Mr. Midshipman Easy - Frederick Marryat - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Mr. Midshipman Easy - Frederick Marryat - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Mr. Midshipman Easy (1836) is a novel by Frederick Marryat. Inspired by the author’s experience as a captain in the Royal Navy, Mr. Midshipman Easy is a tale of bravery, foolishness, and the manifold reasons for men to take to the high seas. Frequently funny, often profound, Marryat’s novel is an underappreciated classic of nineteenth century fiction that has been adapted twice for British cinema. “‘Then, father, all I have to say is, that I swear by the rights of man I will not go back to school, and that I will go to sea. Who and what is to prevent me? Was not I born my own master?—has any one a right to dictate to me as if I were not his equal? Have I not as much right to my share of the sea as any other mortal? I stand upon perfect equality,’ continued Jack, stamping his right foot on the floor.” Fueled by his father’s philosophical ideas on liberty and equality, Jack Easy decides he will prove himself in a place where all men are equals. Despite his bravery, he soon finds that ideals will get one nowhere in the service of the Royal Navy. Working below deck with the African cook Mephistopheles Faust, Jack learns the secrets of the ship and encounters a lesson in discipline he will never forget. As he rises through the ranks and makes a name for himself during the fierce fighting of the Napoleonic Wars, Jack discovers new depths to his fortitude that would never have showed themselves had he stayed on land. This edition of Frederick Marryat’s Mr. Midshipman Easy is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead - Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead - Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead: A Thrilling Detective Story (1894) is a novel by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett. While she is mostly remembered today for New Amazonia , a feminist utopian novel which depicts the emergence of an advanced society of women in the not-so-distant future, Corbett was also a pioneering detective novelist whose heroine Annie Cory is one of the first female sleuths in literary history. While little is known about Corbett, her surviving novels and stories suggest she was a passionate campaigner for women’s suffrage in an era of conservative politics and traditional values. “‘There has been a robbery of a serious and extensive nature, and you are suspected of being the thief,’ said the detective, carefully watching the face of the stricken Harley. ‘It is my duty to arrest you in the name of the law, and I warn you against saying anything that may be construed against you at the trial.’” Harley Riddell, a trustworthy jeweler, is framed for the theft of priceless diamonds. Arrested and sentenced to five years in a penal colony, he fears that his life will never be the same. But in his darkest hour, Harley’s fiancée Annie Cory remains by his side. With the help of her dog Briny, her father, Harley’s brother, and her formidable aunt, Annie uses her skills as an amateur sleuth to find the real criminals and free her love from prison. Regarded as one of the earliest novels to feature a female detective, When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead: A Thrilling Detective Story is true to its name from start to finish. This edition of Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett’s When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead: A Thrilling Detective Story is a classic of detective fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Up From Slavery - Booker T. Washington - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Up From Slavery - Booker T. Washington - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

From a child slave put to hard labor to a college president and advisor to presidents, Booker T. Washington’s autobiography powerfully describes his journey and what it taught him about the possible future of Blacks in the United States. This autobiography is a cornerstone work of African-American literature. Washington tells of his experience in bondage as a child-slave, the hard labor he performed in salt mines post-slavery, and the role of his mother in demonstrating the strength and values that enabled him to continue to strive and rise above these often brutal circumstances. His hard-won education led him to become a teacher and build Tuskegee University with bare minimum resources, much of it literally one brick at a time. Despite these challenges, and encountering white opposition to the very concept of educating blacks, Washington believed that failing to make the university a reality would be a disservice to blacks nationwide. Inspiring throughout, the author advocates self-reliance through productive work, community service, and perseverance, and without bravado presents himself as a worthy example of how successful this path can be. His book still generates controversy as his conception of the rise of blacks through personal industry, leading gradually to their advancement in society, was deemed by some to be a slow and costly compromise. Others saw it as an example of pragmatic realism borne of necessity in the Reconstruction era South. Regardless of latter-day interpretations, Up From Slavery is a powerful document of how one man rose to prominence against terrible odds, then used his success and fame in a sustained attempt to better the lives of his fellows. This is an indispensable document of Black lives in an era scarcely more than 100 years in the past and its account of courage and dedication will not be forgotten. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Up From Slavery is both modern and readable.

The Garden of God - Henry De Vere Stacpoole - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Garden of God - Henry De Vere Stacpoole - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Garden of God (1923) is a novel by Henry De Vere Stacpoole. The second in a trilogy of novels including The Blue Lagoon (1908) and The Gates of Morning (1925), The Garden of God is a story of romance and adventure inspired by the author’s travels in the South Pacific. The novel was adapted into the film Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), a sequel to the 1980 hit drama starring Brooke Shields. “The whale boat and the dinghy lay together, gunnels grinding as they lifted to the swell. […] [B]eyond and around from sky-line to sky-line the blue Pacific lay desolate beneath the day. ‘They are dead.’ He was gazing at the forms on the dinghy, the form of a girl with a child embraced in one arm, and a youth. Clasping one another, they seemed asleep.” Aboard the whaling vessel Raratonga , Arthur Lestrange discovers his long-lost son and niece after years of searching. As they pull up alongside their fishing boat, however, he realizes they are too late—the shipwrecked youths have succumbed to the elements. Between them, a child lies asleep, offering some hope to the devastated father and crew. Visited by Dick and Emmeline in a dream, Arthur endeavors to return to Palm Tree, the island where they raised their son in peace. There, the boy is brought up by his grandfather and a crewmember named Jim Kearney, who keep him safe and teach him the ways of survival. When a beautiful Kanaka native named Karolin arrives from a nearby atoll, he discovers something no one could have prepared him for: love.

