  He succumbed. He begins his story for her with the minute narration of this adventure which took about twelve months to develop. In the form in which it is presented here it has been pruned of all allusions to their common past, of all asides, disquisitions, and explanations addressed directly to the friend of his childhood. And even as it is the whole thing is of considerable length. It seems that he had not only a memory but that he also knew how to remember. But as to that opinions may differ...FROM THE BOOKS.

  Negotium Perambulans by E. F. Benson is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: The casual tourist in West Cornwall may just possibly have noticed, as he bowled along over the bare high plateau between Penzance and the Land's End, a dilapidated signpost pointing down a steep lane and bearing on its battered finger the faded inscription "Polearn 2 miles," but probably very few h This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.

  Five escaped prisoners. One raging hurricane. An uncharted wilderness where survival demands absolute genius. 
  When a daring balloon escape from a besieged Civil War stronghold goes terribly wrong, an engineer, a reporter, a sailor, a young boy, and a devoted servant are swept away by a monumental tempest. Thrown onto the desolate, rocky shores of an unknown land in the vast Pacific Ocean, they are stripped of every tool, weapon, and modern convenience. 
  Separated from their brilliant leader, Captain Cyrus Harding, the surviving castaways must brave the harsh elements, scavenge for sustenance, and build shelter from the very stones of the earth. But as the mysteries of this barren coast deepen, they must ask themselves: Is this a mere island, or the edge of an unexplored continent? And more importantly, can they conquer the untamed wilderness before it conquers them? 
  The Mysterious Island is a breathtaking tale of survival, brotherhood, and human ingenuity that will leave listeners on the edge of their seats.

  'Babbitt respected bigness in anything: in mountains, jewels, muscles, wealth or words.'
  
  First published in 1922, Babbitt is a scathing satirical novel that wittily condemns the vacuous and superficial lives of the middle class in early twentieth-century America.
  
  George F. Babbitt, a successful real estate agent in the fictional city of Zenith in the Midwest, is openly conservative: he embraces proper social etiquette, business success and traditional values. But secretly, a disillusion with the American Dream begins to take root. As he begins to question the emptiness of his life, Babbitt goes to extreme lengths to uncover a novel sense of personal freedom. But when the pressures of societal expectation and fear of nonconformity threaten to destroy the life he once loved, Babbitt is forced to reconsider his actions. A masterclass in satire and literary realism, Babbitt remains an American classic for the ages.
  Sinclair Lewis (1885 – 1951) was an American novelist, short story writer and dramatist. In 1930, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. His work often critiqued capitalism and the materialist nature of inter-war America, and is still widely read to this day.
