Beschreibung

The "Complete Project Gutenberg Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Works" encompasses the rich array of writings by one of America's foremost literary figures of the 19th century. This comprehensive collection features Holmes' masterful blend of wit and wisdom, showcasing his contributions to poetry, essays, and fiction. Written in a style that reflects both eloquence and accessibility, Holmes articulates profound societal observations while employing an engaging narrative voice. His works engage with contemporary themes, such as identity, morality, and the complexities of human experience, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America during his time. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. was not only a writer but also a prominent physician and a key figure in the intellectual landscape of his era. His experiences as a medical student and professor at Harvard influenced his philosophical outlook, particularly on the nature of truth and human understanding. Holmes' public persona as a social commentator and humorist established his reputation, allowing his literary works to explore serious themes with both humor and intellect, reflecting his multifaceted identity. I highly recommend this collection to any reader intrigued by America's literary heritage. Holmes'Äô ability to blend intellectual inquiry with artistic expression offers profound insights into the human condition. Engaging with this anthology will not only enhance your appreciation of Holmes' craft but will also provide a deeper understanding of the societal dynamics of his time.

    Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
     
     
     
    The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.

    It was his responsibility to fight for those who could not fight, punish those who needed punishing, and righting the world of all the wrongs—to Captain Vicarelli, that was his mission even out of the Corps. Once separated from the Marines, he took his mission to his home, New Orleans, rife with murder, rape, and crime. The Corps had trained him and trained him well. He was a skillful killing machine of unusual propensity. 
    There was nothing average about the man; he stood six-five and was a wall of powerful, rippling muscle. Honorably discharged, with unwritten speculation of PTSD from the psych community, the Marine pursued the life of a civilian. It wasn’t his fault that there was crime around every corner, but he took his mission to heart, protecting, punishing, and eliminating the threats. 
    Trinity was his one weakness. His entire essence craved her tight little body full of sexy energy. Her caramel-colored skin, waist-length black hair, and cat-like ebony eyes lit an unquenchable fire in his body and soul. If fate were a friend, she would be his woman one day. Night after night, he sat at the end of Louie’s Tap mahogany bar, sipping on his two-finger pour of Glenlivet and watching as she swayed to the background music while mixing libations for the clientele.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The Victorian era ceases but England strides on. Confident, bestriding the globe as policeman and enforcer of her Imperial ways.  In literature her authors create majestic works that beguile an ever growing audience that now covers the world.
