Leenie Brown

Beschreibung

Whether pushed forward by a rumble of thunder, revealed when the morning mist lifts, or etched like a frosty reminder of beauty in the cold heart of winter, love will find her home in the hearts of each of the couples in these three sweet Regency romance half-hour reads.
Thunder (A Pride and Prejudice Variation Novelette)
Fitzwilliam Darcy is out for a ride when a distant rumble of thunder forces him to seek shelter from the coming storm. What he finds when he steps inside his father's cottage is so much more than merely a refuge.
Morning Mist (A Sense and Sensibility Variation Novelette)
To Marianne Dashwood, there is nothing more refreshing in the entire world than a walk in the morning mist. She relishes these rambles where she can allow her imagination to run free. However, when she comes upon a handsome stranger, she discovers that her daydreams cannot compare to the real enchantment of love.
Frosted Windowpanes (A Touches of Austen Novelette)
In an attempt to distance himself from the pain of rejection, Patrick Mullins left Ashmore Hall four years ago. Now, just before Christmas, he has returned, brought home by the deaths of both his mother and brother. However, the painful memories that he finds upon his arrival threaten to drive him away once more until the determination of the lady he loves proves to him that just like the frost brings beauty to the coldness of winter, beauty can rise out of sorrow.
The three stories in Nature's Fury and Delights: Thunder, Mist, and Frost showcase Leenie Brown's ability to craft Austen-inspired and original tales that transport a reader to a different time and a different place where the characters come alive and the romance is always sweet. If you have half an hour to spend wrapped up in the first blushes or the warm renewal of love, grab your copy of Nature's Fury and Delights: Thunder, Mist, and Frost and settle in for a lovely treat.

Bartleby The Scrivener: A Story...

Herman Melville

"Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street" is a novella written by Herman Melville, first published in 1853. The story is a poignant exploration of the dehumanizing effects of modern capitalism and the isolation that can result from the mechanization of work. The novella is narrated by an unnamed Wall Street lawyer who hires a scrivener named Bartleby to copy legal documents. Initially, Bartleby is diligent and efficient, but over time, he starts responding to requests with the phrase "I would prefer not to." This passive resistance leads to a series of confrontations and ultimately to Bartleby's refusal to do any work at all. The lawyer is both fascinated and perplexed by Bartleby's behavior, and the story explores themes of alienation, conformity, and the dehumanizing nature of modern office life.

The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne

'Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart.' 
A tale of sin, punishment and atonement, The Scarlet Letter exposes the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England community when faced with the illegitimate child of a young mother. Regarded as the first real heroine of American fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of character that resonates with the reader when her harsh sentence is cast. It is in her refusal to reveal the identity of the father in the face of her accusers that Hawthorne champions his heroine and berates the weakness of Society for attacking the innocent. 
The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, the bestselling author, is a classic that delves into the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England community. This bestseller is a timeless exploration of societal norms and personal strength. 
For fans of George Eliot (Middlemarch), Henry James (The Turn of the Screw), Leo Tolstoy (The Kreutzer Sonata, and Other Stories 1889 annotated), Herman Melville (Bartleby, the Scrivener), and Charlotte Brontë (The Professor).
