*** The Links of Northmour, by Robert Louis Stevenson. The Turf is there on top, rich, almost luxurious, but always beneath the turf is the sand. It is halted now, moving not - but ever ready to deal treachery out and let die with unwinking, uncaring eye. The Links they are called, and the pavilion that stands like a haunting flag is known quite simply as "The Pavilion On The Links." My blood still runs cold when I think of those links, The Links of Northmour. *** And, here is another one from France...
The Romance of Tristan & Iseult and Retold by J. Bédier Rendered into English by H. Belloc ***
***
Princess Zara, a romantic adventure from the days of the last Czar on earth. Two shall be born the whole wide world apart; And speak in different tongues, and have no thought
And these o'er unknown seas to unknown lands Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death, And all unconsciously shape every act And lend each wandering step to this one end,— That, one day, out of darkness, they shall meet And read life's meaning in each other's eyes. Susan Marr Spalding. *** In a similar vein we have.. You Must Love My Twin Spirit. It used to be there was a feeling, almost a belief, among the Native Americans of the Great Plains that each of them had a twin spirit, one that was almost them in outlook and ways. This theory can erase loneliness, but sometimes it is even more powerful. Because life was so uncertain among the Native Americans one that felt his or her life was waning could assign a lover to find that one's twin spirit and love them "as you have loved me." Antelope's story is almost like that, except that the one he loves doesn't tell him to go, find her twin spirit, until after her death. And when he finds the twin spirit of his loved one, she is chief among the tribe that hates his most.***
This must be a MAN'S kind of romance as I have thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover. There are over two hundred pages, as I have formatted it, and it is suitable for printing out, if you so desire. Cut from a bygone age when love was LOVE, golf is the background and indeed it is the driving force of this beautiful novel. I'm sure that if I understood the game I would love this book all the more, but even in my complete ignorance I was fascinated with the entire body. Even now I chortle when thinking of the hero driving a whole forty miles and making the trip in less than one day! That must have been some kind of fast autoing. Give this book a chance. Download it now by clicking on the cover and you'll give yourself a great deal of pleasure. * , by Pushkin. A very nice, almost mystical short romance from Paris where everybody still cuddles. Elizabeth is a penniless but sweet young thing living with a mean-spirited but wealthy old Russian Countess. One day Elizabeth glances out her window and there on the street below is this handsome young officer in the Engineers corp.Naturally, Elizabeth shrinks back from the window and clutches at her heart. Here it is, just like it happens in the Russian romance novels - and she is stricken on the spot. "He is in love with me and hoping to get my attention by posting himself there on my Parisian street corner. The swirling snow is turning his lips almost blue on this bitterly cold afternoon, that he ignores because the heat of his passion is keeping his feet and his heart warm." Elizabeth nearly swoons again. Well, I won't ruin it for you. Download this novel and read it for yourself, but I will tell you that with Pushkin at the author's throttle you can look in a dozen mirrors and never know who is the fairest one of them all until the last snowflake melts. * Sense and Sensibility is more modern and strangely nostalgic. Jane Austen wrote several classics,
Sense and Sensibilities,
Pride and Prejudice -- but even Jane's mother had disparaging
things to say about Mansfield Park. Yet almost all the critics agree, the book
is well-written. "It's just --." The Light That Failed, by Rudyard Kipling. LOVE OF LIFE, by Jack London Yes, yet another book yours for free. Here is an exciting collection of frozen north short stories by the great author, Jack London. Because Call of the Wild was so wildly successful we sometimes forget that Jack London had many other titles of wildly successful books. At a mere penny per word it is excusable that Jack London produced some work that was less than perfect and fell to the wayside, but as he began to add notches to his belt to accommodate a larger girth, his natural genius was given the time it needed to produce exceedingly great works. This is a collection of truly great works. Each of the short stories has a depth to them that in this abbreviated day they could almost be published separately as individual novels.

The Southerner,... In reading this epic romance, please remember that it is not just a northern echo of Gone With the Wind. This sweeping novel contains many incidents that might even appear far fetched at first glance, yet they were dug right out of the pages of history. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were born within just a few miles of each other. They actually met once, face to face and neither recognized greatness in the face facing them. Both were Southern gentlemen in their thought processes and character. Their ways parted -- forever, it seemed
--
It was only the tragic sweep of history that
brought them back face to face in the bloodiest war ever fought on
earth, where
gallantry was still precious on the battle field but ideals were
mere
No war was ever watched with more earnest interest by the rest of the world than the American Civil War. This war would bloody the pages of history long after the last soldier was laid down to rest, at Parade Rest. *** Now for a real Treasure... You have read the first one, and yearned for a second novel just as good. Well, a second volume of blazing romance with similar length and even better writing than the first volume is now available by this same author, ready for your immediate download. Its steady finger traces out the romantic life of Jefferson Davis and others with even more exciting detail than our first novel afforded to Abraham Lincoln. Socola will thrill you from the first page to the very last windup. ***
"The House of the Red Death, as you would call it. "That is where we are now —deep in the dungeon room. Once upon a time it was a Hudson Bay post, abandoned almost since I can remember. When I was a child the smallpox plague tore through this way and killed all the people in its path. Nineteen years ago the red plague came again, and again, not one person lived through it in this _Poste de Mort Rouge._ "Since then it has been left to the weasels and the owls and even they have died. It is shunned by every living soul between the Athabasca and the bay. And I shall leave you here. Perhaps you will be safe? "At least, no one shall disturb you." |
