Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature of the World: An Introductory Study When the term literature is properly used it denotes writings or records that are of permanent value, that have human interest, and that have beauty of form. Books, like plants and animals, must struggle for existence. Those that survive after perhaps hundreds of years have stood a supreme test, and back of them is the authority of generations. Such books are not often prosy or uninteresting. They are broad in their appeal, they touch us in a personal and intimate way, and they interpret to us the richest products of our civilization. We read them for their own sake, and when we go to them they do not turn us empty away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Epic, the World's Great Epics Told in Story Every now and then in our reading we come suddenly face to face with first things, - the very elemental sources beyond which no man may go. There is a distinct satisfaction in dealing with such beginnings, and, when they are those of literature, the sense of freshness is nothing short of inspiring. To share the same lofty outlook, to breathe the same high air with those who first sensed a whole era of creative thoughts, is the next thing to being the gods' chosen medium for those primal expressions. All this is not to say that the epic is the oldest form of literary expression, but it is the expression of the oldest literary ideas, for, even when the epic is not at all primitive in form, it deals essentially with elemental moods and ideals. Epical poetry is poetic not because it is metrical and conformative to rhythmical standards, - though it usually is both, - but it is poetry because of the high sweep of its emotional outlook, the bigness of its thought, the untamed passion of its language, and the musical flow of its utterance. Here, then, we have a veritable source book of the oldest ideas of the race; but, not only that - we are also led into the penetralia of the earliest thought of many separate nations, for when the epic is national, it is true to the earliest genius of the people whose spirit it depicts. To be sure, much of literature, and particularly the literature of the epic, is true rather to the tone of a nation than to its literal history - by which I mean that Achilles was more really a Greek hero than any Greek who ever lived, because he was the apotheosis of Greek chivalry, and as such was the expression of the Greeks rather than merely a Greek. The Iliad and the Odyssey are not merely epics of Greece - they are Greek. This is an age of story-telling.

That steel the rich man's breast, And mock the lot unblest, The sordid vices and the abject pains, Which evermore must be The doom of Ignorance and Penury! But you, free Nature's uncorrupted child, You hailed the Chapel and the Platform wild, Where once the Austrian fell Beneath the shaft of Tell! 0 Lady, nursed in pomp and pleasure! Where learnt you that heroic measure? You were a Mother! That most holy name, Which Heaven and Nature' bless, I may not vilely prostitute to those Whose Infants owe them less Than the poor Caterpillar owes Its gaudy Parent Fly. You were a Mother! At your bosom fed The Babes that loved you. You, with laughing eye. Each twilight-thought, each nascent feeling read, Which you yourself created. Oh, delight! A second time to be a Mother, Without the Mother's bitter groans: Another thought, and yet another, By touch, or taste, by looks or tones, O'er the growing Sense to roll, The Mother of your infant's Soul!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Greatest Books, Vol. 2: Fiction One damp, misty March morning, I dismounted from the top Of a coach in the yard Of a London inn. Deliver ing my scanty baggage to a porter, I followed him to a lodging prepared for me by an acquaintance. It con sisted Of a small room in which I was to sit, and a smaller: one still in which I was to sleep. Having breakfasted comfortably by a good fire, I sallied forth and easily found my way to the place I was in quest Of, for it was scarcely ten minutes' walk dis tant. I was cordially received by the big man to whom some Of my productions had been sent by a kind friend, and to whom he had given me a letter Of introduction, which was respectfully read. But he informed me that he was selling his publishing business, and SO could not make use Of my literary help. He gave me counsel, however, especially advising me to write some evangelical tales, in the style Of the Dairyman's Daughter. As I told him I had never heard Of that work, he said Then, sir, procure it by all means. Much more con versation ensued, during which the publisher told me that he purposed continuing to issue once a month his maga zine, the Oxford Review, and to this he proposed that I should attempt to contribute. AS I was going away he invited me to dine with him on the ensuing Sunday. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
