El Diablo: Max Reeves Book 5: Classic Western and Frontier Adventure (Max Reeves, Classic Western and Frontier Adventure) by Robert Harvey (1,919 Review)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

Max Reeves was continuing his exploration of the frontier territories. The wild towns, meeting pilgrims who had travelled from the East to make better lives for themselves by carving out farms and homesteads from the wilderness. In some respects the gunfighter had mellowed over the years and found chatting with folk not such a burden, although he'd never much to say. All the hard fighting and chasing down outlaws had taken their toll. He had scars all over his body in testament to his physical toughness in a fight. His solitary figure and the wild Black stallion war horse he rode were the stuff of stories and legend in many parts of the West. Max paid them no attention and never stayed long anywhere. It would be a mistake to do so and a lesson he'd learned the hard way. There was always some gunslinger looking to make a reputation as the slayer of Max Reeves, bounty hunter and protector of the weak and innocent. Bushwhackers most of them. Better to keep moving. Now there was trouble at the Mexican Border - looting, killing, stealing and then crossing back to Mexico and out of the reach of the US Marshalls. The leader was a phantom, and they needed someone to find him. There was only one man for this job, but Randy Wade knew that talking wasn't going to convince Reeves to join the Marshalls. When Patty Maguire turned up Max knew for sure there was trouble brewing for him. Patty had made a name for herself in law enforcement with the Pinkerton Agency. She had come a long way from the young girl he first met in Silverton. And that is how Max finds himself in Mexico with Wolf. Things are not looking good! Just when he thinks he's got it figured, another double cross. But they don't know who they are dealing with. He is the judge and jury, and with his 2 peacemakers justice will be served.

The Pilgrim's Progress: The Unabridged and Complete Edition (John Bunyan Classics) by John Bunyan (558 Reviews)    Price verified 57 minutes ago

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English literature and a progenitor of the narrative aspect of Christian media. It has been translated into more than 200 languages and never been out of print. It appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727. The first North American edition was issued in 1681. It has also been cited as the first novel written in English. According to literary editor Robert McCrum, "there's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as C. S. Lewis, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, George Bernard Shaw, William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck and Enid Blyton. The words on which the hymn "To be a Pilgrim" is based come from the novel. Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county prison for violations of the Conventicle Act of 1664, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars such as John Brown believed The Pilgrim's Progress was begun in Bunyan's second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675, but more recent scholars such as Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyan's initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660 to 1672 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.

Set against the backdrop of the vibrant 1920s, this iconic novel delves into themes of love, wealth, ambition, and the tragic consequences of a society driven by materialism.

The Knights of the Cross by Henryk Sienkiewicz (E-BOOKARAMA) (19 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"The Knights of the Cross" (or "The Teutonic Knights"; Krzy?acy in Polish) is a 1900 historical novel, an epic of medieval times and national destiny, ranked as one of the highest achievements from the pen of Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Literature Nobel Prize winner in 1905. "The Knights of the Cross" follows the adventures of Macko, a resourceful and wise veteran of war, and his young nephew, Zbyszko, the symbol of a maturing nation, as they struggle, along with the unified peoples of Poland and Lithuania, against the oppressive religious military Order (Knights of the Cross/Teutonic Knights). In a tavern inn Zbyszko falls in love with the lovely Danusia, who is traveling with the court of the Duchess Anna. He swears to her his knight's oath and promises to bring her 'three trophies' from the Teutonic Knights. Regarded as the most outstanding and prolific Polish writer of the second half of the nineteenth century, Henryk Sienkiewicz is perhaps best known for his epic historical novel "Quo Vadis", which depicts early Christianity and the persecutions. Sienkiewicz was known for his gigantic scenes, bright contrasts and the epic sweep of his works. He was a master in creating mass-action scenes and battles.

