  Under the Redwoods by Bret Harte evokes the grandeur and mystery of California’s redwood forests and the diverse communities that lived among them. The story weaves together tales of early settlers, Native Americans, Spanish missionaries, and gold seekers, blending history, myth, and local legend. Rich in atmosphere and regional color, the stories explore themes of love, loss, identity, and the clash of cultures in the American West. With Harte’s signature blend of sentiment, irony, and vivid storytelling, this lesser-known work offers a nostalgic and often poignant glimpse into a vanishing world beneath the towering trees—where romance, fate, and memory intertwine in the shadows of the ancient forest.

  Ernest Hemingway's first novel, "The Sun Also Rises," follows the adventures of a group of young, hard-drinking, American expatriates - which Hemingway refers to as the "Lost Generation" - as they pinball through Europe, from France to Spain and back again. Directionless, disillusioned and fueled by copious amounts of alcohol, narrator Jake Barnes takes the reader into the heart of 1920's Europe, particularly Paris and Pamplona (where the characters witness the infamous running of the bulls and Jake develops as fascination with bullfighting). At once cynical and satiric, "The Sun Also Rises" was the first cry of a new literary voice that would come to dominate the first half of the 20th century.The seminal novel from Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway, the book appears here in its unabridged and original format.
