In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll uncovers more than he could possibly have imagined- he discovers a monster.The Strange Story of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde is a spine-chilling thriller, set in the darkened fog streets of Victorian England.

The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular horse named Black Beauty-beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm with his mother, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.

Horatio Nelson is considered by some to be one of the most inspiring and perplexing characters in history. In this biography of Horatio Nelson, Ernle Bradford discusses Nelson's own battles, but also looks at naval warfare of the period in general. The author describes the strategies, the tactics, the ponderous ship-to-ship bombardments, the terrifying injuries, as well as Nelson's policy of annihilation of the opposing fleet, making the point that Nelson regarded the escape of a single enemy ship as a failure.

Walden describes Henry David Thoreau's experiment in living in the relative wilds by Walden Pond from 1845 to 1847. It has become an American classic in its examination of the ecology of his time, and is, by turns, a source of philosophical speculation, social protest, political and practical advice, personal anecdote and the study of nature. As Chris Angus points out in the introduction 'had the noble ideals that its author delineated almost a century and a half ago become widely accepted, we might not now be facing the many overwhelming difficulties of our own age'.

History & Criticism

This is the classic novel of the American West, which served as a model for thousands of later novels and films. 
It is a story of ranch life and cowboy living at the turn of the century. The hero of the novel, the "Virginian", the only name by which he is known, has left his native state at an early age to try his fortunes in the western country. After roughing it along the way, he settles on Judge Henry's cattle ranch in Wyoming, where the owner makes him his right-hand man. The Virginian is strikingly handsome, twetny-seven years old, and, though unversed in the ways of the world and ignorant as to book learning, he has character and personality that inspire respect from all who know him. He manages to force on a turbulent community his idea of law and order-- "getting the drop" on an enemy, vigilante committees, and lynch law. 
The novel recounts his adventures, including his romantic initiation at the hands of Molly Wood, the Vermont girl who became a western school techer. And it introduces him to Trampas, the legendary villain who is the prototype of the "bad guys" of future western novels and films. 
"The Virginian" has been filmed three times, most memorably with Gary Cooper, and also became a long-running television series.
