Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ...wife of Master Ulrich Schwab. The famous guild of Antwerp painters admitted him with pride to be one of their company, and his pictures would be highly esteemed to this day but that they are commonly attributed to other masters, for he never signed his name to any of his works. Of the four Words by whose guidance he had tried to shape his life he had learned to condemn Glory and Power. Fortune and Art remained faithful to him, it is true; for just as the earth has no brightness in itself, but derives its light from the sun, so did Fortune and Art borrow all their splendor, charm, and power from Love. The reckless Electo, whose sword had raged in the fight, had now become a good-hearted neighbor in the fullest Christian sense of the word, and of his worthy master's teaching. Many a stranger has gazed with silent delight at a noble picture representing a handsome and thoughtfully happy mother leading her three blooming children toward an old man, who holds out his arms to them. The old man is Adam, the young mother is Ruth, the three children are the swordsmith's grandchildren. Ulrich Schwab painted it. Antonio Moor died not long after Ulrich's marriage, and a year later Sophonisba di Moncada came to Antwerp to visit the grave of the man she had so tenderly regarded. She had heard from Moor of his finding his old Madrid pupil again, and her first visit was to Ulrich. After she had looked at his work she said, brightly: \" The Word--you know it now, master? I told you then--you remember--that you had found the right one. You have altered since then--altered greatly, and it is a pity you should have cut off your long hair. Still you look like a happy man; and to what do you owe it? To the Word--the one and only true...

An Egyptian Princess, Volume 6. by Georg Ebers

It is now four years since this book first appeared before the public, and I feel it my duty not to let a second edition go forth into the world without a few words of accompaniment. It hardly seems necessary to assure my readers that I have endeavored to earn for the following pages the title of a "corrected edition." An author is the father of his book, and what father could see his child preparing to set out on a new and dangerous road, even if it were not for the first time, without endeavoring to supply him with every good that it lay in his power to bestow, and to free him from every fault or infirmity on which the world could look unfavorably? The assurance therefore that I have repeatedly bestowed the greatest possible care on the correction of my Egyptian Princess seems to me superfluous, but at the same time I think it advisable to mention briefly where and in what manner I have found it necessary to make these emendations.

Aus dem Buch: "Felsen, nackte, harte, rothbraune Felsen ringsum; kein Strauch, kein Halm, kein anschmiegendes Moos, das sonst wohl die Natur, als habe ein Athemzug ihres schöpferischen Lebens den unfruchtbaren Stein gestreift, auf die Felsflächen des Hochgebirges hinhaucht. Nichts als glatter Granit und darüber ein Himmel, so leer von jedem Gewölk, wie die Felsen von Sträuchern und Gräsern. Und doch, in jener Höhlung der Bergeswand regt sich menschliches Leben, und zwei kleine graue Vögel wiegen sich in der reinen, leichten, von der Mittagssonne durchglühten Wüstenluft und verschwinden hinter einer Klippenreihe, die, wie eine Mauer von Menschenhand, eine tiefe Schlucht begrenzt..."

With an Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury The story of Edmund Dantes, self-styled Count of Monte Cristo, is told with consummate skill. The victim of a miscarriage of justice, Dantes is fired by a desire for retribution and empowered by a stroke of providence. In his campaign of vengeance, he becomes an anonymous agent of fate. The sensational narrative of intrigue, betrayal, escape, and triumphant revenge moves at a cracking pace. Dumas' novel presents a powerful conflict between good and evil embodied in an epic saga of rich diversity that is complicated by the hero's ultimate discomfort with the hubristic implication of his own actions.

One of the most universally loved and admired English novels, Pride and Prejudice was penned as a popular entertainment. But the consummate artistry of Jane Austen (1775–1817) transformed this effervescent tale of rural romance into a witty, shrewdly observed satire of English country life that is now regarded as one of the principal treasures of English language. In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, a country squire of no great means must marry off his five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are his headstrong second daughter Elizabeth Bennet and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy — two lovers whose pride must be humbled and prejudices dissolved before the novel can come to its splendid conclusion.

The Pastor's Son by William W. Walter

"Study hard and get good grades and you will find a high-paying job with great benefits," my parents used to say. Their goal in life was to provide a college education for my older sister and me, so that we would have the greatest chance for success in life. When T finally earned my diploma in 1976-graduating with honors, and near the top of my class, in accounting from Florida State University-my parents had realized their goal. It was the crowning achievement of their lives. In accordance with the "Master Plan," I was hired by a "Big 8" accounting firm, and I looked forward to a long career and retirement at an early age.
