Originally entitled "The Federalist", "The Federalist Papers" were written and published in the years 1787 and 1788 - a time when furious arguments were raging regarding the way America should be governed. This work made it clear that the intent was to persuade New York voters to ratify the constitution that had been proposed. What was NOT made clear, however, was who wrote "The Federalist Papers", since all 85 of the essays were simply signed "PUBLIUS". Although many guessed that James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay were the likely authors of the essays, it was not until Hamilton's death in 1804 that this was verified. A list was found among Hamilton's papers stating that he had penned 52, James Madison 28, and John Jay the remaining 5 essays. The name "The Federalist Papers" was not adopted until the 20th century. Whatever title you want to use, it remains the quintessential work for interpreting the Constitution of the United States. In this book we are including the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the Bill of Rights in order to provide a complete overview of the important documents that were so intricately woven into the lives of our founding fathers.

Napoleon Hill was an American author who lived from 1883 to 1970.  Many consider him to be the father of personal success literature.    "Think and Grow Rich" is not only Hill's most famous book, it is to this day one of the best selling books of all time.  "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of the hallmark beliefs that provide the foundation for Hill's works.  His hope was to convince the average man that success was within his reach, regardless of his circumstances.    Napoleon Hill knew dire circumstances in his early life.  He was born in a  one-room cabin in a small Appalachian town called Pound in southwest Virginia.  His mother died when he was just eight years old.      At the age of fifteen, he decided to be a "mountain reporter" for some small local newspapers.  He made enough to enter law school, but had to withdraw when the money ran out.    The turning point in Hill's life was when he was assigned to interview the powerful and successful Andrew Carnegie.  Carnegie believed that success could be outlined in a simple formula that anyone could understand and achieve.    Napoleon Hill went on to build upon all he learned from Andrew Carnegie and his books are as popular as ever.  (Timeless Classic Books)

"Walden" was published in 1854.  Henry David Thoreau shares his experiences living somewhat isolated from society in order to understand, first hand, the concepts of simple living and self-sufficiency.      Thoreau built the cabin himself on land owned by his dear from Ralph Waldo Emerson.  The spot is not too far from Concord, Massachusetts.  The cabin was  not far from his family home and was not out in the wilderness as some people believe.  It was actually just on the edge of town.  Thoreau expounds upon the benefits of living a solitary life close to nature.  When speaking of his love of a solitary life he says, "I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude."    Although this is supposed to be an experience in self-sufficiency, we learn that Thoreau was supplied with his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing and fuel by his mother, his best friend and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Waldo Emerson.  The Emersons allowed Thoreau to build his small house and plant a garden in exchange for the clearing of some land and other chores while he was on the land.    Thoreau takes us through his endeavors during his two year period at Walden, including  building and maintaining his house, raising thousands of bean plants and other vegetables, making bread, clearing land, chopping wood, making repairs for the Emersons, going into town, and writing every day.     His time at Walden was his most productive as a writer.    Undoubtedly one of the most famous essayists of all time, Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" seems as apropos today as it did when it was published in 1849.      In today's political climate, you often hear said Thoreau's opening motto - "That governments is best which governs least."  Thoreau felt that government lends itself to corruption by enabling a few men to impose their will on the majority and to profit monetarily from their power.

GREENMANTLE is just one of John Buchan's thirty novels. This one focuses around a political situation taking place in the Middle East. There is talk that the Germans and their Turkish allies are plotting to cause turmoil throughout the Muslim world. Richard Hannay, resourceful soldier and occasional spy, heads off with his old comrade from Africa, Peter Pienaar. The plan is that the two of them will enter Germany via the Netherlands, posing as anti-British exiles anxious to fight on the side of Germany. The story tells how Hannay becomes separated from Peter and becomes seriously ill out in the country. Peter ends up in a German prison and the twists and turns go on from there. Alfred Hitchcock actually preferred GREENMANTLE to THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS that he made into a movie. He never did get GREENMANTLE made, but he dearly wanted to do so.