The eNotated Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll (eNotated Classics) (594 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Though most ebooks are simple conversions of paper books, "The eNotated Hunting of the Snark" is a completely new approach that takes advantage of ebook technology by providing comprehensive eNotations (electronic annotations), essays, and background information conveniently accessible through links and a active table of contents. Written by Pam Sowers, researcher, journalist, and long-time "Snark" fan, this background biographical, historical, and interpretive information reveals a "Hunting of the Snark" not visible to most readers. Sowers notes in her introduction that Snark is "a poem that 'describes with infinite humour the impossible journey of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature,'" a kind of "'Odyssey of the Nonsensical'" that "unlike the 'Alice' books, is not intended only for children", adding that "through the decades, 'the poem has continued to attract a small cult following of adult readers.'" Comparing Snark to "Through the Looking Glass," Sowers say "Much of the poem shares words and ideas that first were used in the poem 'Jabberwocky' in 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.'" but with "'less exuberance and wordplay and more adult fear and anxiety throughout' Despite having the overall theme of a quest, as 'Jabberwocky,' did, in 'Snark' there is 'none of the triumphant joy of the earlier ballad, since the hunt ends this time in failure,' as eventually adults must acknowledge that all lives end in death. Carroll was reminded of this physical fact daily; despite his faith, he was facing the unknown of this final transition, and wrote it out metaphorically in this poem. The author tried to face this with his former exuberance, but knew he was dancing against the coming darkness." Sowers has written her eNotations with several different audiences in mind: "A young reader might just read through the main text and look at the pictures, while a slightly older reader might read the definitions as well: so much of the ...

La croisade des enfants (French Edition) by Marcel Schwob (Bibebook) (14 Reviews)    Price verified 38 minutes ago

Schwob donna au Journal, de février à avril 1895, l'ensemble des récits constituant son livre, édité au Mercure de France, en 1896, à 500 exemplaires. Cette croisade serait issue d'une curieuse narration, de quelques phrases latines d'une chronique du temps de Saint Louis racontant de façon sibylline le passage de pèlerins ignorants, armés de leur seule naïveté. Ils voulurent gagner Jérusalem et disparurent mystérieusement dans une tempête. Mais le fait historique de cette désastreuse entreprise s'est révélé authentique. Vers 1212, des milliers d'enfants partirent pour la Terre sainte et furent pour la plupart massacrés avant même de pouvoir embarquer. Cela se passait peu avant l'appel, par le pape Innocent III, de la cinquième croisade. Extrait : Ce sont des enfants sauvages et ignorants. Ils errent vers je ne sais quoi. Ils ont foi en Jérusalem. Je pense que Jérusalem est loin, et Notre-Seigneur doit être plus près de nous. Ils n'arriveront pas à Jérusalem. Mais Jérusalem arrivera à eux. Comme à moi. La fin de toutes choses saintes est dans la joie. Notre-Seigneur est ici, sur cette épine rougie, et sur ma bouche, et dans ma pauvre parole. Car je pense à lui et son Sépulcre est dans ma pensée. Amen. Je me coucherai ici au soleil. C'est un endroit saint. Les pieds de Notre-Seigneur ont sanctifié tous les endroits. Je dormirai. Jésus fasse dormir le soir tous ces petits enfants blancs qui portent la croix. En vérité, je le lui dis. J'ai grand sommeil.

Voici la seconde oeuvre de Lautréamont, qui connu aussi peu de succès que la première de son vivant, jusqu'à ce que cet auteur soit redécouvert par les surréalistes et en particulier André Breton. L'épigraphe placée en tête du premier fascicule présente l'oeuvre comme une palinodie: «Je remplace la mélancolie par le courage, le doute par la certitude, le désespoir par l'espoir, la méchanceté par le bien, les plaintes par le devoir, le scepticisme par la foi, les sophismes par la froideur du calme et l'orgueil par la modestie.» Cette profession de foi mérite cependant d'être considérée avec prudence dans la mesure où le recueil utilise largement l'ironie. Chaque énoncé se trouve ainsi placé sous le régime du doute et pourvu d'un sens toujours éventuellement réversible. Le titre même de l'ouvrage semble une sorte d'«antititre» puisque la dédicace parodique qui apparaît sur la deuxième page présente l'?uvre comme constituée de «prosaïques morceaux».

