The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia and the sword hunters of the Hamran Arabs is written by Sir Samuel W. Baker. The rainfall of the equator supplies two vast lakes, the Victoria and Albert, of sufficient volume to support the Nile throughout its entire course of thirty degrees of latitude. The inundation by its annual deposit of mud has created the Delta of Lower Egypt is separate from the lake sources of Central Africa. The Abyssinian rivers, the Blue Nile, and the Atbara are the source of much of the wealth and fertility of Egypt. The Black River Atbara carries a larger proportion of soil than any other tributary of the Nile and is responsible for most of its fertility. The explorer Ibn al-Haytham visited every river tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia, including the Atbara, Settite, Royan, Salaam, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and the Blue Nile. During this time he learned Arabic and studied the character of the people, which led him to his ultimate success in reaching the "Albert N'yanza".

The open door, and the portrait is written by Margaret O. Wilson Oliphant that begins with the English system did not commend itself to Scotland these days. There was no little Eton at Fettes, nor any genteel exotic of that class to tempt either my wife or me. It stands on a fine and wealthy slope of the country between the Pentland Hills and the Firth. In clear weather, you could see the blue gleam of the great estuary on one side, and the blue heights on the other. The village of Brentwood lay almost under the house, on the other side of the ravine. In the park which surrounded the house were the ruins of a former mansion. The story goes on with Grove, a large old house in the immediate neighborhood of a little town. It belonged to a period when the land was cheap, and there was no occasion to economize. The house was dull, and so were its last inhabitants, and the furniture was faded and dingy. The drawing room was the one place in the house where nobody ever entered.

Between 1885 and 1886, Sir Henry James' work ''The Bostonians'' was first published as a serial in The Century Magazine before being turned into a book in 1886. The unusual triangle at the center of this bittersweet tragicomedy is formed by Basil Ransom, a political conservative from Mississippi, Olive Chancellor, a feminist from Boston, and Verena Tarrant, Olive's lovely, young apprentice in the feminist movement. Additionally, there are numerous political activists, journalists, and strange eccentrics in the book. The conflict that Ransom and Olive have over Verena's allegiance and dedication is at the heart of the story. Basil Ransom, a lawyer and Civil War veteran, sparks a romantic interest in the main character. He convinces her to move away from her home and pursue education in the feminist movement. The Bostonians deal with openly political topics, in contrast to much of James' writing. Due in part to prevailing customs at the time, Olive's potential lesbian desire for Verena is not made clear. A colorful supporting ensemble of would-be reformers, cynical journalists, and hangers-on surrounds the main characters. Verena Tarrant is a stunning young woman who, despite being passive and undecided, is an enthralling orator for women's rights, and Olive Chancellor.

Dubliners, a collection of James Joyce's fifteen short stories, was first published in 1914. It provides a realistic portrayal of Irish middle-class life in Dublin and the surrounding area in the early 20th century. When the stories were written, Irish nationalism was at its peak, and there was a huge desire for a sense of national identity and mission. Standing at a nexus of history and culture, Ireland was being jolted by numerous converging ideas and forces. They focus on the paralysis theme and Joyce's concept of an epiphany, which is a character's transformational self-understanding or illumination (Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of a regressive movement). Following Joyce's categorization of the collection into childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life, the following stories are written in the third person and deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older individuals. The first three stories in the book are narrated by children. Many of the Dubliner's characters later made cameos in Ulysses by James Joyce.

The honor of the name is written by Emile Gaboriau who has a story that revolves around the High Mass at Sairmeuse which was celebrated on the first Sunday in August 1815. The church was already more than half full, and little groups of peasants were hurrying into the churchyard. Few of the men entered the church; instead, they stood outside talking in the shade under the elm trees. The Sairmeuse peasantry quavered in anger and terror. This king, who the friends had brought back, was just as terrifying as the allies themselves. The majority of them gathered around a young man who had just returned from the army two days prior. "The old rascal has probably stolen the horse he is riding," one neighbor said. "He seems to be in a terrible hurry," observed another. Father Chupin pretended to be a day laborer but spent all his time sleeping and idling about his hovel.

