The work is fictionally presented as a translation from the manuscript by Jean Francois Alden, or, in the words of the published book, "Freely Translated out of the Ancient French into Modern English from the Original Unpublished Manuscript in the National Archives of France". De Conte is a fictionalized version of Joan of Arc's page Louis de Contes, and provides narrative unity to the story. He is presented as an individual who was with Joan during the three major phases of her life - as a youth in Domremy, as the commander of Charles' army on military campaign, and as a defendant at the trial in Rouen. The book is presented as a translation by Alden of de Conte's memoirs, written in his later years for the benefit of his descendants.

Quo vadis is Latin for "Where are you going?" and alludes to a New Testament verse (John 13:36). The verse, in the King James Version, reads as follows, "Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards." Quo Vadis tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero around AD 64. Sienkiewicz studied the Roman Empire extensively prior to writing the novel, with the aim of getting historical details correct. As such, several historical figures appear in the book. As a whole, the novel carries a powerful pro-Christian message. Published in installments in three Polish dailies in 1895, it came out in book form in 1896 and has since been translated into more than 50 languages. This novel contributed to Sienkiewicz's Nobel Prize for literature in 1905.

One day some money is missing from the office. It’s pretty obvious who the thief is, but Uncle Josiah continues to accuse Don. Another worker has a row with his new young wife, and Don and he (Jem) decide to go away for a bit, both feeling rather ill-used. Unfortunately they are taken that night by the press-gang, and after some attempts to get away, they sail away to New Zealand. Here they manage to escape from the ship, though the search for them is keen. They fall in with some Maoris, among whom lives an Englishman, who is actually an escaped convict, but a good chap nonetheless. They assist the Maoris in their own battles against other tribes. The scene turns to some English settlers. They become friendly with our heroes. A Maori tribe attacks then, having been set up to do so by three villains, who have also escaped from the convict settlement at Norfolk Island. They hold their own, but there is a timely intervention by the police. One of the three villains turn out to have been the man who actually stole the money from Uncle Josiah’s office. From this point things begin to turn out for the better, and the two heroes return to England, and all is forgiven. http://feedbooks.com/book/3543.png http://feedbooks.com/book/3543.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/3543.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/3543.mobi The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard Arthur Conan Doyle http://feedbooks.com/book/364 urn:isbn:0940322730 en 1896 Novels History War This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://feedbooks.com/book/364.png http://feedbooks.com/book/364.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/364.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/364.mobi The Figure in the Carpet Henry James http://feedbooks.com/book/473 en 1896 Short Fiction This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://feedbooks.com/book/473.png http://feedbooks.com/book/473.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/473.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/473.mobi The Idiots Joseph Conrad http://feedbooks.com/book/737 urn:isbn:0543899667 en 1896 Short Fiction This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://feedbooks.com/book/737.png http://feedbooks.com/book/737.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/737.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/737.mobi The Island of Dr. Moreau H.
