The August night was dark, and Beacon Street, with its double chain of lighting, appeared to be a foreshortened desert. Because "everyone" was out of town, it's possible that the servants were profaning the tables in their excess of leisure. A leisurely passage-which at that time of year would probably also be a lovely one-was a guarantee of ten to twelve days of fresh air because America was sweltering and England would very well be stuffy. It was also clear that one was old and the other was young, and that their differences did not preclude them from becoming mother and daughter. One of the guests in Mrs. Nettlepoint's home described how "low" Mr. Mavis Porterfield had been; the other, a young girl, was too upset by the thought of being left alone with her frail, maybe terminally ill father to care for him. The Patagonia was slow but spacious and comfortable, and there was motherly decency in her long nursing rock and her rustling old-fashioned gait. It seems as though she didn't want to arrive in port with the splashing enthusiasm of a youthful creature.

Sometimes we choke on the hors d'oeuvres at a biblical meal and miss the main course. The rich, profound, and uplifting message of biblical scriptures serves as the main course. In the end, you leave the biblical truth banquet feeling hungry and frustrated.Three appetizers are presented to us in today's devotional reading from the Bible, but they actually side dishes rather than main meals.If a person does not make an effort, he is left to do evil and pay the price. Our sinful ideas are our living sins, while our wrongdoings are our dead works.In response to his forerunner's skepticism, the Lord sent a messenger back who had witnessed what he was doing in order to awaken or strengthen his understanding that his kingdom was not of this world.The Lord's remarks seemed to indicate that he didn't need to worry about his own security. There are numerous explanations for why Jesus of Nazareth was discovered in God's temple.Gospel is the good news that even the greatest sinners have hope-hope for reconciliation, forgiveness, and holiness. It is alive and active, piercing to the division of the soul and spirit, and sharper than a two-edged sword.

The Secret Passage is a fantastic murder mystery by Fergus Hume. It has contrived another of his hide-and-seek, jack-o'-lantern murder mysteries. The story starts with an elderly, wealthy, and queer woman who was found stabbed to death on her chair with no sign of the culprit. Then, there are so many new clues that even the fictional investigator is perplexed. Then almost everyone is shown to be someone else using an alias, and all the leads are in vain.Young Susan Grant, who is looking for work, turns up at Miss Loach's house, Rose Cottage.

One day, after having afternoon tea with Juliet, Mrs. Octagon brings up her sister, whose peaceful existence she much disapproves of. Her husband unexpectedly enters the room at this precise time with the news of Miss Loach's murder.Was it Susan, whose prior experience working for a shady Spaniard seems dubious at best? Was it Mrs. Octagon, who always reacted with the worst of insults when she brought up her sister?

This book tells the history of the United States, starting with European explorers rather than the Native Americans who had been inhabiting the region we now name North America for generations. The book describes the achievements of the brave, clever, and powerful men (and a few women) who founded the colonies that later developed into the states that eventually gave rise to the current nation.In general, it paints the Native Americans as barbaric, uncivilized, and vicious. As you read, consider why it could be crucial for a white lady of European ancestry to write for children in England or the US to view Native Americans in this manner. What does it reveal about the people, the country, and the terrain at the time? H.E. Marshall, the author, wrote from a Protestant point of view. Nothing in her writing implies that she intentionally set to be anti-Catholic, but it is clear that her Protestant background and her sense of the truth had an impact on her writing. The advantages of adopting this book exceed any drawbacks, which can be quickly resolved by debate and careful editing.

Bram Stoker wrote a short story named "Dracula's Guest." A young Englishman is followed in "Dracula's Guest" as he travels to Transylvania. The young guy subsequently leaves his carriage and walks off, disregarding the hotel owner's advice to arrive on time. After a few hours, it starts to snow as he approaches a barren valley; as a dark storm intensifies, he seeks refuge in a forest of cypress and yew trees. Soon, the moonlight reveals his location as a cemetery, and he finds himself in front of a marble tomb with a huge iron spike embedded in the roof. The Englishman's problems are still far from over. As he slowly comes to his senses after the ordeal, he experiences a feeling of disgust that he associates with a warm sensation in his chest and the licking of his throat. The horsemen who first discover the Englishman unconscious in a tomb describe him as an animal that is "a wolf-and yet not a wolf." Additionally, they observe that blood is on the tomb while his neck is unblooded. When the men later return the Englishman to his hotel, they tell him that it was none other than his eager host Count Dracula who had sent a telegram warning the Maître d'hôtel of "dangers from snow and wolves and night."

