    Leo Tolstoy

    eBook (GoodBook Classics, Dec. 25, 2014)
    In their world frivolous liaisons are commonplace, but Anna and Vronsky’s consuming passion makes them a target for scorn and leads to Anna’s increasing isolation. The heartbreaking trajectory of their relationship contrasts sharply with the colorful swirl of friends and family members who surround them, especially the newlyweds Kitty and Levin, who forge a touching bond as they struggle to make a life together. Quotes from the book:“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”“Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand.”“Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.”Readers' reviews:“This is world-class literature and a story, albeit an older one, which teaches us much about life. I would highly recommend this book as a gift to any young adult. Yes, it is lengthy but here Tolstoy has yielded us one of the finest tales ever written.” (Patrick W. Crabtree)“This is a surprisingly fast-moving, interesting and easy to read novel. The last of which I'd of never believed could be true before reading it, but you find yourself instantly engrossed in this kind of Russian soap opera, filled with weird and intriguing characters. The most notable theme is the way society overlooked mens' affairs but frowned on womens', this immediately created a bond between myself and Anna, who is an extremely likeable character.” (Emily May - goodreads.com)“Earle, who was from Massachusetts, wrote with fascinating details and anecdotes about old gardens and newer gardens of her era that took inspiration from the past. The many photos are a trove for readers interested in restoring an old garden.” (Boston Globe)

  • The War of the Worlds

    Herbert George Wells

    eBook (GoodBook Classics, Oct. 6, 2014)
    “No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own.” Thus begins one of the most terrifying and morally prescient science fiction novels ever penned. H. G. Wells raises questions of mortality, man’s place in nature, and the evil lurking in the technological future—questions that remain urgently relevant in the twenty-first century.Quotes from the book:“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own.”“We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.”“Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.”Readers' reviews:“Finally! A five-star novel by H. G. Wells!” (Marvin, goodreads.com)“This book was excellent! And we must give “props” to Wells because this is allegedly the first novel ever written about an alien invasion.” (Mark, goodreads.com)“The book War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells is a very well written, amazing book.” (Alex, goodreads.com)
