The Bobbsey Twins

Laura Lee Hope

Sinopse

"Double the twins, double the fun, and a century of mysteries to be solved!"

Meet the Bobbseys: Nan and Bert, the responsible twelve-year-olds, and Flossie and Freddie, the mischievous six-year-olds. Living in the bustling town of Lakeport and spending summers at the idyllic Mansion on the Lake, this remarkable family finds adventure in the everyday. From solving neighborhood puzzles to embarking on grand travels across the country, the Bobbsey twins exemplify curiosity, bravery, and the unbreakable bond of siblings. Whether they are hunting for a lost toy or helping their father at the lumber yard, there is never a dull moment in the Bobbsey household.

A Legacy of "Series Fiction": The Bobbsey Twins was the "mother" of all series books, predating both Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. It established the successful formula of "wholesome children + a light mystery + a change of scenery." This structure allowed the series to span over 100 volumes, evolving with the times while keeping the heart of the family intact.

Wholesome Values for Every Era: The stories emphasize traditional values like honesty, hard work, and kindness. While the twins often find themselves in "scrapes," they always rely on their wits and each other to make things right. For modern parents, these books offer a "safe" reading harbor, filled with the simple joys of picnics, snow days, and family outings.

The Perfect Introduction to Mystery: For younger readers, the Bobbsey Twins serve as the perfect "bridge" into the world of detective fiction. The mysteries are engaging but never truly frightening, encouraging children to use their deductive reasoning alongside Nan and Bert.

Les Misérables: Volume 5: Jean...

Victor Hugo

Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
BOOK 3: MUD BUT THE SOUL: The transition was an unheard-of one. In the very heart of the city, Jean Valjean had escaped from the city, and, in the twinkling of an eye, in the time required to lift the cover and to replace it, he had passed from broad daylight to complete obscurity, from midday to midnight, from tumult to silence, from the whirlwind of thunders to the stagnation of the tomb, and, by a vicissitude far more tremendous even than that of the Rue Polonceau, from the most extreme peril to the most absolute obscurity.

Walking and Other Excursions

Henry David Thoreau

IN THE SPIRIT OF UNDYING ADVENTURE!    Sauntering through natural landscapes is a noble art; and one that Henry David Thoreau held in the highest regard.     Though he is perhaps best known for Walden: Life in the Woods and his essay “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau was an early advocate of recreational hiking, canoeing, and conserving natural resources. A passionate nature writer, he penned many articles that shared these philosophies and perspectives.    This carefully restored re-creation of the 1863 essay collection Excursions features the nine original essays that were published posthumously:    “Natural History of Massachusetts”    “A Walk to Wachusett”    “The Landlord”    “A Winter Walk”    “The Succession of Forest Trees”    “Walking”    “Autumnal Tints”    “Wild Apples”    “Night and Moonlight”    This revised special edition also includes the original detailed biographical sketch of Thoreau by fellow transcendentalist and friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Featuring a brand-new foreword by J.F. Penn, best-selling author of PILGRIMAGE: Lessons Learned from Walking Three Ancient Ways, and a fresh introduction from editor Mark Leslie.    ______    "In these ever more fast-moving times, as the constant noise of media in every form buffets us, and bad news from across the world shakes our sense of well-being daily, we can find truth in Thoreau’s words that 'in society you will not find health, but in nature.'" - J.F. Penn

The Brothers Karamazov

Anônimo

The Brothers Karamazov, also translated as The Karamazov Brothers, is the last novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger from January 1879 to November 1880. Dostoevsky died less than four months after its publication. It has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature.

Set in 19th-century Russia, The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel that discusses questions of God, free will, and morality. It has also been described as a theological drama dealing with problems of faith, doubt, and reason in the context of a modernizing Russia, with a plot that revolves around the subject of patricide. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting.
