Over There: War Scenes on the Western Front [MultiFormat]

In June, 1915, the War Propaganda Bureau arranged for Bennett to tour the Western Front. Bennett was deeply shocked by the conditions in the trenches and was physically ill for several weeks afterwards. His friend, Frank Swinnerton, later recalled, "he visited the front as a duty, and was horrified at what he saw and felt that he must not express that horror."

The Card, A Story of Adventure in the Five Towns [MultiFormat]
by Arnold Bennett
|
|
Every town should have a 'card'--someone who gets talked about, someone who does mad and wonderful things, someone who makes you laugh. Bursley in the Five Towns has a 'card': Edward Henry Machin (Denry for short). Denry begins life in a poor little house where the rent is twenty-three pence a week. But before he's thirty, he's made a lot of money, and had more adventures than you and I have had hot dinners. The town of Bursley never stops talking about him. Whatever will young Denry do next?

The Grim Smile of the Five Towns [MultiFormat]
by Arnold Bennett
|
|
The pride, pretensions and snobbery of the potteries are handled by Arnold Bennett with amused tolerance. Most of his stories, like the four linked adventures of Vera Cheswardine, set the home life of middle-class manufacturers of earthenware and porcelain against a scenery of coal dust.

It tells the story of the two Baines sisters, placid stay-at-home Constance and rebellious Sophia, from their girlhood to their last days. They move from the family drapery shop in provincial Bursley during the repressive mid-Victorian period to old age in the modern era of mass marketing and the internal combustion engine. The setting ranges from the We... more info>> (Published: 1908)

The Sea Lions [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by James Fenimore Cooper
|
|
If any thing connected with the hardness of the human heart could surprise us, it surely would be the indifference with which men live on, engrossed by their worldly objects, amid the sublime natural phenomena that so eloquently and unceasingly speak to their imaginations, affections, and judgments. So completely is the existence of the individual concentrated in self, and so regardless does he get to be of all without that contracted circle, that it does not probably happen to one man in ten, t... more info>>

Cambridge Pieces [MultiFormat]
by Samuel Butler
|
|
Mr. Bridges had long been desirous of becoming a candidate for this distinction, but, until the death of Mr. Leader, no vacancy having occurred among the scholars, he had as yet had no opportunity of going in for it. The income to be derived from it was not inconsiderable, and as it led to the porter fellowship the mere pecuniary value was not to be despised, but thirst of fame and the desire of a more public position.

Canterbury Pieces [MultiFormat]
by Samuel Butler
|

Now, however sceptical I may yet feel about the truth of all Darwin's theory, I cannot sit quietly by and see him misrepresented in such a scandalously slovenly manner. What Darwin does say is that sometimes diversified and changed habits may be observed in individuals of the same species; that is that there are eccentric animals just as there are eccentric men.

Alice Adams [MultiFormat]
by Booth Tarkington
|
|
Alice Adams describes the humourously rediculous life of a fading aristocratic family trying to get back on top of the social ladder. Alice, with a hand from her money-obsesed mother, locks herself in a world where she believes that she is a memeber of the aristocracy. While her family has lost its status, Alice and her parents will stop at nothing to impress others (especially rich young men) with wealth they don't really have. The scheming of each of the family members demonstrates the absurdi... more info>> (Published: 1922)
