In "Amos Judd," John Ames Mitchell presents a satirical exploration of American society through the life of its titular character, Amos Judd. This novel unfolds with a blend of biting humor and keen social observation characteristic of the late 19th century. Mitchell employs a rich narrative style, interweaving vivid character sketches with sharp dialogue, positioning the work within the literary context that critiques the burgeoning complexities of American capitalism and its moral implications. The text serves as both a reflection of contemporary societal ideals and an examination of personal ambition, making it a significant contribution to American literature of its time. John Ames Mitchell, an influential journalist and author, brought to the page his own experiences with the rapid changes of American society during the Gilded Age. His background in journalism equipped him with a critical lens through which he scrutinized the social and political landscapes of his era.

"Amos Judd" is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts alike, as it is an incisive reflection on ambition and morality in American history. Readers will find Mitchell's ability to blend humor with critique both engaging and thought-provoking, ultimately prompting them to consider the perennial questions of identity and purpose in a rapidly transforming society.

    Tales of the Santal people of Bengal set down by a missionary who spoke their language: the jackal and the crocodile, the boy who married a bonga, the origin of the tribes. A. Campbell collected them in the 1890s and printed them with the tellers' asides intact. They are among the earliest Indian tribal folklore recorded from the speakers rather than from Sanskrit sources. Fifty-nine plates, from Rubens to Gustave Moreau, gather the myths and allegories that shaped Europe's own storytelling tradition, a fitting counterpart to tales carried straight from Santal voices.

    Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
    Marcella's Reward: Dr. Clark shook his head gravely. "She is not improving as fast as I should like to see," he said. "In facter she seems to have gone backward the past week. You must send her to the country, Miss Langley. The heat here is too trying for her."

    An Irish physician who has given up soldiering is arrested for dressing a rebel's wounds, sold as a slave in Barbados, and becomes the most dangerous captain in the Caribbean — chiefly because he keeps his word. Sabatini spoke five languages and chose English because, he said, all the best stories are told in it; this one gave Errol Flynn a career and the pirate novel its manners. Fifty-eight plates of harbours, wrecks and stormy coasts by painters including Salvator Rosa and Bonaventura Peeters the Younger give the sea story its weather.

    A Martian Odyssey and Other...

    An astronaut stranded on Mars walks eight hundred miles back to base with Tweel, a Martian whose language and logic he never manages to follow. Weinbaum published it in 1934 and science fiction changed overnight: aliens stopped being monsters and became beings with reasons of their own. Valley of Dreams follows the same expedition, and with them come Pygmalion's Spectacles, whose goggles put a man inside a story he can smell and touch, and three tales of the insufferable Professor van Manderpootz. Weinbaum died eighteen months after his first sale, at thirty-three. Fifty-nine plates of painting, from Munch to Mucha, carry the strange dreamscapes and distant worlds of these stories.