Paul Bunyan - James Stevens - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Paul Bunyan - James Stevens - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Paul Bunyan (1925) is a novel by James Stevens. Written from a lifetime of experience as a logger and historian of the logging industry, Paul Bunyan is a masterful take on one of the defining legends of the Pacific Northwest. Combining his own stories with those he heard at logging camps as a young boy, Stevens earned a reputation as a leading folklorist of his time whose novels and songs continue to resonate decades after his death. “He could whip his weight in wildcats, could pull clouds out of the sky, or chew up stones, or tell the whole world anything!” Larger than life, Paul Bunyan is a logger whose legend began with the Papineau Rebellion of 1837. As a defender of young Queen Victoria’s right to the forests of Canada, Bunyan fought fiercely against French loggers alongside his comrades armed with mattocks, axes, and hooks. Emerging victorious, he settles down to a life in nature, building his logging camp and roaming the woods with his trusted blue ox Babe. From his boyhood in the lumber camps of Idaho to his time as a logger in Oregon, James Stevens collected the tales of Bunyan from the more experienced men of the woods, eventually becoming the foremost expert on one of the Pacific Northwest’s greatest heroes.

Under Western Eyes - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Under Western Eyes - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Growing up as an orphan, Razumou adopted the belief that all of Russia was his family, a sentiment that he carries into his higher education. Because of this, when talks of revolution start arising in Russia, Razumou decides to stay neutral. However, this becomes increasingly difficult when most of his classmates start to express their ardent support for a revolution. Still, Razumou decides not to take a stand on either side. Since he feels all of Russia is his family, Razumou equates choosing a side to betrayal. He is privileged enough to hold this neutrality for a while, though, after the assassination of the Minister of the State, Razumou must chose a side. Haldin, one of Razumou’s classmates, shows up at Razumou’s flat looking disheveled and hoping for asylum after having participated in the assassination of a Russian leader. Reluctantly, Razumou agrees to help Haldin. Feeling guilty and paranoid, Razumou slips into an identity crisis, and is forced to weigh the consequences as he struggles to decide whether to continue providing aid for Haldin, or turn his classmate in to the authorities. Considered to be one of Joseph Conrad’s major works, Under Western Eyes explores the injustice in the suffering of lower classes, and the unethical disregard for such social problems held by the rich. Narrated by a Swiss English teacher, Under Western Eyes is a unique perspective on revolutions, applicable to both the failed and successful Russian revolutions, changing the audience’s perception depending on when it is read. A friend to all is a friend to none, so with the use of complicated moral themes and troublesome characters, Under Western Eyes questions the possibility of a truly neutral party.

The Snake’s Pass (1890) is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written at the beginning of his career, The Snake’s Pass helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. The Snake’s Pass is based on the story of Saint Patrick, the legendary hero who cast the serpents out of Ireland forever. During a violent storm, Arthur Severn and his driver Andy are forced to take shelter in Carnacliff, a town in County Clare. Waiting out the weather in the local bar, Arthur listens to a story of the King of Snakes, who is rumored to remain—despite being banished by Saint Patrick—in order to watch over his crown. Whenever a fog rolls over the town, the local people say it is the spirit of the terrible king, returned once more to ensure his treasure stays hidden. That same evening, Arthur meets a man known as Black Murdock, a vindictive landowner and usurer who manipulates the poor folk of Carnacliff. Against his own interests, Arthur decides to remain in town to help a man whose land was taken from him by Murdock, only to be swept up in a quest to find the Lost Crown of Gold.

