Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (14,605 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Published in 1852, a mere nine years before the start of the US Civil War, Harriet Beecher Stowe's heartbreaking classic "Uncle Tom's Cabin" seeks to unmask the horrors of slavery, revealing the brutalities that those who had not witnessed them could never have imagined, the terrors that those in the thick of it struggled to deny. In her story of suffering, barbarism, hope, and redemption, Stowe won millions to the abolitionist, or anti-slavery, cause in the US, and she created one of the most iconic and enduring novels in American literature. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was not intended to become a full-length novel, but its huge popularity led a publisher to contact Stowe and convince her to expand it. Though already an active abolitionist, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was the impetus for Stowe to write the novel, which became a symbol of the power of literature in social reform. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was the best-selling novel of the nineteenth century and was only outsold by the Bible. The novel became a cultural phenomenon, spawning "Uncle Tom Plays" and giving birth to character tropes "Uncle Tom," "Topsy," "Simon Legree," and others. The novel was banned in many of the Southern states and later in the Confederacy. Its popularity helped spread and strengthen the abolitionist movement throughout the Union. In spite of its role in the anti-slavery movement, the book is not without controversy. It is critiqued for perpetuating racial stereotypes; these negative connections often overshadow its historical significance. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is comprised of two occasionally intersecting plots following Uncle Tom as he is sold down the river and Eliza and George Harris as they make their way north to freedom. Tom and Eliza are both slaves to the Shelby family of Kentucky. The Shelbys are indulgent masters and treat their slaves well. Tom is particularly well-liked by both the family and his fellow slaves for his honest, pious nature. Young George Shelby has a deep fondness ...

Main Street by Sinclair Lewis (420 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

First published in 1920, "Main Street" is a satirical novel written by American writer Sinclair Lewis. Set in the tiny town of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, the story revolves around the trials and tribulations of Carol Milford Kennicott as she struggles to adjust to small-town living. As Carol contends with the small-minded, middle-class customs of her husband's hometown, she envisions transforming the place into a bustling hub of culture, art and commerce. However, Carol is resisted by the provincial nature of the small townsfolk who despise big-city values. Sinclair drew inspiration for the novel from his own time spent in the small town of Sauk Center, Minnesota. Highly acclaimed upon publication, "Main Street" remains a recognized American classic. In 1921, the novel was originally awarded the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. However, the Board of Trustees overruled the jury's decision and awarded the Pulitzer to Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence" instead. In 1930, "Main Street" helped Sinclair become the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 1998, the Modern Library listed "Main Street" #68 on its ranking of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th Century.

If he can convince his friends to stay focused, as the whispers begin, and fight against the evil of the silent world, the fog-shaped beings that wander the empty streets, they may stand a chance.

My first year of college, I was afraid to leave home. I was scared of what would become of my mother. After all, once I left, what would she have? A mediocre job running the office at the elementary school? An event planning business that was limping along? An empty house? She'd already lost my father and her best friend... when they hooked up the first time she left town, to take me on a college tour. Naturally, I felt responsible. How could I abandon her? Still, she gladly dropped me off, assuring me this would be the start of a whole new life and a huge adventure. I thought she was being overly optimistic and visited as often as I could. The second year was easier. I picked my major. I made friends. And we vowed that senior year, we'd rent an apartment together off campus. Sadly, I didn't make it that far. Imagine me, Kenna the people pleaser, kicked out of college my junior year, days after my twenty-first birthday. I was so good, I was boring. I was so straight-laced, I made nuns blush.

The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen by Rudolf Erich Raspe (200 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The stories about Baron Munchausen were first collected and published by an anonymous author in 1781. An English version was published in London in 1785 by Rudolf Erich Raspe as "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen." It is not clear how much of the story material derives from the Baron himself; however, it is known that the majority of the stories are based on folktales that have been in circulation for many centuries before Munchausen's birth. "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" presents a certain eighteenth-century German noble ventured abroad for military service and returned with a series of amusingly outrageous stories. Baron Munchausen's astounding feats included riding cannonballs, traveling to the Moon, and pulling himself out of a bog by his own hair. Since the book appeared readers have been delighted in knowing about these unlikely adventures. Hence, by the nineteenth century, the tales had undergone expansions and transformations by several notable authors and had been translated into many languages. A figure as colourful as the Baron naturally appeals to the artistic imagination, and he has been depicted in numerous works of art. His definitive visual image, however, belongs to Gustave Doré.

"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.
