  Object Lessons (Unabridged)

  Booker T. Washington

  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  OBJECT LESSONS: Not long ago an old coloured man living in this State said to me: "I's done quit libin' in de ashes. I's got my second freedom." That remark meant, in this case, that that old man by economy, hard work and proper guidance, after twenty years of struggle, had freed himself from debt, had paid for fifty acres of land, had built a comfortable house, and was a tax-payer.

  Adam Bede

  A bestseller from the moment of publication, Adam Bede, although on one level a rich and loving re-creation of a small community shaken to its core, is more than a charming, faultlessly evoked pastoral. However much the reader may sympathize with Hetty Sorrel and identify with Arthur Donnithorne, her seducer, and with Adam Bede, the man Hetty betrays,it is George Eliots's creation of the distant aesthetic whole - the complex, multifarious life of Hayslope - which so grips the reader's imagination. As Stephen Gill comments: 'Reading the novel is a process of learning simultaneously about the world of Adam Bede and the world of Adam Bede.'

  "I gazed up into the darkness and saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity."
  
  James Joyce's Dubliners offers an unflinching look at the lives of ordinary citizens in a city caught between a glorious past and an uncertain future. From the innocent longings of a young boy in "Araby" to the devastating domestic realizations in "The Dead," these stories capture moments of profound personal "epiphany"—sudden flashes of spiritual or psychological clarity. Joyce meticulously maps the streets, pubs, and parlors of Dublin, revealing the quiet tragedies and hidden desires of its inhabitants as they struggle against the "paralysis" of religion, poverty, and tradition.
  
  The Four Stages of Life: Joyce structured the collection to mirror the progression of a human life, moving from the innocence of childhood to the complexities of public life.
  
  Childhood: Stories like "The Sisters" and "An Encounter" explore the first brushes with death and mystery.
  
  Adolescence: "Araby" and "Eveline" capture the painful transition into adulthood and the weight of family duty.
  
  Maturity: "A Little Cloud" and "Counterparts" examine the frustrations of marriage and career.
  
  Public Life: "Ivy Day in the Committee Room" and "The Dead" look at politics, social status, and the ghosts of Irish history.
  
  The Masterpiece: "The Dead": The collection culminates in "The Dead," widely regarded as one of the finest short stories ever written. As Gabriel Conroy attends a holiday party, a simple song triggers a revelation about his wife's past and his own insignificance. The story's final, haunting image of snow falling "faintly through the universe" remains one of the most celebrated passages in literature.

  Christmas at Red Butte

  Christmas has a way of finding the lonely, the forgotten, and those who no longer dare to hope. In Christmas at Red Butte, Montgomery gifts us a tale wrapped in longing and tied with the ribbon of unexpected joy. The cold prairies seem empty, the holiday spirit a distant dream—until a single spark of kindness turns the season into something magical. This is a story of simple people whose hearts beat in quiet resilience, of family bonds stretched thin by fate yet mended by love, and of Christmas arriving not in grand gestures, but in the warmth of an open door. Montgomery, with her signature touch of gentle wonder, reminds us that even the bleakest December can hold a miracle.
