  The Sword of Wealth

  "A week before the day set for her wedding, in a bright hour of early April, Hera rode forth from the park of Villa Barbiondi. Following the margin of the river, she trotted her horse to where the shores lay coupled by a bridge of pontoons—an ancient device of small boats and planking little different from the sort Cæsar’s soldiers threw across the same stream. She drew up and watched the strife going on between the bridge and the current—the boats straining at their anchor-chains and the water rioting between them. 
  Italy has no lovelier valley than the one where flowed the river on which she looked, and in the gentler season there is no water-course more expressive of serene human character. But the river was tipsy to-day. The springtime sun, in its passages of splendour from Alp to Alp, had set free the winter snows, and Old Adda, flushed by his many cups, frolicked ruthlessly to the sea. 
  Peasant folk in that part of the Brianza had smiled a few days earlier to see the great stream change its sombre green for an earthy hue, because it was a promise of the vernal awakening. Yet their joy was shadowed, as it always is in freshet days, by dread of the havoc so often attending the spree of the waters." 
  The sword of wealth by Henry Wilton Thomas.

  "Demons" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a gripping political and psychological novel that delves into the chaos of revolutionary ideas and moral decay in 19th-century Russia. The story follows a small provincial town infiltrated by radical ideologies, where a group of nihilists and anarchists sow discord and destruction. Through characters like Stavrogin, a troubled aristocrat, and Pyotr Verkhovensky, a manipulative revolutionary, Dostoyevsky explores themes of faith, freedom, and the dangers of unchecked ideology. As personal and societal tensions escalate, the novel examines the fragility of human morality and the consequences of rejecting traditional values. A masterful blend of suspense and philosophical depth, "Demons" critiques the destructive potential of radicalism while probing the complexities of the human soul.
