A Dream of John Ball William Morris http://feedbooks.com/book/3688 urn:isbn:1603124330 en 1888 Novels History Politics A Dream of John Ball (1888) is a novel by English author William Morris about the English peasants' revolt of 1381 and the rebel John Ball. Like the novels close contemporary - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) by Mark Twain - it describes a dream and time travel encounter between the medieval and modern worlds. However unlike Twain's vision of a violent and chaotic "Dark Age", Morris describes a positive image of the Middle Ages, seeing it as a golden, if brief, period when peasants were prosperous and happy and guilds protected workers from exploitation. http://feedbooks.com/book/3688.png http://feedbooks.com/book/3688.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/3688.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/3688.mobi A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder James De Mille http://feedbooks.com/book/2363 urn:isbn:1592247725 en 1888 Novels Fantasy Adventure http://feedbooks.com/book/2363.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2363.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2363.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2363.mobi Christmas with Grandma Elsie Martha Finley http://feedbooks.com/book/3523 en 1888 Novels A Christmas story from the Elsie series. http://feedbooks.com/book/3523.png http://feedbooks.com/book/3523.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/3523.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/3523.mobi Colonel Quaritch, V.C.

In "The Antichrist," Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of ones religious or philosophical point of view, "The Antichrist" makes for an engaging philosophical discourse. http://feedbooks.com/book/711.png http://feedbooks.com/book/711.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/711.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/711.mobi The Aspern Papers Henry James http://feedbooks.com/book/425 en 1888 Short Fiction This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://feedbooks.com/book/425.png http://feedbooks.com/book/425.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/425.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/425.mobi The Chronic Argonauts H. G. Wells http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1518 en 1888 Short Fiction Science Fiction This brief story begins with a third-person account of the arrival of a mysterious inventor to the peaceful Welsh town of Llyddwdd. Dr. Nebogipfel takes up residence in a house sorely neglected after the deaths of its former inhabitants. The main bulk of the story concerns the apprehension of the simple rural folk who eventually storm the inventor's "devilish" workshop in an effort to repay supposed witchery. Nebogipfel escapes with one other person—the sympathetic Reverend Elijah Ulysses Cook—in what is later revealed to be a time machine.

The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the white roses tell her that there's a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night, and sacrifice her life to do so. Seeing the student in tears, the nightingale carries out the ritual, and impales herself on the rose-tree's thorn so that her heart's blood can stain the rose. The student takes the rose to the professor's daughter, but she again rejects him because another man has sent her some real jewels, and "everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers." The student angrily throws the rose into the gutter, returns to his study of metaphysics, and decides not to believe in true love anymore. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/21.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/21.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/21.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/21.mobi The Patagonia Henry James http://feedbooks.com/book/430 urn:isbn:1883011094 en 1888 Short Fiction This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://feedbooks.com/book/430.png http://feedbooks.com/book/430.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/430.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/430.mobi