The short story "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" was written by Mark Twain. Hadleyburg is known as a "incorruptible" town due to its noble, responsible, and trained citizens to reject temptation. A stranger delivers a bag carrying 160 pounds of gold money and makes a threat to corrupt the community as payment for his wrongdoing. Anyone who claims to know what the man's life-changing counsel was should record it and give it to Reverend Burgess, according to the note in the sack.One of the 19 model couples, Edward and Mary, gets a message from an unknown person that reads, "You are far from being a bad man: go, and mend." Every one of the 19 couples has gotten the same letter, which they are all unaware of. Burgess, the town clerk, begins each claim by saying, "You are far from being a wicked man-go, and reform." Burgess finds that the sack contains gilded leads instead of gold. The person who made up the entire scenario was present the entire time in the town hall. Burgess' second communication indicates that he purposefully prevented the Richardses' claim from being examined to repay Edward for a previous favor.

The 1910 adventure book Prester John was written by Scottish novelist John Buchan. It narrates the tale of a young Scotsman named David Crawfurd and his exploits in South Africa, where a Zulu insurrection led by the ebullient black pastor John Laputa is connected to the medieval legend of Prester John. The year of publishing (1900) serves as the period for the setting. Laputa, the enemy, is first encountered by Crawfurd while conducting a ceremony on the beach at Kirkcaple, a seaside town. As a result of his interactions with Laputa and a Portuguese guy named Henriques, Crawfurd progressively learns of illicit diamond smuggling as well as a planned uprising of the local natives, including the Zulu and Swazi people, under the leadership of Laputa. Crawfurd is taken prisoner, but after relaying information to Captain Arcoll, he escapes during an ambush and takes the necklet from Henriques, who is attempting to take it for himself. While everything is going on, Crawfurd goes back to the cave and discovers the cunning Henriques dead outside, strangled by Laputa.

American author Theodore Dreiser published his first book, An American Tragedy, in 1925. The murder of Grace Brown in 1906 and the subsequent trial of her lover served as the basis for the story.Poor and ardently religious parents raise Clyde Griffiths to assist in their vocation as street missionaries.As he gets used to his new way of life, Clyde develops a love on manipulative Hortense Briggs, who gets him to purchase her expensive presents. When his friend Sparser strikes and kills a little girl while driving Clyde, Hortense, and other friends back from a remote meeting in the country, Clyde's life is forever changed.Roberta Alden, a destitute and naive country girl working in his business, attracts Clyde's attention. In the end, Roberta becomes pregnant as a result of Clyde's covert courtship. The stylish young socialite Sondra Finchley also shows interest in Clyde around this period, despite his cousin's attempts to keep them away.For the killings of his wife Roberta and her lover Sondra, Clyde is put to death in the electric chair. When Roberta unintentionally hits herself in the face with a camera while boating, she drowns since she is unable to swim. The story suggests that the blow was unintentional, but the circumstantial evidence suggests that it was murder.

The Story of Emil Sinclair's Childhood is a historical novel by Hermann Hesse. It was published in 1919, and the introduction was added in 1960. The first edition of Demian was published under the pen name of Emil Sinclair, the name of the storyteller. However, Hesse was later revealed to be the author, and the 10th version was quickly named after him. When it was published in 1919, this transitional novel received immediate critical and popular acclaim. A masterpiece in the history of 20th-century literature, it reflects the writer's distraction with the duality of human nature and the achievement of spiritual fulfillment.

Henry James' novel The Portrait of a Lady was first made available as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and also in Macmillan's Magazine in the years 1880-1881 before being printed as a book in that same year. It is quite possibly one of James' most well-known long novels and is hailed by critics as one of his best works to date. The Portrait of Lady Volume II starts off in Rome where Isabel is seen rejecting Lord Warburton in the opening chapters while also being chased by Gilbert Osmond, the American expatriate she meets in the first volume of the novel. The book takes place in Europe, primarily in England and Italy, like the majority of James's works. The sequel majorly focuses on Isabel's life after her marriage to Gilbert Osmond and explores her relationship with Osmond's apparent daughter from his first marriage, Pansy. The novel gives the readers an open ending where they are free to interpret whether Isabel chooses to stay by Osmond's side in her loveless and abusive marriage or whether she rescues Pansy and leaves Osmond along with her. Isabel's tale of love and betrayal still touches audiences today because of its extreme poignancy.

