  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

  WHEN FACED WITH THE MONSTER OF VENGEANCE, YOU HAVE TO ASK: WHOSE BLOOD WILL PAINT THE WHITE OF THE WOODS? 
  It was supposed to be a cozy winter in their new cabin, but it started with a cantankerous silvertip grizzly wreaking havoc on everything. That would prove to be the least of their problems in the coming winter… 
  After a trading foray to visit their neighbors, the Salish, two days north, everything seemed to get turned upside down. They found themselves in contested territory with a band of honor seeking young bucks from the Siksika band that sought to gain scalps and captives from their sworn enemies, the Salish. And that wasn’t enough to upset their peaceful plans, but when Gabe, or Spirit Bear, found out the Blackfoot had stolen the mares bred by his stallion and were carrying foals that belonged to him, it became personal. 
  “Excitement, daring hardship, combined with a Christian edge, makes this a very captivating, page-turning story.”

  With his sense of humor and ability to observe, Nikolai Gogol presents the world with stories of little people: the weak and fragile people who try to hold on to life in the gloomy cities of Russia. "The Mantle", which is listed among his masterpieces, describes how Russian bureaucracy turns everyone into a ghost of each other. It tells the tragicomic story of a poor low-ranking official named Akakiy Akakiyevich Bashmachkin, a faint character living on the margins of society who spends all his time diligently copying documents. Drawn into bureaucratic mechanisms of modern life, humiliated, and despised, hе finds solace in his fondest dream: a mantle that will protect him from the cold in the winter. This humble dream, however, will cost him way too much and will turn his life upside down...Adapted into a variety of stage and film interpretations, the story is a major milestone in Russian literature, as expressed by in a quote often attributed to Fyodor Dostoyevsky: "We have all come out from under Gogol's Mantle".

  The Great Gatsby

  The Great Gatsby, set in the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties on Long Island, New York, is a poignant critique of the American Dream. The novel is not just a love story but a tragic tale of ambition, class, and the illusion of social mobility, encapsulated in the era's excess and disillusionment. When the novel was first published in 1925, it did not enjoy immediate commercial success. Only around 20,000 copies were sold in its first year, and Fitzgerald himself considered it a commercial disappointment. By the time of his death in 1940, Fitzgerald felt his work, including Gatsby, had been forgotten, with sales being so low that he was reportedly buying copies himself to keep it in print. The novel's fortunes changed dramatically during World War II when the Council on Books in Wartime chose it for distribution to American soldiers, printing over 155,000 copies. This initiative significantly boosted its popularity and recognition, transforming it from a largely forgotten work into an American classic. Today, The Great Gatsby sells approximately 500,000 copies annually, with total sales reaching over 25 million copies worldwide since its original publication. It has become Scribner's best-selling title, illustrating its enduring appeal and commercial success. Overall, The Great Gatsby has not only achieved commercial success but has also left a profound and lasting impact on American literature and culture, embodying the complexities and contradictions of the American experience. 
  F. Scott Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His works are emblematic of the Jazz Age, particularly capturing the spirit and excesses of the Roaring Twenties in America.
