He made his way once more to the bureau drawer and took therefrom a diamond ring of scintillant brilliance. For sixty-three weeks Urias Nesbit had paid on that ring. One hundred and twenty-five dollars had been expended for the stone in instalments of two dollars each Saturday afternoon. That had been in the days when the elusive coyness of the regal Elzevir bade fair to put Urias permanently into the matrimonial discard. The ring had won her. And so they were married.

Especially is it still true of the remote inland towns, and it is to be regretted by old and young, that this wholesome restraint of even excessive reverence is so rapidly disappearing before the se-called Light and Reason of the present day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black on White: The Story of Books What did the first book look like? Was it printed or written out by hand? Was it made of paper or of some other material? If it is still in existence in what library can it be found? They say that there really was a man once so fool ish as to hunt through all the libraries of the world for the first book. Day after day he searched among heaps and stacks of mouldy books, yellowed with age. His clothes and boots were covered with a thick layer of dust' as if he had been travelling for miles along a dusty way. Finally he met his death falling from a high-step ladder leaning up against the book shelves. But if he had lived a hundred years longer, nothing would ever have come of his search. The first book rotted away in the ground many thousands of years before he was born. The first book was not in the least like a book ofto-day. It had hands and feet. It didn't lie on a shelf. It could talk. It could even sing. To make a long story short, it was a living book - a human book. In those days people could not write. But their memories were much better than ours. Some of the old people were actually living books. They told marvellous stories about the olden times. Stories which had been told them in their own childhood. These people died but their stories lived on handed down from father to son, from grandfather to grandchild. The stories changed as they passed from mouth to mouth. Some things were added and some things forgotten. They were smoothed and polished by time just as stones are polished by run ning water. The legend of some brave Chieftain would be changed into a fairy tale about a giant who feared neither arrow nor spear - who could range the wood in the form of a wolf and fly through the air in the form of an eagle. In far-off corners of the world to-day there are still old men and women story tellers who relate happenings which have never been written down fairy tales about giants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Black Adonis Could they have done anything else than live in connubial felicity, after the man had proved himself so noble and the woman had learned to appreciate him at his true worth? Well, whether they could or not, they didn't. Blanche is the happiest of wedded wives. She still holds to her theory that marriage is based on wrong principles, and that the contract as ordinarily made is {rightfully immoral but she says if all men were like her Jules there would be no trouble. In this she proves herself essentially feminine. She is learning, albeit a little late, that man was not made to live alone, and that the love a mother feels for her child is not the only one that brings joy to a woman's breast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from S'ancrer The hills toward the west were one black mass. Their contour broken by a single tree, or clump of trees, silhouetted against the afterglow of the setting sun. The sky where the sun had passed seemed like highly polished gold, reflecting the direct rays of the sun. From this centre radiated a halo far more beautiful than any mortal could conceive, which as it spread toward the south deepened in color to a rich red. A few filmy, transparent clouds had caught the sun's rays. The rest of the heavens were absolutely cloudless. Aunt Ilda and I were alone on the west piazza of Brier Lodge one Sunday afternoon. Valleys and hills, ravines and gulleys, lay before us like a panorama. We looked down upon stretches of woodland unbroken for miles and miles.

Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEY'S WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 'A delicious, important novel' The Times 'Alert, alive and gripping' Independent 'Some novels tell a great story and others make you change the way you look at the world. Americanah does both.' Guardian As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they can. Ifemelu--beautiful, self-assured--departs for America to study. She suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships and friendships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze--the quiet, thoughtful son of a professor--had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Thirteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she and Obinze reignite their shared passion--for their homeland and for each other--they will face the toughest decisions of their lives. Fearless, gripping, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story of love and expectation set in today's globalized world.
