Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thankful Blossom: And Other Eastern Tales and Sketches At the present moment it was certainly a bleak place for a tryst. There was snow yet clinging to the trunk Of the tree, and a film Of ice on its bark 3 the adjacent wall was slippery with frost and fringed with icicles. Yet in all there was a ludicrous suggestion of some sentiment past and unseasonable several dislodged stones Of the wall were so disposed as to form a bench and seats, and under the elm tree's film of ice could still be seen carved on its bark the effigy Of a heart, divers Initials, and the legend, Thine for ever. The Stranger, however, kept his eyes fixed only on the, farm-shed, and the Open field beside it. Five minutes passed in fruitless expectancy. Ten minutes! And then the rising moon Slowly lifted herself over the black range Of the Orange Hills, and looked at him, blushing a little, as if the appointment were her own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eastern Legends and Stories: In English Verse The author, in submitting to the Public the following collection of Translations from Eastern sources, has thought it best to convert for the most part the Oriental forms of speech, which the characters in these Legends would use, into, as far as may be, their English equi valents; that what is said might sound more real in Western ears. He has reduced the number of foot-notes to the narrowest possible limits, believing that in a work of light poetry the constant intervention of notes becomes tiresome to the reader.

Download or read book Tales from the Eastern Land Classic Reprint written by Albert Ludwig Grimm and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A. L. Grimm's Tales from the Eastern-Land is a collection of four stories: The Merchant of Balsora, The Two Talismans, The Adventures of Haschem, and The Three Trials.

The Adventures of Haschem relays the story of the return of a prodigal son, and a man taken prisoner for sins he did not commit. The Three Trials is the tale of a young shepherd named Jalaladin and the great challenges he faces in his life. Tales from the Eastern-Land is an interesting collection of tales about what is now Bagdhad, as written by a German author. A.L.

Download or read book Old Stories of the East Classic Reprint written by James Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Stories of the East There are few stories which in themselves are more intensely interesting than those that have come down to us from antiquity through the medium of the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet they have been so generally and so exclusively employed for the purpose of imparting religious instruction, that their purely literary qualities have not always received the attention which they merit. By very many persons, grown-up people as well as children, they are regarded as being inseparably connected with the services of the Sunday school and the Church, and hence scarcely to be thought of during the secular days of the week. There is really no good reason why this should be so. Indeed, there is no good reason why children in the day schools should not read these old stories of the East with as much freedom and with as eager zest as they peruse the classic myths of Greece or the ever-charming tales with which the world of modem fiction abounds. In the present volume it has been the aim of the author to retell these stories from a literary standpoint, and in exactly the same manner as he would retell other stories pertaining to the infancy of the human race.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fables Folk-Tales From an Eastern Forest Here, however, it is perhaps worth noting that although the Mouse-deer as a master of slimness is given the preeminent place among all the beasts of the field, its mantle is sometimes temporarily permitted to fall upon the shoulders of other and quite different members of the animal creation. Hence we hnd in the 14th story, that the King crow is worsted by a Water-snai], and I may add that in a Javanese fable of the same type (for which compare our own 'hare-and-tortoise' F able) the Mouse-deer itself plays the part of the deceived, instead of that of the deceiver. But the subject of the mutual relations of the Beasts in Malayan Fable is one which has yet to be worked out, and which lies unfortunately far beyond the bounds of the present disquisition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far Eastern Tales is a collection of short stories born of Maugham's experiences in Malaya, Singapore and other outposts of the former British Empire. Whether portraying a ship-borne flight from a lover's curse, murder in the jungle, or a marriage shattered by a past indiscretion, they all reveal Maugham at his best - sometimes caustic, sometimes gently comic, but always the shrewd and human judge of character and soul.
