Sinopse

In "The Moral Pirates," W. L. Alden intertwines adventure and moral philosophy within the framework of late 19th-century American literature. Set against a backdrop of the high seas, the narrative explores themes of ethics, loyalty, and personal integrity through the lens of piracy, juxtaposing the romanticized notion of freedom with the harsh realities of moral ambiguity. Alden'Äôs prose is both engaging and reflective, characterized by vivid imagery and sharp dialogue, which effectively captures the essence of the maritime adventure genre while challenging readers to consider the deeper implications of their choices. W. L. Alden, an influential figure in American literature and a prominent critic, drew upon his extensive background in journalistic writing and literary critique to craft this work. His experiences and observations from a world marked by a rapidly changing society enabled him to explore the complexities of human nature and morality. Alden was known for his keen insights into character and social dynamics, which inform the multifaceted characters in "The Moral Pirates" that ultimately serve as vessels for philosophical inquiry. This compelling novel is highly recommended for readers intrigued by the intersections of morality and adventure. Alden'Äôs ability to blend thrilling escapades with profound ethical dilemmas makes this book not only an engaging read but also a thoughtful commentary on the human condition. Ideal for book clubs and academic discussions, "The Moral Pirates" invites readers to reflect on their own values while immersing themselves in a richly constructed world.

    The Top 10 – The European 19th Century – an Introduction 
 
A century of change.  Some catastrophic, some fantastical.  Europe reaches out its national tentacles in a global grab for Empire.  At home, revolutions erupt and decay.  Literature gains a widespread audience through advancing technology.  Here, in this volume, authors absorb and then reveal their wondrous stories. 
 
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.

    Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer and philosopher who is widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time. His most famous works include War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both of which are considered masterpieces of literature. Tolstoy's writing was known for its realism, attention to detail, and profound psychological insights into human behavior. In addition to his literary accomplishments, Tolstoy was also a prominent social and political thinker. He was deeply influenced by his Christian faith and believed in the importance of nonviolence and pacifism. He also advocated for social and economic equality, rejecting the inequalities of the aristocratic society he was born into. Later in life, Tolstoy became increasingly interested in spiritual matters, rejecting organized religion and instead seeking a more personal, direct connection with God. His writings on spirituality and morality continue to inspire readers and thinkers to this day.

    Man Who Could Work Miracles The...

    "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" is a British fantasy-comedy short story by H. G. Wells first published in 1898 in The Illustrated London News. It carried the subtitle "A Pantoum in Prose."
The story is an early example of Contemporary fantasy (not yet recognized, at the time, as a specific sub-genre). In common with later works falling within this definition, the story places a major fantasy premise (a wizard with enormous, virtually unlimited magic power) not in an exotic semi-Medieval setting but in the drab routine daily life of suburban London, very familiar to Wells himself.
