  Parnassus On Wheels

  Parnassus on Wheels is Christopher Morley's first novel, and the first of two written from a woman's perspective, the second being The Haunted Bookshop , this book's sequel. Parnassus on Wheels was inspired by a novel by David Grayson (pseudonym of Ray Stannard Baker) called The Friendly Road , and is prefaced by a letter to Grayson from Morley. The word "Parnassus" from the title refers to "Mount Parnassus," the home of the Muses in Greek mythology. The protagonist is 39-year-old Helen McGill, who lives on a farm owned by her brother Andrew. The book's Parnassus is a large, horse-drawn van owned by Roger Mifflin, out of which he buys and sells books while traveling around the New England countryside. Mifflin arrives at the McGill farm, looking to sell the business to someone interested in the noble cause of spreading literature to the common man. Helen is at first turned off by Mr. Mifflin, but decides on a whim that an escape from her dreadful farm—and her insufferable brother Andrew—is just what she needs. She buys the Parnassus, and embarks on exactly the type of adventure she had hoped for. Christopher Morley (died 1957) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Parnassus On Wheels exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.

  A starving escaped convict returns to Paris and wakes among mountains of cabbages: Les Halles at dawn, the belly of the city, where the fat shopkeepers who have everything decide that the thin ones are dangerous. Zola planned twenty volumes to trace one family through the Second Empire; this is the third, and no one has ever written food — cheese, blood, fish, butter — like this. Fifty-six plates by Manet, Caillebotte, Renoir and their circle follow the market's food and the waters that supplied it, from Paris balconies to the mussel-fishers of the Norman coast.

  Fibble DD - Being Divers...

  Irvin S. Cobb

  The Reverend Roscoe T. Fibble, D.D., a small, earnest and thoroughly self-satisfied young curate, tells his own misadventures in three instalments: a card to the public explaining what really happened when he founded an organization called the Young Nuts of America, an open letter about his adventures in France during the war, and extracts from his diary that end at Lover's Leap. Irvin S. Cobb was one of the highest-paid humorists in America and knew exactly how a self-satisfied man sounds on paper; Fibble gives himself away in every paragraph. Fifty-one plates by Whistler, Bierstadt and their contemporaries follow the curate from London church spires to the cathedral rocks of Yosemite.
