The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is often considered Twain’s greatest masterpiece. Combining his raw humor and startlingly mature material, Twain developed a novel that directly attacked many of the traditions the South held dear at the time of its publication.

The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde – Robert Louis Stevenson The book which put Stevenson’s name in the mouth of the ‚ man in the street,‘ lifted him at a single bound to a place among men of the time and, by the still greater sensation which it created in America, led […]
The Heart Of Midlothian
The Heart Of Midlothian – Sir Walter Scott The Porteous Riot, which occurred in Edinburgh during the reign of George II, is the historical rallying point of this story of Scotch middle life. The narrative, however, harks back several months and also extends forward some years; the present argument, therefore, will be more intelligible if […]

What’s wrong with the world?
What’s wrong with the world? – Gilbert Keith Chesterton In this volume Mr. Chesterton has tackled with his customary gaiety of heart and uncanny shrewdness of eye and hand no less a trinity than socialism, woman’s suffrage, and the new education. He begins by proclaiming that what is wrong with the world is chiefly that […]
Alarms and Discursions
Alarms and Discursions – Gilbert Keith Chesterton If Mr. Chesterton had been permitted to have his own way this handful of papers would have been sent out under the title of „Gargoyles.“ Perhaps the publisher foresaw horror upon the faces of really unimaginative readers when once brought face to face with a „monster“ title; so […]
