Sense and Sensibility tells the story of the impoverished Dashwood family, focusing on the sisters Elinor and Marianne, personifications of good sense (common sense) and sensibility (emotionality), respectively.
An accessible yet well researched and detailed account by Glenn D. Bradley of the operation of the line known as the Pony Express, that lasted for about 16 months before being replaced by the telegraph. A mail route became an imperative in order to connect the eastern U.S. with the growing west coast following the gold rush of California, the lumber camps, and the various needs because of the settling of the western frontier. This work is meticulous yet manages to convey the entrepreneurial and dangerous atmosphere of the time (the hard work being done, repelling of Indian attacks and overall tough working conditions).Voir livre
Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is based on his ingenious and profound poems, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in poetry. Poe was also the principal forerunner of the “art for art’s sake” movement in 19th-century literature. He demonstrated a brilliant command of language and technique as well as an inspired and original imagination. Poe’s poetry greatly influenced the French Symbolists of the late 19th century, who in turn altered the direction of modern literature.
