Anna Karenina |
Leo Tolstoy (1828 - 1910) |
Anna Karenina moves in the esteemed circles of St. Petersburg society. She appears to have all the trappings of wealth, a high-ranking husband and a lovely son. Yet, this is not enough for Anna. An affair with Count Vronsky brings excitement for Anna but in its wake follows scandal, jealousy, bitterness and destruction. "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Anna Karenina has been listed the "Greatest Book of all Time" in Time Magazine, January 2007. |

BLACK & WHITE |
Lewis Shiner ( - ) http://www.lewisshiner.com |
The first Fiction Liberation Front Creative Commons licensed novel.
"Lewis Shiner's latest, Black & White, is killer. Strong characters, suspenseful situations, and tremendous insight. A novel that doesn't flinch from social issues, and is so gracefully written it makes you want to weep. Should not be missed. Lewis Shiner is the real deal, and this is his finest work."
--Joe R. Lansdale

Faith Gartney's Girlhood |
A.D.T. Whitney (1824 - 1906) |
1863 Best Seller.
Whitney was an opponent of women's suffrage, although in keeping with her philosophy she took no part in public life.
Her message of then merely conservative values meant that her books sold very well to the parents of girls.