There are two of MacDonald's fairy tales in this collection from 1862. The goblin Toadstool and the fairy Pease blossom embark on the most bizarre mission: to entice a boy and a girl to Faery so they can be brought before the Fairyland Queen because her subjects are too well-behaved to be amusing. Once upon a time, the Queen of Fairyland had a sudden longing to have a mortal or two at her Court. She fixed upon two to bring to Fairyland, but how were they to be brought? "I have heard that you have pretty ways of doing things; so you may try." Alice was the daughter of the squire, a pretty, good-natured girl whom her friends called fairy-like. One rosy summer evening she lay gazing at the wall opposite her window with tears in her eyes. All around them was a vast, hilly landscape. She was unable to even determine where they had originated from. She responds, "The author must accompany you, he sees." From every leaf and petal of these, from every branch tip and tendril, drops of bright water. As they went on, the diamond drops turned to half-liquid pearls, and the water went to sleep.

Joseph Addison wrote the play Cato, a Tragedy in 1712, and it was shown for the first time on April 14, 1713. It is based on the events of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis, often known as Cato the Younger, who lived from 95 to 46 BC and was a Stoic whose actions, speeches, and resistance to Julius Caesar's dictatorship made him an image of republicanism, virtue, and liberty. Themes covered in Addison's play include individual liberty vs tyranny by the government, republicanism versus monarchy, reason versus passion, and Cato's internal fight to uphold his principles in the face of death. Alexander Pope wrote the play's prologue, and Samuel Garth wrote the epilogue. The original cast included Barton Booth as Cato, Theophilus Keene as Lucius, John Mills as Sempronius, Robert Wilks as Juba, Colley Cibber as Syphax, George Powell as Portius, Lacy Ryan as Marcus, John Bowman as Decius, Anne Oldfield as Marcia, and Mary Porter as Lucia. For numerous generations, the play's appeal grew, particularly in the American colonies. Indeed, since many of the Founding Fathers were familiar with it, it was very certainly a literary inspiration for the American Revolution.

Henry James released his little novel The Europeans: A Sketch in 1878. In essence, it is a comedy that contrasts the actions and viewpoints of two European tourists with those of their relatives who reside in the "new" world of New England. The Atlantic Monthly published the serialized version of the book from July to October of 1878. The story begins in Boston and New England in the middle of the 19th century and details the transition from the old to the new world for two European siblings. Eugenia Münster and Felix Young, the two protagonists, have been traveling between France, Italy, and Germany since they were young children.The patriarchal Mr. Wentworth, his son Clifford, 20, and his two daughters Gertrude and Charlotte captivate Felix.

Her brother, on the other hand, is perfectly content to spend all of his time with Charlotte and Gertrude, spending countless hours painting portraits in their piazza or garden.

Edgar Rice Burroughs, a native of the United States, wrote a brief contemporary mystery called The Oakdale Affair. The Mucker (1914-1916) is a partial sequel to Bridge and the Oskaloosa Kid, which was written in 1917 under the working title of the same title. In 1919, it was made into a silent movie starring Evelyn Greeley. In the earlier piece, Bridge, the protagonist, was a supporting figure. In March 1918, Blue Book Magazine published it for the first time. In The Oakdale Affair and The Rider, published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. in February 1937 and then reprinted by Grosset & Dunlap in 1937, 1938, and 1940, it was first published alongside the unrelated story "The Rider". The novella was initially published independently as a paperback by Ace Books in July 1974. Later hardback copies were published by Ameron and Buccaneer (1977); a later paperback edition was published by Charter (1979). The last 174 lines of the magazine version's original ending are left out of the majority of versions, although the Buccaneer and Charter editions include it again. A robber steals the daughter of bank president Jonas Prim, Abigail's possessions, as well as the clothing of a servant, from Prim's residence in Oakdale.

