Excerpt from Saturday Night Sketches: Stories of Old Wiregrass GeorgiaThe great mountain peaks and the broad roll ing plains do not alone make all the earth. The little foot-hills and valleys and vales form an essential part of the globe. The sayings and deeds of great men alone are not all of history. The humbler folk often speak and do things which are the heart and center of real world events. As the little tributaries rising out of the neglect ed and unknown nooks and corners of the land flow into and make up the mighty river, so out of the obscure places of earth often come those tiny rivulets of life that give volume, force, and majesty to the deep and broad stream of human history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Imperia.--Leonardo, what shall I do? I am your idea, your Imperia. Breathe your spirit into me! What ought I to do? Leonardo.--You have fashioned your life by your will, and you know where it lies.

She was dead. And even her death cannot hold me back. Do you wonder? Leonardo.--Your soul...
