Book excerpt: A thrilling medieval romance from a USA Today Bestselling Author! A powerful knight on a dangerous mission... Sir Chanse de Bremont is determined to halt the wedding that will upset the tenuous balance of power between England and Scotland. He can think of only one way to do so—take the bride captive. But the willful if beautiful lady is nothing like he thought and more than he could’ve imagined. A defiant lady bent on escape... Lady Arabela Graham refuses to wed the brutal man her father intends to place on the Scottish throne. She knows her betrothed is not fit to be king, and she won’t be a pawn in a political game that will surely end in disaster. Yet when a bold, handsome knight appears on the eve of her wedding offering escape, she rebuffs his aid as she is certain he has an agenda of his own. A desire that can’t be denied. Chanse won’t take no for an answer and whisks Arabela on a perilous journey, pursuers on their heels. She’s touched by the knight whose tender regard and kisses make her heart sing. As those chasing them close in, Chanse realizes Arabela has become far more than a mission to him—she holds his heart. Will secrets keep these two apart, or will passion draw them ever closer?

This book was released on with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let me have good proof of your greediness to devour my labours, and I will dish up such a meal for you in my next volume, as shall go nigh to produce extermination by surfeit. One favour, alone, I crave—give me abuse enough; let no squeamish pretences of respect for my bookseller, or disguised qualms of apprehension for your own sacred persons, deter the natural inclination of your hearts. The slightest deviation from your usual course to independent writers—or one step towards commendation from your gang, might induce the public to believe I had abandoned my character, and become one of yourhonourable fraternity-the very suspicion of which would (to me) produce irretrievable ruin. Your masters, the trading brotherhood, will (as usual) direct you in the course you should pursue; whether to approve or condemn, as their 'peculiar interests may dictate. Most sapient sirs of the secret bandit' of the screen, inquisitors of literature, raise all your arms and heels, your daggers, masks, and hatchets, to revenge the daring of an open foe, who thus boldly defies your base and selfish views; for, basking at his ease in the sunshine of public patronage, he feels that his heart is rendered invulnerable to yourpoisoned shafts. Read, and you shall find I have not been parsimonious of the means to grant you foodand pleasure: errors there are, no doubt, and plenty of them, grammatical and typographical, all of which I might have corrected by an errata at the end of my volume; but I disdain the wish to rob you of your office, and have therefore left them just where I made them, without a single note to mark them out; for if all the thistles were rooted up, what would become of the asses? or of those "Who pin their easy faith on critic's sleeve, And, knowing nothing, ev'ry thing believe?" Fully satisfied that swarms of literary blow flies will pounce upon the errors with delight, and, buzzing with the ecstasy of infernal joy, endeavour to hum their readers into a belief of the profundity of their critic erudition;—I shall nevertheless, with Churchill, laughingly exclaim—"Perish my muse"

Book excerpt: "An Unofficial Patriot" by Helen H. Gardener is a historical novel set in the US Civil War period. Excerpt: But if, as I have sometimes heard readers say—who looked upon themselves as of a somewhat superior order—you do not take an interest in people who have placed themselves outside of the beaten pathway of legal regularity, it will be just as well for you to lay this little story aside now, for, as I have said, it is a story of a clergyman, a slave-holder, a law-breaker, and a law-evader, which, I admit, does not at the first blush present a picture to the mind of a person in whom you and I, my lofty and immaculate friend, would be greatly interested, or with whom we would care to associate for any protracted period.

Book excerpt: France, 1266. Will and his lover, Stephen, are safely ensconced at Montargis Abbey, a Dominican convent two days' ride south of Paris, where the widowed Lady Eleanor de Montfort has chosen to live out her days in peace and seclusion with her young daughter. Will and Stephen fall into a pleasant routine of chores, while Wilecok keeps the small household running with his work in the kitchen. It's in many ways an idyllic life, one that Will could not have predicted. And when they hear that Kenilworth Castle has fallen after a long siege, it seems that the rebellion against the English Crown that the Montforts spearheaded has well and truly ended. But the reappearance of Simon brings a complexity to Will's life, for he is still passionately attracted. Even as he and Stephen grow closer and more deeply attached, the shadow of Simon periodically falls over their relationship. A sudden, horrific act of murder in the year 1271, Will's 25th year, shatters their calm. In the aftermath, Lady Eleanor commands a reluctant Will to journey to a castle in southern Tuscany to visit her mortally ill son. It's here that he will learn the devastating truth about Simon's misdeeds, a truth that Will has not wanted to face, and that changes everything. This lusty, bittersweet sequel to A Knight's Tale: Kenilworth spans another six years in Will and Stephen's lives together, and ends in the South of France, where the mystery of Stephen's tragic past is finally laid to rest. Yet the two still face an uncertain future together in a dangerous world.

Book excerpt: Don Quixote, fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (Spanish: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha), is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. It follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthly wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote is met by the world as it is, initiating such themes as intertextuality, realism, metatheatre, and literary representation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616 NS) was a Spanish writer. Despite spending much of his life in poverty and obscurity, he is generally considered to be the most important writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's most significant novelists. The majority of his work was put to paper during the three years leading up to his death, thanks to the support of Count of Lemos which rendered working unnecessary. First published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, “The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha” revolves around Alonso Quixano, a noble from La Mancha who has read so many chivalric romances that he loses his mind and resolves to become a knight-errant. “Don Quixote” is commonly hailed as the first modern novel as well as one of the pinnacles of world literature, constituting a must read for all lovers of the written word. Other notable works by this author include: “La Galatea (1585) and “Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda” (1617). Read & Co. Classics is proud to be republishing this novel now in a brand new edition complete with an introductory biography by James Fitzmaurice-Kelly.
