Desperate Remedies Thomas Hardy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4049 urn:isbn:0192840703 en 1874 Novels Crime/Mystery Thriller Described by Hardy as a tale of "mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity", his first published novel violated the literary decorum of its day with blackmail, murder, and romance. It relates the story of Cytherea, a maid to the eccentric arch-intriguer Miss Aldclyffe, and the man she loves, Edward Springrove. Upon discovering that Edward is already engaged, Cytherea comes under the influence of Miss Aldclyffe's fascinating, manipulative steward, Manston.

On all the other mornings of the week this question never occurred to him: on Sunday he never allowed a thought of the bank to cross his mind: from Sunday to Saturday he was firmly settled in the usual rut, and never dreamed of tearing himself out of it. But Sunday's break was unsettling: there was always an effort in starting afresh on Monday. The striking of St. Alkmund's clock at eight on Monday morning invariably found him sitting down to his breakfast in his rooms, overlooking the quaint old Market-Place, once more faced by the fact that a week of dull, uninteresting work lay before him. He would go to the bank at nine, and at the bank he would remain, more or less, until five. He would do that again on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, and on Thursday and on Friday, and on Saturday. One afternoon, strolling in the adjacent country, he had seen a horse walking round and round and round in a small paddock, turning a crank which worked some machine or other in an adjoining shed: that horse had somehow suggested himself to himself."

M. Forster http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4045 en 1911 Short Fiction Fantasy Collections A traveler steps off the road and finds himself in an alternate reality. A sullen boy accidentally summons a spirit. A man gets more than he bargained for when he buys his fiancée a plot of wooded land. These six stories deal with transformations, the truth of the imagination, and the effect of the unseen on ordinary lives. By juxtaposing the Edwardian English with pagan mythology, E.M. Forster created in this collection a work of lasting strangeness and great beauty. This work was published before 1923 and is in the public domain in the USA only. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4045.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4045.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4045.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4045.mobi A Dream of John Ball William Morris http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688 urn:isbn:1603124330 en 1888 Novels History Politics A Dream of John Ball (1888) is a novel by English author William Morris about the English peasants' revolt of 1381 and the rebel John Ball. Like the novels close contemporary - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) by Mark Twain - it describes a dream and time travel encounter between the medieval and modern worlds. However unlike Twain's vision of a violent and chaotic "Dark Age", Morris describes a positive image of the Middle Ages, seeing it as a golden, if brief, period when peasants were prosperous and happy and guilds protected workers from exploitation. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.mobi Le Contrat Thomas DESMOND http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/148 fr 2005 Théodore Diès est un vieil homme près de la mort.

There are, indeed, many higher; there are many of a nobler outline. It is no place of pilgrimage for the summary globe-trotter; but to one who lives upon its sides, Mount Saint Helena soon becomes a center of interest. It is the Mont Blanc of one section of the Californian Coast Range, none of its near neighbors rising to one-half its altitude. It looks down on much green, intricate country. It feeds in the spring-time many splashing brooks. From its summit you must have an excellent lesson of geography: seeing, to the south, San Francisco Bay, with Tamalpais on the one hand and Monte Diablo on the other; to the west and thirty miles away, the open ocean; eastward, across the corn-lands and thick tule swamps of Sacramento Valley, to where the Central Pacific railroad begins to climb the sides of the Sierras; and northward, for what I know, the white head of Shasta looking down on Oregon. . . . http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.mobi The Slayer of Souls Robert William Chambers http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1608 en 1920 Novels Fantasy This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1608.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1608.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1608.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1608.mobi The Song of the Lark Willa Cather http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2105 urn:isbn:1604247266 en 1915 Novels Western This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+50 or in the USA (published before 1923). http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2105.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2105.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2105.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2105.mobi The Stowmarket Mystery Louis Tracy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3830 urn:isbn:8132044290 en 1904 Novels Crime/Mystery A mystery novel featuring Reginald Brett, Barrister Detective, an insightful, Sherlockian investigator.
