Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jack's Story I didn't think I should like it, for I had generally spent my Sundays in playing about the streets; but I heard that boys in Sunday school got oranges and candies, and sometimes a present for Christmas. So just before Christmas I thought I'd go. They put me in a class with a very pleasant-looking young lady for a teacher; the boys called her Miss Gibson. She seemed so kind that it made me happy just to look at her. I'm glad that they did not put me under such a sober-faced woman as the teacher I saw in.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Jack, the Hermit of the White Mountains Aye, sir! These summer days when travelers come And laugh and joke here in my humble ship, And ask me why I made this place my home, 'tis but the dregs, another bitter sip, Beg pardon, though, I'm steering wild, I guess, So now I'll start upon the other tack; I may sheer off a few points more or less, But save your patience and I'll steer right back. My parents died when I was twelve years old, In London I was left without a friend, My whole possessions were one pound in gold And hopes that Fate would something better send. I scorned the institutions that were free, And feared that I might yet be sent to school My whole ambition was to go to sea, I went, - and there is where I played the fool. Barefooted, with my bundle I would trot For days and days around the London docks; Do you want a boy, sir? And all I got For answer was hard words and harder knocks. At last one day when hope was almost dead, And tired and homesick I sat down to cry, A little girl came toddling up, and said: Don't cry, poor boy, you 's lost and so is I. And so she was, the bonny little dear; Her eyes were blue, her hair like shining gold. She'd Come to look for daddy's ship down here, Her name was Mary, and just five years old.

And with good reason indeed. The designer usually so haughty and so proud, who in the past eighteen months had not spoken three times to him, had, on meeting him by chance this morning in Indret, done him the honour of addressing him as a comrade, of taking him to the public house, and of treating him to three glasses of differently coloured spirits. This was so extraordinary that Jack at first felt some distrust. The man's manner was so strange, he asked with so much persistence Anything new at the Rondies nothing really?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller Named a Best Book of 2020 by the Australian Book Review, AV Club, Books-a-Million, Electric Literature, Esquire, the Financial Times, Good Housekeeping (UK), The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Literary Hub, the New Statesman, the New York Public Library, NPR, the Star Tribune, and TIME Marilynne Robinson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal, returns to the world of Gilead with Jack, the latest novel in one of the great works of contemporary American fiction Marilynne Robinson’s mythical world of Gilead, Iowa—the setting of her novels Gilead, Home, and Lila, and now Jack—and its beloved characters have illuminated and interrogated the complexities of American history, the power of our emotions, and the wonders of a sacred world. Jack is Robinson’s fourth novel in this now-classic series. In it, Robinson tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the prodigal son of Gilead’s Presbyterian minister, and his romance with Della Miles, a high school teacher who is also the child of a preacher. Their deeply felt, tormented, star-crossed interracial romance resonates with all the paradoxes of American life, then and now. Robinson’s Gilead novels, which have won one Pulitzer Prize and two National Book Critics Circle Awards, are a vital contribution to contemporary American literature and a revelation of our national character and humanity.
