Synopsis

In 'Lefty o' the Bush,' Burt L. Standish weaves a captivating tale set against the rugged backdrop of the American wilderness, where themes of camaraderie, resilience, and the struggle against nature emerge. This novel, marked by its vivid descriptive language and dynamic characterizations, transports readers into the heart of the wilderness. Standish employs a rich, colloquial style that reflects the vernacular of his characters, illustrating their connections to the land and each other. As a work of early 20th-century American literature, it captures an era steeped in adventure and individualism, resonating with the tradition of pulp fiction that characterized much of Standish's oeuvre. Burt L. Standish, a pseudonym for the prolific author William Wallace Cook, was known for his penchant for adventure stories that appealed to the youth of his time. His experience as a journalist and his fascination with the outdoor life deeply influenced his writing; 'Lefty o' the Bush' reflects his understanding of the American spirit and the wilderness as both a backdrop and a character in its own right. Standish's works frequently explore themes of heroism, mentorship, and the importance of nature, positioning him as a voice of adventure literature in his time. Readers are encouraged to delve into 'Lefty o' the Bush' for its thrilling narrative and rich characterization, which provide an immersive experience that speaks to both adventure seekers and literary enthusiasts alike. The book will not only entertain but also provoke thought about humanity's relationship with the natural world. It is a quintessential read for anyone interested in the fusion of adventure, camaraderie, and the untamed landscape that defines the American experience.

    The House of the Dead - Or...

    The semiautobiographical prison account of convict Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov, from the author of Crime and Punishment.   Originally published in 1862, The House of the Dead is based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s own four-year imprisonment in Siberia for his involvement in the Petrashevsky Circle. This masterpiece of Russian literature begins with a nameless narrator coming upon former convict Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov in a remote Siberian town. Previously a nobleman and landowner, Goryanchikov had been given a ten-year sentence of hard labor for the murder of his wife, a crime of passion sparked by jealousy. After Goryanchikov’s death, the narrator finds a handwritten record of his decade of penal servitude. From his first days in the barracks, friendless and broken in spirit, to the removal of his shackles and freedom, Goryanchikov portrays the experiences of a “lost tribe of men,” and the horrors and degradation they experienced.  “Episodic, rambling, full of keen and deliberately stretched-out character sketches, the book is the drama of a person working out how to reproduce prison life in prose: its longueurs, its diversions, its pleasures, traumas, and inurements  . . . If Dostoyevsky’s captors had found the ribald, cacophonous commonplace book he assembled out of overheard insults and tossed-off sayings during his time in prison, they would have recognized that they were dealing with a spirit not easily suppressed.” —The Paris Review  “I know no better book in all modern literature.” —Leo Tolstoy

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (also known as Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics don at the University of Oxford. It details the story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre.  
    Plot: 
    Alice, a young girl, sits bored by a riverbank and spots a White Rabbit with a pocket watch and waistcoat lamenting that he is late. Surprised, Alice follows him down a rabbit hole, which sends her into a lengthy plummet but to a safe landing. Inside a room with a table, she finds a key to a tiny door, beyond which is a garden. While pondering how to fit through the door, she discovers a bottle labelled "Drink me". Alice drinks some of the bottle's contents, and to her astonishment, she shrinks small enough to enter the door. However, she had left the key upon the table and cannot reach it. Alice then discovers and eats a cake labelled "Eat me", which causes her to grow to a tremendous size. Unhappy, Alice bursts into tears, and the passing White Rabbit flees in a panic, dropping a fan and two gloves. Alice uses the fan for herself, which causes her to shrink once more and leaves her swimming in a pool of her own tears. Within the pool, Alice meets various animals and birds, who convene on a bank and engage in a "Caucus Race" to dry themselves. Following the end of the race, Alice inadvertently frightens the animals away by discussing her cat...
