Baree is born in a hollow log, half wolf and half dog, and grows up between the two — a trapper's daughter on one side, the pack on the other, and a wilderness that does not care which he chooses. Curwood was expelled from school, sold his first story at sixteen, and was paid by the Canadian government to travel the far north; he later gave up hunting entirely and campaigned for the animals he had shot. Fifty-two plates of forest and lake paintings by Edvard Munch and Joseph Henry Sharp run through the text, matching the northern wild that shapes Baree's story.Ver libro

Middlemarch (Book 7: Two Temptations), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels.Ver libro
It should not be doubted that at least one-third of the affection with which we regard the elder poets of Great Britain should be-attributed to what is, in itself, a thing apart from poetry-we mean to the simple love of the antique-and that, again, a third of even the proper poetic sentiment inspiredby their writings should be ascribed to a fact which, while it has strict connection with poetry in the abstract, and with the old British poems themselves, should not be looked upon as a merit appertaining to the authors of the poems.Ver libro
Home to Harlem , the first published novel by the Jamaican-American writer Claude McKay , follows the life of Jake, an African-American longshoreman who enlists with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I before deserting and returning to Harlem. Upon his return, Jake indulges in all of the sensual pleasures Harlem has to offer, including a series of sexual entanglements. Owing to its sexually explicit depiction of Harlem nightlife, Home to Harlem received a polarized reception from other African-American authors. Langston Hughes celebrated it as a book "which ought to give a second youth to the Negro Vogue," whereas W. E. B. Du Bois declared that "after the dirtier parts of its filth I feel distinctly like taking a bath." It remains a classic novel of the Harlem Renaissance. Claude McKay (died 1948) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Home To Harlem exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.Ver libro
