  History of Herodotus The - Book...

  Herodotus, George Rawlinson

  One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
  BOOK 9: CALLIOPE: Mardonius, when Alexander upon his return made known to him the answer of the Athenians, forthwith broke up from Thessaly, and led his army with all speed against Athens; forcing the several nations through whose land he passed to furnish him with additional troops.

  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.

  A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
  BOOK 17: When a comic writer hath made his principal characters as happy as he can, or when a tragic writer hath brought them to the highest pitch of human misery, they both conclude their business to be done, and that their work is come to a period.
