Recommended Some Best Literary Studies Books

  • Winter amid the Ice, and Other Thrilling Stories : Un hivernage dans les glaces is the English title of Jules Verne's 1855 short adventure tale. The story was initially published in the periodical Musée des Familles in April or May 1855. Pierre-Jules Hetzel later reproduced it as part of the Voyages Extraordinary series in the collection Doctor Ox (1874). In 1874, three English versions (George Makepeace Towle's "A Winter amid the Ice," Abby L. Alger's "A Winter Among the Ice-Fields," and Stephen William White's "A Winter's Sojourn in the Ice") were released. The book tells the tale of Jean Cornbutte, who chooses to rebuild the ship and sail to the north in search of his son Louis and other crew members after they fail to return from sea. His son's fiancée, Marie, and the ship's first officer, André Vasling, who would be his son's rival for her affections, are traveling with him. Jules Verne published a brief tale of adventure called A Winter Amid The Ice in 1855. Given that this is a Jules Verne tale, Jean makes the decision to replenish the ship and set off on a quest to discover what happened to his son. Andre also has hidden agendas, one of which is to wed Marie himself.
  • English novelist Anna Sewell published her book Black Beauty in 1877.The novel is written in the first person by the eponymous horse Black Beauty as an autobiographical biography, starting with his carefree days as a foal on an English farm with his mother, through his challenging time pulling taxis in London, and ending with his content retirement in the country. He encounters several challenges along the journey and tells many tales of brutality and generosity. Each brief chapter tells an event in Black Beauty's life that has a lesson or moral that is often connected to treating horses with love, sympathy, and understanding. Sewell's in-depth observations and exhaustive descriptions of horse behavior give the book a lot of realism.
  • Plato's conversation is known as Cratylus (Ancient Greek: Kratylos). In it, Socrates is questioned about whether names are ""conventional"" or ""natural,"" or if language is merely a set of random signals, or if words have an essential connection to the things they symbolize. The majority of contemporary academics concur that it was mostly composed during Plato's supposedly middle era.As an artist employs color to convey the core of his topic in a painting, Socrates compares the production of a word to the labor of an artist in Cratylus. The best way to talk is to use names that are similar to the things they name (that is, names that are appropriate for them), and the worst way to speak is to use names that are not like the things they name.According to one theory, names have developed owing to tradition and convention, thus individuals who use them can replace them with something unrelated. The opposite approach holds that names come about because they express the essence of their topic. Many of the terms that Socrates gives as examples may have originated from a concept that was formerly associated with the name, but they have since evolved.
  • Chief Inspector Red Kerry makes his debut in the non-Fu Manchu book Dope, a Story of Chinatown. Kerry is a skilled police officer who used both brains and muscle to outwit and apprehend the criminals that pose a threat to his city and its residents. He has red hair and is a strong man physically (Rohmer plays up the description more than once during the book). He tolerates very little BS, even from his fellow cops. He has the support of his superiors since he is incorruptible and produces results.The UK did not have prohibition during the beginning of the 20th century, and people had the same glitzy lifestyle that Americans did before the Great Depression. Drugs and alcohol fueled the population growth. Kerry is attempting to uncover a mystery involving a mystic/drug dealer who becomes entangled in a web of desire and treachery.
  • J. M. Barrie wrote a biography on his mother and family in Scotland in the late 19th century titled Margaret Ogilvy: Life Is a Long Lesson in Humility. It was the seventh-best-selling book in the US in 1897, according to The Bookman. The book features family memories and was written as an homage to Barrie's mother. In the book, Barrie describes his mother telling him stories about her youth and attributes his passion for reading to her. The biography of her Scottish-born mother and family by J. M. Barrie is titled Margaret Ogilvy: Life Is a Long Lesson in Humility. It was the seventh-best selling in the US in 1897, according to The Bookman. The best-known work by Scottish author and playwright Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, is Peter Pan. He was grown and born in Scotland before relocating to London to pen a number of well-liked books and plays.
