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 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.

Valdai Hills lay the village of Svir. In the distance the outline of the banks of the river Tver could be discerned, but the Tver was frozen and lay like a curving sheet of glass under the cold grey Russian sky. Behind the village rose the black forbidding hills, black with dense timber that even the ever-falling snow could not lighten. In front, stretching so far away in the distance that the eye could scarce tell where trees commenced or ended, lay the great black pine forest of Sukhona, flaked here and there with patches of snow. Between the village and the forest lay the scanty fields which did duty for cultivation in that part of Russia. The village itself was mean and paltry to the eye of anyone accustomed to the village life of softer climes, mean even though the soft white mantle of snow lay over all things, dressing the low roofs and the dirty walls of the houses with a beauty and splendour that natures artist hand knows how to bestow.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from The Watcher on the Tower a NovelHere and there a peasant slouched about, clad for the most part in sheep-skins - dirty, unkempt, vile; low of brow, broad of shoulder, tall of stature, physically strong but mentally low as the cattle in the stables a brutish breed, not fit to die for a great country or live for it: a pack of white savages, lower in the scale of humanity than many a black barbarian horde in warmer climes. There was a sullen savageness about these peasants that fitted in well with the lowering sky, the sombre forests, the frozen river, the bleak hills, and bare plains. The women were not so bad as the men - women never are, as a class; they are always a little higher than the men, a little less selfish, a little less animal in their aspirations and desires. Yes, the women of the village of Svir took some of the greyness out of the life of the place; not that they were beautiful or chaste, but rather because they were less ugly than the men, less immoral in ideas and acts.Now and again another class of person, male or female, passed swiftly through or about Svir - Jews or jewesses.No need to ask their race or breeding; their blood was written in their faces - the blood of the most marvellous race of people the world has known or probably ever will know - Jews, the servants of the world and the conquerors thereof - Jews.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
