Synopsis

What happens when love, freedom, and desire collide?

In The Little Lady of the Big House, Jack London explores a deeply emotional and controversial love triangle between industrialist rancher Dick Forrest, his intelligent and restless wife Paula, and her admirer Evan Graham. Set against the backdrop of California's vast landscapes and modern ideals, this novel delves into the complex psychology of love, fidelity, and independence.

One of London's most personal and experimental works, this is not a wilderness tale—it's a bold exploration of emotional depth, gender roles, and the cost of freedom. Readers are treated to sharp dialogue, rich introspection, and a tragic realism that shocked readers in its time.

"London's most daring and intimate novel." — Los Angeles Times
"A literary curveball—modern, passionate, and tragically human." — Literary Hub

Herodotus, George Rawlinson

One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
BOOK 9: CALLIOPE: Mardonius, when Alexander upon his return made known to him the answer of the Athenians, forthwith broke up from Thessaly, and led his army with all speed against Athens; forcing the several nations through whose land he passed to furnish him with additional troops.

Stanley Featherstonehough Ukridge is willing to do anything to get a buck – except, of course, work. Bombastic and big-eared, Ukridge has a bottomless well of corking ideas that never seem to work out, yet he’s always willing to volunteer others to tackle the inconvenient bits. Whether he’s commandeering a dog college, managing a tender-hearted pugilist, or brushing the perpetual chips off his aunt’s shoulder, Ukridge’s spotty success record never gets him down.  
Ukridge had a special place in Wodehouse’s heart, appearing in stories for 60 years, with the last published as late as 1966. Ukridge first appeared to American audiences in Love Among the Chickens (1906). While this collection is the second published (1924), the events take place before the dodgy poultry adventure.
