Download or read book A Library of the World s Best Literature Ancient and Modern Vol XXII Forty Five Volumes Kingsley Le Sage written by Charles Dudley Warner and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 22 include: . the writings of Charles Kingsley . excerpts from Rudyard Kipling . excerpts from the Koran . the poetry of Jean de la Fontaine . selections from Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia . the literary criticism of Andrew Lang . the poems of Sidney Lanier . and much, much more.

This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 18 of 46 It is the story as old as the custom of marriage, - the story of the husband, the wife, and the lover; but bathed in a misty, moon shiny light, and completely neglecting the usual sources of emotion. The wife, with the charming Child of her guilt, has stood under the stern inquisitorial law in the public pillory of the adulteress; while the lover, a saintly young minister, undetected and unbetrayed, has in an anguish of pusillanimity suffered her to pay the whole fine. The husband, an ancient scholar, a man of abstruse and profane learning, finds his revenge years after the wrong, in making himself insidiously the intimate of the young minister, and feeding secretly on the remorse, the inward torments, which he does everything to quicken but pretends to have no ground for suspecting. The march of the drama lies almost wholly in the malignant pressure exercised in this manner by Chillingworth upon Dimmesdale; an in uence that at last reaches its climax in the extraordinary penance of the sub ject, who in the darkness, in the sleeping town, mounts, himself, upon the scaffold on which, years before, the partner of his guilt has undergone irrevocable anguish. In this situation he calls to him Hester Prynne and her child, who, belated in the course of the merci ful ministrations to which Hester has now given herself up, pass, among the shadows, within sight of him; and they in response to his appeal ascend for a second time to the place of atonement, and stand there with him under cover of night. The scene is not com plete, of course, till Chillingworth arrives to enjoy the spectacle and his triumph. It has inevitably gained great praise, and no page of Hawthorne's shows more intensity of imagination; yet the main achievement of the book is not what is principally its subject, - the picture of the relation of the two men. They are too faintly - the husband in particular - though so fancifully figured. 'the Scarlet Letter' lives, in spite of too many cold concettz', - Hawthorne's general danger, - by something noble and truthful in the image of the branded mother and the beautiful child. Strangely enough, this pair are almost wholly outside the action; yet they preserve and vivify the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The wretches who have thus offended with impunity are before thee; make haste, therefore, to secure our honor, and let thy arrows pierce them to the heart: go down with me to that island, and I will speak to Calypso. The goddess shook the reins as she spoke; and, gliding through the air, surrounded by a cloud which the sun had tinged with a golden hue, she pre sented herself before Calypso, who was sitting pensive and alone by the side of a fountain, at some distance from her grotto.
