Excerpt from Antinous: A Romance of Ancient RomeThis lonely man, who remained incomprehensible even to friends and favorites, and whose mortal enemies, as Spartianus expresses himself, had first been his bosom friends, was devoted for a long time to a Bithynian youth, whom he loved as Socrates loved Alcibiades, and Caesar Brutus. This was Aniinom, with whose busts and statues Hadrian has filled the world. What a totally different impression the lad's thoughtful beauty produces upon us from the passion-seamed visage of the master, to whom he was the clearest thing in life. Inno cence and resignation, melancholy and aimless longing have found imperishable expression in these features. A head bowed 'mournfully, with waving locks falling low over the forehead, deep - set, mysterious eyes, brows gen tly curved, cheeks rounded like a girl's, which form a singular contrast to the sorrowful expression about the lips and the delicately-moulded chin: this is Antinous'. The thoughtful, earnest, spiritual head rests upon a strong neck and unusually broad breast, which reveals the athlete, while the body; with its daintily-formed limbs, is as perfect an ideal of beauty as artist ever dreamed in honor of Apollo or Hermes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is a story for kids ages 6 and up. It's about Jesse and Spencer and some other kids are in a very different kind of school. For one thing they go to class by putting on 3D glasses and brain wave sensors. Another difference is that their classes are more like video games than regular classes. The kids interact with the computer by talking to it...and it talks back.They never knew exactly why they get points or even what they needed to do to get points, but that was just part of the game. There were very few instructions or guides at the Singularity School.The computer had been monitoring the kids’ diet and exercise routines and making suggestions. When the kids followed a suggestion they not only got points in the health and willpower skills, they also got extra time in the games. The computer only allowed so many minutes of game time per player, but you could earn extended time through various challenges and activities. The opposite was also true, bad habits could cause you to lose playing time. Extended time was one of the ways some players advanced so fast through the games and levels. They were also healthier and often happier in general, which was nice. The Singularity School is as concerned with their health outside of the games as it was with their skills inside the games.Jesse knew that somehow they were in this game to help Moshi, but with no family or tribe left she didn’t know what they could do. It wasn’t like other video games where they could just start over, and their time in the game was very limited. She could see and feel everything, but she could not actually move objects. She couldn’t force Moshi to do anything, she had to persuade him. She was really no more than an imaginary friend to Moshi. She didn’t know what would happen if Moshi died, and she didn’t want to find out. Then she had an idea...

About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