La maîtresse (French Edition) by Jules Renard (Bibebook) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Jules Renard naît en Mayenne : son père y travaillait à ce moment-là à la construction du chemin de fer. Il a vécu tout ce qu'il a écrit. Dans ses ?uvres ou son Journal, il écrit tout ce qu'il vit, pour ne pas le dire ni le laisser paraître. Il écrit aussi pour briller et ne plus douter de lui-même, car ses parents ne l'ont guère aimé. Et bientôt, à ses inquiétudes s'en joint une autre : la peur de trahir la vérité par l'emploi des mauvais mots ou de trop de mots. Pendant une grande partie de sa vie, une question l'obsède : faut-il préférer l'exactitude d'une phrase ou la beauté poétique d'une image ? Extrait : Voici. Je veux bien vous aimer, quelque temps, longtemps, oui, toujours. Je consens à devenir votre maîtresse, une excellente maîtresse, mais je ne serai pas heureuse si je ne suis pas tranquille. Promettez-moi de m'aimer paisiblement, ou rompons tout de suite. Je me connais : à la première dispute, vous me sembleriez étranger. Il y va de ma santé. Mon médecin m'ordonne le repos. Au moindre trouble, je ne mange plus, et j'ai des migraines tellement violentes, que j'évite jusqu'à la chaleur du lit. Bref, plutôt que d'aimer et d'être aimée en état de guerre, je préfère ne pas être aimée et ne pas aimer.

Martial Procas est un scientifique reconnu, spécialiste des microbes pathogènes. De plus il est beau et le tout-Paris, en particulier féminin, accourt à ses conférences universitaires. Un jour, une belle Américaine attire son regard et il tombe éperdument amoureux de cette femme qui se révèle une aventurière et le quitte quelques semaines à peine après leur mariage. Quand il s'en rend compte, Procas est victime d'une crise très grave, un cas de cyanose dû à un rétrécissement de l'artère pulmonaire. Procas prend une teinte bleue qui ne le quittera plus. Dès lors, victime de la haine de ses semblables, il doit fuir car «rien n'était impressionnant comme cette face qui semblait celle d'un cadavre en décomposition et qui était cependant éclairée par deux yeux jeunes où se lisaient la douleur de vivre encore et l'exaspération de ne plus compter parmi les vivants... ». Extrait : Tout à coup il s'arrêta. Un portrait de Meg accroché au mur le regardait de ses grands yeux étonnés. Il le contempla quelques instants, puis baissa lentement la tête, comprimant de ses deux mains les battements désordonnés de son c?ur. Maintenant que sa fureur était calmée, que sa haine avait fait place à un grand abattement, il se sentait devenir lâche, et si Meg fût revenue à cet instant, peut-être se serait-il jeté à ses pieds comme un coupable. Il regarda de nouveau le portrait, la poitrine secouée de petits sanglots convulsifs, puis passa dans le salon, qui s'illumina dès qu'il en ouvrit la porte. Le piano était demeuré ouvert et, sur le pupitre, s'étalait encore une berceuse de Grieg, qu'il aimait à entendre et qu'il faisait souvent jouer à Meg, car il trouvait à cette mélodie un charme mélancolique et doux, dont son c?ur d'amant était étrangement troublé.

Adolphe (French Edition) by Benjamin Constant (Bibebook) (55 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Grand classique du roman d'amour, voici l'histoire malheureuse de Adolphe et Ellénore : Il l'a aimé tout de suite et avec passion... Mais, le coeur des hommes est souvent «girouette»... Elle l'a aimé trop tard, et pour son malheur... Extrait : Offerte à mes regards dans un moment où mon c?ur avait besoin d'amour, ma vanité de succès, Ellénore me parut une conquête digne de moi. Elle-même trouva du plaisir dans la société d'un homme différent de ceux qu'elle avait vus jusqu'alors. Son cercle s'était composé de quelques amis ou parents de son amant et de leurs femmes, que l'ascendant du comte de P ** avait forcées à recevoir sa maîtresse. Les maris étaient dépourvus de sentiments aussi bien que d'idées ; les femmes ne différaient de leurs maris que par une médiocrité plus inquiète et plus agitée, parce qu'elles n'avaient pas, comme eux, cette tranquillité d'esprit qui résulte de l'occupation et de la régularité des affaires. Une plaisanterie plus légère, une conversation plus variée, un mélange particulier de mélancolie et de gaieté, de découragement et d'intérêt, d'enthousiasme et d'ironie étonnèrent et attachèrent Ellénore. Elle parlait plusieurs langues, imparfaitement à la vérité, mais toujours avec vivacité, quelquefois avec grâce. Ses idées semblaient se faire jour à travers les obstacles, et sortir de cette lutte plus agréables, plus naïves et plus neuves ; car les idiomes étrangers rajeunissent les pensées, et les débarrassent de ces tournures qui les font paraître tour à tour communes et affectées. Nous lisions ensemble des poètes anglais ; nous nous promenions ensemble. J'allais souvent la voir le matin ; j'y retournais le soir ; je causais avec elle sur mille sujets.

