpole seemingly ¿inventing¿ the genre in The Castle of Otranto. A Sicilian Romance was first published anonymously in 1790, making it the second of her published works.

A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder is perhaps James De Mille¿s most popular book; sadly, De Mille didn¿t get to see this novel grow in popularity, as it was first serialized posthumously, in Harper¿s Weekly. De Mille had written the novel before the ¿lost world¿ genre had become saturated, meaning many of the ideas were fresh and original for the time in which it was written. But, since he didn¿t succeed in publishing it during his lifetime, by the time the novel was made public other authors like H. Rider Haggard had made the ideas and plot clichéd.The novel itself tells the tale of a shipwrecked sailor, Adam More, who passes through a mysterious underground passage into a hidden land deep in the Antarctic, kept warm by a hidden volcano. The land is populated by an ancient civilization whose views on life and wealth are the polar opposite of those held in British society of the time¿they view death and poverty as the highest religious and social achievements. As More adventures through the strange land, he encounters fantastic dinosaurs, lovelorn princesses, and the classic kind of adventure that foreshadows the pulp novels of the next century.

¿Bunny¿ Manders is drawn to fill the void left by A. J. Raffles¿ absence at the end of The Black Mask with untold stories of the past adventures. These tales are perhaps ones that Bunny is most ashamed of, but among the regrets lie threads of future happiness.The public popularity of Raffles, fuelled by stage and film adaptations in the intervening years, lead to this continuation of his saga in 1905. A Thief in the Night, with the exception of the last two stories, is set in the same period as the events of The Amateur Cracksman.

Alice Adams is Booth Tarkington¿s second novel to win a Pulitzer Prize, just three years after his novel The Magnificent Ambersons won it. The novel tells the story of Alice, a Midwestern girl who grows up in a lower-middle-class family just after World War I. Alice meets a wealthy young man and tries to win his affection, despite her lower-class upbringing.Alice Adams was twice adapted for film, with the second adaptation starring Katherine Hepburn and earning a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

After London presents a version of England many generations after an apocalyptic event has drastically depopulated the country, leaving nature to take back the land and human survivors to scrape what they can from their surroundings. Petty kings and corrupt republics rule from the region around the lake that has formed in the middle of the country. Wild men hide in the woods. Society has regressed to a way of life similar to the medieval age.The novel is told in two parts. The first details what¿s known of the fall of civilization, while the second part follows the son of a baron as he sets off to explore beyond the kingdom he was born into. Nature, civilization, violence, poverty, exploitation, and exploration are major themes.Richard Jefferies wrote the novel toward the end of his life. It combines the nature writing he is traditionally known for, with a fantastical science fiction setting, making it an early example of post-apocalyptic fiction. The surreal exploration of the former site of London bears a striking resemblance to the aftermath of a nuclear explosion, decades before the atomic bomb was created.After London was an inspiration for William Morris, who said ¿absurd hopes curled around my heart as I read it.¿ Morris would go on to reference the pastoralism present in After London in his utopian novel News From Nowhere.

On hearing the title A Voyage to Arcturus, one might picture an astronaut strapping themselves into a rocket and flying into space for a swashbuckling adventure. Nothing could be further from what this book actually is.Voyage is in fact a fascinating, bizarre, bewildering, and thought-provoking sort of acid-fueled Pilgrim¿s Progress: a philosophical allegory told through the frame of a psychedelic gender-bending journey to an alien planet.After a terrifying séance, the protagonist, Maskull, is offered the chance of an adventure on a different world. He agrees, and the reader follows him on his blood-soaked path through lands representing different philosophies and ways of life as he searches for the world¿s godhead, Surtur. Or is it Crystalman?Voyage features fiction wildly ahead of its time, and is hardly classifiable as either science fiction or fantasy; one might even say that the book is better approached as a philosophical work than a straightforward narrative. It¿s not a book for a reader seeking simple fiction, but rather for a reader seeking a thoughtful, imaginative, and totally unexpected exploration of philosophy and of life.Decades ahead of its time, Voyage was praised by contemporaries like C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, and by modern authors like Clive Barker and Alan Moore. Many modern reviewers consider it a masterpiece of 20th century fiction and the work of an underappreciated genius. A century later it boasts a significant cult following, having inspired movies, plays, albums, and even operas, as well as a modern sequel by famous literary critic Harold Bloom¿the only work of fiction he ever wrote.

Ailing, neurotic, and bored with the world, the nobleman Des Esseintes retreats to a secluded cottage in the French countryside. Determined to shun all contact with other people¿demanding that even his live-in domestics must wear face-covering robes in his presence¿he throws himself into an all-out celebration of the ultimate in artificial and unnatural pleasure. Surrendering to religious and profane literature, morbid paintings, overwhelming perfumes, expensive liquor, grotesque flowers, and reminiscences of his depraved past brings him unsurpassable pleasure, but his mental and physical condition may not be able to keep up.When Huysmans wrote Against the Grain, he did so to move away from the creative restrictions he felt the Naturalist school of literature imposed on him. According to him, ¿it limited itself to depicting common existence, and struggled, under the pretext of being true to life, to create characters who would be as close as possible to the average run of mankind.¿ Instead, he dedicated Naturalism¿s attention to detail to just one extraordinary, perverse individual, Des Esseintes¿fully expecting the resulting work to fail critically and commercially.That the novel would become a scandalous success, and would define Decadence as a movement and ideology, was far beyond his expectations. Oscar Wilde was a well-known admirer of the novel, and drew heavily from it to write The Picture of Dorian Gray. During his trial in 1895, Wilde all but confirmed that the ¿poisonous French novel¿ in his work refers to Against the Grain.This Standard Ebooks edition is based on the first unabridged English edition, which was translated anonymously and published by Groves & Michaux in 1926. It reinstates passages that were considered too obscene in previous editions, and includes a preface Huysmans wrote twenty years after the first publication of the book.

