Synopsis

The Time Traveller’s astonishing firsthand account of his journey 800,000 years beyond his own era—and the story that launched H. G. Wells’s successful career and earned him his reputation as the father of science fiction. With a speculative leap that still fires the imagination, Wells sends his brave explorer to face a future burdened with our greatest hopes... and our darkest fears. A pull of the Time Machine’s lever propels him to the age of a slowly dying Earth. There he discovers two bizarre races—the ethereal Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks—who not only symbolize the duality of human nature, but offer a terrifying portrait of the men of tomorrow as well. Published in 1895, this masterpiece of invention captivated readers on the threshold of a new century. Thanks to Wells’s expert storytelling and provocative insight, The Time Machine will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come.

How does one atone for the sins of the past? 
In Resurrection, Leo Tolstoy presents a harrowing yet deeply moving tale of moral reckoning and spiritual awakening. Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, a wealthy aristocrat, is confronted with the consequences of his youthful indiscretions when he discovers that Katerina Maslova—a woman he once seduced and abandoned—has been unjustly sentenced to Siberian exile. Driven by guilt and a newfound sense of justice, he dedicates himself to her cause, only to find himself entangled in a corrupt legal system and an indifferent society. 
As Dmitri struggles to right his wrongs, his journey exposes the hypocrisy of the elite, the cruelty of the prison system, and the immense power of personal transformation. Tolstoy masterfully weaves a narrative that is both a compelling human drama and a fierce indictment of social inequality.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

Here is a charming collection of stories, mostly set in New England in the 1800s, that depict how Christmas was celebrated then. 
 
Seems that Christmas was not always a tree with dozens, if not hundreds, of gifts spread around the tree. Consumerism not being then what it is today, the gift might simply be a letter from a long-missing loved one, or simply the return through a blizzard of a husband who had left only hours ago on a mission of mercy. The relief of the anxiety of waiting for the person or merely news that the loved one had survived was often the best gift to be had. 
 
There are sleigh rides, caroling through the night and selfless giving to fill one with the warmth and joy of the season. A true old-fashioned holiday treasure.