Les chants de Maldoror (French Edition) by Le Comte De Lautréamont (Bibebook) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Les Chants de Maldoror sont un ouvrage en prose, composé de six parties (« chants ») et publié en 1869 par Isidore Ducasse sous le pseudonyme de Comte de Lautréamont. Le livre ne raconte pas une histoire unique et cohérente, mais est constitué d'une suite d'épisodes dont le fil conducteur est la présence de Maldoror, personnage maléfique doué de pouvoirs surnaturels. Le texte est fondé sur une esthétique de la rupture : chaque strophe peut être lue comme un fragment poétique autonome et aucun fil linéaire, qu'il soit narratif, descriptif ou discursif, n'est suivi bien longtemps. Il s'agit d'un brûlot, «politiquement incorrect», qui ne fut pas du goût des bien-pensants de l'époque. Nourri de violences, d'idées morbides et de délire - peste, pus et poux... - ce texte énigmatique et fascinant, ce texte de la démesure donne le vertige, et parfois un peu la nausée...

With Fire And Sword. Book I: The Uprising (Eastern Kingdom Series 1) by Henryk Sienkiewicz (apebook) (141 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The main character of the book, the young nobleman Jan Skrzetuski, or Pan Jan for short, is caught in the middle of the beginning Cossack uprising under the legendary Bogdan Chmelnitzky. Along the way he also falls in love with the beautiful princess Helena, who is also desired by a Cossack officer. In the course of the book the conflict begins to take serious forms, Pan Jan meets most of the main characters on his travels and missions through Eastern Europe. Personal rivalries, chases on horseback, duels, drinking bouts, epic dialogues and great battles (which no normal European has ever heard of before) are also part of the book. As a reader, you live the tragic story of the kingdom, which in the end is destroyed by internal conflicts. This civil war, by the way, caused several million deaths - when reading the book it becomes clear why. Maybe it is necessary to warn potential readers that 17th century warfare in this region was extremely brutal and unless you can tolerate occasional descriptions of horrifying activities, perhaps you should not choose this novel. In the course of prosecuting this revolution or attempting to put it down local villages and Manor homes will be torched. There will be stories of widespread use of violence including the use of stakes, fire and torture to murder populations. Both sides will overindulge in the spilling of innocent blood. But if you can stand that you will be benefitted with excellent characterizations, an exceptionally tense and well-plotted love story intertwined with the basic plot. "The Uprising" is the first book of the epic trilogy WITH FIRE AND SWORD by Nobel Prize winner Henryk Sienkiewicz. It deals with the uprising of the Cossacks against the Poles in 1648. It is a world forgotten in Central Europe, which was ruled by a kingdom in personal union (Poland-Lithuania). The size of this first part of the first trilogy of The EASTERN KINGDOM Series is about 300 pages.

Marry Me For Money Book 1 by Ali Parker (BrixBaxter Publishing) (299 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

I need a wife. Now. It doesn't have to do with love and living the good life. This is all about getting the money my billionaire father left to me. And I'm running out of time. But who proposes to a stranger after the first date? Me. That's who. As if I have another choice. Luck is on my side though, and a beautiful model shows up in my office. Single? Gorgeous? Funny? All of the above. Our first date goes so well that I feel unsure about my decision to do this thing with her -- you know, fake it. I put it off and decide to do it later, to ask for her help after we get to know each other better. But I like her more and more each time we meet, and eventually, offering her a ring isn't for my dad's money -- it's because I want her more than anything else in the world. Besides, who's going to know if it's fake or real? And does it really matter? Yeah. It does. To her... This is book 1 of a trilogy. There is a cliffhanger at the end. You will have to buy book 2 and 3 to finish the story.

