"Moonfleet" (1898) begins as a mystery and an adventure story, a tale of smuggling set among the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset. What will be the outcome of the conflict between smugglers and revenue men? And how can the hero, John Trenchard, discover the secret of Colonel John Mohune's treasure? As the book progresses these two interwoven themes resolve themselves into a third and richer one, with the friendship and suffering of both John Trenchard and the craggy, taciturn Elzevir Block.

The Movie Mystery

#paperback #western #historical #narrative #travel #classic 

This epic travelogue by doctor and naturalist John Kirk Townsend follows his progress across the danger-fraught wilderness of North America in the 1830s.

Townsend was one of thousands of young, adventurous men who ventured westwards. Many of these fellows were trappers and hunters who sought to earn a living finding and selling the pelts of animals. These 'mountain men' were among the first white people to ever witness the Rocky Mountains in person. The ruggedness of these land would claim the lives of many, especially in the initial years when the landscapes were uncharted and unknown.

Unlike most of the men who blazed a trail in those early days, Townsend was a man of science trained in medicine. For this he was a valuable asset to other travelers, for whom injury and illness was a frequent fact of life. From these travels, Townsend honed his observational skills as a naturalist; he became famous for collecting and cataloguing numerous new animals, particularly exotic birds native to North America.

Beginning his trek in the city of St. Louis, and bidding farewell to the last of the human comforts of urban life, Townsend immediately sets to telling of life going west. He sets a descriptive tone; telling the reader about the Native American tribes, their customs and dress, and the many creatures large and small he would spot along his route.

This narrative is valuable for offering a glimpse of the Western frontier as it was long ago; individuals who would otherwise be forgotten and lost to time are described and given life by Townsend. The priests, merchants, trappers and Native Americans he encounters are brought to life, and together they imbue this travelogue with a unique, historical richness.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

In the contested and unexplored territories at the edge of the Empire, a boat is making its laborious way up stream. Riding along the banks are the mercenaries hired to protect it - from raiders, bandits and, most of all, the stretchers, elf-like natives who kill any intruders into their territory. The mercenaries know this is dangerous, deadly work. But it is what they do.

In the boat the drunk governor of the territories and his sons and daughters make merry. They believe that their status makes them untouchable. They are wrong. And with them is a mysterious, beautiful young woman, who is the key to peace between warring nations and survival for the Empire. When a callow mercenary saves the life of the Governor on an ill-fated hunting party, the two groups are thrown together.

For Fisk and Shoe - two tough, honourable mercenaries surrounded by corruption, who know they can always and only rely on each other - their young companion appears to be playing with fire. The nobles have the power, and crossing them is always risky.

And although love is a wonderful thing, sometimes the best decision is to walk away. Because no matter how untouchable or deadly you may be, the stretchers have other plans.

The Story of King Arthur

Switched at birth by a female slave who fears for her infant son's life, a light-skinned child changes places with the master's white son. This simple premise underlies Twain's engrossing 19th-century tale of reversed identities, an eccentric detective, a horrible crime, and a tense courtroom scene.

Book details
Book overview
For some years, Mr. Borland has been writing quarterly articles for The Progressive, and here has assembled in chronological order twenty of these essays, each one treating a season of the year, the sequence covering the years 1964-1968. As always, Hal Borland makes us smell the woodsmoke in Autumn, feel the snow in January, taste the sap in the buckets in early spring, glory in the perfection of a summer dawn, and hear with a felling of mystery the honking of the wild geese in migration or the barking of a fox at midnight. When Hal Borland talks of the land he loves, the green-growing things that spring from it, we don't think in such cold terms as "balance of nature" or "conservation." We know now why the old Navajos sing: "Beauty all around me, with it I return. Now on the trail of beauty, there I return."
