Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silvia, Vol. 2 of 3 A dazzling sheet of snow lay on the garden the next morning, and the air was bitterly cold, still Silvia felt tempted to go out even before breakfast. She had stayed much within of late under plea of the cold, so Madame de l'Epine had given her a set of furs the evening before, hoping to lure her out by the wish to use them. Furs are not much worn in Italy. Silvia had never called any her own, and she was in raptures with those given her by her friend, which were indeed both costly and handsome. She had stayed up an hour later than usual in her room, in order to look at them under every aspect, and to try them on in every possible fashion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silvia, Vol. 3 of 3 Great was Lady John's surprise and indignatin when, with that word which explains nothing, "business," Mr. Lovell informed her ladyship, on joining her and her friends that same evening, that he was going to Pans early the next morning. "Oh! indeed," exclaimed Lady John, looking extremely black; whilst Miss Georgie Lovell stared at her cousin in mute dismay. "What shall I bring you, Georgie?" he asked, rather kindly, "chocolate?" "I am afraid I have outgrown chocolate," was the despondent reply. "I seem to outgrow everything. Besides, where's the use of chocolate when one can never have one's own way?"

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courage of Sylvia Fulgent, Vol. 2 of 3 The only opportunities he had of getting his foot loose were when Sylvia could be prevailed on to relieve him of his duties for an hour or two, which, however, happened nearly every day. To these meetings Vignolles looked forward with an eagerness which, if rather ridiculous in the eyes of a brother, was also rather pathetic in the eyes of Sylvia herself. If she met him out of doors, he would pull himself together as he caught sight' of her, straighten his poor stooping shoulders, and do his best to walk with some thing of the swing and stride of Fulke. His eyes would brighten for a moment, and his face he wreathed in smiles. He would bring out all his piteous little affectations and faded4 the courage OF sylvia fulgent.

Her brother was not tall, but he too carried his head as if he had only to order and be obeyed; not offensively, but With a natural dignity which sat well upon him, and did not belie the benevolence of his countenance, set in a bush of light whisker and loose curls, into which silver threads were creeping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Mexican Gothic and Velvet Was the Night comes a lavish historical drama reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico. “This is historical science fiction at its best: a dreamy reimagining of a classic story with vivid descriptions of lush jungles and feminist themes. Some light romance threads through the heavier ethical questions concerning humanity.”—Library Journal (starred review) “The imagination of Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a thing of wonder, restless and romantic, fearless in the face of genre, embracing the polarities of storytelling—the sleek and the bizarre, wild passions and deep hatreds—with cool equanimity.”—The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, Polygon, Tordotcom, Paste, CrimeReads, Booklist Carlota Moreau: A young woman growing up on a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatán peninsula. The only daughter of a researcher who is either a genius or a madman. Montgomery Laughton: A melancholic overseer with a tragic past and a propensity for alcohol. An outcast who assists Dr. Moreau with his experiments, which are financed by the Lizaldes, owners of magnificent haciendas and plentiful coffers. The hybrids: The fruits of the doctor’s labor, destined to blindly obey their creator and remain in the shadows. A motley group of part human, part animal monstrosities. All of them live in a perfectly balanced and static world, which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and careless son of Dr. Moreau’s patron, who will unwittingly begin a dangerous chain reaction. For Moreau keeps secrets, Carlota has questions, and, in the sweltering heat of the jungle, passions may ignite. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is both a dazzling historical novel and a daring science fiction journey.

It was about eleven o'clock in the morning, two days later, and she and Mervyn Ferris were alone together in the Cornishes' morning room, where Mervyn had spent the last half hour, perched upon the table in her hat and jacket, sticking pins recklessly into the table cover in her excitement, and listening with breathless interest while Sylvia told her the story of the engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poor Nelli, Vol. 2 of 3 Since the wee fairy of awaking love had crept into Adela's young heart, that fairy had never slept again; for when does. A fairy really sleep? Rather dull and placid as Adela still might seem, yet having that little fairy nestled in one corner of her heart, she would have liked George often to say tender things to her. The murmur of the pretty secret he had once breathed into her ear had never quite died there. It was like that secret which must have been whispered over the trees in Eden: you hear the pleasant sound of it still lingering amongst the moving boughs in every wood on earth, - for there is a breath of joy which does not die away. Though Adela would have liked best to be alone with George, she minded having Nellie less than any one else. Sylvia's perpetual observation and curiosity would have been intolerable. Adela was grateful to Miss Smith for not letting Sylvia be much with her and George. The truth is, the governess thought Miss Sylvia quite capable of flirting with George on her own account, right over Adela's head as it were while knowing that Nellie was in love with Charles Crofton, she considered it quite safe for her to be long hours on the lake with George and Adela. And Nellie was so fond of boating, it would have been hard in any case to refuse her strong wish. She had been so apathetic even towards all pleasure of late, seeming to care for' nothing, and liking best to be allowed to stay quietly indoors when everybody else went out; and she looked so pale and listless, and in such low spirits, that Miss Smith was getting rather alarmed, and felt very glad to see her show some little eager ness of desire about anything, no matter what.

Download or read book Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume II written by Sylvia Plath and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was one of the writers that defined the course of twentieth-century poetry. Her vivid, daring and complex poetry continues to captivate new generations of readers and writers. In the Letters, we discover the art of Plath's correspondence. Most has never before been published, and it is here presented unabridged, without revision, so that she speaks directly in her own words. Refreshingly candid and offering intimate details of her personal life, Plath is playful, too, entertaining a wide range of addressees, including family, friends and professional contacts, with inimitable wit and verve. The letters document Plath's extraordinary literary development: the genesis of many poems, short and long fiction, and journalism. Her endeavour to publish in a variety of genres had mixed receptions, but she was never dissuaded. Through acceptance of her work, and rejection, Plath strove to stay true to her creative vision. Well-read and curious, she simultaneously offers a fascinating commentary on contemporary culture. Leading Plath scholar Peter K. Steinberg and Karen V. Kukil, editor of The Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962, provide comprehensive footnotes and an extensive index informed by their meticulous research. Alongside a selection of photographs and Plath's own drawings, they masterfully contextualise what the pages disclose. This selection of later correspondence witnesses Plath and Hughes becoming major, influential contemporary writers, as it happened. Experiences recorded include first books and other publications; teaching; committing to writing full-time; travels; making professional acquaintances; settling in England; building a family; and buying a house. Throughout, Plath's voice is completely, uniquely her own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shirley, Vol. 2 of 3: A Tale Shirley showed she had been sincere in saying She should be glad of Caroline's society, by frequently seeking it: and, indeed, if she had not sought it, she would not have had it; for Miss Helstone was slow to make fresh acquaintance. She was always held back by the idea that people could not want her: that she could not amuse them; and a brilliant, happy, youthful creature, like the heiress of Field head, seemed to her too completely independent of society so uninteresting as hers, ever to find it really welcome.
