Henry D. Thoreau traveled to the backwoods of Maine in 1846, 1853, and 1857. Originally published in 1864, and published now with a new introduction by Paul Theroux, this volume is a powerful telling of those journeys through a rugged and largely unspoiled land. It presents Thoreau's fullest account of the wilderness.
The Maine Woods is classic Thoreau: a personal story of exterior and interior discoveries in a natural setting--all conveyed in taut, masterly prose. Thoreau's evocative renderings of the life of the primitive forest--its mountains, waterways, fauna, flora, and inhabitants--are timeless and valuable on their own. But his impassioned protest against the despoilment of nature in the name of commerce and sport, which even by the 1850s threatened to deprive Americans of the "tonic of wildness," makes The Maine Woods an especially vital book for our own time.

The Golden Bowl by Henry James
Global Language Resources, Inc. (2001) | Pages: 441
PDF + DjVu | English | 1.34 + 2.80 MB
This story of the alliance between Italian aristocracy and American millionaires is a work unique among all James's novels. It is his only novel in which things come out right for his characters.
He had finally resolved the questions, curious and passionate, that had kept him at his desk on his inquiries into the process of living. He could now make his peace with America--and he could now collect and unify the work of a lifetime.
The Golden Bowl is the story of two flawed marriages. The lives and relationships of Maggie Verver and her widowed American millionaire father, Adam, are changed and challenged by the beautiful and charming Charlotte Stant, who is the former lover of Maggie's husband, the impoverished Italian, Prince Amerigo. The narrative is underpinned by complex symbolism. The gilded crystal bowl with its almost invisible flaw is the vehicle which James uses to reveal past misdemeanours and make his characters face their own defects in this classic tale of redemption.

The Call of the Wild by Jack London

Beautifully written tale of survival of the fittest in the Wild. London perfectly manages to transpose quite human attributes to both wolf and dog in order for the reader to immerse in the realities of the sublime yet brutal life in the Wild... In doing so, London gives us the chance to communicate with our instincts and react to the events in the book rather than rationalising them.

Herman Melville's Moby Dick first appeared in 1851. It is in no way an immature work, though Melville was little over thirty when he wrote it. His unimaginable crowded years of experience in trading vessel, whaler and man-of -war were already behind him; already he had written five other books, including Typee, Omoo and Redburn. Moby Dick is not a book one would offer to a young novelist as a model; though to most of its admirers it is a book more returnable to than any other.

The Mad Hatter, the Ugly Duchess, the Mock Turtle, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat-characters each more eccentric than the last, and that could only have come from Lewis Carroll, the master of sublime nonsense. In these two brilliant burlesques he created two of the most famous and fantastic novels of all time that not only stirred our imagination but revolutionized literature.
