Night and Day is a novel by Virginia Woolf first published on 20 October 1919. Set in Edwardian London, Night and Day contrasts the daily lives and romantic attachments of two acquaintances, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. The novel examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness, and success.  Dialogue and descriptions of thought and actions are used in equal amount, unlike in Woolf's later book, To the Lighthouse. There are four major characters, Katharine Hilbery, Mary Datchet, Ralph Denham, and William Rodney. Night and Day deals with issues concerning women's suffrage, if love and marriage can coexist, and if marriage is necessary for happiness. Motifs throughout the book includes the stars and sky, the River Thames, and walks. Also, Woolf makes many references to the works of William Shakespeare, especially As You Like It.

Thoreau sbirthplace, and his life-long place of residence, except for a few short periods, is an inland town about twenty miles from Boston. The town is in the center of a large tract which first drew settlers to it because of its great meadows on theM usketaquid River. Back from the stream are sandy or rocky uplands, covered for the most part, as they always have been, with woods of oak, pine, chestnut and maple. The people are chiefly farmers, but a considerable number of mechanics, merchants and professional men dwell in the village. As a whole the region is one of quiet serenity, favorable to leisurely thought and rambling, and also to that persistent industry by which New England thrives. In Thoreau stime Concord was a somewhat smaller place than now, and naturally was rather more rustic. The population was about two thousand, the mode of life plain and unostentatious, and the people generally thrifty, few having wealth, but, on the other hand, few being pinched by poverty. The farm houses were usually of the ample and substantial type that bespoke antiquity and hospitality.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

The Scarlet Letter

Hawthorne,Nathaniel

Based upon Michiavelli's first hand experience as an emissary of the Florentine Republic to the courts of Europe. The Prince analyzes the often violent means by which political power is seized and retained, and the circumstance in which it is lost. Because The Prince is a political commentary, and not a work of fiction, Michiavelli does not use "characters" in the sense of a novel or a short story. Instead he draws his examples from the current political and social events, as well as from history. His characters are the political leaders of his time.
