Books with author Arthur Meier

Excerpt from Prairie AvenuePrairie Avenue is a novel and, like all novels, is a mixture of fact and fiction. None of the characters is meant to be a portrait of any actual Chicagoan, living or dead; the author has, both intentionally and unintentionally (as a novelist must), scrambled houses and people, births and marriages, divorces and deaths, so that (he hopes) it would be a very wise descendant indeed who could match his ancestors to the histo ries belonging to them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“When your soul is trapped in a book, there's only one thing you can do. Tell your way out.”The pages have gone blank and Ruth Mar finds her soul trapped in a book. How does a soul become stuck in a book? Well if she knew the answer to that, she would never have been in such a terrible spot. Nevertheless, this is not the story of how she lost her soul. It is the story of how her soul escapes.Guided by the hints of Professor Vernon James, her aunt's mysterious neighbor, Ruth discovers the book's evil power. Her thoughts are written on the blank pages. The only way out, to trap another soul with a story so good, the final page is turned. But there are rules to this deadly game.Rule #1: You must tell your story one page at a time.Rule #2: Your thoughts remain while the book is open. Rule #3: Your story must be original. Nothing copied or borrowed is allowed. Rule #4: To free your soul, another’s must be trapped. From the ancient plains of Africa to a neighborhood birthday party, Ruth's race to save her soul comes at a terrible price, with another reader gasping in horror at the final four words.Your Soul is Mine!See the trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adQTJPfNmEI

Excerpt from The World's Greatest Books, Vol. 2: FictionOne damp, misty March morning, I dismounted from the top Of a coach in the yard Of a London inn. Deliver ing my scanty baggage to a porter, I followed him to a lodging prepared for me by an acquaintance. It con sisted Of a small room in which I was to sit, and a smaller: one still in which I was to sleep.Having breakfasted comfortably by a good fire, I sallied forth and easily found my way to the place I was in quest Of, for it was scarcely ten minutes' walk dis tant. I was cordially received by the big man to whom some Of my productions had been sent by a kind friend, and to whom he had given me a letter Of introduction, which was respectfully read. But he informed me that he was selling his publishing business, and SO could not make use Of my literary help. He gave me counsel, however, especially advising me to write some evangelical tales, in the style Of the Dairyman's Daughter. As I told him I had never heard Of that work, he said Then, sir, procure it by all means. Much more con versation ensued, during which the publisher told me that he purposed continuing to issue once a month his maga zine, the Oxford Review, and to this he proposed that I should attempt to contribute. AS I was going away he invited me to dine with him on the ensuing Sunday.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
