War and Peace Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/83 urn:isbn:067003469X en 1869 Novels History War <p>War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels. <br />War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.</p> This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/83.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/83.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/83.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/83.mobi Don Quixote Miguel Cervantes http://www.feedbooks.com/book/183 urn:isbn:B001AAWVRY en 1615 Novels Humor/Satire <p>Don Quixote, errant knight and sane madman, with the company of his faithful squire and wise fool, Sancho Panza, together roam the world and haunt readers' imaginations as they have for nearly four hundred years. </p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/183.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/183.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/183.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/183.mobi The Iliad of Homer Homer http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2962 urn:isbn:B0012AHIYI en -900 Poetry War <p>Translated into English Blank Verse by William Cowper. <br />The Iliad is, together with the Odyssey, one of two ancient Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer. The poem is commonly dated to the late 9th or to the 8th century BC, and many scholars believe it is the oldest extant work of literature in the ancient Greek language, making it one of the first works of ancient Greek literature. The existence of a single author for the poems is disputed as the poems themselves show evidence of a long oral tradition and hence, possible multiple authors .</p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2962.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2962.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2962.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2962.mobi The Other Side Of Silence Ruth Nestvold http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2798 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>A disturbing tale about the future of executive entertainment.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2798.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2798.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2798.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2798.mobi Exit Without Saving Ruth Nestvold http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2814 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>A story about the dangers of escaping your own skin.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2814.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2814.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2814.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2814.mobi Accelerando Charles Stross http://www.feedbooks.com/book/228 urn:isbn:0441014151 en 2005 Novels Science Fiction <p>The book is a collection of nine short stories telling the tale of three generations of a highly dysfunctional family before, during, and after a technological singularity.
