Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctor's Daughter: Revised; Sequel to the Pastor's Son My motive in writing this book is twofold. I wish if possible to make clear to some Of my fellow men the error and nonsense of the drugging system Of healing, hoping thereby to free from the bond age Of medication those' who are the habitual slaves Of the belief that a senseless drug can produce health and prolong life. Having spent seven years and much money in testing the various systems of medication and hygiene, thereby under going continually increasing agonies, I was at last driven to despair, and thus impelled to try Christian Science, with the result that in a few weeks, and for a few dollars, I was completely and permanently healed. Incidentally, I will also take occasion to express some ideas Of truth which have come to me, and which I hope may be useful to others. I do this in view Of the fact that, Ceasing to give, we cease to have, such is the law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Professor's Daughter On East Twenty-first Street, in the city of New York, there stands a house which several years ago had evidently ceased to care for personal appearances. Even at that time, like the middle aged woman who has done the same thing, it was becoming unattractive. An unostentatious sign, almost hidden by the ivy that framed the front windows of this house, read, ."Dr. Everett Layton" nothing more. No mention was made of which branch of his profession the physician practised. At a glance it was impossible to say whether the practitioner, through professional despair, had given up blowing his own trumpet, or whether an assured position had rendered such vocalization unnecessary; but visitors to that part of the city, born with their eyes open, would be assured during the doctor's office hours that success had walked his way, judging from the number of rings at the door-bell and the worldly position of the equipages driven up and down in front of the house, in waiting. It was evident that money sought the doctor without his seeking it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Doctor s Daughter written by Hilma Wolitzer and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her first work of fiction in more than a decade, award-winning novelist Hilma Wolitzer brilliantly renders the intimate details of ordinary life and exposes a host of hidden truths. The Doctor’s Daughter is a haunting portrait of a woman coming to terms with her family history and the fallibility of memory. One morning, Alice Brill awakes with a sudden awareness that something is wrong. There’s a hollowness in her chest, and a sensation of dread that she can’t identify or shake. Was it something she’s done, or forgotten to do? As she scours her mind for the source of her unease, she confronts an array of disturbing possibilities. First, there is her marriage, a once vibrant relationship that now languishes stasis. Then there’s her idle, misdirected younger son, who always needs bailing out of some difficulty. Or perhaps Alice’s trepidation is caused by the loss of her career as an editor at a large publishing house, and the new path she’s paved for herself as a freelance book doctor. Or it might be the real doctor in her life: her father. Formerly one of New York’s top surgeons, he now rests in a nursing home, his mind gripped by dementia. And the Eden that was Alice’s childhood–the material benefits and reflected glory of being a successful doctor’s daughter, the romance of her parents’ famously perfect marriage–makes her own domestic life seem fatally flawed. While struggling to find the root of her restlessness, Alice is buoyed by her discovery of a talented new writer, a man who works by day as a machinist in Michigan. Soon their interactions and feelings intensify, and Alice realizes that the mystery she’s been trying to solve lies not in the present, as she had assumed, but in the past–and in the secrets of a marriage that was never as perfect as it appeared. Like the best works of Anne Tyler, Sue Miller, and Gail Godwin, The Doctor’s Daughter is private yet universal, luminous and revelatory–and marks the reemergence of a singular talent in American writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctor His friendship enriched my life, and gladdened my heart, and has left an abiding memory at once gracious, tender, and gladsome. One cannot recall the Doctor without a smile creeping into one's eyes. Coming to our house as he did at a time when the shadow of illness lay on it, his is a tender and an especially warm place in our hearts. What I he would say in pretended amazement, when I would tell him of the invalid's improvement. He's not dead yet! He's a fraud, a malingerer! I'll report him to the Presbytery! But at evening prayers, how'be would pour forth thanks to the great Father God for restoring health and courage, and how near we felt the Unseen at such moments So, with laughter and with tears (and arethey not tw1n Sisters friendship grew closer and closer. His views of God were like himself, great and spacious. Money, he cried one day, it's just God's gift to His children who can't understand anything better. He gives them money to play with, just as we give little children ha'pennies to please them. But to His own dear children, He gives His great gifts, wisdom and understanding so that they see wondrous things out of His law. These are the things that matter because they abide. A comforting thought in these days of materialism. So the Doctor rests from his labours but his works do follow him. In the Old Book he loved so well it is written The memory of the just is blessed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dr. Gilbert's Daughters: A Story for Girls A beautiful afternoon in the early part of June; an opening in the woods where the warm sun only peeped in through clustering leaves, and lay here and there in golden bars on the mossy carpet; an aged tree the spreading branches of which almost touched the ground; and - perched sideways upon the lowest (horseback-fashion), one hand lightly grasping a bridle of leaves, the other holding in position in front of her a large rag doll, while she bent alternately backward and forward, causing the bough to sway up and down - a little girl. "My poor, dear child!" she exclaimed, hugging the clumsy baby, and nearly losing her balance in the act, "to think that we should ever come to this! But do not weep, my darling. The gloomy forest is a safe hiding-place from our wicked enemy, and who knows but what brighter days are ahead? If Providence is only merciful to us, your poor father shall yet have his rights, and Edward shall be made to feel the vengeance of Margaret - I wonder if there are any robbers around?" peering anxiously into the bushes.

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.

The Doctor visits Blossum and persuades him to visit his house in Puddleby to discuss the payment and rules of the Pushmi-Pullyu before its performance in the circus. The Performance goes well after the Pushmi-Pullyu is put into the show and the doctor starts earning but he also discovers the animals who are in need of their cages cleaned which Blossum doesn't co-operate with when the doctor suggests some new ways to look after the animals.
