The novel reflects the era's fascination with exploration and adventure, echoing the larger themes of bravery and resilience popularized in contemporary literature of the time. Percy F. Westerman was a noted British author renowned for his tales of adventure tailored towards a young male audience, often inspired by his own experiences at sea and service in the First World War. This background greatly influenced his narrative choices in Sinclair's Luck, as he laid down frameworks where characters undergo significant development through their encounters with peril and moral dilemmas. Westerman's ability to weave tales that instill bravery and determination draws from both his formative years and his lived experiences that resonate with many of his readers. Readers seeking an engaging and uplifting adventure will find Sinclair's Luck to be an essential addition to their literary collection. Westerman's deft combination of excitement and moral lessons not only entertains but also inspires young readers to cultivate their own virtues in the face of life's unpredictability. This novel is an enduring classic that deserves rediscovery, offering both entertainment and life lessons for readers of all ages.

    Dracula, a Gothic novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897, is derived from old vampire legends and is the basis for an entire genre of literature and film. Dracula, the archetypal vampire, is depicted in the novel as having been the origin of the many werewolf legends. The willowy count is believed to have been inspired by the 15th-century Vlad the Impaler, and by Sir Henry Irving, an actor for whom Stoker was a personal assistant. One of Dracula's most iconic powers is his ability to turn others into vampires by biting them and thus infecting them with the vampiric disease. Stoker's novel takes the form of an epistolary tale, in which Count Dracula's characteristics, powers are narrated by multiple narrators. Count Dracula is an undead, centuries-old vampire, and Transylvanian nobleman descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. Dracula is devilishly handsome and charismatic, with a veneer of dark aristocratic charm. Likewise, he possesses supernatural abilities gained through his intimate dealings with the Devil. Dracula does not cast a shadow or reflect in mirrors. He can defy gravity and possesses superhuman agility, able to climb vertical surfaces upside down. In the novel he also has great hypnotic, telepathic and illusionary powers. This is the rare, long lost original 1897 manuscript - published here for the first time.

    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 2: EUTERPE: On the death of Cyrus, Cambyses, his son by Cassandane, daughter of Pharnaspes, took the kingdom. Cassandane had died in the lifetime of Cyrus, who had made a great mourning for her at her death, and had commanded all the subjects of his empire to observe the like.
