A Little Princess [Secure Mobipocket]
by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Lisa Gardiner
|
|
A Little Princess moves adroitly between "fantasy" and "reality," playing with the categories until the reader is pleasantly unsure which is which. It is this toying at the edge that makes the story so appealing to children because it encourages them to believe that their own ordinary lives could be filled with "magic." Looking out of her dreary attic at the hostile setting of gothic London, Sara Crewe uses her imagination to create a secret world.

In his discussion of the changing climate of Europe over the course of the war, Keynes criticizes the Treaty of Versailles, explaining it does not offer a solution to financial rehabilitation for individual countries and for the Allies as a g... more info>> (Published: 2003)

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse [Secure Microsoft Reader]
by Vicente Blasco Ibanez
|
|
A classic tale of good and evil, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse holds a mirror up to human nature. It questions man's will in the face of dire consequences--war, conquest, famine, and death--showing that some men and women rise to the occasion and other predictably shrivel under the hoofs of earthly desires. A Spanish war novel of courage during times of impending doom, it prompts readers to take a deeper look into their own psyches (Published: 2003)

The Frontier in American History [Secure Microsoft Reader/Adobe]
by Chris Vedelago, Frederick Jackson Turner

More than a century has passed since America's relentless expansion across the continent concluded with the disappearance of the frontier. The integration of this experience into mainstream historiography began with the work of Frederick Jackson Turner in the late nineteenth century. His observations, embodied in The Frontier in American History, changed traditional assumptions about the development of the United States, as well as established a new methodology for historical inquiry.

The Renaissance [Secure Microsoft Reader/Adobe]
by Walter Pater, J. D. Ballam, Ph.D.

Walter Pater's Studies in the History of the Renaissance was one of the most talked about books in nineteenth-century Britain, and it remains a work of unusual importance to anyone interested in art history or English literature. Pater's luxurious and finely wrought style inspired generations of writers, and his unique blend of scholarship, philosophy, and personal bias made his view of the quintessential "spirit of the renaissance" a key subject for subsequent aesthetic debate.
