  • The Waters of Caney Fork: A Romance of Tennessee

    Opie Percival Read

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

  • In the Alamo

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Feb. 5, 2019)
    Excerpt from In the AlamoAmong the tricks which I learned was to bow to pride and to pat vanity upon the back; and I discovered that nearly every man who takes an interest in politics believes that he can successfully manage a campaign. Politi eiaus have made themselves familiar, and therefore their wisdom is looked upon by the ignorant and the fawning with a certain degree of contempt. But we all of us know that without the experience of politics it would be almost impossible for a man to be a prae tical statesman.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

  • Mrs. Annie Green: a romance

    Opie P. Read

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Oct. 26, 2015)
    About the Book The romance novel, which is sometimes termed the romantic novel, places its primary focus on the development of a romantic relationship and love between two people. The sub-genres of the romance novel include: fantasy, historical romance, paranormal fiction, and science fiction. Romance novels existed in ancient Greece, and were also to be found in the literary fiction of the 18th and 19th centuries in the works of such authors as Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen.Also in this 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.And in this Book Ancient Greek drama flourished from 700 BC, particularly in Athens, where it was incorporated in a festival called the Dionysia, honouring the god Dionysus. There emerged the tragedy (late 500 BC), the comedy (490 BC), and the satyr play. Theater also came to occupy an important component of Roman society, as it became the primary means through which political emotions could be expressed during the republican and imperial periods. Works by Plautus, Terence, and Seneca the Younger survive to this day. Medieval drama refers to the period between the fall of the Western Roman Empire (5th century A.D.) and the Renaissance beginning in the 15th century A.D., and includes genres such as liturgical drama, mystery plays, morality plays, farces and masques.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: republish only hand checked books; that are high quality; enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!
