It is a play of which the dialogue is uttered by invisible personages, the actors and the scenery being only luminous shadows. Wherefore it is peculiarly well suited to goblinries and weirdnessess of all kinds; and plays in which ghosts figure are the favourite subject. -from "Of Ghosts and Goblins" In 1889, Westerner Lafcadio Hearn arrived in Japan on a journalistic assignment, and he fell so in love with the nation and its people that he never left. In 1894, just as Japan was truly opening to the West and global interest in Japanese culture was burgeoning, Hearn published this delightful series of essays glorifying what he called the "rare charm of Japanese life." Beautifully written and a joy to read, Hearn's love letters to the land of the rising sun enchant with their sweetly lyrical descriptions of winter street fairs, puppet theaters, religious statuaries, even the Japanese smile and its particular allure. A wonderful journal of immersion on a foreign land, this will bewitch Japanophiles and travelers to the East. http://feedbooks.com/book/2056.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2056.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2056.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2056.mobi Madam Crowl's Ghost and the Dead Sexton Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu http://feedbooks.com/book/1553 urn:isbn:1847026826 en 1871 Short Fiction Horror Ghost Stories http://feedbooks.com/book/1553.png http://feedbooks.com/book/1553.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/1553.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/1553.mobi Middlemarch George Eliot http://feedbooks.com/book/575 urn:isbn:0451529170 en 1871 Novels Vast and crowded, rich in irony and suspense, Middlemarch is richer still in character, with two of the era's most enduring characters, Dorothea Brooke, trapped in a loveless marriage, and Lydgate, an ambitious young doctor. http://feedbooks.com/book/575.png http://feedbooks.com/book/575.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/575.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/575.mobi Pink and White Tyranny Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe http://feedbooks.com/book/2204 en 1871 Novels http://feedbooks.com/book/2204.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2204.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2204.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2204.mobi Tales of Old Japan Lord Redesdale http://feedbooks.com/book/2726 urn:isbn:0804833214 en 1871 Short Fiction History Collections Tales of Old Japan is an anthology of short stories, compiled by Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford, Lord Redesdale, writing under the better known name of A.B. Mitford. These stories focus on the varying aspects of Japanese life in centuries past. The book, which was written in 1871, is still regarded as an excellent introduction to Japanese literature and culture, by virtue of its ease of access and supplemental notes by the writer. Also included are the author's eyewitness accounts of a selection of Japanese rituals, ranging from the harakiri and marriage to a selection of sermons. This book had a lasting influence on the Western perception of Japanese history, culture and society, particularly because of just one widely known tale about samurai revenge.

It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on. http://feedbooks.com/book/23.png http://feedbooks.com/book/23.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/23.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/23.mobi
