The Country of the Blind and Other Stories, by H.G. Wells. Part IV.

A collection of Wells' short stories, with a short introductory essay by the author: "Essentially it is a miscellany of inventions, many of which were very pleasant to write; and its end is more than attained if some of them are refreshing and agreeable to read. I have now re-read them all, and I am glad to think I wrote them. I like them, but I cannot tell how much the associations of old happinesses gives them a flavour for me. I make no claims for them and no apology; they will be read as long as people read them." (From the author's Introduction.)H.G. Wells is best known as a writer of science fiction; "The Country of the Blind and Other Stories" is a collection only incidentally touched by science. Part I01 The Jilting of Jane 02 The Cone 03 The Stolen Bacillus 04 The Flowering of the Strange Orchid 05 In the Avu Observatory 06 Aepyornis Island 07 The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes  Part II08 The Lord of the Dynamos 09 The Moth 10 The Treasure in the Forest 11 The Story of the late Mr. Elvesham 12 Under the Knife  Part III13 The Sea Raiders 14 The Obliterated Man 15 The Plattner Story 16 The Red Room 17 The Purple Pileus  Part IV18 A Slip Under the Microscope 19 The Crystal Egg 20 The Star 21 The Man Who Could Work Miracles  Part V22 A Vision of Judgement 23 Jimmy Goggles the god 24 Miss Winchelsea's Heart 25 A Dream of Armageddon  Part VI26 The Valley of Spiders 27 The New Accelerator 28 The Truth about Pyecraft 29 The Magic Shop 30 The Empire of the Ants  Part VII31 The Door in the Wall 32 The Country of the Blind 33 The Beautiful Suit Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy. Vol 2, Part VIII.

War and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, Voyna i mir; in original orthography: Война и миръ, Voyna i mir") is an epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels.War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy's time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (From Wikipedia.)Translated by Aylmer Maude (1858 - 1938).This is the second of four volumes, reading in progress. The second volume covers the years from 1806 to 1812.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
