 "Over There" with the Australians  | ( - 1918) R. Hugh Knyvett |
|
This account should be taken with a grain of salt.
Knyvett received a fine tribute from Roosevelt, who called him a "Modern Galahad".
"No man", he wrote in the Independent, "could look at his face and not see that he combined, as few men do, the daring and the iron courage of the born fighter,
with the singularly gentle and lofty idealism, the same intensity of spirit which made him so formidable a foe in personal combat, also made him one of the most
convincing and effective speakers who ever stirred to action souls that had been but half awake."

| A Doll's House | (1828 - 1906) Henrik Ibsen |
| Written in 1879, A Doll's House is scathingly critical of the traditional gender roles in marriage in those times. In the story, a stifled Nora learns that her husband is not actually the noble person she imagined and decides to leave him, her children and her "Doll House". Shocking to readers when first published. Critically acclaimed still. | |

I have to say that being a new-comer to Doctorow's work I was hooked from the first page. This is an extremely entertaining, rich, clever, engaging and well-written collection and the stories cover a mixture of topics and characters. -- Laura Kane, SF Crow's Nest