  • J. M. Barrie created Peter and Wendy, also referred to as Peter Pan, as a 1904 play and a 1911 book. Both versions depict Peter Pan as a cheeky youngster with the ability to fly who has numerous adventures on the mythical island of Neverland, home to mermaids, fairies, "Indians" (American-Indians), pirates, and other fantastical creatures. The characters Wendy Darling and her brothers John and Michael, Tinker Bell, Peter's fairy, the Lost Boys, and Captain Hook also appear in the Peter Pan stories. Barrie's acquaintance with the Llewelyn Davies family served as the basis for both the play and the book. After the play's initial performance, Barrie continued to make revisions until the play's script was published in 1928. The play's world premiere took place at the Duke of York's Theatre in London on December 27, 1904, with Nina Boucicault, the playwright's daughter, playing the main character. In 1905, a Broadway show starring Maude Adams was presented. Later, it was brought back with actors like Marilyn Miller and Eva Le Gallienne. Hodder & Stoughton in the UK and Charles Scribner's Sons in the US both released the book for the first time in 1911.
  • John S. Robertson is the director of the 1921 American silent drama movie Sentimental Tommy. Although Mary Astor's portions were cut before the film's release, it featured her in one of her earliest roles. The plot is based on the book by James M. Barrie. Gareth Hughes starred in the movie, which is now regarded as a lost movie. Grizel (McAvoy) is the Painted Lady's (Taliaferro) daughter, who, according to a movie publication, is convinced that her beloved would one day return. The other youngsters in the town shun Grizel. Elspeth Frost and Tommy Sandys (Hughes) visit the community. Although Tommy is amiable, Elspeth keeps her distance. Dr. Gemmell (Greene), after the Painted Lady passes away, hires Grizel as his housekeeper. After the doctor passes away, Grizel, who is now 21 years old, falls in love with Tommy, a writer in London. While in town, Tommy struggles with his feelings for Grizel. After Tommy leaves for London, Grizel becomes insane because she believes Tommy doesn't love her. Even though Tommy is convinced that Grizel would despise him when she recovers, he goes back and marries her.
  • Socrates and Phaedrus, an interlocutor in multiple dialogues, engage in a conversation in Plato's work The Phaedrus. Like Plato's Republic and Symposium, The Phaedrus was probably written around 370 BCE. Although the dialogue is apparently about the subject of love, it actually focuses on the art of rhetoric and how it should be used, as well as topics as varied as metempsychosis (the Greek belief in reincarnation) and sensual love. The classic Chariot Allegory, which depicts the human soul as consisting of a charioteer, a good horse heading upward to the divine, and a bad horse tending downhill to a material incarnation, is one of the dialogue's key passages. Unusually, the dialogue doesn't establish itself as a recounting of the day's events. The dialogue is presented in the straight, unmediated words of Socrates and Phaedrus; there are no intermediaries to set up the discussion or provide background information; it is delivered firsthand, as though we are present for the actual occurrences. This contrasts with dialogues like the Symposium, in which Plato openly provides us with a partial, fifth-hand account of the day's events by creating a number of layers between them and what we hear about them.
  • John Buchan, a Scot, wrote the adventure book The Thirty-Nine Steps.Richard Hannay, a mining engineer who had previously worked in Rhodesia, returns to London in 1914. Franklin P. Scudder, a neighbor, claims to be investigating a group of German spies known as the Black Stone who are attempting to steal Britain's naval defense blueprints in preparation for war. Hannay leaves his flat while it is being watched, feeling as though he now has to thwart the plan. He poses as the milkman. Hannay boards an eastbound train but deviates from the path by getting off between stops. He ultimately comes upon an inn and convinces the proprietor to let him remain the night.Fortunately, when on the moor, he comes upon a road mechanic who is severely intoxicated. The grateful employee is sent home for the day when Hannay offers to take over for him. Unfortunately, it turns out that person is Hannay's lethal foe and the head of the spy ring. Unexpectedly, he gets a call from London informing him that Karolides has been killed. The next morning, when Hannay and Sir Walter return to London, they clear his record with Scotland Yard, which then releases him.
  • Anticipations : He considers the steam engine to be the 19th century's most defining emblem and examines its abrupt appearance. According to Wells, the pace of land movement will fundamentally alter human culture. According to Wells, there will be four social strata created by technology in the 20th century. He says that families in this class will live in well-run homes without a need for housekeepers. Jonathan H.B. Wells contends in Democracy and Other Essays on Statecraft that the term "democracy" is vague and just refers to the denial of a certain person or individuals' ability to act on behalf of the population at large. The growing range and precision of the rifle and field gun establish the "new battle." Wells predicts that war will become less "dramatic" and more "monstrous." He expects that by the year 2000, many multilingual societies would speak languages like Spanish and Russian as a second language. Wells believes that due to the interconnectedness of the economy, culture, and politics, "a New Republic" would eventually rule the world. He discussed the future of society and how authorities will utilize science to "euthanize the weak and the sensual" in Anticipations.
