Black Beauty (Indiana Illustrated Classics) / Anna Sewell ; Children's Classics

Public ISBD Title : Black Beauty (Indiana Illustrated Classics) Material Type: printed text Authors: Anna Sewell, Author ; Children's Classics, Author Publisher: Dover Publications Publication Date: 1999 Pagination: 192 p. Size: Paperback Accompanying material: Number of items : 1 ISBN (or other code): 978-81-8408-203-6 Abstract: Perhaps the most celebrated animal story of the 19th century, Black Beauty is the suspenseful and deeply moving account of a horse's experiences at the hands of many owners — some, sensitive riders who treated him gently; others, cruel drivers who thoughtlessly inflicted lasting damage. Written as the animal's autobiography, and as an appeal for the humane treatment of horses, Anna Sewell's beloved classic reveals as much about human conduct and the social ills of the time as it does about the treatment of animals. Scenes from the lives of both the landed gentry and the impoverished working class offer a subtle but well-rounded perspective of social conditions in England during the late 19th century. Animal lovers of all ages will cherish this memorable story.

A Christmas Carol / Charles Dickens

Public ISBD Title : A Christmas Carol Material Type: printed text Authors: Charles Dickens, Author Edition statement: Unabridged Publisher: Dover Publications Publication Date: 1991 Pagination: 80 p. Size: Paperback Accompanying material: Number of items : 1 ISBN (or other code): 978-81-7987-129-4 General note: Format : Unabridged Abstract: In October 1843, Charles Dickens ? heavily in debt and obligated to his publisher ? began work on a book to help supplement his family's meager income. That volume, A Christmas Carol, has long since become one of the most beloved stories in the English language. As much a part of the holiday season as holly, mistletoe, and evergreen wreaths, this perennial favorite continues to delight new readers and rekindle thoughts of charity and goodwill. With its characters exhibiting many qualities ? as well as failures ? often ascribed to Dickens himself, the imaginative and entertaining tale relates Ebenezer Scrooge's eerie encounters with a series of spectral visitors. Journeying with them through Christmases past, present, and future, he is ultimately transformed from an arrogant, obstinate, and insensitive miser to a generous, warmhearted, and caring human being. Written by one of England's greatest and most popular novelists, A Christmas Carol has come to epitomize the true meaning of Christmas.

Gitanjali / Rabindranath Tagore

Public ISBD Title : Gitanjali Material Type: printed text Authors: Rabindranath Tagore, Author Edition statement: Unabridged Publisher: Dover Publications Publication Date: 2011 Pagination: 64 p. Size: Paperback Accompanying material: Number of items : 1 ISBN (or other code): 978-81-7987-036-5 General note: Format : Unabridged Abstract: A Bengali poet and mystic, Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) had long been loved and admired in India, but it was not until the publication of his own English translation of more than a hundred of his Bengali poems in 1913 that he achieved international fame — and a Nobel Prize. Comprised of moving, heartfelt prose poems reminiscent of Blake and Gibran — many almost biblical in their rhythms, phrasings, and images — Gitanjali (Song Offerings) was inspired by medieval Indian lyrics of devotion in which the principal subject is love, through some poems detail the internal conflict between spiritual longings and earthly desires, and others depict images drawn from nature. In his introduction to this translation, William Butler Yeats writes: "I have carried the manuscript of these translations about with me for days and I have often had to close it lest some stranger would see how much it moved me." This new edition is sure to earn Tagore a broad new following.