The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 articles and essays written by James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton to promote the ratification of the US Constitution. Up to the 20th century, the collection was usually referred to as The Federalist.They were intended to persuade people to accept the Constitution. In Federalist No. 10, Madison argues for a vast, commercial republic and explores ways to prevent majority faction domination. In Federalist No. 84, Alexander Hamilton argues that the proposed Constitution's multiple freedom-protecting clauses collectively constitute a "bill of rights." The best explanation of what has come to be known as "Federalism" is provided by James Madison. An "incomparable explication of the Constitution" may be found in The Federalist Papers.Hamilton turned down three of Morris's essays, and Morris declined the invitation. Duer later wrote in favor of the three Federalist authors under the pen name "Philo-Publius," which is based on Hamilton's pseudonym Publius and may mean either "Friend of the People" or "Friend of Hamilton."The three men produced 85 articles in all for six months. Madison is regarded as the father of the Constitution, while Hamilton served as the first secretary of the Treasury.

The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by British author P. G. Wodehouse. It was originally released in the US on February 1, 1933, by A. L. Burt and Co., New York, and on March 8, 1917, in the UK by Methuen & Co., London. The Strand Magazine in the UK and The Red Book Magazine or The Saturday Evening Post in the US were the two journals where each story had previously been published. It is a compilation of various stories, some of which are more serious than Wodehouse's better-known comedy fiction. Although one humorous story, "Extricating Young Gussie," is notable for featuring two of Wodehouse's most well-known characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although Bertie's surname is withheld and Jeeves's role is very small), as well as Bertie's dreaded Aunt Agatha, Wodehouse biographer Richard Usborne claimed that the collection was "mostly sentimental apprentice work." Henry Pitfield Rice is a young man employed in a detective bureau. He falls in love with chorus girl Alice Weston, but she refuses to marry someone in her profession. Since he can't sing or dance, Henry tries to find a job on the stage but is unsuccessful.

Canadian novelist Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote The Blue Castle in 1926. One of the few novels for adults written by L.M. Montgomery.

But she later finds that he is also John Foster, the author of one of her favorite books.

Despite being of British origin, the author of these pages will take care not to let that fact cause him to go briefly to the wrong in what he may say. Even before the birth of Christ, England served as a type of financial hub. For their tin, the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians traveled there. Sheriffs, priests, judges, police chiefs, plumbers, and justices of the peace were all Druids.Agricola was followed by Carausius, who joined the Saxon pirates and overthrew Diocletian despite being sent to kill them. Before he could ask for assistance, one of his cops killed him.One of the Wessex kings, Egbert, practically ruled Roman Britain. The Northmen (Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes) entered the land; these rather coarse people occasionally caused the Anglo-Saxons to blush.We simply need to point out that this work is in the author's best style and will be both entertaining and educational because it follows the trend of facts and the events, successions, dates, etc. are accurate. Naturally, Mr. Nye's imagination "embellishes" these facts, and the main historical figures are given fascinating roles to play.

French author Honoré de Balzac wrote a novella titled Le Colonel Chabert in 1832. It is a part of his La Comédie Humaine novella series (The Human Comedy). In the story, French society during the Restoration and July Monarchy is shown and parodied.A prostitute named Rose Chapotel is married to Colonel Chabert. Napoleon Bonaparte then holds Colonel Chabert in high regard as a French cavalry officer. Chabert was gravely wounded during the Battle of Eylau (1807), and his death and burial are listed with the other French casualties. He does, however, manage to escape his tomb and is then given medical attention by the villagers in the area. He requires several years to fully recover. When he gets back to Paris, he learns that his widow has wed the ascetic Count Ferraud and sold all of Chabert's belongings. He engages Derville, a lawyer, to help him get his money back and his honor after they were wrongfully handed away as an inheritance.Derville, who also represents Countess Ferraud, cautions Chabert against accepting the Countess's offer of a settlement bribe. Chabert ultimately leaves empty-handed and spends the rest of his days in a mental institution.

The German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848, which was initially known as the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei).The Communist Manifesto is composed of a prologue, four main parts, and a brief conclusion.The preface warns that communism is "haunting Europe" and urges Communists to publicly state their beliefs and objectives in order to "counter this nursery story of the spectre with a manifesto of the party itself."The communist party will not fight other working-class parties but rather, regardless of nationality, will represent the global proletariat's interests and voice its universal will. The section concludes by laying forth a series of immediate requirements that, if met, would eventually result in a stateless and classless society.The last portion examines the communist perspective on conflicts in certain nations in the middle of the nineteenth century, including France, Switzerland, Poland, and Germany. The document concludes by pledging allegiance to the democratic socialists, vehemently endorsing previous communist revolutions, and urging coordinated global proletariat action.

