So Big is a 1924 novel written by Edna Ferber. The book was inspired by the life of Antje Paarlberg in the Dutch community of South Holland, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. It was a best-seller in the United States and won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1925.
Ulysses Paxton, mortally wounded on the battlefields of WWI France, is transported to the planet of his dreams, Barsoom (Mars). There he becomes the assistant of the Master Mind of Mars, Ras Thavas, a medical genius. Burroughs anticipated such modern marvels as organ and limb transplants, exploding bullets, anti-grav fliers, and some we haven’t yet invented! When Ras Thavas switches the brains of an evil and wizened Jeddara (queen) into the body of a gorgeous young woman, our hero vows to right the wrong. Swords and sci-fi action abound in this sixth of ERB’s Mars series.Ver libro
Mr. Sabin, once the most dangerous intriguer in Europe, is living quietly in America with his wife Lucille when a summons reaches her at the Waldorf-Astoria from the secret society she once pledged herself to — and Sabin must fight it across two continents to keep her. Oppenheim kept his father's leather books for twenty years and wrote at night, then produced some hundred and fifteen novels of embassies, sleeping cars and men who are never quite what their passports say — the man who invented the modern thriller's furniture. Fifty-nine plates of harbour fog and lamplit waterfront by Whistler and Grimshaw run through the book like the mist and night in which Sabin's pursuit is conducted.Ver libro

A knock at the door, a puzzling clue, a mind already racing ahead—step into the world of Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Nothing escapes Holmes—not the smallest detail, not the faintest inconsistency. Alongside the loyal Dr. Watson, these stories move from mystery to revelation with a steady, compelling rhythm. As an audiobook, the experience becomes immediate and absorbing, drawing the listener into each investigation as it builds toward that unmistakable moment when everything suddenly falls into place.Ver libro
A Greek fruit-seller in Chicago, an heiress's child who goes missing, and a man everyone in the city has walked past a thousand times without seeing. Lee taught English at Smith College; her Uncle William was loved by a generation, and this 1912 novel does the same trick — the person nobody notices turns out to be the only one who is really paying attention. Fifty-seven plates by painters such as John Sloan and George Luks catch the same unnoticed city — barrooms, street markets, tenement corners — that Lee's fruit-seller walks through.Ver libro