Basil March jumps at the chance to leave his boring job to become the founding editor of a new magazine. But this also means that he must leave comfortable Boston for the confusion and chaos of 1890s New York. As March and his wife try to find a decent place to live, he also struggles to find contributors and readers. The Marches are quickly drawn into the tangled lives of their fellow New Yorkers: a bitter German socialist who lost his hand fighting for the Union in the Civil War, a colonel nostalgic for slavery, Bohemian artists, increasingly desperate workers on strike, a slick publicist, a starchy society family, and a wealthy farmer-turned-speculator who hurts those he loves most.Born in Ohio, William Dean Howells was a highly successful magazine editor before he became a full-time writer. He believed that this midlife novel, which draws on his own family¿s experiences moving from Boston to New York, was his ¿most vital work.¿ Mark Twain, whom Howells helped early in his career, called A Hazard of New Fortunes ¿the exactest & truest portrayal of New York and New York life ever written ¿ a great book.¿

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce¿s first novel, published after the previous success of his short story collection Dubliners. The novel is written in a modernist style, with dialog and narration blending together in a kind of stream-of-consciousness meant to invoke the blurriness of memory.Joyce originally planned writing a realist autobiographical novel of 63 chapters titled Stephen Hero. He abandoned the attempt halfway through, and refocused his efforts on Portrait, a shorter, sharper work in the modernist style. His alter-ego remained Stephen Dedalus, named after Daedalus, the mythological Greek craftsman and father of Icarus. Portrait was written while he was waiting for Dubliners to be published, a process that took eight years and so frustrated Joyce that he once threw the manuscript of Portrait into a fire, causing his family to run to save it.The novel closely traces Joyce¿s early years. Like his alter-ego Stephen, Joyce was born into a middle-class family and lived in Dublin as they descended into poverty; he rebelled against his Irish Catholic upbringing to become a star student at Dublin University, and put aside thoughts of priesthood or medicine, the other careers offered him, to become a writer. Joyce doesn¿t shy away from sensitive topics, presenting the discoveries of youth in all of their physical detail, including Stephen¿s teenage visits to prostitutes (which also mirror Joyce¿s youth, and were how he probably contracted the suspected syphilis that plagued his vision and tortured his health for the rest of his life), and the homosexual explorations of children at a Jesuit school.The writing is in the free indirect style, allowing the narrator to both focus on Stephen and present characters and events through his eyes, until the last chapter, where Stephen¿s first-person diary entries suggest he¿s finally found his voice. As the novel progresses, the syntax and vocabulary also grow in complexity, reflecting Stephen¿s own development.Of Joyce¿s three novels, Portrait is the most straightforward and accessible. But it remains just as rich and complex as any masterpiece, with critics across generations hailing it as work of unique beauty and perception.

A Man Could Stand Up¿ opens on Armistice Day, with Valentine Wannop learning that her love, Christopher Tietjens, has returned to London from the front. As she prepares to meet him, the narrative suddenly shifts time and place to earlier in the year, with Tietjens commanding a group of soldiers in a trench somewhere in the war zone. Tietjens leads his company bravely as they shelter from the constant German strafes, before the narrative again jumps to conclude with an actual Armistice Day celebration.In this simple narrative Ford creates dense, complex character studies of Valentine and Tietjens. Tietjens, often called ¿the last Tory¿ for his staunch and unwavering approach to honor, duty, and fidelity, has changed greatly from the man he was in the previous installments in the series. Ford explores the psychological horror that the Great War inflicted on its combatants through the lens of Valentine¿s gentle curiosity about Tietjen¿s time on the front: men returned from battle injured not just in body, but in soul, too. The constant, unrelenting shelling, the endless strafes, the clouds of poison gas, the instant death of friends and comrades for no reason at all, the muddy and grim entrenchments where men lived and died¿all of these permanently changed soldiers in ways that previous wars didn¿t. Now the ¿last Tory¿ wants nothing more than to retreat from society and live a quiet life with the woman he loves¿who is not his wife.As we follow Valentine and Tietjens through the last day of the war, we see how the Great War was not just the destruction of men, but of an entire era.

Auguste Comte, considered by some to be the first ¿philosopher of science,¿ was perhaps most famous for founding the theory of Positivism: a framework of thinking and living meant to engender unity across humanity, backed by love, science, and intellect.Positivism itself is a combination philosophy and way of life. Here Comte lays down the various tenets of the philosophy, describing what he views as the six major characteristics of the system. Comte goes into surprising detail, going so far as to describe minutiae like how children should be educated, the structure of a unified global committee of nations, new flags, calendars, the role of the arts, and so on. He ends the book with what he calls the ¿Religion of Humanity,¿ a secular religion meant to replace the traditional religions that people of the time were becoming disillusioned with.The book and the theory are both very much products of the time. Comte was born around the end of the French Revolution, and lived in Paris during that time when republican ideas, respect for science, and a revolutionary and forward-thinking spirit made fertile ground for change. He viewed Positivism as the single solution to most of the problems of the day, including Communism, the plight of the working class, the shift away from traditional religion, and the constant war and strife that had plagued humanity.Comte¿s theories gained a huge following: you might even recognize the Positivist motto, ¿Order and Progress,¿ inscribed on Brazil¿s national flag. While Positivism and its executive arm, the Church of Humanity, today only seem to survive in any significant number in Brazil¿and even there in a greatly declined state¿its theories were hugely influential in the emergence of many ¿ethical societies¿ and secular church movements around the globe.