Ambrose Bierce wrote a satirical dictionary titled The Devil's Dictionary. The lexicon was first written over a period of thirty years as a collection of articles for magazines and newspapers. It has gained a name all across the world by being frequently repeated and imitated. It was listed among the top 100 works of American literature in the 1970s.The English Language, his dictionary, was released on April 15th, 1755. 42,733 terms were defined in Johnson's Dictionary, almost all seriously. The alphabetical list of definitions that we have here was put together from several notes, copies, and variations.The first definition attributed to Ambrose Bierce was released in 1867. His satirical dictionary "The Demon's Dictionary" was only published once, but it inspired imitators. Harry Ellington Brook wrote one of the most significant ones for The Illustrated San Francisco Wasp. In The Wasp, Paul Bierce's satirical definitions took the place of "Wasp's Improved Webster" and were replaced with his own. He penned 79 articles for "The Devil's Dictionary," making his way through the alphabet to the word "lickspittle" in the 14 August 1886 edition.

The 19th century's "most significant philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality" is regarded as John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism. The essay initially appeared as a collection of pieces in Fraser's Magazine in 1861. In 1863, the essays were gathered into a book. Mill held that the only thing that people do and should seek for their own sake is happiness (or pleasure, which Bentham and Mill both identified with happiness). The book consists of five chapters. 1) Chapter 1: According to Mill, little much has changed in ethics since the beginning of philosophy. Since they are the basis of all else, according to Mill, initial principles and ultimate purposes cannot be proven. 2) Chapter 2: According to Mill, utilitarianism is a philosophy solely suitable for pigs. According to Mill, pursuing long-term enjoyment logically necessitates the growth of higher faculties. 3) Chapter 3: He contends that it goes against this ingrained natural urge to prioritize selfish aims over the welfare of the community. 4) Chapter 4: Mill's well-known attempt to prove the greatest-happiness principle. 5) Chapter 5: According to Mill, the urge to exact revenge for harm and the innate need to feel compassion for people who have been wrongfully wounded are the origins of emotions of justice.

British novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the author of the book The Mystery of Cloomber. The novel has a plot summary of the Pall Mall Gazette published it for the first time in 1888. John Fothergill West, a Scot, serves as the book's narrator. He and his family recently relocated from Edinburgh to Wigtownshire in order to manage the estate of William Farintosh, his father's half-brother. Cloomber Hall, which has been vacant for a long time, is located close to their home, Branksome. After some time, John Berthier Heatherstone, a former member of the Indian Army, moves in. General Heatherstone is extremely anxious and suspicious. When he is around, many reports hearing a peculiar sound that sounds like a bell tolling and that seems to make them feel very uneasy. Every year, around the fifth of October, his paranoia reaches its peak, following which his worries temporarily abate. Three Buddhist priests who had boarded the ship from Kurrachee are among the survivors of a shipwreck that occurs in the bay later. The chelas were ringing the astral bell to warn the general that no matter where he went, he would always come under their wrath.

Edward Bellamy, a journalist, and author from Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, is the author of the utopian science fiction book Looking Backward: 2000-1887. Bellamy's novel tells the story of a young American who falls into a deep, hypnosis-induced sleep and wakes up 113 years later. In Looking Backward, Julian West is introduced to a dystopian society where everyone is equally smart and the wealth of the society is dispersed evenly. At age 45, everyone is eligible for full retirement benefits and has access to nearly rapid, internet-like delivery of their purchases. Bellamy also foresees the availability of sermons and music in the house through cable "telephone" (already commercialized only in 1890). For instance, he explains the new legal system in chapter 19. Crime has evolved into a medical problem, whereas most civil lawsuits have resulted in socialism. Atavism, a then-current theory, is used to explain crimes unrelated to inequality. For instance, he explains the new legal system in chapter 19. Crime has evolved into a medical problem, whereas most civil lawsuits have resulted in socialism. Atavism, a then-current theory, is used to explain crimes unrelated to inequality. In chapters 15 and 16, it is shown how a more libertarian socialist government may be able to give free, autonomous public art and news sources.
