Book Description
Excerpt from The Mantle and Other Stories As a novel-writer and a dramatist, Gogol appears to me to deserve a minute study, and if the knowledge of Russian were more widely Spread, he could not fail to obtain in Europe a reputation equal to that of the best English humorists. A delicate and close observer, quick to detect the absurd, bold in exposing, but inclined to push his fun too far, Gogol is in the first place a very lively satirist. He is merciless towards fools and rascals, but he has only one weapon at his disposal - irony. This is a weapon which is too severe to use against the merely absurd, and on the other hand it is not sharp enough for the punishment of crime; and it is against crime that Gogol too often uses it. His comic vein is always too near the farcical, and his mirth is hardly contagious. If sometimes he makes his reader laugh, he still leaves in his mind a feeling of bitterness and indignation; his satires do not avenge society, they only make it angry.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Magic Mantle: And Other Stories Part I. of this little romance is confessedly an elaboration of the incidents in the old ballad, "The Boy and the Mantle." The author has, however, furnished a setting, chosen the time of the action, and made a few changes and additions, chief of which is the role assigned to Merlin, of whom the ballad makes no mention whatever. In the metrical version the elfin boy is the central figure; in the present story Merlin is the protagonist. The elfin is but the servant of the magician, at whose instance he comes to aid in the performance of an imperative but disagreeable duty.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Severed Mantle In this book I have tried to picture Provence in the time of the troubadours. I show the "land of the nightingale and rose" when Idealism reigned supreme, with Love, Joy, and Song her counsellors. Here love first ceased to mean passion, and homage of woman grew to be a religion; the joy of life was over all, and song the natural expression of every feeling. At the very heart of it there was a great earnestness, but it was the fervor of children - children who had lofty dreams to which they could not climb. They believed that love should come to youth as the hawthorn bud to springtime, - not desire, but devotion which asked little, and found contentment in itself. No matter how strong the love or how inspired the song, it must be always controlled by "mesura." This was no less their creed, though the most devout broke the chains which held them - for the world was young. I have chosen to write with a simplicity which is not always warm and brilliant, because this manner best expresses the spirit of the time. The book is not a tale of adventure, though perils are experienced; nor is it a historical novel, though its characters breathed the soft air of Provence in the latter half of the Twelfth Century.

Book Description
This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book Description
Filled with stunning photos, this book by the #1 New York Times–bestselling sportswriter tells the story of Mickey Mantle’s legendary career. Mickey Mantle has long been considered one of baseball's most memorable figures—playing his entire eighteen-year baseball career for the New York Yankees (1951-68), winning three American League MVP titles, playing in twenty All-Star games, and winning seven World Series. Today, decades after his retirement, he still holds six World Series records, including most home runs (18). Buzz Bissinger, Pulitzer Prize winner and acclaimed author of Friday Night Lights and Three Nights in August, goes beyond the statistics to bring Mantle to life, and striking photographs by Marvin E. Newman make this book a fitting tribute to Mantle’s career and his lasting impact on the sport of baseball.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mantle of the East My wanderings in the East have been spread over ten years, but what one gains in insight during a long stay one loses in the power of conveying. The most illuminating books on India have been written by people who pass through, seeing everything with fresh eyes, yet necessarily sacrificing something of just truth to the preconceived I-felt-as-if-'a-page had fluttered out of the Arabian Nights attitude. That is the visionary gleam of travel. We lose it when we learn that truth is not always beauty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mantle of Elijah: A Novel H, there you are, Miss Ally, blazing away the gas. Here's a letter for you. Put it down, Gwenny. Allegra's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, did not lift itself from the paper on which her pen was rhyming, and the bedroom mirror before which she wrote con tinned to reflect only a curly head of reddish-brown hair. The Old Welsh family servant stared. Allegra's wont was to fall on her rare letters like a famished tigress and tear open their Vitals in a twinkling. You might be telling us the news from the young ladies, Gwenny said with asperity. Allegra did not reply, but made a long erasure, frowned, and gnawed at her quill. You might be telling your mother the news from the young ladies, persisted Gwenny severely. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