The eNotated Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (38 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Though most ebooks are simple conversions of paper books, "The eNotated Alice in Wonderland" is a completely new approach that takes advantage of ebook technology by providing comprehensive eNotations (electronic annotations), essays, and background information conveniently accessible through links and a active table of contents. Written by Pam Sowers, researcher, journalist, and long-time "Alice" fan, this background biographical, historical, and interpretive information reveals an "Alice" not visible to most readers. Says Sowers, "This book is for adults as well as children. 'Alice in Wonderland' is not simply a sweet children's story set in dreamland. It is much more complex. Themes include death, racism, politics, anger, confusion, logic and women's roles. Carroll wrote in a world controlled by Victorian sensibilities." One hundred fifty years ago, Charles Dodgson, joined a party boating from Oxford to Godstow that included three little girls, Alice Liddell and her sisters. In charge of entertainment, Dodgson told the girls a story that with Alice's encouragement became "Alice in Wonderland," published three years later under the pen name Lewis Carroll. Immediately popular and published in hundreds of variously illustrated editions reaching millions of readers over generations, "Alice" has over time become less accessible than it was to Carroll's Victorian contemporaries. Sowers's eNotations supply the tacit background Alice knew but we don't, revealing the humor, insight, and fun of this many-layered complex book. This eNotated Classics sesquicentennial edition of "Alice" contains more than 90 illustrations, most in color, from the most beloved editions of Alice as well as more than 360 eNotations, an introduction, two fascinating essays, an extensive bibliography, and a chronology showing where Carroll and "Alice" fit in their times. If you read Alice as a child, you'll be amazed on reading the eNotated edition how much you missed and can now ...

The Holy War (Updated, Illustrated): Made by Shaddai upon Diabolus for the Regaining of the Metropolis of the World (Bunyan Updated Classics Book 2) by John Bunyan (Aneko Press) (716 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

More than 100 Original Illustrations Bonus Content: The Life of John Bunyan, by William Brock For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the lords of this age, rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens. (Ephesians 6:12) What if you were able to see your life from a spiritual perspective and see the actual reality of the verse above? How does our enemy, Diabolus, plan and carry out his attacks? How do his demons help, and what are their objectives? Why and how must we petition Emmanuel to get His attention and help in this great, holy war? Written four years after The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan followed up with this second allegorical classic, which has touched hearts and minds of readers for generations. The epicenter of this book is the town of Mansoul, its people (such as Conscience, Self-Denial, and Do-Right), and its gates (Eye-gate, Ear-gate, Mouth-gate, Nose-gate, and Feel-gate). The attack by Diabolus and his demons, all of whom have appropriate names, is carefully planned and executed. As still happens to men today, Mansoul fell hard. Emmanuel is of course willing to help, but can only do so on special, seemingly strict terms. As you watch this intense battle unfold, you'll be emboldened to fight with new vigilance, to guard the gates with tenacity, and to rely on Emmanuel's sovereignty like never before. It should be noted that John Bunyan focused not so much on biblical sequence or even perfect accuracy in every aspect. Instead, he honed in specifically on the spiritual battle being waged for each individual soul, filling in other details as needed to create the scenes. In this edition, we updated the text to clarify the meaning of each scene and inserted Bible verses in key areas to bring to light the depth and spiritual meaning of this powerful allegory. About the Author John Bunyan was born in November 1628, in Elstow, England. A celebrated English minister and ...

Joseph Conrad's 1904 adventure novel, set amid the mist-covered mountains of a fictional South American republic, spins a colorful tale of capitalist exploitation and rebellion. The story begins halfway through the revolution, employing flashbacks and glimpses of the future to depict the lure of silver and its effects on men -- corrupting and destroying some, revealing the strengths of others. Conrad's deep moral consciousness and masterful narrative technique are at their best in Nostromo, one of his greatest works.
