Sevastopol

Leo Tolstoy

Three short stories about the everyday life of besieged Sevastopol a century and a half ago. There are no main characters as such, or rather, each participant, whether an officer or a soldier, at one point or another is in the sight of the authors attention. It is felt that the essays were written by a participant in the events, an eyewitness. In the first part of the work, the writer introduces us to the military situation of that time, the faces of the military through a description of the life of the soldiers, some episodes in my imagination merge into one face of a Russian soldier, who may have to die here.

The Heritage of the Sioux

B.M. Bower

Pioneering Western writer Bertha Muzzy Bower gained critical acclaim by bringing a unique female perspective to her tales of ranch life. In The Heritage of the Sioux, Bower brings a similarly empathic perspective to her fictionalized account of one of the most storied Native American tribes. It is widely considered to be one of the top 100 greatest books of all time. This great novel will surely attract a whole new generation of readers. The Heritage Of The Sioux by B.M. Bower was a much loved American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. A great addition to any collection.

Queen Elizabeth

Jacob Abbott

What else can impress in the history of Queen Elizabeth? However, Jacob Abbott was able to show us the other secret aspects of the queens life. The author is doing a tremendous job describing the area in which she lived, as well as a thorough description of the people who formed her. She was a queen to be admired.