The Unclassed - George Gissing - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Unclassed - George Gissing - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Unclassed (1884) is a novel by George Gissing. Inspired by his own struggles as a working writer forced to take up odd jobs while failing to gain traction with critics and readers, Gissing crafts a tale of talent, ambition, and romance fallen victim to the vicissitudes of class. The Unclassed poses important questions about convention in Victorian England while proving surprisingly relevant for our own times. Struggling to make it as a lower-class Londoner, Osmond Waymark finds himself unable to give up his literary ambitions. Desperate and lonely, he strikes up a friendship with Julian Casti, a similarly down-and-out young writer who suffers from both poverty and xenophobia as the son of Italian immigrants. When Julian agrees to an ill-advised marriage to Harriet Smales, a rude young woman, he inadvertently exposes Osmond to her manipulative and vindictive ways. As Osmond falls for Ida Starr, a prostitute’s daughter driven to rise above her circumstances, he unwittingly angers Harriet, whose friend Maud is secretly in love with him. In a shocking turn of events, Harriet conspires to get Ida arrested for theft, then maneuvers to get Osmond into the arms of Maud. The two become engaged, leaving Ida—the novel’s heroine—to rely on her wits and survival instinct to not only prove her innocence, but win back the man she loves. In The Unclassed , Gissing explores the limits of social mobility, the struggles faced by young writers, and the power of jealousy to poison both promise and hope. This edition of George Gissing’s The Unclassed is a classic work of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen - Lili'uokalani - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen - Lili'uokalani - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Hawaii''s Story by Hawaii''s Queen is a moving personal portrait of a girl who grew up to become Hawaii’s first and only queen, a beloved monarch who fought for the rights of her people. Hawaii''s Story by Hawaii''s Queen is an autobiography by Queen Lili‘uokalani. Published in 1898, the book was written in the aftermath of Lili‘uokalani’s attempt to appeal on behalf of her people to President Grover Cleveland, a personal friend. Although it inspired Cleveland to demand her reinstatement, the United States Congress published the Morgan Report in 1894, which denied U.S. involvement in the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Hawaii''s Story by Hawaii''s Queen appeared four years later as a final effort by Lili‘uokalani to advocate on behalf of Hawaiian sovereignty, but it unfortunately came too late. That same year, President McKinley and the United States Congress approved the annexation of Hawaii. In Hawaii''s Story by Hawaii''s Queen , Lili‘uokalani reflects on her experiences as a young girl growing up on Oahu, where she was raised as a member of the extended royal family of King Kamehameha III. Born in Honolulu, she was educated among her fellow royals from a young age. In addition to her studies, Lili‘uokalani developed an artistic sensibility early on, and was fond of both writing and music. She crafted the lyrics to the popular song “Aloha ‘Oe” (1878), just one of the more than 100 songs she would write in her lifetime. Although her book was unsuccessful as an attempt to advocate for Hawaiian sovereignty and the restoration of the monarchy, it has since been recognized as a moving personal portrait of a girl who grew up to become Hawaii’s first and only queen, a beloved monarch who fought for the rights of her people. With a professionally designed cover and manuscript, this edition of Lili‘uokalani’s Hawaii''s Story by Hawaii''s Queen is a classic of Hawaiian literature designed for the modern audience.

Jamaica Anansi Stories - Martha Warren Beckwith - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Jamaica Anansi Stories is a collection of folklore by Martha Warren Beckwith. Having studied under famed ethnographer Franz Boas at Columbia University, Beckwith dedicated her career to recording and contextualizing the traditions of people from around the world. Specializing in Jamaican, Hawaiian, Sioux, and Mandan-Hidatsa cultures, Beckwith published widely acclaimed works of folklore and ethnography through her interviews with native storytellers around the world. “One great hungry time. Anansi couldn''t get anyt''ing to eat, so he take up his hand-basket an'' a big pot an'' went down to the sea-side to catch fish. When he reach there, he make up a large fire and put the pot on the fire, an'' say, ‘Come, big fish!’” Opening her collection with the lighthearted and instructional “Animal Stories,” many of which record the conflicts between Anansi and the Tiger, Beckwith introduces her reader to one of central figures of Jamaican folklore. Associated with resistance, play, and resourcefulness, Anansi was a symbol of hope for a people subjected to centuries of slavery. Situated alongside similar tales from Europe, popular songs, riddles, and jokes, the Anansi stories form an invaluable part of Jamaican culture and of other Caribbean and American cultures who trace their origins to West Africa.

Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow - Jerome K. Jerome - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow - Jerome K. Jerome - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Featuring twelve simple yet profound essays, Jerome K. Jerome’s Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is a humorous and clever collection. Each essay is crafted around a timeless and relatable issue, such as the unfortunately common inability to make decisions. On the Art of Making Up One’s Mind observes this to be a common practice. Beginning with the story of a young woman who cannot decide what color of garment to buy, this essay takes notice of the everyday day occurrences of this struggle, comparing the experience for men and women. As a common theme in the collection, societal expectations and assumptions about gender play a main role in many of the essays, tackling topics such as relationships and dating. However, other essays focus on the universal experience of being human, separate from implications of gender. This is portrayed in On the Exceptional Merit Attaching to the Things We Meant to Do through the narrative of a failed craft. Despite shortcomings, pride always finds a way to warp reality, which is why Jerome ironically warns against taking advice in the essay On the Inadvisability of Following Advice. With discussions of pride, intention, vices, and ideals, Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow addresses the truths of topics that are simultaneously overlooked, yet universally experienced. With satirical prose and thoughtful reflection, Jerome K. Jerome combines humor and sentiment in Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow , presenting serious topics without intimidation, inviting thought and laughter. Though first published over one-hundred years ago in 1898, Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow feature timeless and universal themes and realizations that remain to be clever and relevant to modern-day society. This edition of Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow by Jerome K. Jerome is presented in an easy-to-read font and features an eye-catching new cover design.
