Weapons of Mystery - Bog af Joseph Hocking & Hocking Joseph Hocking - Hardback

Weapons of Mystery - Bog af Joseph Hocking & Hocking Joseph Hocking - Hardback

My story begins on the morning of December 18, 18-, while sitting at breakfast. Let it be understood before we go further that I was a bachelor living in lodgings. I had been left an orphan just before I came of age, and was thus cast upon the world at a time when it is extremely dangerous for young men to be alone. Especially was it so in my case, owing to the fact that at twenty-one I inherited a considerable fortune. One thing saved me from ruin, viz. a passionate love for literature, which led..

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Very late indeed in May, but early in the morning, Laurel Ammidon lay in bed considering two widely different aspects of chairs. The day before she had been eleven, and the comparative maturity of that age had filled her with a moving disdain for certain fanciful thoughts which had given her extreme youth a decidedly novel if not an actually..

The Inheritors - Bog af Joseph Conrad & Ford M Hueffer - Hardback

The Inheritors - Bog af Joseph Conrad & Ford M Hueffer - Hardback

Ideas, she said. \Oh, as for ideas-\ \Well?\ I hazarded, \as for ideas-?\ We went through the old gateway and I cast a glance over my shoulder. The noon sun was shining over the masonry, over the little saints' effigies, over the little fretted canopies, the grime and the white streaks of bird-dropping. \There,\ I said, pointing toward it, \doesn't that suggest something to you?\ She made a motion with her head-half negative, half contemptuous. \But,\ I stuttered, \the associations-the..

Within the Tides - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

Within the Tides - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

In the private editorial office of the principal newspaper in a great colonial city two men were talking. They were both young. The stouter of the two, fair, and with more of an urban look about him, was the editor and part-owner of the important newspaper. The other's name was Renouard. That he was exercised in his mind about something was evident on his fine bronzed face. He was a lean, lounging, active man. The journalist continued the conversation. \And so you were dining yesterday at old Dunster's.\..

The Secret Agent - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

The Secret Agent - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

Mr Verloc, going out in the morning, left his shop nominally in charge of his brother-in-law. It could be done, because there was very little business at any time, and practically none at all before the evening. Mr Verloc cared but little about his ostensible business. And, moreover, his wife was in charge of his brother-in-law. The shop was small, and so was the house. It was one of those grimy brick houses which existed in large quantities before the era of reconstruction dawned upon London. The..

English Fairy Tales - Bog af Joseph Jacobs - Hardback

English Fairy Tales - Bog af Joseph Jacobs - Hardback

Who says that English folk have no fairy-tales of their own? The present volume contains only a selection out of some 140, of which I have found traces in this country. It is probable that many more exist. A quarter of the tales in this volume, have been collected during the last ten years or so, and some of them have not been hitherto published. Up to 1870 it was equally said of France and of Italy, that they possessed no folk-tales. Yet, within fifteen years from that date, over 1000 tales had..

The Shadow Line - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

The Shadow Line - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

Only the young have such moments. I don't mean the very young. No. The very young have, properly speaking, no moments. It is the privilege of early youth to live in advance of its days in all the beautiful continuity of hope which knows no pauses and no introspection. One closes behind one the little gate of mere boyishness-and enters an enchanted garden. Its very shades glow with promise. Every turn of the path has its seduction. And it isn't because it is an undiscovered country. One knows well..

The Borough Treasurer - Bog af Joseph Smith Fletcher & Smith Fletcher Joseph Smith Fletcher - Hardback

The Borough Treasurer - Bog af Joseph Smith Fletcher & Smith Fletcher Joseph Smith Fletcher - Hardback

Half way along the north side of the main street of Highmarket an ancient stone gateway, imposing enough to suggest that it was originally the entrance to some castellated mansion or manor house, gave access to a square yard, flanked about by equally ancient buildings. What those buildings had been used for in other days was not obvious to the casual and careless observer, but to the least observant their present use was obvious enough. Here were piles of timber from Norway; there were stacks of..

