The Myterious Stranger
ISBN: 9781541152557 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Mysterious Stranger CHAPTER I IT was in 1590-winter. Austria was far away from the world, and asleep; it was still the Middle Ages in Austria, and promised to remain so forever. Some even set it away back centuries upon centuries and said that by the mental and spiritual clock it was still the Age of Belief in Austria. But they meant it as a compliment, not a slur, and it was so taken, and we were all proud of it. I remember it well, although I was only a boy; and I remember, too, the pleasure it gave me. Yes, Austria was far from the world, and asleep, and our village was in the middle...

Colin Clink, Volume I (illustrated)
ISBN: 9781541228641 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Affords a capital illustration of the way of the world. For, whereas knaves and fools not unusually take precedence of better men, so this chapter, though placed at the head of a long regiment, is yet inferior to any one that comes after. THE famous John Bunyan, or Bunion, -for the true orthography of this renowned name is much doubted amongst the learned of the present age, -has laid it down as an axiom in that most glorious of all Progresses, the Pilgrim's Progress, that "He that is down, needs fear no fall." And who, in good truth, will undertake to dispute the good pilgrim's remark? Since...

Displays Miss Sowersoft's character in a degree of perfection unparalleled on any previous exhibition.-Fanny's obstinacy incites Mrs. Clink to turn her adrift upon the world. HAVING entered the room, Miss Sowersoft first peeped out to see that no listeners were in the neighbourhood, and then cautiously closed the door, -all the blood in her veins mustering up in red rebellion against poor Fanny, as she stared at that young woman through two dilated eyes, with something of the expression of a hand-grenade with a newly-lit fusee. "Take a chair, Mrs. Clink," said Miss...

Reappearance of an unexpected customer; together with what passed at a certain interview. DAY had pretty well broken as Colin trudged back homewards alone. It was one of those dull, leaden, misty, and chilly mornings, which in a town newly stirring from sleep seems to put the stamp and seal of melancholy upon everything external. The buildings at hand looked black, -those at a distance fused into mere shadows by the density of the windless atmosphere, -while the unextinguished lamps grew red-eyed and dim in the white light that had risen over them. Early labourers were...

The Slim Princess
ISBN: 9781535265379 / Angielski / Miękka / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the fictional land of Morovenia, where large women are considered beautiful while thin ones are unattractive, the 'slim princess' Kalora struggles to attract a suitor until she meets a brash young American. The life of 'The Slim Princess' began in the fertile imagination of the humorist George Ade, (1866-1944) Ade's humor is very much in the traditions of Mark Twain. Ade was a master of American Slang, and has been said to purvey the American colloquial vernacular with sheer masterly turn of phase, his 'Fables in Slang' was one of the important Chicago satires. This story of Princess...

The Pan-American Exposition of 1901 was the launching point for some of the world's greatest innovators and their life-changing inventions. It took place at Rainbow City (located in Buffalo, New York), a wonder of light and color among technological marvels and architectural genius. However, amid the joy and the triumph of science, Rainbow City and the Pan Am Expo of 1901 earned a darker reputation as well. It was there, on the sixth of September, that President William McKinley was shot and mortally wounded. A spectator, and the son of a former slave, named James Parker, who had come to the...

The accumulated longing of Frome ends in an ironic turn of events.

Jerry of the Islands
ISBN: 9781542315173 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. FOREWORD It is a misfortune to some fiction-writers that fiction and unveracity in the average person's mind mean one and the same thing. Several years ago I published a South Sea novel. The action was placed in the Solomon Islands. The action was praised by the critics and reviewers as a highly creditable effort of the imagination. As regards reality-they said there wasn't any. Of course, as every one knew, kinky-haired cannibals no longer obtained on the earth's surface, much less ran around with nothing on, chopping off one another's heads, and, on occasion, a white man's head as well. Now...
