Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Wrack T all happened years back when I was a younger man and my beard less thin and gray. I was, in fact, respectably journeying toward the middle - aged period, when circumstance, or fate, - have it as you will, - took charge of me. It is certain I was weaker about the joints when the drama was ended. As you know I am, and always will be, a nomad of uncertain employment with an ill-bred way of doing one job one day and trying another the next. Sheer boredom made me follow up an advertisement for a drawing-master at a school in Lincoln, somewhere about the year 1835. Sheer boredom - and circumstance in the shape of a devil of a storm - put me off the track forever. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Deep-Sea Plunderings: A Collection of Stories of the Sea "What a clumsy, barrel-bellied old hooker she is, Field!" Thus, closing his telescope with a bang, the elegant chief officer of the Mirzapore, steel four-masted clipper ship of 5000 tons burden, presently devouring the degrees of longitude that lay between her and Melbourne on the arc of a composite great circle, at the rate of some 360 miles per day. As he spoke he cast his eyes proudly aloft at the splendid spread of square sail that towered upward to a height of nearly 200 feet. Twenty-eight squares of straining canvas, from the courses, stretched along yards 100 feet or so in length, to the far-away skysails of 35 feet head, that might easily be handled by a pair of boys. Truly she made a gallant show - the graceful ship, that in spite of her enormous size was so perfectly modelled on yacht-like lines that, overshadowed as she was by the mighty pyramid of sail, the eye refused to convey a due sense of her great capacity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fore and Aft: A Story of Actual Sea Life Having passed many pleasant hours in narrating remi niscences of fourteen months of ship life, I have pre pared this story because my friends thought that what they had enjoyed hearing, others might find interest in reading; and because so few true accounts have been given by persons who have themselves been sailors, and who write from actual experience. With the notable exception of Richard H. Dana's Two Years Before the Mast, there has been hardly a book giving a correct statement of the sailor's life, with its many hardships and perils, and its few pleasures and enjoyments. I send my story out into the world, hoping that it may be found to be what I have tried to make it a truthful represou tation of the average experiences of the American sailor, fore and aft.

Abandoned and set adrift in a small boat when she was just hours old, Crow’s only companions are Osh, the man who rescued and raised her, and Miss Maggie, their fierce and affectionate neighbor across the sandbar. Crow has always been curious about the world around her, but it isn’t until the night a mysterious fire appears across the water that the unspoken question of her own history forms in her heart. Soon, an unstoppable chain of events is triggered, leading Crow down a path of discovery and danger. Vivid and heart-wrenching, Lauren Wolk’s Beyond the Bright Sea is a gorgeously crafted and tensely paced tale that explores questions of identity, belonging, and the true meaning of family.
