A Descent into the Maelström Edgar Allan Poe http://feedbooks.com/book/765 en 1841 Short Fiction Horror Inspired by the Moskstraumen, it is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old - "You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves." The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the "old" man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago. http://feedbooks.com/book/765.png http://feedbooks.com/book/765.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/765.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/765.mobi Barnaby Rudge Charles Dickens http://www.feedbooks.com/book/314 urn:isbn:0307262901 en 1841 Novels History http://www.feedbooks.com/book/314.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/314.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/314.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/314.mobi Eleonora Edgar Allan Poe http://www.feedbooks.com/book/770 urn:isbn:1594561729 en 1841 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/770.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/770.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/770.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/770.mobi Essays (First Series) Ralph Waldo Emerson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3882 en 1841 Essay Collections A collections of essays: History, Self-reliance, Compensation, Spiritual laws, Love, Friendship, Prudence, Heroism, The over-soul, Circles, Intellect & Art. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3882.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3882.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3882.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3882.mobi Never Bet the Devil Your Head Edgar Allan Poe http://www.feedbooks.com/book/798 en 1841 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/798.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/798.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/798.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/798.mobi The Colloquy of Monos and Una Edgar Allan Poe http://www.feedbooks.com/book/763 en 1841 Short Fiction Horror http://www.feedbooks.com/book/763.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/763.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/763.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/763.mobi The Deerslayer James Fenimore Cooper http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3937 urn:isbn:048646136X en 1841 Novels History Adventure War The Deerslayer, or The First Warpath (1841) was the last of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking tales to be written. Its 1740-1745 time period makes it the first installment chronologically and in the lifetime of the hero of the Leatherstocking tales, Natty Bumppo. The novel's setting on Otsego Lake in central, upstate New York, is the same as that of The Pioneers, the first of the Leatherstocking tales to be published (1823). The Deerslayer is considered to be the prequel to the rest of the Leatherstocking tales. Fenimore Cooper begins his work by relating the astonishing advance of civilization in New York State, which is the setting of four of his five Leatherstocking tales. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3937.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3937.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3937.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3937.mobi The Island of the Fay Edgar Allan Poe http://www.feedbooks.com/book/778 urn:isbn:1594561826 en 1841 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/778.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/778.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/778.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/778.mobi The Murders in the Rue Morgue Edgar Allan Poe http://www.feedbooks.com/book/795 urn:isbn:0679643427 en 1841 Short Fiction Crime/Mystery "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been claimed as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Similar works predate Poe's stories, including Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819) by E.T.A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1748) by Voltaire. C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mysterious brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. As the first true detective in fiction, the Dupin character established many literary devices which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and "The Purloined Letter". http://www.feedbooks.com/book/795.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/795.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/795.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/795.mobi The Old Curiosity Shop Charles Dickens http://www.feedbooks.com/book/303 en 1841 Novels http://www.feedbooks.com/book/303.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/303.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/303.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/303.mobi Three Sundays in a Week Edgar Allan Poe http://www.feedbooks.com/book/817 en 1841 Short Fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/book/817.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/817.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/817.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/817.mobi
