Summary

Annie Hamilton Donnell's 'Judith Lynn: A Story of the Sea' is an evocative narrative woven with the threads of seafaring life that captures the imagination with its delicate prose and textured storytelling. Set against the looming backdrop of the ocean, Donnell's work is steeped in the literary tradition of the early 20th-century American novel, where the landscapes and seascapes form as much a character as the protagonists themselves. Part of DigiCat Publishing's special edition series, the book has been meticulously reformatted, bridging the essence of its historical significance to the accessibility of modern readership, and presented in both print and electronic form, honoring its valued place in world literature.nAnnie Hamilton Donnell, born in 1862, was a gifted storyteller, and her narratives often reflected the mores and preoccupations of her time. 'Judith Lynn' emerges from this rich milieu, revealing Donnell's profound connection to the sea and the communities that livelihoods entwined with its mercurial nature. Her insightful reflections on human resilience and adaptability to the forces of nature resonate throughout the novel, likely influenced by her own observations and experiences of coastal life.nFor those who yearn to be swept up in a tale that echoes the call of the ocean and the quiet strength of its people, 'Judith Lynn' promises a poignant journey. It is a perfect selection for readers who appreciate classic literature that offers a window into another era's heart and soul, and it stands as a testimony to the enduring power of storytelling in capturing the human condition. DigiCat invites you to embrace Donnell's classic with the acknowledgment and passion it rightfully warrants.

    When The Great Gatsby was published, commercially it was a failure but critically it was a success. It is still the most admired and well read of all Scott Fitzgerald’s novels and it is considered a handbook of the 'Jazz Age'.  Scott Fitzgerald put much of himself and his life into the book. He created the character of Jay Gatsby to illustrate his own experiences of the illusory and morally bankrupt aspects of 1920s' America, and the character of Nick Carraway to show his disapproval of its destructive effects.

    First published in 1922 as part of Fitzgerald's Tales of the Jazz Age, this short story calls upon the author's innate sense to focus on the sense of disaster and is often regarded as one of his best short story works. Fitzgerald himself comments, "Of this story I can say that it came to me in an irresistible form, crying to be written. It will be accused perhaps of being a mere piece of sentimentality, but, as I saw it, it was a great deal more. If, therefore, it lacks the ring of sincerity, or even, of tragedy, the fault rests not with the theme but with my handling of it."

    "The Count of Monte Cristo" (French: "Le Comte de Monte-Cristo") is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered, along with "The Three Musketeers", as Dumas' most popular work. It is also among the highest selling books of all time. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.
     
    The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean and the Levant during the historical events of 1815-1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. It is primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, forgiveness and death, and is told in the style of an adventure story.