When Rhoda Gray, "The White Moll," tries to rescue Gypsy Nan, who is not who she seems to be in The White Moll, she gets lured into the criminal underworld. Rhoda Gray is an angel of mercy who spends her time helping the needy in the slums of New York City. She fights the evilest criminal group in the New York underground while being accused of a crime and running from the police in order to establish her innocence. This narrative has shootouts, car chases, adventure, and enough suspense and deceit to please even the most ardent mystery enthusiast. It is populated with characters like Pierre Dangler, the Pug, Pinkie Bonn, Skeeny, the Sparrow, and, most all, "the Adventurer."There was a little stack of very large-denomination banknotes within, the top.

The only book by Packard featuring a female protagonist is The White Moll.

About six extremely spiced novels by Mr. Sigismund Smith were published, and they were quite well received by the classes who prefer their literature as strongly flavored as their tobacco. Except when he found himself on the shelf of a newsvendor, very oily and dog-eared at the edges, he always appeared in weekly numbers for a cent a week. The maid-of-all-work visited the greengrocer's and came back with a boy who appeared filthy and a truck. Mr. Lansdell had returned from Lowlands, but he avoided the grey old estate where the Earl and his daughter were wallowing in a depressing and financially precarious situation. The carpet bag, luggage, and trunks belonging to Mrs. Judkin's son were loaded into the truck before he left, leaving them in Sigismund's care.Smooth glades, enchanting waterfalls, and gorgeous landscape gardening effects like those at Mordred Priory are absent from Lowlands. For the past 150 years, the Earls of Ruysdale have mostly lagged behind the rest of the world. Only a dense layer of woodland surrounded the old red-brick home, unaltered by the merciless handicraft of modern development.

American author Charles Willing Beale's horror book The Ghost of Guir House was first released in 1897. This is a pretty erratic "story" that alternates between a theosophical philosophy explanation and a gothic romance. A captivating romantic plot is balanced by a sense of mystery and possibly even evil, and there are three main characters that are really well-developed despite being slightly quirky. The plot is kept alive by the author until the very end of the book, but it is shelved by protracted discussions on occult concepts like hypnotism and emanationist between two of the characters. The book starts out as a respectable ghost story before turning into a societal critique that extols the virtues of socialism. Charles Willing Beale wrote a gritty mystery romance titled The Ghost of Guir House. But instead of writing in the traditional Gothic style, the author explores moral, psychological, and then theosophical considerations. Long conversations between the three people in the book-who are encased in a spooky house-include the author's thoughts.

Harold MacGrath wrote the 1920 American book The Drums of Jeopardy. The Saturday Evening Post began publishing the story in serial form in January 1920. The book was adapted into a Broadway play in 1922 and a movie the following year. In 1931, a second film adaptation was released. It is reported that a young Boris Karloff, who had previously played a few uncredited cinema roles, got his stage name from a Russian mad scientist character named "Boris Karlov" in this book for his first screen credit in 1920. The character played by Wallace Beery in the film adaptation was originally called "Boris Karlov" from MacGrath's book, but by 1923, actor Boris Karloff had adopted the variation with a similar pronunciation. Less than a year before Frankenstein would make Boris Karloff a household name for generations, the name of the mad scientist was restored to "Boris Karloff" in the 1931 film adaptation with Warner Oland portraying the role. Ironically, Boris Karloff appeared in cinema as numerous insane scientists but never as "Boris Karlov."

H. G. Wells wrote and published the book, Ann Veronica a modern love story in 1909. It talks of Ann Veronica Stanley's uprising against her middle-class father's strict patriarchal control as "a young woman of about two-and-twenty." The New Woman's issue in modern society is dramatized in the book. Except for a vacation to the mountains, it takes place in Victorian-era London and its surroundings. Ann Veronica provides snapshots of the British women's suffrage struggle and includes a chapter that was motivated by the suffragettes' failed effort to storm Parliament in 1908. The story revolves around her father who forbids her from attending a ball, she leaves home to live independently. She borrows money from an older man to study and falls in love with Capes, the laboratory's "demonstrator". Due to the heroine's feminist sympathies and the romance Wells was having with Amber Reeves, the woman who served as the inspiration for Ann Veronica, the book caused a sensation when it was released in the autumn of 1909. Even though the book now seems fairly mild-mannered, Ann Veronica was criticized as "capable of poisoning the minds of people who read it" by The Spectator in its day as being a scandalous work.

Edgar Wallace, a British author, published his first mystery book, The Clue of the Twisted Candle, in 1918. A rich benefactor lures famed mystery author John Lexman into a murderous scheme in this story, but Lexman is ultimately betrayed and imprisoned. When his buddy, Scotland Yard Commissioner T.X. Meredith, tries to show that the murderer was tricked into doing the crime, the man only manages to escape from jail. A number of unexpected things happen as a result of the events.Edgar Wallace could complete a novel in three days while writing The Clue of the Twisted Candle on wax cylinders while sipping tea and smoking cigarettes. Even though the story is inconsistent, it is excellent entertainment that never becomes tedious or irritatingly implausible. The relationship between T.X. and Mr. Kara's secretary is also developing, and Edgar deserves praise for his ability to write strong, capable female characters.

Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha: An Indian Novel, published in 1922, is about a man named Siddhartha's spiritual quest of self-discovery during the time of the Gautama Buddha. It was Hesse's ninth book and was written in a straightforward, lyrical style in German. It was released in the United States in 1951, and it gained popularity in the 1960s. Hesse wrote it as a tribute to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin, and to Romain Rolland in the first section. The Sanskrit words Siddha (achieved) and artha (what was sought after), which make up the name Siddhartha, collectively mean "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has achieved his objectives. Actually, the Buddha was known as Siddhartha Gautama when he was the prince of Kapilavastu. The story takes place in the historic kingdom of Kapilavastu in Nepal. Siddhartha makes the decision to forsake his house in the pursuit of enlightenment through asceticism as an animal roaming beggar. Together with his best friend Govinda, Siddhartha abstains from food, abandons his home, gives up all of his possessions, and engages in prolonged meditation before seeking out and speaking with Gautama, the renowned Buddha or Enlightened One.

The further adventures of Jimmie Dale is an Interesting tale of a young man who broke into safes at night to rob people and return their money to them. He learned about this from a woman, who then sent him letters with directions on how to proceed. After some time, the same situation started to repeat itself. And when he eventually discovered who she was and fell in love, it seemed like the conclusion was overly sentimental. The story of the book starts with a character, Foo Sen kindly assigned him a bunk, and he reclined on it. Opium's sweet, sickening aroma filled the air, which was also dense with low, odd noises. And these sounds, when taken as a whole and coming from unknown sources, were like the ominous and sinister proof of some foul and grotesque presence; when they were broken down, they became the swish of hangings, the swish of slippered, shuffling feet, the stertorous breathing of a sleeper, the clink of coins as though men were playing, the tinkle of glass, the murmur of voices, the restless stir of!

The British author Ford Madox Ford published a book titled ''The Good Soldier'' is a Tale of Passion in 1915. It takes place just before World War I and details the tragedy of Edward Ashburnham's marriage, which on the surface seemed flawless, as well as that of his two American friends. The book's narrative is told in a non-chronological order of flashbacks; Ford's groundbreaking interpretation of literary impressionism included this literary trick. Ford successfully employs the tactic of the unreliable narrator as the main character gradually reveals a version of events that is considerably different from what the beginning leads the reader to assume. The book was based somewhat on two instances of infidelity as well as Ford's complicated personal life. The Saddest Story was the book's initial title, but the publishers requested a change when World War I broke out. Ford coined the satirical phrase "The Good Soldier," and it became popular. On the Modern Library's 1998 list of the top 100 English-language books released during the 20th century, The Good Soldier was ranked number thirty. The BBC ranked the best 100 British books of 2015, and The Good Soldier came in at number thirteen.

England, My England is a collection of short stories published by D. H. Lawrence. Between 1913 and 1921, various pieces were initially written, many of them against the backdrop of World War I. Most of these versions were printed in periodicals or newspapers. Later, Lawrence chose ten and thoroughly rewrote them for the book England, My England. Thomas Seltzer in the US released this on October 24th, 1922. Martin Secker released the first UK edition in 1924. An Englishwoman is left with her husband's parents while he is away at war.

The Ebb-Tide a trio and Quartette is written by two authors who are Robert Louis Stevenson and his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. The book came out the year Stevenson passed away. In Tahiti's port city of Papeete, there are three beggars at work. They are Huish, a dishonest Cockney with several jobs, Herrick, a failing English businessman, Davis, an embittered American sea captain, and Herrick. One day, a champagne-carrying schooner sailing from San Francisco to Sydney off course lands in port with its crew members dead from smallpox. The American consul hires Davis to take charge of the ship for the duration of its journey because no one else is ready to take a chance on getting sick. Davis introduces the other two guys with a plan to take the ship, sail it to Peru, sell the cargo and ship, and then vanish with the proceeds. Once at sea, Davis and Huish begin consuming the cargo and are drunk virtually the entire time. Herrick, who has no prior experience at sea and whose conscience is much unsettled by the scheme but feels he has no other means to escape poverty, is left on his own to oversee the ship.

Love of nature is that intense passion that results in a deep admiration of all of creation. Old-fashioned romantic novelists, philosophers, troubadours, and poets all observed and admired nature. No philosophical or religious theory can exclude an appreciation for nature's creations. Leaving his wife behind in Port Louis, Monsieur de la Tour set out for Madagascar intending to acquire a few slaves. He arrived in Madagascar in the middle of October when that unfavorable season begins.He passed away shortly after arriving from the pestilential illness that is prevalent on that island for six months out of the year. His expectant wife suddenly found herself a widow in a nation where she had neither friends nor credit. Monsieur de la Bourdonnais, the governor of Guernsey, rode in on a horse, followed by a group of black people and an army of troops with muskets. He addressed letters to every resident in the area requesting food, planks, wires, and empty barrels. He also ordered fires to be lit at specific intervals along the strand.

