The Call of the Wild

0.0 (0)

First published in 1903, 'The Call of the Wild' is a concise adventure novel by Jack London, an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. Buck, a strong St Bernard dog is stolen from his relaxing Californian life in Santa Clara Valley and sold to French Canadians, who think Buck is one in a thousand. They bring him to Alaska and train him as a sled dog where he fast discovers how to outlast the cold winter nights and the pack society by observing his teammates. It is Jack London's most popular novel that follows Buck’s journey through the fierce landscapes as a sled dog, passing from one master to another, and getting trained to deeper themes such as survival of the fittest, civilization versus nature, and fate versus free will.

To Kill A Mockingbird

0.0 (0)

One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and voted one of the best novels of the 20th century by librarians across the United States. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father -- a crusading local lawyer -- risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime. Lawyer Atticus Finch defends Tom Robinson -- a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Writing through the young eyes of Finch's children Scout and Jem, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in small-town Alabama during the mid-1930s Depression years. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. [\ To Kill a Mockingbird PDF](