The Texan Star - Bog af Joseph a Altsheler - Hardback

The Texan Star - Bog af Joseph a Altsheler - Hardback

A boy and a man sat in a room of a stone house in the ancient City of Mexico, capital in turn of Aztec, Spaniard and Mexican. They could see through the narrow windows masses of low buildings and tile roofs, and beyond, the swelling shape of great mountains, standing clear against the blue sky. But they had looked upon them so often that the mind took no note of the luminous spectacle. The cry of a water-seller or the occasional jingle of a spur came from the street below, but these, too, were familiar..

The Arrow of Gold - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

The Arrow of Gold - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

Certain streets have an atmosphere of their own, a sort of universal fame and the particular affection of their citizens. One of such streets is the Cannebiere, and the jest: \If Paris had a Cannebiere it would be a little Marseilles\ is the jocular expression of municipal pride. I, too, I have been under the spell. For me it has been a street leading into the unknown. There was a part of it where one could see as many as five big cafes in a resplendent row. That evening I strolled into one of..

A Set of Six - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

A Set of Six - Bog af Joseph Conrad - Hardback

A revolutionary war raises many strange characters out of the obscurity which is the common lot of humble lives in an undisturbed state of society. Certain individualities grow into fame through their vices and their virtues, or simply by their actions, which may have a temporary importance; and then they become forgotten. The names of a few leaders alone survive the end of armed strife and are further preserved in history; so that, vanishing from men's active memories, they still exist in books...

The Texan Scouts - Bog af Joseph a Altsheler - Hardback

The horseman rode slowly toward the west, stopping once or twice to examine the wide circle of the horizon with eyes that were trained to note every aspect of the wilderness. On his right the plains melted away in gentle swell after swell, until they met the horizon. Their brown surface was broken only by the spiked and thorny cactus and stray bits of chaparral. On his left was the wide bed of a river which flowed through the sand, breaking here and there into several streams, and then reuniting,..

By the Golden Gate - Bog af Joseph Carey - Hardback

By the Golden Gate - Bog af Joseph Carey - Hardback

This work now offered to the public owes its origin largely to the following circumstance: On the return of the author from California and the city of Mexico, in November, 1901, his friend, the Rev. John N. Marvin, President of the Diocesan Press, asked him to contribute some articles to the Diocese of Albany. From these \sketches\ of San Francisco this book has taken form. There are chapters in the volume which have not appeared in print hitherto, and such portions as have been already published..

You have the keenest eyes in the troop. Can you see anything ahead? asked Colonel Winchester. \Nothing living, sir,\ replied Dick Mason, as he swept his powerful glasses in a half-curve. \There are hills on the right and in the center, covered with thick, green forest, and on the left, where the land lies low, the forest is thick and green too, although I think I catch a flash of water in it.\ \That should be the little river of which our map tells. And you, Warner, what do your eyes tell you?\..

The Scouts of Stonewall - Bog af Joseph a Altsheler - Hardback

A young officer in dingy Confederate gray rode slowly on a powerful bay horse through a forest of oak. It was a noble woodland, clear of undergrowth, the fine trees standing in rows, like those of a park. They were bare of leaves but the winter had been mild so far, and a carpet of short grass, yet green, covered the ground. To the rider's right flowed a small river of clear water, one of the beautiful streams of the great Virginia valleys. Harry Kenton threw his head back a little and drew deep..

Dick Mason, caught in the press of a beaten army, fell back slowly with his comrades toward a ford of Bull Run. The first great battle of the Civil War had been fought and lost. Lost, after it had been won! Young as he was Dick knew that fortune had been with the North until the very closing hour. He did not yet know how it had been done. He did not know how the Northern charges had broken in vain on the ranks of Stonewall Jackson's men. He did not know how the fresh Southern troops from the Valley..

The Sword of Antietam - Bog af Joseph a Altsheler - Hardback

The first youth rode to the crest of the hill, and, still sitting on his horse, examined the country in the south with minute care through a pair of powerful glasses. The other two dismounted and waited patiently. All three were thin and their faces were darkened by sun and wind. But they were strong alike of body and soul. Beneath the faded blue uniforms brave hearts beat and powerful muscles responded at once to every command of the will.
