    The story of the true savior of Little Round Top at Gettysburg—a twenty-six-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer, who paid with his life to defend that hill. 
     
     
     
    Citizen-soldier Strong Vincent was many things: Harvard graduate, lawyer, political speaker, descendant of pilgrims and religious refugees, husband, father, brother. But his greatest contribution to history is as the savior of the Federal left on the second day at Gettysburg, when he and his men held Little Round Top against overwhelming Confederate numbers. Forgotten by history in favor of his subordinate, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Vincent has faded into relative obscurity in the decades since his death. 
     
     
     
    This book restores Vincent to his rightful place among the heroes of the battle of Gettysburg: presenting his life story using new, never-before-published sources and archival material to bring the story of one of the most forgotten officers of the American Civil War back to the attention of listeners and historians.

    Ernest Hemingway's first book - "Three Stories and Ten Poems" - announced the arrival of one of the 20th Century's most revered and admired writers.   In this brief collection, published in 1923, Hemingway introduces two styles of writing: his unique, famously austere and unadorned prose style as well as his early attempts at verse. The three stories are "Up in Michigan," "Out of Season" and "My Old Man," each of which takes place in locales that regular readers of Hemingway will find familiar: the great outdoors, the Italian countryside and the bull-ring. Hemingway also offers some early, experimental poetry to round off this fascinating and brilliant early work by one of the seminal authors of his generation.   "Thee Stories and Ten Poems" is offered here in its original and unabridged format.

    Around the World in 80 Days  is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872.
    A classic adventure story about the incredible journey of the gentleman Phileas Fogg and his servant-companion Passepartout. Phileas Fogg, who was a member of a respectable London club, had a bet with one of its members. The essence of the bet was to cross the globe in 80 days, that is, to start and end the journey in London at a certain time. Phileas Fogg made accurate calculations and was sure that traveling around the world in 80 days is a reality. However, fate intervened in his travels - Phileas Fogg is followed by Fix, who is mistakenly convinced that the crime that was committed in London on the eve of the departure of Mr. Fogg and Passepartout was the work of Phileas Fogg. But nothing will stop travelers if they are driven by honesty and sincere feelings. Thanks to this novel, you can not only witness an exciting journey, but also learn about the everyday life and specifics of people's lives at the end of the 19th century in different countries, as well as ways of moving people over long distances (some of them are no longer used by travelers).

    An ambitious young man struggles to define himself and his future while his Caribbean homeland plunges into a violent revolution, in a novel that recalls Ann Patchett’s Bel Canto and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Remains of the Day: Hopwood Award-winning writer Christopher Hebert’s The Boiling Season. A passionate, intimate exploration of one man’s loss of innocence and reclamation of identity, this compassionate and compellingly character-driven novel will speak to readers of Barabara Kingsolver and J. M. Coetzee, as Hebert’s illuminating and visceral portrayal of a popular insurrection against an all-powerful dictator—a backdrop that echoes events in Haiti—beautifully translates the struggles of our contemporary world into a work of soaring and unforgettable literary fiction.
