Sinopsis

The Shadow by Edith Nesbit is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: This is not an artistically rounded off ghost story, and nothing is explained in it, and there seems to be no reason why any of it should have happened. But that is no reason why it should not be told. You must have noticed that all the real ghost stories you have ever come close to, are like this i This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.

    The classic sci-fi adventure, brought to life in a whole new way. 
     
    John Carter is a Civil War veteran with nothing left to lose. He heads out West looking for gold and ends up somewhere considerably further from Virginia than he bargained for - transported to the surface of Mars, where the gravity makes him stronger than any creature alive and the landscape is unlike anything on Earth. 
     
    What he finds there is a dying world full of warring civilizations, terrifying creatures, and a princess worth fighting for. What follows is one of the greatest adventure stories ever written - sword fights, massive battles, political intrigue, monsters, and a love story at the center of it all that actually earns its ending. 
     
    Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote A Princess of Mars in 1912 and it has never gone out of print. It launched an entire genre and influenced generations of science fiction writers who came after it. And honestly? It's just an incredibly fun ride from the first page to the last.

    Ivan Minchov Vazov was born on the 9th July 1850 (although that date is disputed) in the town of Sopot, in Bulgaria, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire.  
     
    After primary education at the local school he was sent to Kalofer to continue his studies and work as an assistant teacher.  He later spent a short time in Plodiv where he began to write poetry. 
     
    Fascinated by literature he abandoned work as an apprentice to move to Brăila, in Romania, where he lived with exiled revolutionaries and befriended the poet Hristo Botev. 
     
    By 1874, he had joined the struggle for independence from the Ottomans and returned to Sopot. After the failure of the 1876 uprising he had to flee the country, going back to Galaţi, in Romania, where most of the surviving revolutionaries were exiled. There he was appointed a secretary of the committee. 
     
    In 1876 he published his first work, ‘Priaporetz and Gusla’, followed by ‘Bulgaria's Sorrows’ in 1877. 
     
    Bulgaria regained its independence in 1878 as a result of the Russo-Turkish War and Vazov wrote the famous ‘Epic of the Forgotten’.  He now became the editor of the political reviews Science and Dawn.  
     
    Exile was forced upon him once again due to the persecution of the Russophile political faction. Later he returned to Bulgaria with his mother’s help, and started teaching and then became a civil servant. 
     
    He moved to Sofia in 1889 where he started publishing the review Dennitsa. 
     
    His 1888 novel ‘Under the Yoke’, depicting Ottoman oppression, is his most famous work and has been translated into over 30 languages. 
     
    During his life he became a prominent and widely respected figure in the social and cultural life of Bulgaria.  
     
    In 1917, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature. 
     
    Ivan Vazov died on September 22nd, 1921.  He was 71.
