Robert E. Howard
Five incredible stories of the wild west, from the supremely creative mind of Robert E. Howard: "Golden Hope Christmas, Riders of the Sunset, Boot-Hill Payoff, Vultures Sanctuary, The Vultures of Wahpeton. The serious, hardcore western stories in this collection fit the writing style of Howard like a glove. Like his horror stories, historical fiction, straight adventure like El Borak does. The stories collected here show a West stripped down to essentials, where internalized codes of personal honor, loyalty, and courage matter more than laws, progress, or civilization. These stories also follow Howards trend towards writing more western and historical stories and fewer sword and sorcery stories as time went on. Highly recommended for long-time fans and first-time readers alike!
Joseph Conrad
This collection of short works. Despite the fact that these are short stories, the author never ceases to amaze with his approach to his characters. The scene from Brittany Idiots is perhaps his most significant work. Here, Conrad describes a family cursed by a mental illness in a French village, and how the embryo difficulties affect parents.
Edgar Wallace
The book consists of 10 short stories about Tam a brilliant Scottish pilot, a thriller novel fan, socialist and cigar addict. The stories of Tam the pilot are not mysteries. Tams dialogue is written phonetically and he is great fun and saves the rather silly pre-Biggles stories from being too ridiculous to be enjoyable. The characters are broad, the situations light, but the stories are exciting and fun. Tam is a real person, and all the adventures set forth have actually happened, though names and places are necessarily fictitious. These are some of the earliest examples of air pulp, which exploded in popularity a decade after this books publication, following Linderbergs famous flight, and the release of Wellmans Wings.
George Sand
Tamaris est une histoire damour dans laquelle tout le spectre des passions humaines est présent. Grâce cette histoire, nous nous souvenons de lamour sincere de deux jeunes gens le médecin et le lieutenant du navire La Florade amoureux de la jeune veuve Marquis Elmeval, qui était venue soccuper de son fils la Villa Tamaris. Cette histoire romantique ne laissera personne indifférent.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
This is a fun collection, the second of Hawthorne, Greek myths slightly rethought and retold for children. These are famous stories with a rather friendly perception. Antey has some friends who are called pygmies, but it seems that their height is about six inches. But they are going to avenge him after Hercules killed him, and Big X good-naturedly accepts the loss. Theseus still kills the Minotaur, although the beast seems to be a kind of miserable soul, but does not leave Ariadne rather, she refuses to leave her father, despite all his flaws.
Zane Grey
You have brought me happiness, said Tappan, to a small gray storm circling around his mother. Your name is Janet. You are Bopo Tappana, I think he will stick to you, from the book, Intelligence was a lonely business for Tappan, but his drum Jenet was a good company. She knew the dots and the water wells better. Thappan, from the burning heat and poisonous atmosphere of the Death Valley to the blind blizzards of the Arizona Mountains. Janet traced with him the faithful, the only friend, and he turned her loyalty to the ultimate, supreme effort of heart, will and spirit.
