Story
In der Christnacht, Erzählung von Peter Rosegger: In unserer Stube, an der mit grauem Lehm übertünchten Ofenmauer, stand jahraus, jahrein ein Schemel aus Eichenholz. Er war immer glatt und rein gescheuert, denn er wurde, wie die anderen Stubengeräte, jeden Samstag mit feinem Bachsand und einem Strohwisch abgerieben. In der Zeit des Frühlings, des Sommers und des Herbstes stand dieser Schemel leer und einsam in seinem Winkel, nur an jedem Tag zur Abendzeit zog ihn die Ahne etwas weiter hervor, kniete auf denselben hin und verrichtete ihr Abendgebet.

Story
Der Österreicher Peter Rosegger (1843 - 1918) war bekannt für seine Heimatgeschichten aus der Steiermark. Leiser Humor und erzählerische Schlichtheit prägen diese Geschichten, die von der ländlichen Heimat und dem kargen, aber innigen Familienleben berichten. Als ich die Christtagsfreude holen ging ist ein besonders schönes Beispiel dafür - die Geschichte des jungen Peter, der auf den langen, mühsamen Weg in die die Stadt geschickt wird, um die Zutaten für das Weihnachtsmahl zu beschaffen.

Aber das Holz war hart geworden; länger als vierhundert Jahre war es her, dass dieser Hütte Gezimmer emporgesprossen war als junger, grünender, säuselnder, wohldufthauchender Wald.

Jede der Ziegen hatte ihren kleinen Futterbarren, aus dem sie Heu oder Klee fraß, während wir sie molken. Keine einzige gab die Milch am leeren Barren. Die Ziegen hießen Zitzerl, Zutzerl, Zeitzerl und Heitzerl und waren, eben auch einer schönen Schenkung zufolge, das Eigentum von uns Kindern. Das Zitzerl und das Zutzerl gehörten meinen zwei Schwesterchen; das Zeitzerl meinem achtjährigen Bruder Jakoberle, das Heitzerl war mein!

Als ich Bettelbub gewesen, Erzählung von Peter Rosegger: Die schmale Straße, die durch den Wald ging, hatte weißen Sand und dunkles Moos, war zur sonnigen Zeit nicht staubig und an Regentagen nicht lehmig. Sie zog nicht in der Schlucht, sie zog auf der sanften Bergeshöhe hin, wo das kurze, grüne Heidekraut und in dünner Anzahl die alten, verknöcherten Fichtenbäumchen standen. Stellenweise ging der Weg über eitel grünen Rasen, und kein Wagengeleise war gedrückt; behendige Ameisenvölker trieben auf dieser Straße ihren Handel und Wandel.

Story
Peter Rosegger (eigentlich Roßegger) war ein österreichischer Schriftsteller und Poet. Die Schreibweise seines Namens Roßegger änderte er in Rosegger, als seine ersten Veröffentlichungen erschienen, da es in seiner Heimatgegend fünf Peter Roßegger gab, von denen einige nicht mit ihm verwandt waren und mit denen er nicht verwechselt werden wollte. Bis etwa 1893 veröffentlichte er unter dem Namen P. K. Rosegger, erst seither scheint er den Rufnamen Peter vorgezogen zu haben. Einmal verwendete er auch das Pseudonym Hans Malser.

Geschichten unter dem wechselnden Mond, Erzählung von Peter Rosegger: Eine sommerliche Mondnacht im Waldlande! Was kann es auf dieser Erde Lieblicheres geben! Das Haus steht einsam auf der tannenumgrenzten Au. Alles ruht; der Brunnen aber sprudelt seine ewige Kette. Diese hebt in der Dunkelheit nun auf einmal an zu glühen und zu funkeln. Dort über den scharfgeschnittenen Zacken des Tannenwaldes steigt still und klar der Mond herauf, als höbe er sich empor mitten aus einem geheimnisvollen Urwald, in dem die wunderbaren Märchen sind.

Die steirische Waldheimat, wo Peter Rosegger aufwuchs, ist der Schauplatz und Ausgangspunkt seiner Geschichten. In der einfachen Umgebung seines Elternhauses, dem Kluppeneggerhof, ereigneten sich Geschichten, die sich tief in seine Erinnerung eingeprägten: An die Felder meines Vaters grenzte der Ebenwald, der sich über Höhen weithin gegen Mitternacht erstreckte und dort mit den Hochwaldungen des Heugrabens und des Teufelssteins zusammenhing.

Story
Set during the time of the Napoleonic Wars, this classic gives a satirical picture of a worldly society. The novel revolves around the exploits of the impoverished but beautiful and devious Becky Sharp who craves wealth and a position in society. Calculating and determined to succeed, she charms, deceives and manipulates everyone she meets. A novel of early 19th-century English society, it takes its title from the place designated as the centre of human corruption in John Bunyan's 17th-century allegory.

Story
Set during the time of the Napoleonic Wars, this classic gives a satirical picture of a worldly society. The novel revolves around the exploits of the impoverished but beautiful and devious Becky Sharp who craves wealth and a position in society. Calculating and determined to succeed, she charms, deceives and manipulates everyone she meets. A novel of early 19th-century English society, it takes its title from the place designated as the centre of human corruption in John Bunyan's 17th-century allegory.

Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Flannery O’Connor’s astonishing and haunting first novel is a classic of 20th-century literature. It is the story of Hazel Motes, a 22-year-old caught in an unending struggle against his innate, desperate faith. He falls under the spell of a “blind” street preacher named Asa Hawks and his degenerate fifteen-year-old daughter. In an ironic, malicious gesture of his own non-faith, and to prove himself a greater cynic than Hawks, Hazel founds The Church of God Without Christ but is still thwarted in his efforts to lose God.

Story
The French thinker and political theorist Georges Sorel (1847-1922), fired up by his interest in Marxism and his anger at the injustice of the Dreyfus case, faced this challenge and in the seven chapters of Reflections on Violence he explored the question. It proved sufficiently stimulating over succeeding decades to be espoused by both Marxists and Fascists alike: class struggle, revolution and above all radical change were central to Sorel’s thought.

This classic work of political theory and practice offers an account of the modern Machiavellians, a remarkable group who have been influential in Europe and practically unknown in the United States. The book devotes a long section to Machiavelli himself as well as to such modern Machiavellians as Gaetano Mosca, Georges Sorel, Robert Michels and Vilfredo Pareto. Burnham contends that the writings of these men hold the key both to the truth about politics and to the preservation of political liberty.

Against Nature was one of the most shocking French novels of the 19th century. When it was published in 1884, it thrilled the aesthetes, the poets, and the intellectuals of Europe on both sides of the Channel (notably Oscar Wilde) because for all its lofty tone, it had, as its core, an unbridled decadence, and it was this same character that challenged, even horrified, established bourgeois society.

Story
With The Alloy of Law, Brandon Sanderson surprised listeners with a New York Times best-selling spinoff of his Mistborn audiobooks, set after the action of the trilogy, in a period corresponding to late 19th-century America. The trilogy's heroes are now figures of myth and legend, even objects of religious veneration. They are succeeded by wonderful new characters, chief among them Waxillium Ladrian, known as Wax, hereditary lord of House Ladrian.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author’s death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure.
