Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Honore De Balzac, Vol. 9: Lucien De Rubempre; Ferragus, the Duchesse De Langeais The young man interested the mind; as he went and came he aroused curiosity. All things about him gave signs of a life of elegance. According to a fatal law of our epoch, there was little difference, either physical or moral, between the most distinguished and best-trained son of a duke and peer and this fasci nating young man, whom poverty had lately gripped with her iron hands in the midst of Paris. Beauty and youth must have masked in him profound abysses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Undying Fire written by H. G. Wells and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. G. Wells is one of the most important science fiction writers in history. Though "The Undying Fire: A contemporary novel" may be more accurately described as fantasy over sci-fi, it is still a seminal part of 20th-century literary history. As an, at the time, modern retelling of the Book of Job the story explores the difference between good and evil and why wickedness exists in a world full of innocent people. Fans of Wells will enjoy this small departure from his typical genre, while those who have never read one of his books before will fall in love with his atmospheric writing.

Book excerpt: A Grand Master of the British-style detective story brings Victorian England to vivid life in this murder mystery, which critic Anthony Boucher hailed as a “faultless formal puzzle in detection” In 1865, novelist Clive Strickland is relaxing at his club when his friend Victor Damon comes to him in a panic, begging Clive to help him marry off his sister to a cash-poor marquis whose affections reek of gold-digging. Victor doesn’t care. Something sinister lurks at High Chimneys and he wants his sisters out of the house before their lives are put in danger. Old Matthew Damon, their father, has long been dogged by scandalous rumors of solitary visits to the cells of women about to be hanged for murder.

Book excerpt: Eugénie Grandetby Honoré de BalzacThis is the question that fills the minds of the inhabitants of Saumur, the setting for Eugénie Grandet, one of the earliest and most famous novels in Balzac's Comédie humaine. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine by the sudden arrival of Eugénie's cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless. Eugénie's emotional awakening, stimulated by her love for her cousin, brings her into direct conflict with her father, whose cunning and financial success are matched against her determination to rebel. Eugénie's moving story is set against the backdrop of provincial oppression, the vicissitudes of the wine trade, and the workings of the financial system in the aftermath of the French Revolution. It is both a poignant portrayal of private life and a vigorous fictional document of its age.
