  Iceland in the saga age: Eric Brighteyes, the strongest man in the south, loves Gudruda the Fair, whose father will not have him; Swanhild, her half-sister and a witch, will have him or no one. Haggard wrote this in 1891 after reading the Icelandic sagas in translation and tried to write as they do — flat, fated, unamazed. It is the least Victorian book he produced and the one Icelanders themselves respected.

  Jamaica and Ireland at the turn of the eighteenth century: a man convicted of a killing he did not do, transported, and a woman who will not accept the verdict. Parker was Canadian-born, settled in England, sat in Parliament for eighteen years and was knighted; he wrote the colonial world as an administrator's son rather than a tourist, and the court-martial here is procedurally exact.

  We rely on your support to help us keep producing beautiful, free, and unrestricted editions of literature for the digital age. Will you support our efforts with a donation ? It is the Middle Ages, and the Hundred Years War rages on in England and France. Alleyne Edricson, the son of an English landowner, is training as a novice at an abbey. As his training draws to a close, he's called upon to spend a year in the outside world to decide if he really wants to devote his life to prayer and contemplation. He quickly meets Hordle John, a fellow novice expelled for misbehavior, and Aylward, a French archer traveling to meet the famous knight Sir Nigel Loring and join his band of archers, the titular White Company. The three decide to travel together, and embark on a series of action-packed adventures across England, France, and Spain. Doyle was inspired to write about the time period after attending a lecture on the subject. He spent years researching the era, and his careful research is evident in the novel's detail: period-correct words and names add a flavor of verisimilitude, and nearly all of the people and places in the tale really did exist—and are moreover depicted to a great degree of historical accuracy. Arthur Conan Doyle was a significant literary figure whose work has stood the test of time. This public domain edition preserves the original text in its entirety, making it accessible to modern readers and scholars alike. As a work of classic literary fiction, The White Company 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 Fight with a Cannon - From...

  Victor Hugo

  Victor Marie Hugo was born on 26th February 1802 in Besançon, France.   
  There can be no doubt that Hugo is ranked as the greatest of French authors and poets. In addition to this he fought against social injustice throughout his life and from his frequent elections to the French Assembly. 
  Hugo published his first novel, Han d’Islande (1823), the year after his marriage and so began an immense canon of fiction and poetry not only for France but to World literature.  
  He was elected to the Académie Française in 1841 and the same year came a peerage and entrance to the Higher Chamber as a pair de France, where he spoke against the death penalty, social injustice and in favour of press freedom.  
  In the years leading up to the Revolution of 1848 Hugo began to lean towards Republicanism and greater freedoms.  With the formation of the Second Republic, he was again elected to the Assembly. 
  When Napoleon III seized power in 1851, and established an anti-parliamentary constitution, Hugo openly declared him a traitor to France. This, of course, meant exile where he remained until 1870.  In exile he published his greatest work ‘Les Misérables’, and further widely honoured collections of poetry. 
  Returning home he was again elected to the National Assembly and the Senate.  It was the time of the Franco-Prussian war and with Paris under siege and food ever more scarce, he wrote in his diary that he was now "eating the unknown". 
  Later he was instrumental in strengthening the rights of artists and copyright, steps which led to the international protections of the Berne Convention.  
  Victor Hugo died on 22nd May 1885, aged 83.