Herland is a book written by Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman about folk culture. The book starts with a story based on a scientific expedition, I became fascinated with the legends and folk myths of these scattered tribes. They spoke of a strange country where no men lived, only women and girl children. It was dangerous, deadly, for any man to go there; but there were tales of long ago when some brave investigator had seen it. Jeffrey Eugenides: T. O. Without drawing any more attention than a snip in the society section, Nicholson could put up his large steam yacht, load a large motorboat that was expressly made for it, and tuck in a "disassembled" biplane. A long ocean cruise is a great opportunity for conversation, and this time there were no listeners. They followed us while sailing low, quartering, and observing the country. They saw land in a state of perfect cultivation, where even the forests looked as if they were cared for" It was quite easy to see afterward that the wisest course of action would have been to thoroughly research the nation before leaving our swooping airship.

The second book of his Growth trilogy, The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington, was published in 1918. It was made into the 1925 silent picture Pampered Youth after winning the Pulitzer Prize for literature. Orson Welles wrote and directed the movie that was released in 1942. A television adaptation based on Welles' screenplay debuted much later, in 2002. The rise of industrial tycoons and other new money families, who gain influence not through family names but by "doing things," contrasts with the demise of the Ambersons. At the turn of the century, the titular family is the wealthiest and most influential in the community. The patriarch's grandson, George Amberson Minafer, is pampered by his mother, Isabel. George falls in love with Lucy Morgan, a young but astute debutante, despite his conceit, self-assurance, and complete ignorance of the lives of others.

Industry prospers as the village develops into a city, the Ambersons' fame and fortune decline, and the Morgans, due to Lucy's foresightful father, prosper. Life as George knows it ends when he thwarts his widowed mother's developing feelings for Lucy's father.

All of Palestine's rulers, Herod Agrippa, held a feast in Claudius' honor. High civilization has never been so fully united with the lowest savagery, not even in ancient Mexico. Rome personified had no conscience; she was an intelligent, opulent beast with a lusty appetite, making her even more ferocious. The time went rather slowly, but nobody stopped by to bother them. Rachel woke up three hours after midday, feeling energized but hungry, and she had nothing except raw grain to offer her. Inquiring about her mistress's approval, she related all that had happened. To her, they were all known as "Uncle," with their name appended if she happened to know it, or just as Uncle.If the sun had risen, she was unsure of how she would have survived the rest of the day. Julia, Gallus's wife, was sitting in her bed-chamber on the morning after the Triumph, gazing out at the Tiber's emerald waters. The day before, while mingling with the Roman populace, she had witnessed her beloved Miriam trudging through Rome's streets. Then, when she could take it no longer, she left for home, leaving Gallus to see the drama's last scenes.

James Oliver Curwood, a native of the United States, wrote this adventure book ''The Golden Snare.'' David Hartford wrote and directed the 1921 American drama film The Golden Snare. It is based on James Oliver Curwood's 1921 book The Golden Snare. The movie stars DeWitt Jennings, Ruth Renick, Melbourne MacDowell, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone, and Wellington A. Playter. On July 10, 1921, Associated First National Pictures released the movie. It is important to remember that Bram is not entirely to blame in this tale of him, the girl, and the other man. He was pitiful, but he was also awful. It is questionable whether he actually had what is typically thought of as a soul. If he did, it was hidden among the wild creatures and woodlands that had created him. A loup-garou named Bram Johnson is the focus of the narrative. a man-animal. an associate of wolves. He raised the wolves from whelps till he had a pack of twenty. He killed children, so they were monsters in his eyes. And Bram, who was monstrous and partially animal, adored them.

The Peloponnesian War, fought between the Peloponnesian League (headed by Sparta) and the Delian League (431-404 BC), is chronicled in The History of the Peloponnesian War (led by Athens). It was written by the Athens-born historian Thucydides, who served as a general in the battle for his nation. One of the first academic histories, and largely regarded as a classic, is his account of the battle. Eight books make up the history discipline. History analysis typically falls into one of two categories. On the one hand, the work is viewed as impartial and scientific by some academics, including J. B. Bury. Bury's assessment of history is consistent with the conventional idea that it should be "severe in its detachment, written from a strictly intellectual point of view, unfettered with cliches and moral judgments, frigid and critical." On the other hand, History can be understood as a work of literature rather than an impartial account of historical events, in line with more modern readings that are related to reader-response criticism. W. R. Connor's description of Thucydides as "an artist who responds to, selects and expertly arranges his material, and develops its symbolic and emotional potential" embodies this point of view.
